Is "chapter history" it's own paragraph, or did you mean that the 1-2 notable battles, organization etc. were the chapter history?

Good question.
I also wish for clairfication?

Regardless I will want to see if SS will create a Librarian for my chapter. I have seen some of his work and he is quite amazing in the level of detail.

Though this kompetition will make it so much cheaper (and awarding)

I know, his level of skill is ridiculous. You never know, he may if you ask him very nicely (and win)! Personally, my favourite model of his is his Hector Rex:

Apologies for the lack of clarification, I was going to go over it again with those that get through, but I love your enthusiasm.

What I meant was a paragraph for EACH of these sections:
- Chapter History
- 1st Notable Battle
- 2nd Notable Battle
- Organisation

and bullets (paragraphs aren't really needed) for the 2-3 notable characters. Kapeesh?

Hope that helps guys.

Play the jeopardy music!

Now the question on every users mind is who the finalists are!

(At least on my mind since it is likely not me. . . my score is too abysmal)

Well, everyone who posted interest has a chance of being chosen as part of the 3 random choices, even if their score is not enough to get into the "big 5" as it were

Though we don't have too long to wait I don't think... Just Dave suggested that he was going to pick the entrants at about 6, so we only have 10 minutes or so left (as it is 5.50 for those not on English time - the best time in the world ).

Of course, he would have to be online to do that, and he is free to appear and close the entry at any point he desires

This is true. Oh well regardless I am sending him a pm with my finished chapter when I am done being creative with it. so many battles with my World Eater friend has given me a few unique inspiration. . .

It is sad that I can not add in a picture of the Purity Seal that 3TStudios is making. . .

Where is the announcement?

Right, I'm now about to figure out the winners guys. Sorry about the wait, I have been busy and now need to get ready for clubbing...

Anyways, the participants will follow shortly!

Finally!

Oh joy let us see who gets to participate! Question are you posting them on the final page or on the first page?

With my abysmal score, and just as abysmal luck, I dont expect to be selected, although it would be awesome.

Out of curiousity, does the fact that I accrued over 3700 posts on warseer before I was unceremoniously banned from said forum count for anything?

Right, the winners/contestants are, in no particular order:

Jimsolo

Ediin

Wolf

SilverMK2

ZoomDakkaDakka

Not_U

Fifty

Bio-Merc91207

Apologies for all those that didn't get in, but better luck with the next competition if there is one. Thank you and sorry.

The opening post will be edited and the winners emailed tomorrow.

Cheers guys, Dave out.

When can we start?

Also, a few questions:
1) Is there a limit to how many times we can edit things/run them by you?

2) Is there a word/character limit at all in place?

3) Do we need to keep quiet as to which entry is ours?

Woo and Hoo!

Dam.

Well my luck was never good with contests.

One problem though; I'm the only one that does not come from an English-speaking country.
Well, all those hours in school better be useful.

That gives you an extra challenge. Think of it as a test of what you have learned.

I am still finishing my chapter and submitting it just because I think it is an incredible idea.

Don't worry, there are a few Americans in the list - they don't speak English either

I''l resist the temptation of commenting.

Good Point.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I'm still wondering if there are any rules to what should be in each post.

For example, first one: Facts(like lexicanum) and beliefs.

Second one: Battles.

Third: Organisation, combat doctrine and notable persons.

Or is it up to the author to decide?

Woot, got in. But I just need to know,
Would Heroes be like:
Notable Marines:
-Bob Bob, Captain of the 2nd Company
-Mario Mario Chief Librarian
?
Also, how come Shadowbrand didn't make it in? He was the first post and has a 3600 something post count!

Im guessing because it says in the rules "no SW successor chapters" and he specifically said he wanted to enter his SW successor chapter.

Well, it does say no CONFIRMED space wolves chapters.

I demand a recount! Florida, err... I mean Shadowbrand clearly did not get a fair deal!

If I could increase my post count by a significant amount, could I still get enough points to get in

Damn. I didn't make it. Ah well. I made the fluff and stuff anyway just in case. And who knows. If someone drops out maybe i can take their place

It should be outlined within the opening post, however I shall soon send a PM to all contestants briefing them on what will happen...

Yep, that is exactly what I meant by notable characters, just bulletted like that rather than paragraphs and those kind of characters or (even dead) heroes. Eg. Captains, Librarians, ye' ol' chapter masters etc.
Although better names would be good!

And as for Shadowbrand, I spoke to him via PM and was also unsure of how to act, however he showed me his intended chapter and it was indeed confirmed Space Wolf successor (although it was actually a very good concept) and I did say to him that he can still enter with another chapter if he wishes but didn't get a reply...

ZoomDakkaDakka wrote:Well, it does say no CONFIRMED space wolves chapters.

See above, it was confirmed. And I am sorry for Shadowbrand, because he would have certainly got in and is a sound guy, but I never heard back...

Anyways, all the contestants shall soon be receiving an email of 'what to do' next, however, one of them thoroughly read the opening post and has already done it!

THE NAME AND COLOUR SCHEME OF THE CHAPTERS WILL NOW BE POSTED IN THE OPENING POST.
More Details Will Follow...

Hmmm... better actually start writing something now

My fluff is mostly done, although I'm having serious problems with the picture.
