OK y'all I've been trying to clear some stuff up in RL but It's not fair to keep you guys waiting on me. To that end.. I have updated the site slightly and I'd like to announce a contest. I have already published my intent to begin some monthly competitions. Part of my idea behind this is to get some different prizes out there other than the standard CoFs. Currently Epis Khobai has been working hard on a competition and a number of others have approached me about others. So... THIS contest is to finally develop the actual prizes. I had hoped with some lessons to be able to make them myself but alas it looks beyond me at the moment so I fall back on you my faithful troops! Here's the rules...

1. There are 3 Categories in this one...
   

a) Some type of Armor- Some ideas already noted herein would be much less potent form of Mandalorian Armor, A device that triggers Nanites (sub atomic sized robots) that disperse and bond on a molecular level to form armor... These are NOT what you are restricted to simply ideas to move you along. Feel free to come up with your own unique idea so long as it is accompanied by a graphic (as these are prizes please really put yer all into the grapix)

b) Some form or Saber or Weapon appropriate to the Jedi Rank- For those of DJK or better it will be a saber given by me the OHC (sorta in the tradition of Samurai recieving Swords as gifts from their lords)... Below DJK is typically a board with various numbers of nails according to Epis Khobai but I think we could go with something like a Monofilament blade or some other nifty techno sword... I know a number of you seem worried that "custom" sabers are reserved for those of OWL? and above but providing only the ranks have changed and that the actual policiy noted in the darkside compendium is still in force, then there is nothing against a specially given saber so long as it is not "modified". I believe this modification they speak of is the fluctuating blade length saber. Then of course the double bladed saber for even higher. So dont worry.. These will be standard and appropriate to rank just Special Obelisk Tourney winner design is all with no funtionality modifications not appropriate to rank. Idealy.. this is in 4 seperate categories as you have the sub DJK Weapon, Standard Saber, Modified Saber, Dual Bladed Saber.. The Standard and Modified however can easily be the same design simply understanding the modified has the blade length variability function.

c) A grapic similar to a Trophy- This is the hardest category for me to define as Sharad gave me the idea but If I understood him, the concept involves a Unique Graphic for each Tourney. This is not required, but I think it would be great. For this reason, I am asking a set of 3 graphics rather than a single... the idea being a first, second, and yes.. a third place.

1. All Winners of each category (and each Weapon sub category) will recieve a Star of Eos, The two runners up will be awarded Dark Crosses (again same for EACH weapon sub category).

2. The deadline for submissions will be the 1st of October so get cracking and turn us out some great stuff!! After all, YOU may be the one winning it someday!
