TMW Scrapbook Challenge

How to enter the Contest:

Post on this thread, until December 1st 6th, an A4-sheet image/"page" (210x297 mm or 2480x3508 pixels at 300dpi) with the following theme:
TMW 2020 Scrapbook

  • Text is allowed! Funny quotes are an important part of TMW, but don't overdo it, okay?

  • Collages are allowed! Not too many screenshots will fit, so collage only the best ones :alt-0:

  • Original art is allowed! How many stick figures will show up in the scrapbook page, I wonder?

  • Only one page per participant!

  • The page must follow TMW Rules and Social Convention; Including licensing rules (Must be under GPL 3.0, or CC-BY-SA 4.0, or dual licensed under GPLv2/CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported - Or any license compatible with GPL v3, basically)

  • Staff and ex-staff may participate, but they cannot evaluate their own entries, obviously. :p

After the contest is done and evaluated, we will compile an ebook (fancy name for PDF file) with the eligible entries and it'll be made available on our website!

Hints:

  • Decorate the background! But don't overdo it!

  • Find the perfect balance between images and text.

  • Express yourself! Show your own experience in TMW :D

  • It will be public! Be sure to double-check your entry before submitting!

  • Take the chance from the Halloween 2020 events to get cool and interesting screenshots!

Prizes:
The entries will be evaluated by The Mana World Team. All entries will receive a small memeto for participating (on both servers).

Additionaly, Top 1 will receive a [Crown] (ID 646) on TMW Legacy and a cool Mustache* (ID 3205) on TMW rEvolt to prove your awesomeness!
*: Can be exchanged for a [Top Hat] (ID 2911) if the winner do not like mustaches. (But how D:)


Note: It is open to discussion about adding these pages on an ingame book (TMW rEvolt only) for posterity and greatness and all, but ingame images need to be cropped badly (No bigger than 200x275 D:), so we're not yet sure if we'll be adding the scrapbook to Artis Library.
(We may still add links, though)

Example: Here is a 10-minutes terribly ugly sample I've done so if instructions turn out too abstract, you can have a better idea. Given it is terribly ugly, your eyes may bleed, you've been warned and I'll not be liable for damages caused by this image :p

Spoiler:

Final words: Fun in first place! Good luck! :D

You had a very nice and fantastic idea! A end of the year book with our art, opinions and whatever we feel to make the game as we like it! Not only this is a nice way to leave some trace of the good times we spent on this game and its community but this will leave trace of us as well! :D
PERFECT OR NOT WHO CARES??? IT'S COOL AND EVERYONE MUST PARTICIPATE YAY!!!

Hey people, how is everyone?

Seeing that we had no entries yet, Prsm and me decided to extend the event in about a week.
New deadline is Sunday, December 6th at 23:59 UTC.

Also: Within the next 48 hours we will be publishing the details of Christmas 2020 event, which is being made with love by Hocus, Ledmitz, jak1, monwarez, toams, Prsm, kytty, Hello=) and me, so stay tuned!

Your TMW Team.

i total agree with that :mrgreen:
the images are really nice and im proud of them who invest that much time in creating it

if possible, note a small lizense with it like (Rill - CC BY-SA 4.0) or (Anonymous - GPLv3) so we can use them somewhere else

Final Results

It has been a close match, but the results are in!

  1. Cyrus the Great

  2. Rill

  3. butters

Some general comments from TMWT*:

  • Actually I like them all. So, damn, very difficult decision.

  • I've underestimated how cool this idea is.

  • Rill's would have been first place with nicer borders. Butters needed that and a better font choice.

Thanks everyone for participating!

Spoiler:

So I actually have a test to do in a few minutes and was training for it with the contest data, so...
Stats for nerds:



Cyrus the Great (Undisclosed)

Total 19 points
Average 2.38 points
Mode 3 points
Median 2.5 points
Standard Deviation 0.74

Rill

Total 16.5 points
Average 2.06 points
Mode 3 points
Median 2.0 points
Standard Deviation 0.86

butters

Total 12.5 points
Average 1.56 points
Mode 1 point
Median 1.25 points
Standard Deviation 0.73



Total evaluators: 8
Maximum points: 3
Minimum points: 1
Winning criteria: Highest Average

One vote was processed as 3.0/1.5/1.5 instead of 3.0/1.0/1.0 to be more fair and keep the evaluators total score consistent, even if it might have represented a minor distortion on the overall results.
Considering it as 3.0/1.0/1.0 will change the mode, the median, the average, the total and the standard deviation from two of the three contestants, but not the final results.
In the spoiler tag can be found how the results would look like if the results were processed in "raw" method.

Spoiler:
