We are doing this again this year! Rules are slightly different! Shorter notice!

Who Can Play
Anyone who plays Gemstone IV in any instance! One winner from EACH instance will be chosen! (Yes, even you Shattered folks.) Winner will receive a $25 credit for the box office!

How to Win
• Design a costume, dress up, and snap a photo!
• With your entry, you MUST be holding a sign in your photo that contains your character's name.
• Entry photos MUST be emailed to GS4-PROMOTIONS@play.net by November 2nd, 2014 with a subject title of "GS Costume Contest - YOUR CHARACTER NAME" (For example: GS Costume Contest - Wyrom)
• One entry per account!
• Please include your account name and instance in the email.
• Please keep in mind that entries will be made public on our Facebook Page. With that said, that means that no costume may contain nudity or in other ways violate the ToS or our game rating.

Voting
Voting will start November 3rd and will end November 7th. How voting will work is TBD.

Entries that lack any of these steps, use any sort of filtering (sorry Instagram), or appear to be fakes will be disqualified.

"...With that said, that means that no costume may contain nudity.."

Spoil sports! Although my birthday suit would probably need ironing so perhaps that's just as well.

Any chance that if you do this again we be given a bit more notice and perhaps told about it prior to Halloween, when most of us would be dressing up to go out to parties and such?

Huh, looks like the forward hung up somewhere.

I'll go ahead and extend the deadline until tomorrow at 11:59pm EDT. Email it directly to me at GS4-Wyrom@play.net.

It slipped through the cracks due to the length of EG this year. There was absolutely no down time at all for the entire 2 weeks.

Sent it directly to you this time Wyrom.

...taken a minimalist approach to Halloween costume...as you will see - haha. It should be entitled: "50 ways to use a shower curtain... #1...)

If you don't get it this time, not to worry.

Alright, well it seems that this didn't generate a lot of interest! Next year, if we do something similar, we'll try to start it a lot earlier!

Winner will be announced shortly!

heh she wasn't kidding about the shower curtain.

Re: Player Costume Contest 11/08/2014 03:16 AM CST
ROFLMAO!

Shower curtain or straight jacket? You decide!

Actually, in all seriousness, if you could have seen me balancing the camera on the upturned linen basket which in then was balanced on a chair, and then angling the camera before pressing the 10 second timer and dropping to my knees, invariably out of shot.... If you could have seen all that... You'd have been in stitches. I doubt Steve Carrell could have created a better series of comedy moments!!


I will be donating this costume to the Tate museum of modern art after exhibiting it for the Turner Prize! I call it:

"Death's Final Curtain"

...I thank you!

It looks like this sign is pinned to a costume

> you MUST be holding a sign in your photo that contains your character's name.

Disqualified!

Though I'd give points for holding a shower curtain with your teeth...or whatever's going on here. Hahaha.

Hehe. Believe it or not, the OCD part of me thought about this before hand - sad but true - and I am actually pinching the paper from behind with two fingers. It was the only way I could get the silly sign to lie straight for the picture. That being said, if it's in my possession, then strictly speaking am I not holding it?

You don't want to know. Haha


Your post made me laugh Daid. Good way to start what is going to be a very long day of work!
