Minecraft Treasure Hunt Contest

New contest! This time it's interactive. Basically, I've hidden 12 signs around Vineshire and it's surrounding provinces. Each of these signs have a unique contest code attached to them. The person to find the most signs wins! Here are the rules:


- You must connect to our Vinesauce Minecraft Server and look for contest sings. If you don't have access, ask to be white-listed. Here's the thread to do so.

- Some signs are well hidden, others are a bit more obvious. You will NEVER have to destroy someone's house or creations to find a sign.

- First Place Prize: $20 Steam Game of your choice.
Second Place Prize: $10 Steam Game of your choice.
Third Place Prize: $10 Steam Game of your choice.

- You MUST PM the codes to me using the forum. My user name is Vinesauce. I accept Forum Private Messages only.

- Contest ends Tuesday at 5:00PM EST. I will NOT accept any entries beyond that time. Basically, this means you have 48 hours from when this was posted.

- The signs will say "CONTEST CODE:", so you'll know one when you see one. Following that is a unique combination of letters and numbers.

- Once you write the codes down, you may choose to destroy the sign if you want.


So that's it! Everyone get to hunting and good luck to all!

Tame's Greentext Challenge

Hey everyone, time for another contest! You know how in chat, we see plenty of greentext? Especially from a certain person named Tame? Well, that's all about to end with a new contest!

Starting on March 12th and ending on March 24th, Tame is swearing off of greentext. If you think the implications implied here are impossible, then challenge him.

The first person to post an actual Chatango screenshot from Tame using green text (>Implying >Using Greentext or saying MFW, etc) will either win a $10 Steam game or the ability to force Tame to stream whatever game you want. The second and third place winners will either win a $5 Steam game or the ability to force Tame to stream a game of your choice for an hour. Post your screenshot here and contact Tame to win your prize. Remember, the screenshot must be timestamped between the 12th and the 24th.

SPELUNKY CUSTOM LEVEL COMPETITION

What you need:
http://www.derekyu.com/games/spelunky_1_1.zip
http://mossmouth.com/forums/index.php?topic=631.0

Rules and such:
1. Must be created using Spelunky Editor Plus, downloaded in the second link up there.
2. You can program what level an exit of one goes to). Number of level files in an entry does not matter, but they must be connected so as to be a single unit. In other words, you could make a single level, or a full game, but you still only get one entry.
3. Custom music CAN BE USED, you just need to insert the music as an .ogg file into the "sound" folder and then specify the file name when editing the level's info. Make sure any extra sound files are included with your entry.

Entries are due Saturday, March 5th. I will stream hopefully all of the levels the following day, and a winner will be announced then. Entries should be uploaded to some file hosting site and posted as a comment in this blog. Winner gets a $10 Steam game.

Any questions about how to use the level editor, contest details, or Jewish culture should be directed to KY, or http://livebyfoma.chatango.com. Happy spelunking!

20 Million Get + A Special Visitor

As you guys may know, we hit a pretty impressive milestone this past weekend. 20,000,000 viewer minutes. This is especially impressive given we've only been around for 9 months or so. If Vinesauce Vidya were a person, he'd now be about 38 years old. His first wife would have just left him, his first kid would be hitting puberty and his first colonoscopy would be scheduled. Congratulations guys, you helped a website achieve a virtual mid-life crisis!

I have a few special things planned for the 20 million get. First, a video which will be posted here when it's completed. Let's just say it involves pudding and piercing the heavens.

Perhaps the best surprise anyone could have hoped for will be happening soon. Vineswim bumps from Mr. Plinkett himself will soon appear on the autopilot. Who's Mr. Plinkett? Some would say he's the Orson Wells of movie reviews. Others would say he's a wheelchair bound sexual predator from New Jersey. Both of these things are surprisingly true.





Most of you know the Star Wars reviews, but if you don't, go check them out! Plinkett is doing us a huge favor by recording some audio for us, so bookmarking his webzone is a small way of saying thanks. Also, check out the Great Plinkett Auction. These crazy bastards are actually auctioning props from the Star Wars reviews and other Plinkett movies. Be sure to include a pizza roll or two with any bids you make. He likes pizza rolls.

Oglopox

This isn't a contest, but drawing an Oglopox can win you e-fame.

Basically, draw what you think the mythical Oglopox would look like, based on its name alone. The best versions will be added to a Vineswim video and kept in autopilot rotation. The very best Oglopox creator can even choose the music to be added to the video. Post all submissions here!

Photograph Contest Winners

First off, this was not an easy contest to judge. Not because there were so many entries, but rather, I find looking at Chad Kroeger for extended periods of time to be grating and soul absorbing.

But seriously, this contest was tough because there were so many clever entries. Before I announce the winner, I'd like to give a big thank you to Proboscis. Not only did he make some great entries, but he made twenty-one of them. Unfortunately Probo, none of your entries won, but the overall quality of your numerous submissions clearly makes you the Nickelking. Thanks for looking at his face long enough to make those entries!

Now, on to the winners:

Third Place - Suaig


This entry is really well done and funny,
but the idea isn't really original. Still, amazing job Suaig!

----------------------------

Second Place - GreyBlackJay


A well made and funny homage to Bowser: by Curtis.

----------------------------

First Place - Gnarlson


This entry received the most votes and eventually completely won me over due to it's brilliant simplicity. The shop is well done, sure, but the important part of this picture are the implications it presents; Chad Kroeger being too dumb to turn the picture towards the camera. Sure, it's not as flashy as some of the other entries, but I can safely say that something like this would probably piss off Chad himself. THAT is an accomplishment.

Congrats to everyone and thanks for all the great entries!
