User Created Wiki Submissions
Character and Episode Guides
Welcome to the
Eagleheart wiki submissions! Here, you can exchange your
Eagleheart knowledge and writing prowess for fabulous prizes! What prizes, you ask? We are giving away
sig images in two sizes, and
exactly ONE custom rank while it lasts! Okay, I know you're chomping at the bit to earn one of our fabulous prizes, but unfortunately since I rule with an iron fist, there have to be... rules.
HERE ARE THE RULES.Failure to comply by the rules will result in raspberries blown in your general direction!
Here's the game we're playing
This event lets you submit your own episode summaries and character descriptions for the
Eagleheart board's not-really-official User-Created Wiki. There are multiple kinds of submissions: Heroes, Villains, Other Characters, and Episodes. There is a full list of possible submissions in the next post. Each kind of submission is worth a certain number of points.
Bonus points can also be earned by submitting an image to go along with your submission. Once you earn enough points, you are eligible for one of our fabulous prizes. Read further for more details.
General Guidelines for Submissions
- The submissions shall be written in prose using good spelling and grammar. (No limericks, sorry!) Feel free to let readers hear your voice in your descriptions. If you're a rabid Eagleheart fan, let it show! The more original your entry, the better.
- The submissions MUST be your own original work, not copied from Wikipedia or anywhere else.
- Before you start writing, sign up for the character and episode descriptions in this thread so nobody ends up doing extra work for nothing.
- Please use one post per submission. If you're submitting five entries, use one post per entry for a total of five posts. The reason for this will become clear later.
- Your entry will be rejected if, in my sole judgment, it is of exceedingly poor quality. If it's an unclear submission full of simple sentences apparently intended to breeze your way to a fabulous prize, it will be rejected. But this should be no problem. Just give it a little effort and you'll be OK. I'm not looking for the next Shakespeare, here.
Requirements and Scoring for Submissions
As said before, there are four different categories for submissions. They are described below, and a full list is in the sign-up sheet in the second post of this thread. You can also score bonus points by submitting an appropriate image with your submission. In the case of characters, we will resize the images to 80x80 to be included in the
official avatar collection.
Heroes: 3 points each These are
Eagleheart's main characters: Chris, Brett, Susie, and Chief. There is quite a bit to say about these characters, so your character description must be at least 5 sentences long.
Bonus: Submit a 150x150 image of the character to go along with your submission for 1 bonus point.
Villains: 2 points eachThese are the one-shot characters that appear in each episode, opposing Chris and the Marshals. Because their appearances are somewhat brief, their descriptions should only need 2-3 sentences.
Bonus: Submit a 150x150 image of the character to go along with your submission for 1 bonus point.
ANOTHER BONUS: If the character met his/her demise or was otherwise done away with, include how that fate was met for an extra 0.5 bonus point.
Other Characters: 2 points eachThese include recurring characters, and one-shot characters that are not really "villains." These character submissions should also be 2-3 sentences long.
Bonus: Submit a 150x150 image of the character to go along with your submission for 1 bonus point.
ANOTHER BONUS: If the character met his/her demise or was otherwise done away with, include how that fate was met for an extra 0.5 bonus point.
Episodes: 4 points eachThese should be detailed episode summaries, but not so detailed as to put readers to sleep. At least 7 sentences should do the trick.
Bonus: Submit a representative 480x270 screenshot from the episode for 1 bonus point.
More Bonus Points - Submit AvatarsIf you have writer's block, here's another way to score points. Submit 5 original avatars to our
collection to receive
3 bonus points. Your 5 avatars are in addition to ones you may have submitted along with a character description. This is a one-time thing--only 3 points will be awarded this way per user. Be sure to read the linked thread for rules on avatar submissions.
Fabulous Prizes
Ah, yes, THIS is what you've been waiting for. The points you accumulate (we'll round up any 0.5) can be used for the following fabulous prizes:
- 18 points get you a "small sig image," up to 100px high by 200 px wide.
- 36 points get you a "large sig image," up to 100px high by 500 px wide. Alternatively, you may choose to have two 100x200 images.
- If you reach 36 points, and the custom rank has not been awarded, you may choose the custom rank as your prize. The first user that gets to 36 points and wants the rank gets the only one we offer.
Restrictions on sig images
(copied from my
Lucy event)
Since this is a corporate board, the admins need to be very picky about which images are displayed. Your sig image MUST be an image of (or derived from) a current Adult Swim property, an image you personally own, or an image you have permission from the author to use. If you are using an image with permission, please keep proof of the permission handy. All images will be pre-approved by SwimHumbug before they are embedded in your signature. Please do our friends still on dial-up a favor, and make the file size of your image as small as you can. (If you are using Photoshop, this can be accomplished by going to File -> Save for Web.)
Your image must also conform to the Terms of Service. That means: no obscene language, no gore, no nudity, etc.
Users cannot normally add images to their signatures. As a result of this, once the image is embedded, you cannot change your signature without first removing the image. So before asking for your image to be embedded, make sure your signature is exactly the way you want it. If you know exactly where you want your image to be placed, please be specific and SwimHumbug will try to accommodate your request. By default, it will be left-justified.
Also, this almost goes without saying, but I'll spell it out anyway: do not abuse this privilege. If you try to swap out an image for one that is not approved, someone WILL notice, and you risk getting the image removed, or worse.
TL;DR SUMMARY
- Read all the rules
- Sign up to write episode or character summaries (see next post for sign up list)
- Each submission scores points, with bonus points possible (see Rules for guidelines and scoring)
- 18 points get you a small sig image; 36 points get you a large sig image (see Rules for details)
- First user to 36 points who asks for a custom rank gets it
That's it!
If you have any questions please ask. Otherwise, happy writing!
