Hi Everyone

We have come up with 4 themes for contests in July. These contests, challenges, and activities are just for fun unless stated otherwise.

We will also be having an activity in July as well for those who may not want to enter the contests.

Please choose 2 themes so we can tally the results and post the 2 that rate the highest.

Just to clarify, in July we will be having 2 contests and 1 activity of some kind.

The themes are as follows:

The power of turtles (This is around the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

Inside the World of pets

Let us into your Medieval world (Based off World of Warcraft)

World beneath the Ocean

Please post your choices in this forum so we can keep them all together.

Voting will end and we will tally up the votes on June 30th.

Themes will be announced on July 1st so you can start thinking about what you'd like to create and the contests will be open and ready for submissions on July 5th. Thank you so much and we look forward to seeing what you choose and your entries

I vote for Medieval world (does it have to look like WOW?), and Beneath the Ocean.

Hi Steve,

It just has to be Medieval themed. I had to change the wording due to how the initial wording could have been portrayed. LOL

OK, good. Medieval I can do. Thanks.

Suggestion: How about adding a poll to this thread to make voting easier ?

I agree with 3dcheapskate about the poll. Theoretically, it should make your job of tallying easier too. But my choices would be Let us into your Medieval world and World beneath the Ocean

Whoops! Forgot to vote - my choices are the "turtles" and "pets" themes... just to be contrary (as in "Mary,Mary")! :)

I will have to keep the poll in mind for next month as you are right, that would have been easier

Oh, this is so great! Thanks! I will choose Inside the world of pets and World beneath the Ocean.

Thanks for asking for our thoughts! World beneath the ocean and Let us into your medieval world are my 2 choices. :)

Hard to choose but my choces would be : Let us into your Medieval world and World beneath the Ocean.

I'm still not clear on the world of warcraft reference. WoW is not medieval, it's just fantasy so would that category have to have fantasy creatures like elves, orcs, trolls, etc. And if so, would they have to be based on the way they are portrayed in WoW? Can "medieval" be historically medieval with no fantasy creatures? Sorry if I'm being obtuse but medieval and WoW just do not click as one and the same to me. :)

I played WoW when it first came out many years ago and it reminded me of medieval fantasy with the knights, castles, taverns, etc. If I would have left the theme as "fantasy", it could have potentially veered off into something that would be not so innocent...lol

With all the expansions I guess it's not too much like that anymore (I haven't played in about 6 years) however that is what it reminded me of when it first came out.

It can be with or without fantasy creatures as it is whatever you want it to me as it is your world

Thanks for the explanation Kristi! It makes more sense now. Maybe I have a totally different experience with WoW because I play Horde, not Alliance so our races are not so realistic! So, my vote is for Let us into your Medieval world and Inside the world of pets.

Hmm, I would vote for Medieval world and World beneath the ocean, I'm not too familiar with either one, but I'll give it a shot :)

Thank you for your vote InnerWorkings and I look forward to seeing your creations

World beneath the ocean and inside the world of pets!

Thank you for taking the time to vote JenniferRehnay

I'm assuming that these will be "just for fun" type contests, i.e. no prizes

quietrob votes medieval! The other should be the sea and not necessarily what's under it.

Just my four cents (inflation)

I'll ask again since nobody's answered, and it's at the bottom of the previous page now:

I'm assuming that these will be "just for fun"* type contests, i.e. no prizes. Correct ?

*I used to be a frequent entrant in the TGC challenges here, which were just for fun. Fun is good!

Medieval & Ocean

Yes 3dcheapskate - They are just for fun

Thanks for the confirmation - I'd suggest stating that sort of thing in the OP of the thread :)

By my reckoning vote totals are currently:

Turtles - 1 vote

Pets - 4 votes

Medieval - 9 votes

Ocean - 9 votes

Don't be fooled into the mistaken belief that you need turtles in your runtime to do a turtle render ! Turtles rule ! Vote turtles ! ;o)

(would terrapins and/or tortoises be allowed?)
