All right lads and lasses, to kick off the new forum, I have two contests for you!

[size=+3]FOR THE MACRO WRITER[/size]

Objective: Create a macro with the most :loops.

The macro must be fully functional, and every loop must be called at least once.

The criteria used to judge the winner will be:

  • Number of loops
  • Functionality
  • Entertainment value
  • Creativity

In other words, entertain us, and drive any sane and logical coder absolutely nuts.

PRIZE: Sony 90-day Gamecard and a custom title.

[size=+3]ZOMG Cade! I kant write teh macroz![/size]

We here at NotAddicted realise that some of you have a below average IQ. So for you, I have designed a secondary contest.

Objective: Take the funniest screenshot.

Simple as that. Make us laugh. You can use the screenshot by itself, or you can add text to it if you'd like.

PRIZE: Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player (Black)

[size=+3]Cade!! Your avatar sucks!![/size]

For over two years now, I have had the same avatar. The big glaring head has become a Cade staple. However, in honour of the new forums, I am giving YOU, my minions, the chance to re-avatar me!

PRIZE: Custom title and $10 to be paid by paypal.

Current entry time is 2 weeks. This time is subject to change if Redbot or I damn well please.

[size=+2]Post your submissions here![/size]
 
Here's one pic that I did three different texts for. Friends and I were cracking up for a long time after seeing this.

And two Mis-tells. Second pic names are left in because I felt no need to edit them out. Those characters accounts have been sold and names are changed now.

Loopcontest Macro
MonkSkillTrainer.mac
11 Loops used

-->Plugin requires MQ2SetGrav and MQ2DoCrack for the Safe Fall portion to work<--

| I made this macro to max all monk skills in the most loops I could possibly use.
| Uses 11 loops in total, made for the redguides most loops macro contest :D
| The safe fall stuff at the beginning is because setgrav 5 for some reason sends a ton
| of movement packets to the server and maxes your safe fall very fast. It usually works 
| anywhere from 5-15, but 5 seems to be the most common so you can play around with this it 
| doesn't reset to 5 ever, just sets it once.

Tested and working.This macro uses 11 loops in total, and maxxes out all your monks skills that I could think of. Let me know if you need more added, and I will do.

I'm not sure I completely understand the rules. I don't know if you're saying every loop must be called once or ever loop must actually go INTO A LOOP once. If that's the case I turned MonkSkillTrainer into swiss cheese and made everything go into a loop, not as effective but if follows the rules if that's the case.

Lol is that really yours? I've seen that screenshot all over the place in the last couple of years. Either way it's a funny shot, always wondered if it was fake.

it happens. Usually when you re-activate an account and sony has come out with a couple of large expansions.
always funny though :)
 
Yeppers its mine. I used to have the whole thing on my pc but had to format after my wife decided to download everything under the sun including virus's.

Thought I had moved it to a different partition. Apparently i moved the cropped rather than the whole.
 
Not counting the racism, that wasn't clever or funny. Counting the racism it's just bad.


I'd say Mac is in the lead for screenshot contest so far.

Was there a racist screenshot deleted or something? I was looking at my screenshot and thinking...hmm...how is that racist. haha

Yeah, I was counting on the site being advertised sooner. I'm not happy with the number of entries we're getting, so I'm hoping that when some advertisements get out, we'll get more. Until then, judging has been postponed.

Anyone man enough to do a macro entry against me, I promise I'll post another if you top me ;)

..By the way cade we should do a plugin contest when the site gets more users, I would definitely have fun with that :drink

-UnknoWn
 
The macro entry contest wasn't very clear but back when me and Redbot were talking about it this is the example I used:

=============={Msg.mac}==============
Sub Main(string message,int x)
/declare y int outer
/for y 1 to ${x}
/docommand ${message}
/if (${message.Left[5].Equal[/tell]}) /delay 2s
/if (${message.Left[9].Equal[/Keypress]}) /delay 5
/if (${message.Left[6].Equal[/Shout]}) /delay 3
/if (${message.Left[6].Equal[/guild]}) /delay 2s
/if (${message.Left[4].Equal[/ooc]}) /delay 3
/next y
/return
=====================================

Would become:

=============={GOTO_Madness_Msg.mac}==============
Sub Main(string message,int x)
/declare y int outer
:gotospot1
for y 1 to ${x}
/goto :gotospot7
:gotospot2
/if (${message.Left[5].Equal[/tell]}) /delay 2s
/goto :gotospot6
:gotospot3
/if (${message.Left[6].Equal[/Shout]}) /delay 3
/goto :gotospot5
:gotospot4
/if (${message.Left[4].Equal[/ooc]}) /delay 3
/goto :gotospot8
:gotospot5
/if (${message.Left[6].Equal[/guild]}) /delay 2s
/goto :gotospot4
:gotospot6
/if (${message.Left[9].Equal[/Keypress]}) /delay 5
/goto :gotospot3
:gotospot7
/docomand ${message}
/goto :gotospot2
:gotospot8
/next y
/return

==================================================

Basically, take and make the most crazy spaghetti code you can. Make it funny, make it entertaining, make it scare the ever living dog shit out of people that tend to customize posted macros.

As a general idea though, have some useful lines of code between your goto's.

Time you scheduled to pick a contest winner: 3-10-08
Current Date: 7-8-08
Amount of extra time waited: 3 months, 28 days.

Not trying to be a nag or an ass, I'm just wondering if a contest winner will EVER be picked. Can Redbot, Cade or somebody else please answer?
