Yeah I think the title basically says it all. Plan our contests.

Contest Ideas
King and Queen of space.
Dress your avatar in spacey outfit.

Art contest 1: Draw your avatar sightseeing on tour. Did you see something beautiful, scary, strange, just plain crazy?
Art contest 2: Draw your avatar with Leo or Capricorn. Are we talking? Are we dancing? Are we battling space pirates trying to take our food?

Writing: Capricorn (or I depending on who is talking) really like things organized so she likes to keep track of what we see and do while on the space station. We see and do a lot of things so it’s hard to record everything. Capricorn wants you guys to help by writing your own Event Report. Write about anything that happen that we didn’t know about while on tour. Be as creative as you want. 1500-2000 words( depends on long you want it)?

Mini game
Name that constellation: Post a picture of a constellation throughout the thread. First person to name it correctly wins a prize. I think this one should give out just gold prizes.


Hidden messages: Bold certain letters throughout posts and solve puzzles.
Kind of like Hangman but no consequences just rewards. There can be as many as you want per day. If they solve each puzzle for every day and submit the OVERALL message first they can win the ultimate prize.

Open the Locked Containment Area. Roll combination of dice to unlock the doors. Series of doors ranging in mystery prizes. 4 number combination locks on each. (or more or less...whatever)

Possible item prizes to consider?
Super Nova
Interstellar Bounty
Space Pirate
Aurora Kitten Star (any kitten star)
Comet Candy
[Animal] North Star Penguin
Victoire Corsair
Protostar Guardian
Zorya
Celebrated Comet
Comet Breaker
Interstellar Astronaut
Space Meow
Planet X
The Sun
The Moon
Twinkle the Space Goat
Stellarscapes
Boundless Gaze
Space Channel Gaia Beta
Space Channel Gaia Alpha
Space Wreck

Some of the basic contests to put in the room are the writing, art, and King and Queen of the Space Station contest. Consider these the must-haves and try to dress them up so they're spacier in presentation.

Some additional contests may include RNG contests, first-person-to-quote-something contests, and various other non-skill-requiring contests. Again, space theme stuff.

This will also hold the position of dividing funds, which we will inform you of once we have more than just what I've put on the account to work with.

Go. Work out contest details, how each contest will be presented, judged, rewarded, etc.

The name of the mule is currently cdsmule1
If you can think of an appropriate name to change it to that would be wonderful.

I have changed the name of the mule to SSLC Mainframe
If what you donate doesn't get used, we'll return it to you.

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH I FIXED THE HORN
The problem was that I'm drawing the head at more of a 3/4 angle than the reference so I went and looked at a bunch of Aradia pics (from homestuck) and got the basic idea of how to foreshorten curly horns.
...yey homestuck fandom xD

Hurrah! smile
I knew you can do it crying
Horns are the worst but I might be drawing some on my new avatar if I get enough gold from some contests to buy them.
Are you almost done drawing everyone's avatars?

Oh hell no now I'm finishing the torso/arms of mine and then I get to start either Wintry's or iNk's or Epcot's (if he gets his tektek to me). Once I have all our sketches done I'm gonna do all our linearts and then all our flat coloring and then shinyness (I'm setting it up so if I only get to lines or flat colors I still have art for all of us even if it's not as far along as I'd like.) But I should finish my sketch today, and then I'm gonna see if I can finish the room graphics as well so I can ask DJ Hope to do the coding. Normally I'd do it myself but I don't think I'll have the time.

Things you need for each front-page contest to be complete:
Quote:
Title (preferably somehow space-related):
How to play:
Award:
What needs to be posted in the room thread to activate a game:
Other:

The first three will actually be content posted on the front page, so double check for typos and whatnot. The fourth item is for our eyes only so we know what we need to do for the game (like post an image or something). The fifth is anything else that may apply, like if there's a specific person/character who will activate the event



You will also be working with Wintry to put together the plot-related events that have a prize attached to them, and it may help to put together a list of what prizes are going to what event for reference.

Ah okay. I also have another one waiting...Helps clean out my inventory and might ease my guilty conscience as per lack of contribution and overall laziness.
