KiriK Posted April 9, 2007 Author Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) Macross World Customs Contest This is MacrossWorld Con's oldest and most famous contest! Here we get to see really great customs that people have been working on all year and show it off in one place. We are hoping for a lot of participation this year and we will be rewarding the best of the best in different categories. Here are the different categories you can enter: Best Completed Macross Model Kit Best VF-1 Toy Custom 1/60, 1/55, or 1/48 scale Best VF-1 Toy Custom 1/72, 1/100 scale or Joke Machines Best Transforming Macross Toy Custom other than VF-1 in any scale (VF-0, YF-19, Monster, etc.) Best Non Transforming Macross Custom (Figures, sculptures, busts, plush, dioramas etc) Each entry will be judged individually and the Best Custom in each category will win a prize. There will also be a Best of Show award and prize given to the best overall custom entered into the contest. Entering the Contest In order to submit an entry to the customs contest, PM me or Email MWcon2007@gmail.com and state which category you would like to enter. You do not need to specify exactly what your entry is, only the category you want to enter. I won't post the names of people entering each category, but i will be keeping track in case we need to merge categories if we do not get enough customs. Only new customs may be entered into the contest. No previous entries from past cons are allowed as >EXO< will be one of the judges and he's judged every Custom Contest and will know. Commisioned customs may be entered, but if there is more than 1 commisioned custom, we will create another category for it. Also, commissioned pieces will not be eligible for "Best of Show" prize but can win individual categories. For any MacrossWorld Member who CANNOT attend this year's MWcon but would still like to enter their custom, they may do so by mailing their custom in time for the con and we will display it for you. Please PM me or >EXO< for instructions on mailing your custom to enter the contest. If you have any questions regarding the rules, please post them here. Hope a lot of people are working on their customs!!! Can't wait to see them all at the con! Good luck everyone! Edited April 10, 2007 by kiririth Quote

KiriK Posted April 9, 2007 Author Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) Macross Toy Transforming Contest Here's a fun new contest that we'll be having at this year's con! This is a transforming contest to test the most skilled collectors to see how fast and accurate they can transform their Macross toys. There will be 2 competitions for people to enter: -Yamato 1/48 VF-1 Transforming Contest -Takatoku/Bandai 1/55 VF-1 Transforming Contest Competition Format Contestants will compete against each other to transform their valkyrie as fast as they can from Fighter mode to Battroid mode to GERWALK mode and finally back to Fighter mode. After each complete transformation, a judge will briefly check the accuracy of the transformation and give you permission to move onto the next transformation. A final judgement of the last transformation will be checked and the fastest contestant will be declared the winner. The 1st place winner in both categories will recieve a prize! Entering the Contest In order to enter either of the Transforming contests, contestants MUST bring their own Valkyrie to compete with. Contestants can bring any variation of the VF-1 but all toys that are entered will be checked prior to the competition to make sure it is standard. Post here or PM me and state which contest you would like to enter. You may enter both competitions if you like. MW Con is not responsible for any accidents that may occur as a result of the contest. Enter at your own risk!!! Registered Contestants! Yamato 1/48 VF-1 Transforming Contest 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Takatoku/Bandai 1/55 VF-1 Transforming Contest 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

KiriK Posted April 10, 2007 Author Posted April 10, 2007 Put me down for poker of course! I'm all in son! Gotta pay 1st before you get on the list!!! haha.... not accepting payments at the Con.... PRE-PAY ONLY for the poker tourney. We need the money 1st so we can get the prizes.... sucka!!! Quote
Ishimaru Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Video Game Tournaments Please post which games you would like to have tournaments in. I have not decided which games we will be playing so we're stilll taking suggestions. Robotech Battlecry? I know its not Macross but its the closest thing to actually having something with reasonable multiplayer with VFs. Quote
KiriK Posted April 10, 2007 Author Posted April 10, 2007 Robotech Battlecry? I know its not Macross but its the closest thing to actually having something with reasonable multiplayer with VFs. That sounds like a good idea! We'll definitely make Battlecry one of the Video Games to Tourney... i was also thinking of fighting games for video game tourneys too... Possible games: Street Fighter 2 Turbo Street Fighter Alpha 3 Capcom vs. SNK 2 Marvel vs. Capcom 2 I'm thinking of just doing Street Fighter 2 Turbo since it's a standard game that's been around FOREVER and everyone should know how to play and have a decent chance in competing in a tourney... Also thinking of having a Wii Sports tournament... Tennis probably will be the most fun as we can have people enter in pairs or singles... or maybe a boxing tournament... haha.... Maybe Smash Bros Brawl will be out by July and we can tourney that... otherwise we can do Smash Bros Melee tournament.... games can be played all day long for entertainment... maybe we can have a Guitar Hero 2 competition too!!! or Karaoke Revolution!!! however... input is definitely required to make a final decision on which games will be played.... or maybe we can just have sign ups at the Con right before the tourney starts so more people will sign up..... either way.... this will be lots of fun!!! Oh... and BobePat would like everyone with a Nintendo DS to bring theirs so we can have an 8 way race in MarioKart DS... haha.... Quote
Jasonc Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 I need to pay you for the poker tourney, but for the custom contest, do we need to sign up or just bring the customs? I think I'll have one or two to bring that are new. for the game contest, I think the only game that would be fitting this con is Battlecry. If so, I'll be up for that competition. Quote

Kamjin 639 Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 for the game contest, I think the only game that would be fitting this con is Battlecry. I'm not saying that it would 'replace' Battlecry's sheer transforming-mecha value in any way, but I would like to nominate competitive Ace Combat 5 for the list of games. One other thing: 12:00 Lunch Served 1:00 Mari Ijima Performance Uh...would it be a good idea to get a whole bunch of guys jumpin', hootin', and hollerin' right after they ate? I, for one, would appreciate more of a chance to digest my lunch (that way, I could scream harder). Quote

What platform is Ace Combat 5 for??? another criteria for tournament games would have to be accessability and the number of players that are familiar with the game... Battlecry would probably be a more standard game for the members of this forum than Ace Combat 5... .but if we get any more people interested in that game, we could try it.... and for lunch... we'll most likely be getting Pizza with some sides and it will all come around Noon maybe a bit before... Mari's performance time will stay at 1pm since that's when the most people will be there.... Plus i didn't really imagine this as much of a hootin', and holleing' performance... haha.... it's a pretty small venue... Quote
Kamjin 639 Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 What platform is Ace Combat 5 for??? another criteria for tournament games would have to be accessability and the number of players that are familiar with the game... Ace Combat 5 is for PS2, so it shouldn't be that hard to get ahold-of. Even if nobody owns it (unlikely), the game was re-released as a "Greatest Hits" PS2 game, meaning it'll cost $20 or less at any store that carries it. But as for player familiarity: I can't imagine that anyone here wouldn't have played at least one of the Ace Combat games, especially given that there's a giant thread for Ace Combat 6's pending release on these forums. Battlecry would probably be a more standard game for the members of this forum than Ace Combat 5... .but if we get any more people interested in that game, we could try it.... I agree, of course. It's just that Battlecry's in-game physics get old after a while. (Shoot, transform, fire missiles, fly in circles to dodge, repeat.) Plus i didn't really imagine this as much of a hootin', and holleing' performance... haha.... it's a pretty small venue... What can I say?--I sing along to my Macross Song Collection CD in the car. 「冷ãŸã„ã‚ãªãŸã€ã¯ï¼³ï¼¨ï¼¡ï¼®ï¼§ï¼¨ï¼¡ï¼©ï¼¤ï¼¡ï¼®ï¼¤ï¼¹ï¼ï¼ï¼ï¼ã€ *cough* Excuse me... Quote
Eternal_D Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 haha, signed me up for the karaoke contest already?? man, guess i better start practicing...maybe get a dance routine going lol...where are my backup singers at??? Quote

Considering that Battlecry is available on all three systems seems to give it a better favor not everyone here played Ace Combat, and besides its a Macross Con, we need to be as close as possible to adapting everything to it. And how come no AMV contest? Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 what's an AMV contest??? I'm guessing it's Anime Music Video. Quote
Ishimaru Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 I'm guessing it's Anime Music Video. We still doing a contest for that? I'm more then willing to work on one. Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 We still doing a contest for that? I'm more then willing to work on one. I'm not sure. That's a kiririth question. I'm sure it is still on. Quote
KiriK Posted June 20, 2007 Author Posted June 20, 2007 We still doing a contest for that? I'm more then willing to work on one. I think we can enter your AMV into the "other" category with: Best Non Transforming Macross Custom (Figures, sculptures, busts, plush, dioramas etc) =] We'll be happy to show if off on our projector screen in the Video Room Quote
Gabe Q Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Video Game Tournaments Please post which games you would like to have tournaments in. I have not decided which games we will be playing so we're stilll taking suggestions. We should have a Street Fighter Tournament, any edition Quote
KiriK Posted June 20, 2007 Author Posted June 20, 2007 We should have a Street Fighter Tournament, any edition oh.. we'll have an SF tournament for sure... haha.. but which one??? i'm thinking an old school Street Fighter 2 turbo edition will be good to level the playing field.... and then maybe Street Figther Alpha 3...... anyone a Smash Bros Melee fan for Gamecube??? i'm thinking for the VG tourneys: Robotech: Battlecry Street Fighter 2 Turbo Smash Bros Melee and then we can play any other games for fun.... Quote
KiriK Posted July 7, 2007 Author Posted July 7, 2007 sign up for the poker tournament!!! we need people to register and pay for this ASAP so we can get the prizes.... Thanks! Quote
Pat Payne Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 I'd love to get in on the karaoke contest. Karaoke ga daisuki Quote
KiriK Posted July 8, 2007 Author Posted July 8, 2007 hehe... it may just be showdown between you and Eternal D.... We may just have that as a fun event for people to show off and not make it an actual contest. I did ask Mari if she'd be interested in judging, but she never got back to me. haha.... Quote
Ishimaru Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 What are you going to have for the video game tourney? Battlecry? Quote
KiriK Posted July 8, 2007 Author Posted July 8, 2007 What are you going to have for the video game tourney? Battlecry? Battlecry will be one of the tournament games as well as Street Fighter II Turbo. Maybe a Smash Bros Melee tournament if enough people are interested. But we will probably have sign ups the day of the con. Quote
