Pumpkin Carving Contest - Win a WotG PC!

Pikko · 10-08-2008, 06:43 PM

Hi BG!

We're running a Pumpkin Carving Contest at Allakhazam and Square Enix will be providing a Grand Prize (open to US residents) Wings of the Goddess PC. First prize (open worldwide) is a Tidal Talisman with the code for the in-game item.

Full details can be found here: http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/sdetail.html?story=15301

Pumpkin carving is extremely fun, so if you have never tried it before, don't let that deter you!

Hey who was that guy that won a FFXI pc a few years back that had to practically sue SE to receive his prize?

Neato contest Pikko, good luck on the entries.

zoobernut · 10-08-2008, 07:55 PM

some of the entries from last year were really impressive. Looks exciting can't wait to see the entries this year.

S N K · 10-08-2008, 08:05 PM

Some of those pumpkins are amazing.

Lexa · 10-08-2008, 08:09 PM

I was like "Oh, I wanna do this!"

Then I looked at the entries from last year, and was like, "I can't do this.

"

Pikko · 10-08-2008, 08:14 PM

Aww, don't feel like that. Give it a try anyway.

I suggest buying a pumpkin carving kit though. They have little saws and a scooper that really help. They're like 4-5 dollars at Walmart or supermarkets. The detail saw is great.

Aksannyi · 10-08-2008, 08:49 PM

Those entries from last year are awesome. O_O I'd love to give this a try but I get the feeling my roommates would shit a brick if I carved a pumpkin here. Dumb bitches.

I think you should so turn the tarelvaan into a carving since that's awesome.

I agree about the Ifrit one, the Fenrir one was good too.

vagus · 10-09-2008, 12:00 AM

Pikko!! I <3 your sammich site! GL on the entries

Epical · 10-09-2008, 12:32 AM

Tsukasaz · 10-09-2008, 12:56 AM

The Ifrit/Fenrir ones are amazing, the rest are decent I guess.

lol.

Furionstormrage · 10-09-2008, 01:48 AM

I wouldn't mind entering, but having to sue SE for the prize, while not surprised in the least bit I think I'll spend my time doing something else.

Spira · 10-09-2008, 09:16 AM

the fenrir one was amazing.. the cleverly carved parts of his body made it look like he was really glowing

Pikko · 10-10-2008, 06:37 PM

Contest has been extended to end at 6 PM EST on November 1st. Poll will now go to November 9th and we will announce the winner on The Mog House.

Crucie · 10-13-2008, 06:59 AM

So in the states winner gets a brand spanking new pc, and the rest of the world they get a crappy (in comparison) game item and a dorky necklace to match? figures.

Thanks, but no Thanks.

Very. This is going to be awesome.

Tubbers · 10-16-2008, 01:52 AM

Pumpkin details are really impressive when pulled off correctly, you have to vary the width of the pumpkin so precisely... it's crazy. Mandragora/Puppet/Bomb are the most impressive to me.

Yeah, just like every other contest for any genre gives awsome 2nd, 3rd, ect... place prizes?

The Fenrir pumpkin from last year looks very well done & I think it's better than the ifrit one due to how creative the designer was w/choosing w/ parts to exclude/include, anyone know w/pumpkin one?

Square Enix has provided the specs of the PC for those interested:
