Pumpkin carving! :D Question:

Pumpkin carving! :D

Question:

If we, er, aren't in a position to be able to work with actual vegetable matter, can we carve one of those synthetic, perma-pumpkins designed for carving on, as sold at craft stores?

(I won't have a place to/be allowed to work with a real pumpkin, but I'd love to have a chance to enter by carving a synthetic one!)

I understand where you're

I understand where you're coming from, but I feel like part of the challenge/fun is dealing with the pumpkin (or comparable biological alternatives) itself. I think for fairness sake, I'd have to say it wouldn't qualify.

While it wouldn't qualify for one of the listed prizes, I would encourage you to share your creation with us just for fun if you decide to go for it anyway! No promises, but Game Masters have been known to award fun little prizes for their personal favorites, including entries that are otherwise disqualified.

Yes, pumpkin carving.

Answer 1: Game Time is Pacific (GMT-7)

what is this

Clearly the reason Nemesis doesn't post too often on here is to avoid suspicion of being undercover in purple. #teamevil

Since I don't trust myself with a knife I don't think I should be trying to stab pumpkins, but I can't wait to see what neat creations people come up with this year!

question

I'm thinking of making a sort of two-sided design (i.e. carved on two sides of the pumpkin). Presumably I would just submit two unlit images and two lit images, one on each side?

Actually I'm not.

I never thought of that.
It's just two knights, one on each side.

Sorry I didn't get back to

Sorry I didn't get back to this sooner! My suggestion would be to choose your favorite side as your "Official" entry, but go ahead and include the other side for fun.

well

Guess that's the end, then.
Not sure how the prizes are going to work with exactly 4 entries...

Also shouldn't the entry thread be closed right now?

4 entries and 2 weeks of judging? Looks like when you are talking about that you are small team, it means that there is less than 1 employee, maybe 0.1-0.2.

Honorable Mentions:
Because we love seeing your creative carving skills each year, we're also going to send some nibbles out to the rest of the entrants (if I can pry the last of the treats out of Cronus' clutches).

well

Makes sense that there'd only be one winner this year, honestly, you know. A whole four entries and all that.

Hey, it was fun, and that was actually my first time carving a jack o' lantern, so yeah!

I guessed maybe they would

I guessed maybe they would pick 2 winners since in their statement they mentioned there would be multiple winners. “We’ll pick multiple winners.“ Not trying to be a sore loser, just if it was in the statement about the contest, assumed it would of held true. Guess not.

Anyways, Polygon definitely spent a lot of time on theirs!

Interestingly, they have won 3 gatecrasher helms in the past 3 years...

I was wondering from the comment posted "we're also going to send some nibbles out to the rest of the entrants ", if this had already been done? I never received anything if so. o.o
