Re: *** the RPF 2012 Halloween Costume Contest ***

I don't see how it promotes favouritism. Every voter will know who is who in the voting gallery so adding the build thread requirement changes nothing but context.
I'm afraid for the rest of that comment I'm unsure what your question is?

Re: *** the RPF 2012 Halloween Costume Contest ***
It's gotta be you in the costume according to the rules so this year I'm going to stick to that.
No rush though, you can post the proof any time before the contest closes. :thumbsup

Re: *** the RPF 2012 Halloween Costume Contest ***
Just out of curiosity, will the results be hidden until after voting is closed this time? I wasn't a member during the Halloween costume contest last year, but I've browsed over the old threads, and it seems that people being able to see the results during the voting period cause a bit of nastyness. Hiding the results from everyone until voting has been concluded sounds like a better way to go.
As for me, I plan on creating a thread for my costume entry some time this week. I'm really excited to show the RPF community what I've been working so hard on! And while I realize that people are going to "campaign" for votes via Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr, I've decided I will not be doing any of that for this contest. Simply put, if my costume is going to win this contest, I want it to be because it's what our RPF members voted for. When people start "campaigning" through their various online outlets for votes, it becomes less about who worked the hardest/built the best costume, and more about who has the most online friends/followers. Just my two cents.
Anywho, the entries so far look great, and I can't wait to see more! Good luck to everyone entering!!!

Personally I'm in favour of having them hidden until the end but I have yet to receive an answer to this one. I don't even know if it's possible to do but as soon as I hear I'll let you guys know!

Re: *** the RPF 2012 Halloween Costume Contest ***
Ah. No you cannot. A build thread is required for this contest as well as the entrant has to have worked on the costume. This is from the first build thread requirement:

Quick question...
I know it says the proof picture must read "RPF Costume Contest 2012." Well, I may have forgotten the "2012," in my picture...is this a huge problem?
Thread is here, pics on page 3.

Re: *** the RPF 2012 Halloween Costume Contest ***
:lol Go back and lay in the field again!!!
Since this is the first year that the "proof pic" is a requirement I'll be lenient and say that's okay. Next year though be sure to write 2013 on there!
If you really wanted brownie points you could put the costume on again at home and snap a quick shot with a note that said "I meant to add 2012 to that". I'd find it funny anyway. :lol

Everyone, don't forget to name your thread properly! We don't want anyone disqualified because of some silly small thing.
If you already have a build thread create a new one that fulfills the requirements.

Re: *** the RPF 2012 Halloween Costume Contest ***
I understand you know there will tons of crazy questions on this..
Example:
so if you buy a masked rider setup and work on it do a thread on the work does that count ?

Re: *** the RPF 2012 Halloween Costume Contest ***
It'll be assessed on a case by case basis but for the most part if you make modifications and actually work on the costume it should be fine.
If anyone is unsure forward it to me and we'll make a ruling ahead of time so that you guys can know.

One entry per user. If he has a costume that he wants to enter he'll have to do so under his username.
By all means though in his build thread he can link to yours talking about his costume. Just make sure that all the requirements are in his thread. :thumbsup
