Ehh screw yall lol I did *something* Since people want a shitload of awesomeness for such a simple msg these days, i might aswell do some mods to it...

[kthx]

Yeah it was pretty bad, im not great at making movies or anything but I was thinking something a bit more original, like someone freestyling about continuum, or doing something stupid, or a parody of another funny youtube video like "biggest freakout ever" about getting netbanned from continuum or something. That was just bad.

That video sure got boring fast.

If this video ever got 5000 hits and won, I would quit this game forever. This was a piece of shit video, and took you maybe 5 minutes to make. A bunch of green words with a continuum sign rotating around. Mine as well make it a fucking screen saver.

I kept waiting for some kind of in game action after the words, and nothing came but more words. Halfway through I skipped through it to find some type of in game anything, and nothing was there but green words.

If you are going to make an example video, make one that isn't so fucking terrible. This is probably one of the worst videos I've ever seen on youtube, and that is a hard hard hard thing to do. Please never post another video ever again, thanks.

Would have to be pretty gay to cheat, if your video is really that fucking bad and you still manage to get 10000 hits and it is obvious you cheated, then I am sure there is a clause that would make you fail to win over an obviously better video with a few less hits.

6. In order to be eligible for the prize of a 20 inch LCD monitor, the video must receive a minimum of 5,000 views as recorded by YouTube before the deadline.

Not hard to cheat then.

I agree, this is a good idea.

Hopefully these videos will be of any quality. Otherwise it will just look like ww2 starring ants in pants. :wub:

What a nice idea! Good luck to everyone who participates !

We are trying to spread the word about Trench Wars to a new generation of players, trying to get the zone up to the high activity levels of years past. What we want to do is spread the word about the Trench Wars community through videos.

We are announcing a contest...

We want to see what kind of creative videos the Trench Wars players can come up with that will get thousands of views on YouTube. The videos can be about anything, BUT they must contain a reference to Trench Wars and the www.trenchwars.org web site address, at least at the very end of the video, and preferably in other places during the video.

Obviously, the more a video relates to Trench Wars, the better a chance it stands of being picked as our winner, but like I said, it can be about anything. Try to pick something that will appeal to the general public and has the potential to go viral. Some examples are the "Leave Britney Alone" or "Chocolate Rain" videos.

Why create a video? Because the best video submission wins a new Samsung 20 inch LCD Monitor!


Guidelines for video:

1. Create a YouTube video that attracts as many viewers as possible.

2. When you have created your video and added it to YouTube, leave a message in the "Video Contest!" Trench Wars forum thread informing us of the video.

3. Videos that make fun of other Trench Wars players without their permission will be disqualified. Besides, it wouldn't be funny to the general public.

4. No usage of photos from the gallery without player's permission.

5. At minimum, include a slide at the end directing people to www.trenchwars.org. Some examples:
a. For more insanity visit the player community on Trench Wars www.trenchwars.org
b. Make friends all over the world, then blow them away: www.trenchwars.org
You can incorporate Trench Wars information throughout the video as well.

6. In order to be eligible for the prize of a 20 inch LCD monitor, the video must receive a minimum of 5,000 views as recorded by YouTube before the deadline.

7. The deadline for a 5,000+ view video is October 31, 2009.

8. If more than one video reaches 5,000 views and meets all above criteria, Trench Wars staff will select the winning video based on a combination of originality/creativity, total page views, and best display of Trench Wars information.

9. We reserve the right to cancel this contest or end it early for any reason and at any time including but not limited to:
a. Not enough submissions.
b. All submissions poor quality.
c. No submissions gain 5,000 pageviews as recorded by YouTube.
d. Submissions do not properly display Trench Wars information.

10. We reserve the right to extend or reduce the deadline (or change required pageviews) as necessary based on quantity/quality of submissions.


Good Luck!
