Competition rules:

• When you have finished your picture and want to enter it into the competition, please write 'Final Entry' in the relevant post.
  

• You must provide a preview picture (no bigger than 400 x 400 pixels) as well as the High Resolution picture. (The preview picture does not have to be exactly 400 x 400 pixels - it can be smaller to maintain the correct aspect ratio [for example, 400 x 300 pixels])
  

• No renders, old images or VOB MODS to be used.
  

• You may incorporate external non-LFS images into your work, but you MUST give a link to any images used.
  

• You MUST NOT use any LFS screenshot material that does not belong to you. (You are not even allowed to ask others to take a picture for you etc., everything has to be done by you.)*
  

• During the voting, you are FORBIDDEN to get more votes in an unfair way. (Asking your team members, friends etc. to vote for you.) If I find out, your image will be removed from the voting and you will not be allowed to take part in the competition. (For how long, that is to be decided by me.)
  

• All pictures MUST be uploaded to LFSForum.net, so basically in the attachments. (Other uploading websites are not allowed to be used.) (This is because of the fact, that after some time, the other websites get shut down and pictures in hall of fame or old threads disappear and we can never get to see them again..
  

• The winner of the round should explain how he made his edit. This is not a MUST rule, but it would be great for the beginners and also others to learn and see new things. (This means, giving 2-4 images of the steps, the raw screenshot etc. telling the techniques and tools used.)
  

• Any entries that will be ignoring 1 or more rules listed above, will not be accepted.
  
  

* If these rules are ignored, then the person might be forbidden to take participation in the competition for some time.

Anyone is allowed to post their pictures and take participation in the competition as long as the rules are obeyed.

Competition closes on THURSDAY, 15.12.2011. at 20:00 GMT.

So I've based me on the second rule.. And watching previous editions .. external images were also used before.. So I see no problem here..
An previous example of external image use is in previous RB4 contest page 2 with the nice addition of Kristi..

Your entry is not valid, it's not allowed to use external images as it says in THIS rounds rules.

The rules below round rules are in general, what most of the rounds will have. But round rules are more important and you should always read round rules to see if anything has changed.

I don't think there was a need to delete the external image rule from the "general" rules, since I thought everyone would get that.

e to be lear enough

Hi,

no problem with rules... they are there to follow... but then they have to be clear enough.. by the way .. my English is not that good so.. What are "round" rules??? Are those common rules ??

and if external images are not allowed then what about these example in previous edition ??

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=76698&page=2 by Kristy

So I can only ask to be VERY clear in the rules and don't think people will understand it because you "think" so.. As jrd.racer also thought ... "Wait what?? The rules are contradicting itself.

As league owner of the www.liveforspeed.be league, I have nothing against rules.. but I can assure you it is VERY frustrating to put in all the work when following the rules put here and then have to hear the hours of work were all for nothing..

So I would like it if you at least leave my effort here to watch for other that do appreciate my effort even If I can't compete this time.. ( no, I will not retry another time consuming other effort as this one cost me almost 3 hours work (from 00:00 to 03:00 am this night))

cya around when I get my frustration out of the way...

Final Entry.

Final

Quote from hanzime :

...

Chill out! First of all, when something is not clear, you ask! You ask before you make the edit, so don't blame me about that, it's your own fault that you spend so much time and now you are complaining how much you didn't understand anything from the rules.
Secondly, previous round rules were different, quote from previous round rules:

The Competition rules are ALWAYS there, I never change them, I copy/paste them to each round, but round rules tend to be changed, since the winner makes them up, not me, I only write what is asked for this round. And since today, nobody has ever had a problem with that, because if I recall correctly, it has been done the same way before and there were no confusion, but I apologize if I wasn't clear enough.

And I don't care if you picture is here or not, I never delete any pictures from the competition entry topic, so it can be here as long as you want, but it will only not be in the voting thread.

And I hope it's clear now for everyone "External images are not allowed to be used!" And I will probably not delete it from the "main" rules, because I will forget to post it next competition and then again something won't be clear.


BTW, FireMike & Hector - Awesome entries!

Nothing special

Quote from andRo. :

Chill out! ....

No problem ... my bad .. try to read more careful on next competition.

previous entire was mush better . certainly i dont know what u can add, improve there, but its slightly worse than RB4

No way, this is very nice, Taavi. Better than your RB4 entry. Reminds me Lynce's edits.

That's one of the things i'm going to work on before it's a final entry.

This should be enough to explain, I guess.

Not sure if this counts, havent read the rules properly.
