This is just a note from some issues we had last CC: Costume manipulation wont be considered legitimate in costume contests. Any costume manipulation will be disqualified. It is an issue that will be fixed and isn't allowed on HC.

 

Also please note that costume contest judging is subjective and everyone's tastes are different. Please be kind to our GM's who volunteer their time to keep these servers running as smooth as possible. If you have any issues, please contact me here or on discord! 

On that note: I want to announce something super fun we are going to do going forward. Once the CC is over and the winners post has been made here on the forums - some of our GM's are going to submit costumes anonymously for YOU to vote on (they will be attached to the winners post in announcements)! The winning GM will reign supreme along with the overall winner for the month. Can't wait to see what everyone can come up with!

Whew.  For a second I thought Fashion Victim badge was going to be unique and only available through costume contests and was about to rant.  Nothing to see here.  Carry on.

Interesting flair on the CC idea with the judging the judges idea. Keep up that fire HC volunteers!

A costume contest anyone can join without having to be a certain origin sounds good to me! So I just have to make a silly or funny costume I guess?

For the origin contest you don't need to be that particular origin. And yes, just silly and fun 😄

Well that's good to know!

When joining one of these things, in the event of winning something, is there an option to opt out of the permanent title? I'd like to participate, but the idea of having a sentence floating over your head all the time is kind of a deal breaker.

I'm pretty sure you're able to opt out of whatever you want to, no way they would force anything on you. Not to put words in anyone's mouth, but from previous experience, GM Miss is usually in charge of giving out the rewards and is very much willing to work with you.

What @Hopestar said! I have had people opt out of the title and the merits after winning. I meet all the winners one on one and I let them know the title is permanent - some people don't want it on a main character so they opt for it on an alt. At the end of the day its all in good fun and I will always work with you. 😄
