Winner Take All Contest - February 2011

[themuppet]

Winner Takes All! February 2011 CONTEST
Entry fee: 1 ATC!

This month's theme: Love/Hate in honor/dishonor of V-day.
If you love it, hate it, love to hate it, or hate to love it, it's an entry!
(cards should be submitted on theme but don't have to be related to Valentine's day at all. They could be something you love, something you hate, a representation of love/hate, things in love, people in love, people in love with their toasters, and on and on!)


I'm resurrecting the "Winner Takes ALL" contest. If you want to participate, just make an ATC and paste or attach a pic of it in this thread. At the end of the month, one of the entrants will be randomly selected (random.org) and that person wins ALL of the cards! In an effort to get more participation, I'm adding themes to the mix, but I'll make them as open to interpretation as possible!

So here are some rules:

* To play, each participant must attach one ATC to the thread to gain one entry into the draw. There is no entry without a scanned card in the thread. And please remember that this is iATCs and you need to stick to your division with high quality artwork. You are welcome to submit one of your previously "available" cards. You don't have to make a new one if you already have some available.
* You can contribute up to 5 cards per month (for 5 entries).
* The contest closes on the day prior to the last day of the month. This means entries must be received by February 27th @11:59 EDT.
* On February 28th, www.random.org will be used to pick the winner.
* Once the winner has been announced, we will send a PM with mailing address to all participants. You will then mail your entry card(s) to the winner. Please post to the thread that you have mailed. Cards should be mailed within 7 days.
* This contest is open to everyone, staff included.

[goodmorningstarshine]

AHHH!!! This is the kind of gamble I'm willing to take! Count me in.

[katilady]

sounds awesome!

[Sharazoid]

I'm in too! mwahaha!

[Amerasu]

I'll try and play.

[themuppet]

Yay! I'll add your names to the list as soon as you post an ATC! Thanks for playing, and I'm psyched to see what you all come up with :D

[artree]

What's V-day? Valentine's Day or End-Violence-Against-Women-and-Girls Day?

Should our cards be only on theme?

[goodmorningstarshine]

What's V-day? Valentine's Day or End-Violence-Against-Women-and-Girls Day?

Should our cards be only on theme?

What about V-E and V-J day?

[themuppet]

What's V-day? Valentine's Day or End-Violence-Against-Women-and-Girls Day?

Should our cards be only on theme?

Oh definitely Valentine's Day. I'll dishonor Valentine's Day all day long, but dishonoring End Violence Against Women and Girls Day is a little inappropriate even for me!

Cards should be submitted on theme, but the theme of Love/Hate is pretty broad. You could paint something you love, something you hate, a representation of love/hate, things in love, people in love, people in love with their toasters, and on and on. :D

[artree]

To Starshine: Oh. So many V-days? :)

To The Muppet: Yeah I didn't suppose it could mean the Stop Violence day, after I read the whole post through. Because nobody can really hate that, can they?

[themuppet]

What about V-E and V-J day?

or VD day? Get your fresh hot syphilis here!

(I have no idea what any of those are!)

[themuppet]

Oh. So many V-days? :) I don't suppose it can mean the Stop Violence day, though. Because you can't really have somebody hating that, can you?

heheh exactly! Your card doesn't have to have anything to do with V-day though, just Love or Hate :D

[artree]

or VD day? Get your fresh hot syphilis here!

Can't resist... Clap! Clap!

[themuppet]

hahahhahahaha!!

[goodmorningstarshine]

(I have no idea what any of those are!)

Double you Double you two. Victory in Europe day and Victory in Japan day. May 8, 1945 and August 14, 1945.

[themuppet]

OHHHH gotcha. My history skillz are lacking for sure. ;)

[goodmorningstarshine]

Yeah, no worries. I owe 12000$ to the government for an education I don't use, so every now and then I have to throw something out to validate myself.

[Amerasu]

Here's my card so sign me up! He's Uncupid, the Heart Squisher.

This is what I did for the last hour instead of working. I'm just not good with Friday afternoons. They call to me.

[themuppet]

LOL that's freakin' awesome, Sal! I hear you about fridays. I have the same problem with both fridays and saturdays, noooooo work motivation.

[goodmorningstarshine]

You did that in an hour? You rock!

[Cindyjob]

Dammit Sal....now I HAVE to play! I won in March...which was insanely awesome.

[goodmorningstarshine]

Well, I made one card. I'm not sure if I'll make more; if I make 5 and don' win I'll feel like a big loser, while if I just make one I'll only be a small loser. You know what I mean?

My card is "Gotta Love it", a twisted Valentine.

[grrrdjules]

Oh, I love Lizzie! Did she also take an axe...and give her mother 40 whacks?

I second that. A cut above the rest for sure. :)

[AnnD]

Awww! *Blushes*

[grrrdjules]

Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! That is freaking hilarious Ann.

[AnnD]

Hee hee! Thanks, Jules! Do you recognize the head? :D

[Cindyjob]

I have had a VERY rough month so far. I will feel much better when I win.

[goodmorningstarshine]

I have had a VERY rough month so far. I will feel much better when I win. Hmm. :skeptical:

[AnnD]

See, that's funny, Cindy, because I was thinking you would feel much better when I won. Weird.

[grrrdjules]

Y'all are going to feel freaking bursting with altruistic goodness when I win.

Ann, I give up, where is that head from???

[AnnD]

You sent that head (and its corresponding body, smartly outfitted in knitted casuals) with your One-Eyed Wonder returns. :pretty:

[Tlouey]

ROFL! I know a few people like that, AnnD

[grrrdjules]

Ahha! I knew she looked familiar! I also used one of her images on a card about strap-on devices - she is such a slut!

[AnnD]

LMAO!

Wait. That comment is too short.

LMA All the Way Off. (Don't I wish!)

[Cindyjob]

LMAO!

Wait. That comment is too short.

LMA All the Way Off. (Don't I wish!)


Your boobs are too big. You'd fall down if you laughed it all the way off.Gotta go for balance, you know like those tippy water drinking birds in the top hats.Drinky Bird (www.squidoo.com/drinking-bird)

[AnnD]

Oh good! I am a small, cleverly designed thermodynamic engine! LOL!

[goodmorningstarshine]

I want one of those birds so much!

[themuppet]

Oh good! I am a small, cleverly designed thermodynamic engine! LOL!

but you look like a toy? ;)

[Cindyjob]

When she wears her top hat she do :hatter:

[AnnD]

LMAO! When I wear my top hat, I get all blue and hopped up on goofballs. It's weird.

[Sharazoid]

Okay...here goes. I will burst alla yer bubbles, but you will be happy for me when I win...so happy you will pee (hee hee).

[goodmorningstarshine]

I won't be happy for any of you. I'm a humbug.

[themuppet]

Dig it Shara!! :D

[EdensRainbow]

Awesome Sharazoid! Whoever wins is gonna be a lucky bitch. :D

[AnnD]

I totally resent that! I will be a lucky saint!

[Sharazoid]

Yes, cause if Ann wins, she is going to selflessly send all of the cards to me (& the rest of you, too). How saintly!

[Cindyjob]

If Ann is indeed a lucky Saint, she will be Saint Livia (http://www.wonderstrange.com/amy/125-saint-livia)
In fact, why don't one of you lovely ladies ask her where Saint Livia now resides??

[AnnD]

Tee hee! *Polishes halo*

[artree]

So sorry, but there's one more probable winner of all this incredible 'lovesickness': ME. My entry ticket is called Attachment. And, considering this is the first such jamboree I'm taking part in, I'm sure to have oodles of beginner's luck.

[AnnD]

OMG! That card has given me lovesickness! It's fabulous!

[EdensRainbow]

Seriously awesome!

[artree]

Thanks Ann and ER. :)

[Sharazoid]

I think it is great, too. BTW, this is my first Winner Take All Swap too, so...

[artree]

I think it is great, too. BTW, this is my first Winner Take All Swap too, so...

Ahhhhhh noooooo!!!! I thought Luck was smiling at me... now I know she was smirking. Well then, I'm going to Hope instead.

[Sharazoid]

Hope is good!

[themuppet]

artree, that card is crazy good!!

[Sharazoid]

If Ann is indeed a lucky Saint, she will be Saint Livia (http://www.wonderstrange.com/amy/125-saint-livia)
In fact, why don't one of you lovely ladies ask her where Saint Livia now resides??

I am shooting for St. Hesper. So fabulous!!!

[AnnD]

I know, right?!

[Sharazoid]

Is it really only gonna be 10 of us?! I'll bet a few sneak in under the wire. After all, we still have 4 days, right?

[themuppet]

Three now!! If you don't play you can't win! Come on lurkers, there's still time to get your entry in! :D

[goodmorningstarshine]

[Sharazoid]

I've gotten my first three cards from this swap. Thanks to AnnD, Cinders & GMS. Love them all even better irl.

[AnnD]

Yay!

"Do we get iTraders for this?" asked the iTrader whore, greedily.

[themuppet]

I would assume so since you're fulfilling your part of the commitment by sending the card!
