Hello!

So, it has been a while since I made a massive thread of giveaways. This is partly because I'm poor as hell and my life's a mess and partly because I've been trying to think of a way I'd be happy giving my things away.

Well, now I feel I have it!


I have noticed how much people seem to indulge in various creative pursuits here on SG, and when the opportunity arises via a challenge giveaway people jump at the chance to express themselves. So, I have a group - Mercer88's Creative Giveaway Group - and you could be invited!

How do you get an invite? Well, just be creative! I am looking for people to create things, to use their imagination, to write, to draw, to do funny things, to build amazing structures and to show them off to SG and the world! It could be a short story, it could be a sketch, it could just be an amazing ship you've built in Kerbal Space Program, or an epic tower in Terraria. What you can do is broad and up to you as long as you can prove it is solely your creative work!


So, what do you get out of this? Well, my giveaways - henceforth - shall be done almost exclusively through this group. So, not only will you get access to my current Opening Gala batch of giveaways, but access to many future giveaways.

What are the current batch of giveaways?

Cthulhu Saves the World & Breath of Death VII Double Pack
McPixel
NightSky
Waking Mars x2

and an Iron Grip: Marauders $10 code.

The Steam keys are all through giveaways and the other codes will be distributed at my discretion.


The Rules

     -Minimum $30.01 CV

     -Do something creative 

     -Prove you did it. 

     -THAT IS IT! :) 

So, if you would like to participate, leave your creative output below, and make sure I can identify it as yours. An MSPaint signature over an image is insufficient!

EDIT Regarding CV

The current giveaways have a CV of $30.01 - This is because I have them set up as private, not group, giveaways. Future group giveaways will be $0 CV, so if you have some creative skill you want to flaunt but not the CV I am happy to check it out and invite you to the group. You can't enter the current giveaways, but future ones may be available to you.

If you can provide evidence...

I still wouldn't invite you.

Nuclear disarmament should be a priority to anyone who has played Fallout. I suppose the government think they can hide themselves from, and the military can fight against, Cazadores and Deathclaws...THEY'RE WRONG!

That's not creative, that's a waste of human life...One that I share :P

But, I'm sure you've done something in one or other of those games that was creative, a screenshot of anything like that and you've a shot!

Have to do better than that, I'm afraid. You see it looks, for all intents and purposes, like you've pissed around for five minutes to try to get some free stuff.

Sadly, Mercer has high standards. Pretentious standards that allow him to talk in third person. :P

Would screenshots of one of my Minecraft projects be sufficient? If so, I'll post some later when I can get on my PC to get the screenshots. Gonna be later tonight, though.

Screenshots would be more than sufficient, so long as I could identify you...Maybe just put a sign with your name on it :P

Will do! I'll nab a few screencaps without the sign, and then I'll put one up and take a shot then. Should be fun!

Here you go! I uploaded a few into a Photobucket folder for you to check out. It's only about 10% done, but I think it still looks rather cool. It's made out of Nether quartz and Glowstone, two of my favorite building materials. And the texture pack is Painterly.

I'm hoping to have a whole quartz fortress made up, with a bit of it leading all the way into the clouds. And after I'm done with the main skeleton of the project, I'll start adding redstone-powered machines in it.
I've already got a bedroom set up, as well as enchanting and potion crafting rooms. And I'll be adding an arena/obstacle course down in the bottom room.

Let me know if the sign I made is enough. If not, I'll add another screenshot to my folder. Cheers!

Are you able to see the pics in my Photobucket album? I set it to public, but I'm not too sure if they're accessible to everyone. And do you need anything else? A better sign, perhaps?

I'll probably upload some more MC shots later, if you're interested. They'll also have signs showing proof that I was involved in their creation. :)

All fine, invite sent. Sorry for the delay - was busy for a while and missed a lot of messages.

It's no big deal! We all get busy sometimes. Thanks for the invite! ^-^

I was just worried that my pics weren't showing up somehow. I have all of my other albums set to private except for this one, and figured that the main privacy setting overrode the ones for that album. Good to know that it didn't. I was getting tired of PB's nonsense. lol

The sign itself is not creative, but for character models you get through.

I always enjoy some good character customiser models. Always used to trawl sites looking for other people's so I could have cool looking characters because I try to make something special and just end up with deformities!

Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

that's great! :D you know i had that problem so many times, i was just disappointed with my characters because they were too weird and clothes didn't matched etc. but when i've started to think more about the right combinations of colours and the simplicity of some combination + adding just some little crazy accents, characters started to look better :D
