[QUOTE=jnkns;52539663][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/2cCiRYS.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Alright, ALRIGHT! The contest is now over, and time to officially announce the winners. We've received a good amount of entries and it was hard to choose only four. We both appreciate you guys for participating in it! [B]If you're announced as a winner, give me a friend request on steam and I'll reward you with your prize. Thanks![/B] [B][U]Honorable mention [/U] to [I]Props2fp[/I] for his Escape Plan Soldier![/B] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/kbEOzIa.png[/IMG] I just found this one funny, I liked it. [B][U]Fourth Place[/U] goes to [I]Dragara[/I] with his Coffin Nail Scout![/B] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/sNWGgAF.png[/IMG] A personal favorite from the Creator, so I'll give it the fourth spot. It definitely works as a scout who's raised in a flourished area rather than Brooklyn. [B][U]Third Place[/U] goes to [I]Demo-the-man[/I] with his Coffin Nail Heavy![/B] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fLUTe0S.png[/IMG] A really nice looking loadout that matches the orange/grey colors of the minigun. I'm a big fan of a heavy loadout that is able to match with a minigun skin, and this one doesn't fall short from being near perfect. [B][U]Second Place[/U] goes to [I]Thunder_cat7[/I] with his Balloonicorn Sniper![/B] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/lSem979.png[/IMG] This one fits it's theme perfectly, since most of it does fall under the balloonicorn theme. There were a whole lot of sniper skin loadouts but this one I enjoyed because of the hilarity of it. [B][U]First Place[/U] goes to [I]Aferron[/I] with his Plaid Potshooter Sniper:[/B] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Gt0TidV.png[/IMG] This is a perfect loadout of what I expected out of the contest. Implement the design of the weapon skin with the loadout itself, making the two look like they were meant to be together. I honestly love this and it deserves to be the winner of this contest. Very good job to Aferron for making this. [B]Thanks again for everyone who participated! Lets hope we have more contests as time progresses. This was our first time doing one of these and it was pretty fun looking at all the entries. Hopefully we can host more soon![/B]

[QUOTE=Aferron;52558299]What are some ugly/underused cosmetics? I feel like making loadouts, but I got no ideas...[/QUOTE] Some promotional items like the Void Monk Hair and the Person in the Iron Mask (or pretty much all BioShock Infinite promo items) are very underused (or atleast I haven't seen people using them in-game).

[QUOTE=Wandererr;52561981]yo you lot won stuff and shit add me k bye[/QUOTE] I don't want to sound like a crybaby, but Thunder_cat7's loadout has less Artistics than mine and Kibbleknight's. Both mine and Kibble's have 6 artistics while Thunder's has 3 artistics [I]and[/I] 7 funnies. If Funny votes DO count towards an entry, then I am sorry. edit: did i just get decieved

[IMG]https://s27.postimg.org/usu3jbl4j/loadout_9.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.sprites-inc.co.uk/files/Classic/MMNB/CDs/002.gif[/IMG] Well, I tried.

The ratings was just to see how many people liked the loadout, that's all. I apologize if you thought we were basing our decisions on the ratings themselves.

I'm thinking about hosting a loadout contest here, but I'm not sure if you guys would be into it. The theme is character concepts, meaning that you basically create a loadout with a character idea behind it, but what makes me worry is that the contest would go beyond just the loadout. It wouldn't be necessary to do this in a ton of detail, but people will essentially create a character to fit in that loadout. For example: [t]http://i.imgur.com/eXn6eOX.png[/t] "This Medic is Edward Fisher, he is 41 years old, and he is from England. He reluctantly agrees to heal his patients because it's what he's paid to do, but he specializes in prosthetics due to his keen interest in robotics and belief in the superiority of metal over flesh. He pesters his teammates about letting him replace the occasional organ and/or limb with an artificial version, but he hasn't had much luck in procuring willing volunteers (and he does try to respect his patients' consent, or lack thereof, but there are times when he can no longer hold himself back and ends up swapping an appendix or liver without his patient knowing). He enjoys working closely with his team's Engineer to create various mechanical limbs and small robots, including the robotic dove that he keeps with him at all times, inspired by another Medic that he saw running the battlefield with a live dove. He can be very absentminded at times and is not a huge fan of organization, leading to his operating room being in constant disarray and his clothes and hair typically being unkempt." This was a much more detailed example than would be required ("This Medic is obsessed with robotics and prosthetics," would be perfectly a valid description), but it would be encouraged to go into more detail to really sell your character concept. If I were doing a real entry I would also probably do a quick illustration of him to get across how different he would physically be from the canon Medic (at least in the face), but that definitely wouldn't be required since this isn't the media thread and I know that not everyone is artistically inclined. So is this something anyone here would like to do? If it's too much, I perfectly understand and won't press it. [B]Edit:[/B] These will be the prizes if that makes any sort of difference for anyone: - [B]First Place[/B] – Strange Executioner, Heat of Winter, Endothermic Exowear, Surgical Survivalist (An approximately 28.33 ref value) - [B]Second Place[/B] – Patriot’s Pouches, Bunnyhopper’s Ballistics Vest, Airtight Arsonist (An approximately 19.66 ref value) - [B]Third Place[/B] – Hunter Heavy, Speedster’s Spandex (An approximately 9.77 ref value) - [B]Fourth Place[/B] – Field Practice (A 4.22 ref value) - [B]Honorable Mentions[/B] – A random craft hat

But can we ship our OCs?

are cosmetic slots limited?

[QUOTE=Der dasMann;52565432]But can we ship our OCs?[/QUOTE] Only on the condition that you make them a beautiful and dramatic SFM video featuring a love song out of a 2007 AMV. [QUOTE=Creeps;52565648]are cosmetic slots limited?[/QUOTE] No, the loadout wouldn't have to be possible to use in-game. You could use as many items as you'd like (within reason), and you could also ignore conflicting equip regions. And I'm sorry, the more I think about it the more I realize that this thing is probably making y'all think of all the "OCs" on DA where thirteen-year-old girls make shitty recolors of the character models and post overly-dramatic and edgy SFM posters. I swear that's not what I'm meaning for this to be like at all. The whole thing is coming from a personal project I've been sitting on for awhile now, which is at its core a TF2 story (might be a comic, might be a fic, I have no fucking clue at this point) where I'm attempting to make everything bigger, more serious, and as realistic as I can while not completely severing the TF2 connection. I was just hoping that I could possibly get some good character ideas out of this, since I've got a cast of 81 unique mercenaries to fill. :')

When would the contest end?

[QUOTE=props2fp;52565986]When would the contest end?[/QUOTE] Sometime in September, probably. Depends on when it officially starts, which also depends on when I get a feel that there's enough interest to actually go through with it. (I guess vote agree on this post if you think I should, disagree if I shouldn't.)

I think you should allow various entries per user otherwise I doubt you will ever get to 81 OCs.

[QUOTE=props2fp;52566036]I think you should allow various entries per user otherwise I doubt you will ever get to 81 OCs.[/QUOTE] I definitely will allow multiple entries, but I don't at all expect to have 81 entries (let alone winners). I don't have that many prizes. :') I'm just looking to fill a handful of slots to get started.

[QUOTE=Dragara;52565246][B]- The Character Concept Loadout Contest -[/B][/QUOTE] Welp, made my Engi a OC [B]Name:[/B] Dan Kammer [t]http://i.imgur.com/pQd4swn.jpg[/t] [B]Backstory:[/B] Dan lived in germany for 21 years, he never knew what he would do with his life. He realized that his english skills were the key to success so he wanted to become a interpreter. After he got a letter telling him to go to america, he took the first ship to america. He was so close to his dream job he could taste it, but destiny had a diffrent cards for Dan. Dan accidentally took the wrong bus, which brought him to the Mann Co. HQ. Saxton Hale told him that they dont need an interpreter, but he did hear that germans had excellent engineers so he told Dan that he can take a job as an engineer with good payment. Even though Dan had other plans, he agreed. He realized his mistake when he got sent to the battlefields. People dying, exploding, being drunk while shooting all kinds of explosives, people wanting to stick a knife in your back, gimps with flamethrowers, the list goes on. He got used to it, he had to because there was no way back. After months he finally got his payment, but it wasnt a suitcase full of money, it was an australium frontier justice. Dan was out of his mind, he didnt know what to do. He definitely didnt want to start a fight with Hale, thats for sure. He had to take it. [B]Loss of Limbs:[/B] Dan lost his right hand while defending the intel for his team. A spy stabbed his right hand, but he managed to kill the spy, atleast he thought so. A teammate came to help Dan, he didnt noticed that the spy faked his death and was about to kill him. Dan, exhausted from the fight, used all of his energy to grab his shotgun and blow the spys head off. The kick from the shotgun only helped the spys knife, which was still deep in Dan's hand, to cut the arm off. Dan fell unconscious. After he woke up and fully realized that his hand was gone, he searched for a solution to get another hand. He used what he learned from engineering and build himself a robotic hand. But his hand wasnt the only thing he had to replace. He tried to blow up an enemy base and succeeded, but he didnt lose his left foot to the explosion. He ran out only to get his foot chopped off by one of the many automated doors. Dan liked the enhancements more than he should have and also worked on an eye replacement, even though he never lost an eye he still wears it to enhace his eyesight. [B]Likes:[/B] Redheads, anything that looks like gold, JJBA, David Bowie, Celldweller, Tom Jones, Skeletor, did I mention redheads? [B]Dislikes:[/B] Scouts, soldiers, demomen, spies, other engineers, [B]Quirks:[/B] - Sometimes sings the lyrics from his favourite artists - He sometimes calls his australium frontier justice his "Waifu" - Makes strange noises while eating something delicious. - Can easily be distracted by things he likes, especially redheads. Did I do this right? [sp]Why do I have the feeling my grammar went away while writing this[/sp]
