FORUM EVENT: "Path Of Neo" Storytime Adventure!

[Forum Event Admin]

Some of you might remember the photo story we were doing with Path Of Neo in the gaming forum. Well, now we're expanding this into the first non-mock-wars forum event!

http://www.i-mockery.com/blabber/pics/matrix-pathofneo-contest.jpg

PATH OF NEO STORYTIME ADVENTURE!

The goal is to birth a story using manipulations of "Path Of Neo" screenshots. Look at what other people have posted and create your continuation of the story! It's like that campfire game you kids used to play, only on the internet and with the possible threat of legal action!

You have until December 15th to make your contribution to the story.

After the story is completed, it will go up on the I-Mockery.com frontpage as a new article to be viewed by all!

Additionally, we will hold an open vote for 'best picture', with prizes!

GRAND PRIZE (2 Winners): "Path Of Neo" game for PC
THE REST OF YOU: Your contribution immortalized on i-mockery.com!

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE

Anyone with a registered I-Mockery.net account can participate.

RULES FOR PARTICIPATION

1. No "not safe for work" material.
Do not post anything that you wouldn't show your grandmother. We at i-mockery love our grandmothers. And yours.

2. .JPG and .GIF file formats only.
No .bmp, .png, .tga, or whatever else you assholes are going to try to pull.

3. No hotlinking.
The image uploader for this event is linked at the bottom of this post, so please use that to upload your pictures. Do not host them on your own space. This rule is waived until the uploading utility is active.

4. No outside captioning.
All of your text should be included INSIDE the image. Try to use the "Comic Book Commando" font (which can be downloaded HERE (http://www.i-mockery.com/chojin/comicbookcommando.zip)) when you are including narrative text such as "Later that day...", "Elsewhere...", etc. It's not a requirement, per se, but it will definitely make the story look better in the long run.

5. Images must include content from a Path of Neo screenshot.
Not your artistic interpretation of the characters.

6. Images must be equal to or below 600 pixels in width.
So that you don't stretch out peoples' web browsers who run in 800x600 resolution.

7. Maximum of 2 pictures per post, but unlimited posts allowed.
If you have an idea that really needs a couple pictures to flesh it out, feel free to post two pictures to do it. This does not mean that you only get to make two pictures in the story - You can post as many times as you like. Provided...

8. Do not post twice in a row.
Let other people create the story too; Let at least one other person post before you add to the story.

9. Images must be manipulated in some way.
Do not just take a screenshot and add word bubbles. That's not the point of what we're doing here.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Images created in any digital editing program are accepted, be it Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, MSPaint, or others. We only ask that it be of somewhat reasonable quality and that it continues the storyline being created by the other forum members.

Here's how you participate:
- Read the story thus far
- Create an image with content from any Path Of Neo screenshot
- Upload your image using the program included at the bottom of this post
- Post your contribution in this thread and include the name of the poster whose story you are continuing. (This will always be the last poster in the thread.)

AN EXAMPLE POST WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS:

I didn't think that it needed to be explicitly stated, but we've added a new rule.

9. Images must be manipulated in some way.
Do not just take a screenshot from the game and add word bubbles. That's not the point of what we're doing here.

Also, do try to be interesting if you're not going to be funny. Adding speech bubbles to a screenshot to make Neo reference YTMND does not qualify. If it takes you about as much time to make the image as it does for the rest of us to look at it, there's a clue that you might be doing something wrong.

That said, the rest of you are doing a fine job, keep up the good work. You all have 22 days left to submit your entries.

The story may be continued from SlyBattery.

[Forum Event Admin]

This contest has now concluded. The two lucky winners of a brand new copy of "The Matrix: Path of Neo" game for the PC are:

Bigtimebanned and James.

Congrats to the both of you. Please make sure you both send a PM to "mockery" with your full names and mailing addresses so your prizes can be sent out shortly.

To everybody else who participated, thanks for entering. We'll be having more of these contests very soon, so keep an eye out for them so you can try to win again!

[James]

PM has been sent. :)

[Chojin]

And a hearty 'Fuck You' to all the people that ruined this to the point where it can't be shown on the actual site. I'll just be deleting your entries from now on.

[Seven Force]

Was I one of them? :(

[Supafly345]

No, it was me, for sending it down a spiraling nosedive.

[Ninjavenom]

Well, personally, i thought my entry was pretty goddamned funny.

[Mockery]

Personally, I think these things will get better with time. We'll be starting up another one soon and I hope you'll all participate in 'em. And remember, you're not limited to one entry in these things either.

In regards to what Chojin was talking about, we might screen some entries to ensure that the quality of the stories keep getting better. We'll see how it goes :o

[bigtimecow]

dayom, thanks fellas.

does this game actually look good? i haven't read any reviews or anything (which i'm guessing i should), but i'm hoping it's good enough to run on my shitty PC :(

[Mockery]

I have a copy of the game myself and I like it a lot, extremely fun game with a cool fighting engine. Just wish I had more time to play it these days. :P But yeah, like all 3D pc games, hopefully you have a decent enough one to play it on. If not, well you can always sell your copy and buy something else.

[bigtimecow]

so this game is pretty cool looking and all, but so far the fighting engine seems really limited and stupid. but then again me and my pal only got past the first training thing.

:(
