Our next guild event will be Saturday, October 17th @ 9pm PST. (See clock at the top of page)
This event will feature the following:
Rules for each individual contest are listed below.
We will be doing a contest specifically for you trolls in the guild. This is your opportunity to make several million credits just by trolling people. If you wish to participate, all you have to do is troll someone, capture the results (screenshot/video/etc), and submit it to the forum. The officers will serve as a panel of judges. We will evaluate all entries and determine the winners prior to the event. We will be looking for things like creativity, excessive butthurt, dedication to trolling, and hilarity in general. Bonus points for trolling guild enemies!
Please submit all entries to The Fan Club section of forum. Just create your own post and show us whatever you got. In case some of you don't know how, I will provide instructions for posting photos and videos to the forum below this.
The 3 best submissions will each receive 5,000,000 credits.
Aside from a few ground rules, we're going to leave the guidelines wide open for you guys. So get creative and think outside the box. Some possible examples of things you could do are:
Or anything else you can think of, the possibilities are endless.
Rules:
1. Trolling of guildies will be not be counted towards this contest. This is to prevent any bigass trolling wars from starting within the guild.
2. No racist or religious attacks on people. Do not use any hatespeech regarding these topics, as this is not something we approve of.
3. All entries must be submitted before October 16th. (The day before the event, we need time to pick winners)
How to Post Pictures:
1. Take a screenshot by pressing the PrintScreen button on your keyboard, sometime abbreviated to things like "PrtSc"
2. Locate the "Star Wars - The Old Republic" folder on your computer. Inside it you will find a "Screenshots" folder with all of your screenshots in it.
3. Go to a site like Imgur or PhotoBucket and upload your screenshot(s). (If you don't already have an account you'll need to make one -- it's quick and free.)
4. Create a forum post on here. At the top toolbar click on the Insert Image button. Where it says "Image URL:" you need to paste in the link to your screenshot from Imgur/PhotoBucket/etc.
5. Repeat this for any screenshots you wish to submit to the forum.
How to Post Videos:
1. You'll need a program to record SWTOR. Personally, I recommend using BandiCam -- it is free, small, and easy to use. You can download it here.
2. Record your footage using BandiCam. Once you gather all footage I recommend using Windows Movie Maker to clip it together, since it is easy and all windows computers have access to that.
3. Upload your video to a video-hosting website, such as YouTube. (Hands down, THE best choice.)
4. Once it is uploaded, create a forum post here. At the top toolbar click on the Insert Video button. Where it says "Video URL:" you need to paste in the link to your video from YouTube/etc.
If you still require help getting your content posted to the forum, just ask Siino, any other officer, or any knowledgeable member. (Most people on Ventrilo will be able to assist you.)
Photoshop the picture below. No rules, no limits, no guidelines. Do whatever you want! The entry that the officers judge to be the funniest will receive 5,000,000 credits.
Deadline for submissions is October 16th, the day before the event. For instructions on how to post pictures to the forum, scroll up. Please submit all of your photoshopped photos to the Laeu the Outlander thread.

COSTUME CONTEST:
The few of you that were in guild last October will remember our guild's Halloween costume contest. We have decided to do that again this year. The contest is simple -- Just come to the event with your in-game toon dressed as someone/something and the best costumes will receive prizes. The 5 best costumes will each receive 2,500,000 credits and will have screenshots of them posted to the homepage for a couple of weeks.
There won't be any rules regarding costumes, but I'll say one thing -- If you show up wearing Revan's Robes and say "hey I came as revan" you will definitely NOT win anything. We don't want to see you wearing pre-existing sets, we want to see creativity.
Some of examples of costumes you could use:
When we do the event we will have an area designated as a "stage". Participants will be called to the stage one-by-one by whichever officer is coordinating the event, so everyone can see the costume. At the end we will get everyone with costumes to line up neatly, then we'll announce the winners.
Anyone that goes on the stage when it's not their turn, spams AoE abilities, or does anything else to obstruct the view of the participant showing off their costume, will be removed from the stronghold.
After our contests we will do the usual /roll giveaways. There will be several categories of prizes, which are listed below. Members who are eligible for those categories will type /roll and roll a number. The highest rolls will win prizes.
Attendance: Everyone who shows up for the event gets to /roll in this category.
Ventrilo: Everyone that is on Ventrilo for the event gets to /roll in this category.
Troll/Photoshop Participation: All of the runner-ups from these 2 contests get to /roll in this category.
Costume Participation: Everyone who came in a costume but did not win gets to /roll in this category.
The top 5 rolls from each category will each get to select 1 prize from our guild bank's For Sale vault.

Some of examples of costumes you could use:

- Superheroes (Superman, Batman, etc)
- Traditional Halloween characters (Vampire, ghost, etc)
- Professions (Firefighter, nurse, etc)
