Discussion: City of Heroes Declare Your Loyalty 6 Year Anniversary Contest!

I am another unfortunate soul living in Quebec (although perhaps not for much longer, since Quebec is making it almost impossible for my wife (from the Philippines) to work here, despite the incredible need for nurses) and I could just scream sometimes at the way I can never participate in anything.

Not really contributing to this thread, but I just wanted to gripe a bit, because you have no idea how much it pisses me off.

I hope that anyone who's unable to enter will still post any artwork they make that's inspired by the theme of the competiton.

I was really thinking about staying out of this one since I certainly don't need more demands on my time, but man I'd love to have some artwork shown in-game... Oh squee!

I think I'll give it a shot, but it would be so very helpful to have source artwork to work from. What does Cole look like? What do typical resistance types look like? The PPD?

I know you have a few screenies on your GR site, but a fansitekit like for CoH/V would be super helpful

It's nice to be able to air these issues around the forums of course, but I would ask the everyone remember the days when it was only NA that could enter. The marketing team have done an amazing job getting the other territories and countries involved.

Every competition thread descends into exclusion discussion, and I would imagine its quite discouraging for the teams that organise these competitions.

To those that sadly cannot enter, apologies but I would suggest encouraging those that can enter with your ideas, because if you cant directly make a mark in CoH, do it indirectly!



Back on topic however, and this one's for David. I entered a full poster design with non serif lettering, I would hope the intent of the poster was obvious, but was wondering should I send a second email in explaining the thought process behind the poster?

Points well made of course as always, just nice to have a balance in situations like this. I would sincerely hope that everyone can be involved in future competitions of course!!!

I would also hope that any assistance offered for peoples entries would be remembered should that person win, but it is a put of a punt based on whether that person is feeling heroic or villainous. If someone helped me with an entry, I would sure as hell make sure their assistance was known, but I do appreciate that not everyone is like that.

Still, here's hoping to hear back on my other question as well, I would like to think the reasoning behind my entry was obvious, I do have a failure in overthinking things though...

perhaps I should just stick to massacring Rikti troops....

Could the loyalist piece be 256x512 instead of 512x256?

I'd like to think my idea is awesome, implimentation might let it down though... I however went vertical with my idea, DOH! nevermind, hope the concept shines through!!!

And thanks for the reply David

My first inclination after looking at old propaganda was also vertical, but I remembered that they said "billboards" in game... and well, billboards arent really vertical.
(there may be some in real life, but in game, I think all are horizontal)

So sure, you can stray from the norm, but my best guess would lead me to believe that if they didnt have to change the orientation to make it work with most likely whats already placeheld in game, it may be to your benefit.

yeah I'm thinking that too, would prefer to avoid resubmitting as I'm sure its one submission per person!!!
