Would it be permissible to have someone stand in and be my proxy costume contestant? What would the official rules be on something like that? Could someone enter my costume, on my behalf, and dual-box their own costume for themself without being disqualified? This is fine to do if you know someone willing to be your stand-in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I make another account and enter the same contest twice? Not suggesting for a moment that that's what was being asked, but it does leave it wide open to be abused.

Not suggesting for a moment that that's what was being asked, but it does leave it wide open to be abused. This would be in bad faith, so you can probably imagine what the answer to that is. I understand your point, but people are going to try to game any system. I'd honestly be surprised if that hasn't already been done. I'm not sure why anyone would risk anything over something as trivial as a costume contest, but there's a lot of things that people do that I don't understand. C'est la vie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaVileTerror Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 GM Sijin, I see you are being awesome again. Thanks so much! I'm very grateful for the good news you bear, and yourself. As for dual-boxing to improve one's own odds of winning; a work around for that could be a declaration of intent, such as what I've provided here. Once I have someone willing, I can post their name in this thread, and the GMs would be able to determine if they were operating in good faith (likely based on regional login information, hardware profile, and other metrics). Not that it might matter in the long run; I have someone who is potentially willing to enter on my behalf without entering their own character. I'll post once I've confirmed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbird71 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 What are the rules on the use of minions, emotes, and pet commands as part of a costume entry? Would such things be considered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaVileTerror Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Right, well, my spouse wants to leave now for pre-wedding stuffs, but my potential stand-in hasn't been online at the same time as me for a few days and I didn't get their email address for sending the costume file. So, yeah. Not an official entry, since I'm not in-game, but here's a picture. Good luck to all the contestants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacheyon Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Just out of curiosity. If I bring a Magician to be judged that is considered a "Classic" costume? Or should I just make ready my Zombie or Witch one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
