2006-06-03 [ArchangelGabriel]: Neat, looks like fun. Shouldn't it be July instead though 0.o

2006-06-03 [Raiyr]: Hermz. *goes to find her photos* So the wiki that has our photo submissions can have sorta of like photography (i.e. flowers, plants and animals, blah, blah, blah) and/or people?

2006-06-03 [Hedda]: Oups, "July" is spelled "juli" in Swedish, so it's easy to type wrong.

2006-06-03 [Hedda]: Yes, all kinds of photos are accepted.

2006-06-03 [Raiyr]: Heh, well, I think we knew what ya meant ^-^

2006-06-03 [Hedda]: Ehum! [Raiyr]'s entry is not acceptable! It breaks §1! 

2006-06-03 [Raiyr]: Awe... because it's not a zip-file uploaded to Elfpack?

2006-06-03 [Hedda]: Yes, the entire idea with this competition was to show how easy it is to create a photoalbum using that feature. And you'll get a better page if you do too, as you'll get thumbnails generated for you automatically so that the index-page doesn't take so long to load for the viewers.

2006-06-03 [Raiyr]: Hermz, okay. So if I fix it, it'll be okay, right-o?

2006-06-03 [Raiyr]: Better? *hopes so* o.o

2006-06-03 [Hedda]: Whee! Much better! ;) Now it's very easy to load that page too.

2006-06-04 [Raiyr]: :) Thanks

2006-06-04 [grounded forever]: Is ur dad bad at useing a computer or somthing?

2006-06-04 [Raiyr]: XD

2006-06-04 [grounded forever]: *srugs* just saying.... ^^

2006-06-04 [Hedda]: Nah... He's a newbie though.

2006-06-04 [Hedda]: Nice photos Mariah! They make me feel on vacation! ;)

2006-06-04 [Ninja~KI]: can you add cool effects to your photos or do they have to be plain untouched pics?

2006-06-05 [Hedda]: [Ninja~KI]: You can do that if you want, but this isn't a effect-making competition.

2006-06-05 [Hedda]: [Monika]: Cute girl and cat! A winning combination! ;)

2006-06-05 [devilock]: i made awiki a long time ago of my beloved friend. can i join it or should i upload it first in the folder?

2006-06-05 [Mare Pacificum]: Thank you :)

2006-06-05 [Hedda]: [devilock]: §1 is pretty clear, isn't it? ;) And it's kind of boring if you use something that people have seen already. I guess I should have added something about that the photos should be unseen on Elfpack before, but I put that on my wishinglist instead.

2006-06-06 [devilock]: ok

2006-06-07 [DARSH]: im in im in im in im in im in im in i want to win

2006-06-09 [Hedda]: Fun comments, [Kaze]!

2006-06-09 [Kaze]: <.<;;; At least I didn't put in the knocked over shopping cart. There's just not enough space to explain that one.

2006-06-09 [Zombiie Natiion]: well i know who im voting for XD

2006-06-15 [forbidden]: Any words for the pictures that I have posted?

2006-06-24 [DARSH]: who won :S in this thing

2006-06-25 [Amaranthine]: No one's won yet. They haven't started the voting or anything.

2006-06-25 [and i was a kaleidoscope]: not all of my photos uploaded, i had 20 of them for the competition but only 13 of them are on my page. so i tried again and the same 13 showed up.

2006-06-25 [kittykittykitty]: Were they all jpegs? You could use your wiki-uploading privs if that makes it easier :)

2006-06-26 [Hedda]: [kittykittykitty]: No, that's not allowed! Read the rules!

2006-06-26 [Hedda]: [and i was a kaleidoscope] The images that didn't work were Adobe Photoshop Images. You have to save them as JPEGs before uploading them to Elfpack.

2006-06-26 [DARSH]: in the MY PAGE [DARSH] there are few pics of me and my firneds, and few of my cozin :s , dose it matter

2006-06-26 [Hedda]: [DARSH]: No problem if they allow you to compete with the photos.

2006-06-26 [FireGypsy]: I have a question. I take a lot of pictures with my camera phone now and i can send the pictures from my phone to my service providers website for pictures where i can store all the pictures. But there is no way to get the pictures onto my computer, you cant even right click on them. Is it still alright if i put them in my photoalbum?

2006-06-26 [Kaze]: if you can view the picture on a website, you can save it to your computer, click on the image, and drag it into the "Address" section of your browser, and it'll auto-type the image file, as it exists stored locally on your hard drive. Should show up as the only picture, and from there you should be able to right click and save as.

2006-06-26 [FireGypsy]: Nice! *hugs* youre cool!

2006-06-26 [Kaze]: Did it work for you's..?

2006-06-26 [FireGypsy]: it did!

2006-06-26 [Kaze]: Its great tricking computers into thinking you're following the rules. :3

2006-06-26 [and i was a kaleidoscope]: [Hedda] okay, that makes more sense. thank you <3

2006-06-30 [Master Of Duct Tape]: can i just enter with the wiki I made with my pics on it?

2006-06-30 [Raiyr]: It has to be uploaded using the 'upload a folder of images' in your house.

2006-06-30 [Kaze]: Uhm... no, not really you can't. Try reading rule number one..?

2006-06-30 [DARSH]: :'( today i had to pee outside in the street, well non seen me lol but , my cozin was using the toilet ,and he was having torble , and i need to peee so bad :S

2006-06-30 [Raiyr]: Rofl Kaze... I never thought pee would be a good weed killer. XD

2006-06-30 [Kaze]: Of course you wouldn't of, for you its a challege, what with your female parts. For a guy, its like walking around with a Super soaker, waiting for a target.

2006-06-30 [DARSH]: shooooooooooot, i though u ment ul cut somthing from meeeee, :D , awsomeawosme , so i still can peeeeeeeeeee

2006-06-30 [Raiyr]: :/ Goes to show ya... *shrugs*

2006-06-30 [Hedda]: my random pictures by [Master Of Duct Tape] removed as it broke §1.

2006-06-30 [Kaze]: <.<;;; *coughs* and I thought I was weird. ... actually... I still do. n.n Mrew!

2006-06-30 [Master Of Duct Tape]: i know, i forgot to delete it, i was going to upload them regularly.

2006-06-30 [Master Of Duct Tape]: if i change it can i re-submit them?

2006-06-30 [Kaze]: Of course you could. He didn't say you were banned from submitting. n.n!

2006-07-05 [Hedda]: [Raiyr] Nice update!

2006-07-06 [Raiyr]: Thanks :D

2006-07-11 [Hedda]: Wendy's Gallery by [Wendy] removed as it doesn't follow rule §1.

2006-07-11 [Wendy]: ACK! Whoops! >.<,

2006-07-11 [Wendy]: I was gonna submit some pics of me in a bikini and sunglasses to the other competition but I forgot that I needed an EP screen in the pic, too.

2006-07-11 [Hedda]: It's hard to get it right the first time ;)

2006-07-11 [Wendy]: I take many pics before I get them right. I am getting a lot better though!

2006-07-11 [FireGypsy]: I take pictures of absolutely everything! Im such a picture whore!

2006-07-11 [forbidden]: I have a camera with me everywhere I go pretty much. I guess thats why I want to be a photojournalist.

2006-07-11 [Wendy]: I critiqued some of your pics, [FireGypsy].

2006-07-13 [FireGypsy]: Cool hehe!

2006-07-23 [Monika]: Can we add a few other pictures to the page directly, without adding a whole folder?

2006-07-23 [Hedda]: [Monika]: Yepp, it's OK! As long as the basic is done with §1.

2006-07-24 [forbidden]: Im going to be gone on judement day.

2006-07-27 [FireGypsy]: Okay i think im done adding pictures lol. This contest is great because now i store all of my pictures on my album and its great because now i can delete them off my phone and not worry about never seeing them again! Thank you for introducing me into the world of uploading pictures!

2006-07-31 [FireGypsy]: is it ok to have over 20 pictures? Becuase im actually using it as an album and you have 10 - 20 in bold. So i hope im not breaking any rules or anything o_O

2006-08-01 [Hedda]: It's not OK, but the rules don't forbid it...

2006-08-01 [FireGypsy]: o ok, so would you like me to make it smaller or something? Or put my good pictures on one page?

2006-08-01 [Hedda]: Nah, it's OK ;)

2006-08-01 [FireGypsy]: *lets out her breath* ok i thought i was going to do a hell alot of rearranging =) Thanks! =Þ

2006-08-04 [Monika]: So since the deadline was July 31st, when does the voting start?

2006-08-04 [FireGypsy]: *shrugs*

2006-08-05 [kittykittykitty]: There is always the element of unpredictability :D But I guess [Hedda] will close it because he was the one who opened it so it should be next time he has a little spare time on his hands :P

2006-08-05 [FireGypsy]: Maybe they are waiting for the two contests that are being advertised on the main page to close so they can advertise this one =) Maybe this will be a mainpoll too =)

2006-08-05 [kittykittykitty]: Maybe! I guess there's no rush to close it anyway. So you think this has as much mainstuff poll potential as the bikinibabes? :P

2006-08-05 [FireGypsy]: I dunno, alls i know is i have waaaayyy too many pictures, i tried organizing them like an hour ago, totally failed, my album still looks like crap XD

2006-08-05 [Hedda]: I've started a secret voting now... Mouhahaha! I'll put something on Mainstreet when they have stopped being busy with bikinibabes ;)

These nice and pretty good albums didn't make it to the (semi-)final:
Criminal Evidence - Good, but too small
a lack of colour photography - Too few comments, but very artistic
outsane - vampirefreak-ads are not exactly what I want as a winner... One nice dog-photo though!

2006-08-05 [FireGypsy]: I told you he was waiting for the other contests to dissipate =)

2006-08-05 [Hedda]: Well, actually I was waiting for me to not be so lazy anymore ;) It didn't work, so I had to fix it anyway...

2006-08-05 [FireGypsy]: Oh lol! *shakes head* ^_^

2006-08-05 [Big Brother]: i fanally got off my ass and got something for here.

2006-08-05 [Hedda]: Sorry, [Big Brother] but you were too late. I had write-protected this page so that no one can enter, so it would be wrong to let you enter just because you have privs so that you can edit the page anyway. But nice photos! ;)

2006-08-05 [Hedda]: That is: I didn't let you come to the final. No need to remove the link though.

2006-08-05 [Big Brother]: i don't care, i'm already a donator ^_^ i was just bored.

2006-08-06 [forbidden]: I wish voting wasnt seceret.

2006-08-06 [FireGypsy]: XD

2006-08-06 [undergroundangel]: lol....I knew I forgot 2 take that tag off that last pic

2006-08-06 [and i was a kaleidoscope]: well at the urging of the comments made at the top of the page i added some captions to the photos i submitted.
also, i went on a little adventure the other day and i got some good photos out of it, but i'm not sure i'm allowed any more... can anyone elaborate? its only like.... 3 photos that i want to use

2006-08-06 [Hedda]: [and i was a kaleidoscope]: You just didn't make it to the final because the other pages were more and better. I'm sure you'll do better next time ;)

I'll put the Mainstuff voting up now.

2006-08-19 [DARSH]: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY i didnt winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn * bouncecs around *

2006-08-19 [Hedda]: [DARSH]: You're already a winner in other ways ;)

2006-08-19 [DARSH]: hahhaa thanks mannn
but hay u chek out that pic in gee submision
I HOPE its not gona be REJECTED :P heheheh

2006-08-19 [Hedda]: Of course you'll be rejected...

2006-08-20 [FireGypsy]: This is unfair! I was told I was disqualified because I have won previous contests. When [Hedda] could have stopped me from entering in the first place. Or he could even have added me to the "not so good" list when he was narrowing down the entries. I feel that I have been cheated and he had no reason to disqualify me. If anything, he should have allowed me to win, and told me I could not enter any more. But even that, that is unfair. If I am winning, its for a good reason! You cant make a cutoff of the amount of contests someone is allowed to be winning in!

2006-08-20 [Mare Pacificum]: I am wondering what the point was of the poll..I don't care who won, but it seems a little cruel to let someone think that they are winning, and then disqualify them after the poll is over. Evil, evil Hedda and Lilo...

2006-08-20 [FireGypsy]: yeah... evil...

2006-08-20 [Whim]: Actually, you can make a cutoff of the amount of contests someone wins, however, I'm sure it would have been very nice to have been informed of such a rule prior to entering the contest.

The thing about contests like this that would seemingly require a certain amount of actual talent is that the "winners" haven't actually beaten everyone because someone with more talent may have been beaten on a technicality.

Either way, it's just a silly little Elfpack contest and as fair or unfair as it may be, you should be more proud of the fact that you put together a decent effort. Winning on Elfpack is like finding a quarter on the sidewalk--sure, it's nice, but I have a $20 bill in my wallet.

2006-08-20 [Hedda]: [FireGypsy] wasn't disqualified because she had won previous competitions - that was just a misunderstanding.

The poll was a advisory poll and I overruled it. It's as simple as that. I wanted good examples of photo-albums and that was a good example, but the winners were better.

If you don't like it, create your own competitions! Elfpack is willing to help you.

2006-08-20 [Mare Pacificum]: Oh, an advisory poll. Ok :) I guess since you were the "poll master" of sorts, you got to pick, eh? Good luck to her in the future :)

2006-08-20 [FireGypsy]: ...he told me it was because I had won other contests... anywho.. Ive been thinking about making some unofficial contests..who knows, maybe they would be good enough to become official?

2006-08-21 [kittykittykitty]: You can speak to any of the EP Contest Crew for help with that if you need it :)

2006-08-21 [Hedda]: Regardless if they are "official" or not, we can surely boost them with stuff on the Mainstuff.

That goes for every contest maker ;)

2006-08-21 [FireGypsy]: Im just trying to think up ome good ones. I was thinking of making an "all things small" contest, where people take pictures of miniaturized things they see, and the best ones win. Or something like "capture the word" where I put up a word every month, and people take pictures of things they see with the word on it, and the funniest one wins and such ^-^
