It's time to vote for your favourite entries again! Important note: Voting for yourself is NOT allowed. Doing so will result in disqualification. Please double check your votes before submitting them, to avoid mistakes, because they can't be changed afterwards. Current theme: Video Games Description: Take your inspiration for this entry from video games. Old or new; Neopets-related or not; based on a specific game, or just something that reminds you of a certain game genre. Pretty much anything goes. Entering period: Monday, August 16 - Sunday, August 22 Voting period: Monday, August 23 - Sunday, August 29 Be sure to check out the links to the animated entries, although with Flash gone (and pre-HTML5 conversion) you'll only be able to see the still image. (Still worth checking out, as it'll be bigger than the one in the thread, so you'll be able to see more details on it.) Note: DTI appears to be having some issues displaying the animation links; most of them seem to be broken, at least for me. DTI also has an HTML5 beta version you can use, which might be more future-proof. I haven't tried it out myself yet, but you can check out the link for entry #5 to see what it looks like. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Voting is now officially closed!

Here we have his concept for an intense Easter egg game: Extreme Kass Basher. A fierce and highly time-sensitive game, where you have mere seconds before your bat is destroyed; either by the waves soaking it, or your burning gloves igniting it, or your arms! All whilst staying upright on a surfboard for added complication. You can trigger the game by... but we're not telling you that! You must find out yourself by playing!

I finally found my way back to this thread. XD Anyway, I did some googling, and I'm pretty sure it's related to member permissions. So I think specific members - or member groups - are allowed to change it, depending on how this is configured in the admin panel. (Not sure if I have full moderator powers, so perhaps @Duma and I are in different member groups, if that's what it's based on.)

For the past couple of months I've been using the Wishing Well more actively again. (I can go months/years forgetting it even exists.) I'm currently making 7-14 wishes a day, without any luck. But, some people, apparently, have all the luck: Like this person: Or this one: And this one (from today): Anyway, while I don't begrudge these people their prizes, it is - in addition to making me feel a little jealous - making me wonder how the Well's winners are elected, because it feels like that system could do with a little improvement. XD Does anyone have any insights into this? Has this been discussed before and have I just missed it?
