What you have to do.
Healthbars. Very usefull images. You know, the things that tell you how dead your player is.
This competition is all about designing one. Make it as fancy as possible. If it is the sort of thing the players will stare for hours at when they are supposed to be playing the game, it is the sort of thing that will rank highly in this.


How to enter, you donate some money to me, using the link in my signature. Then you post your healthbar on this thread when it is done, either just the image, or a screenshot of it in action.

The prize? However much money this competition raises.
If you enter for free, you may still win a small prize.

How long will this last?
Two months. That should give you time to make a stunning healthbar.
Entrys will be judged at the beggining of March. The top 5 will be posted back up. There will then be a vote by you guys.

Got the idea?

Forgot to mention, or did I.
You can enter for free if you want.

THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT END UP IN A GAME.
If it does, you will get credit and/or a cory of the game and/or a cut of the profits.
(Although, I am still a newbie!)

Now i've seen it all! No longer are people using contests to get free content, now they are using them to get free content AND raise cash!

I applaud your chutzpah, but this is ridiculous

I'm not sure...but I think you need a license to conduct this kind of activity.

Here is an example for getting a license to do raffles
http://www.winnebagocountyclerk.com/downloads/RaffleNewClassDOrdinance.pdf
(I'm afraid its the only example I could find. I think even church bingo's might need a license ..).

It is very likely you can not collect cash directly (certainly not without a license) and you might need to use a 3rd party trust service provider. Even if you are not forced to do so ... I think you will find that people will not enter without a trust.

I'm not sure what all the rules are regulations are ... but did you research them before posting this?

What I would do is see how many people would enter first and set a money amount to enter say $5 then if everyone wants to enter than great. Because if you let people enter for free then everybody will and there will be no prize, also you shouldnt use there health bars in a game because it sounds as though you just want money and work for free.

Hey guys give him a break. He just wants recognition and stuff. Also KoH I wouldn't have anyone be able to enter for free, because then your pot won't be big. Plus mabey you should have a middle man hold the money so we know you won't run off with it.

This contest wont work. You should just have prizes instead. And then you could use the healthbars for yourself. As said before people need to know you well here so they can trust you before giving you their credit card number.

I think money gambling breaks the forum rules.

At least its against the law where i am from to advertise for such a thing in public.
I think it would be good to get the "contribute money" issue out of the post and add something like "money donation for the final price is wellcome here".

But to be honest its a very thin line you are moving along. So i think best way would be to let this go.

Question: What would happen to the money if one of the "free entries" won? I'm assuming it wouldn't all just be refunded. I apologize if this sounds rude.

What if everyone enters this for free, but yet your advertising on your post saying "Win Money!". Are you going to pay us money if you don't raise any money?
