Am I the only one who is confused about this contest?
Is it for real world creations, such as mech themed costumes or artwork? Or is the contest for in game performance in specific mechs? Or is it for in game color and paint "costumes"?

So uh, what do you even do for the contest?

Is it just "make a fan created-anything?"

Or am I just blind

I am not sure I understand, what am I supposed to do for this contest? I have absolutely no idea. Am I writing a story on the formus? Am I designing a mech with a cool name that focuses around Halloween? Am I showing off my photoshop skills?

I just don't understand what I am supposed to do. Please remember, I was obviously not blessed with a fully functional brain, since I think I might be the only one who is clueless here.

PGI: "Hey guys, check out these cool prizes!"

Players: "Awesome! How do we win them? Rules? Submission categories? Anything?"

PGI: "Check out the previous contest threads, it would be very silly for us to actually describe 'anything goes' in any sort of detail in the official announcement, or highlight diversity of previous winners."

:huh:

Yeah, the people who weren't around for last year need more details. That's...pretty basic. It's a square zero assumption. How did we get a released official announcement failing that?

I don't understand do you have to use ingame colours and camo's or do they want us to do concept art for spooky skins?The first wording I read sounded like creating skins using the ingame assets like a professional artist but I can't find it again.Then even if you win you can still loose if you get some ambiguous question wrong what?

Um...what?

You wanna maybe give us some details as to what the heck this contest is even about? Kind of vague to any of us who haven't been playing a year or more....which I'd assume is a lot of us.

Many people aren't going to understand this, so I'm hoping if enough people post about their confusion, they may, you know, actually tell us what the contest is...

Contest appears to be the same as last year. (See linked thread for examples).

http://mwomercs.com/...ontest-entries/

Posts can be just about anything which is both Mech and Halloween themed. There have been poems, artwork, minis, short videos and many other different creations posted.

*Edit: Also, went back and read thread description. This thread is intended for entries only so expect these posts to get taken down. Hope my response helps anyway.

Oh I know they will get taken down, I just want them up long enough for PGI to realize that they kind of need to be clear on these things, rather than relying on a forumite to have to link an old thread, and assumptions to be made.

After checking that link, looks likely that will be the case, same rules, etc, but they really need to make that clear in the first post.

Have to agree with others PGI should post something stating exactly what the concept is so people know how to enter properly. ;)

It's true that the information should be listed in the description...

Buuuuuuuuuuuuut most of the people likely to win probably entered or at least saw the contest last year (Shimmy, Rudy, etc.) </assmode>
