Find A Word

Postby Jellybeanjoe » Tue Jul 03, 2012 8:36 am

Welcome to the Find A Word information thread! Find A Word (FAW)'s WON'T be posted here. This is just to give you an overview of rules and judging :)

Rules
* Answers are to be PMed to Jelly Xmas.In.July. PMing answers to any other account will be ignored
* You have 24 hours from the time I post the solution to PM me the answers. I am only human, and may be slow to change the title of this post to closed, however I will only accept answers within that 24 hour period. Answers submitted after this period will be ignored.
* Posting/sharing answers on this thread (or anywhere else) and editing answers after submitting them is considered cheating. Make sure you read the full consequences here: viewtopic.php?f=115&t=163116
* All Forum rules still apply! Make sure you know them!. 12 point violations will result in a ban from ALL Christmas in July activities and giveaways. 4 point violations will be dealt with at my discretion.

Judging
Players will be ranked as follows:
First by correct answers, then when they submitted answers. The number of points (for determining the FAW winner) will depend on the number of entries.

Example
Player 1: 9/10, received at 8pm
Player 2: 10/10 received at 8:01
Player 3: 9/10 received at 8:05
Player 4: 10/10 received at 8:10

Ranking would be:
4 points (1st): Player 2
3 points (2nd): Player 4
2 points (3rd): Player 1
1 point (4th): Player 3

Prizes for each round:
Participant: 1 token
Finalist (top 5): 2 tokens
Winner: 3 tokens

Prize for Master Title
Winner for this will be determined by adding up points earned over ALL the rounds. Person with the highest points is the FAWr. If there is a draw, winner will be determined by looking at how those players performed in individual rounds.

Master: 3 tokens.

The rounds will be posted on the following dates: July 4, 8, 11, 15, 18 and 22.

Keep an eye out for the rounds to be posted. And good luck!

How To Play:

To play Find A Word, you will need an art program of some sort. Simple old MS Paint works perfectly.

The image will be posted in this Forum. Simple copy and paste the image into your art program and draw lines through the words are you find them.

Here's an example (random! Not an example of actual ones to follow ;P) that I did myself in Paint. Then just upload the completed FAW to an image hosting site like tinypic.com or photobucket.com, and post the link when you go to submit your answers to me :)

Image

The actual FAW itself will look like that (minus the red lines!), and you'll be required to find all 10 words in the FAW.

Easy enough, huh?

-------------------------------------
With regards to uploading an image for FAW, if your photobucket account isn't password protected, or uploads automatically to social networking sites, I would suggest using tinypic.com to upload your image. You don't need an account to upload images. Just don't ask me how to retrieve the link later on, but for use now, you're provided with an immediate url :)

I'm confused.. It says FAW wont be posted on this forum, yet the second post says it will be posted here.. It's July 5th and still not a round has been posted.. am I missing something important as to where to find it or has it not been posted and I'm still good?

My apologies for that. I got the dates mistaken (in my head) for this game, and though the first game was due up today. The joys of things being hectic.

The FAW will be going up in this Forum, but not in this thread ;)

I will post it shortly :)

All is forgiven xD

Heck, it's almost one person running everything so I understand how things can be all asdfjkl; lol.

I just thought I had missed something and I spent 30 minutes yesterday reading the posts and pulling it apart... making sure there wasn't a hidden clue or something xD
