Quick question.... can we chose to render our own submissions if they received full marks?

[Cashew]

Quick question.... can we chose to render our own submissions if they received full marks?

What you need to do is find a card designed by a contestant in this contest which scored a 25.

1) Are you a contestant? Yes.
2) Did you score a 25? Yes.

Then you meet the criteria imo. Tynion may unjustly recuse this later :P

[Tynion]

HA! Look at Cashew jumping two feet into everything and getting things going! Good job there salty.

@ FP: What he said :) I should change it just to be 'unjustly', but that doesn't make sense and is totally out of character for me. I like being justly.

[final_press]

Only 5 submissions for the bonus round? C'mon people... :(

:bump:

[Your Worst Nightmare]

Question: If a card's wording is off, can I correct it when I render the card? Or am I stuck with whatever the person wrote in the submission?

EDIT: Nevermind, found one without that problem.

[final_press]

Really like the art you chose YWN... think you could be on to a winner there.

[Relentless Poker]

Cool I see my card there!! :D

I dont know how to make a card in image, so I can't join this too. :(

[final_press]

If you don't have MSE or any other rendering software, Poker, then send me a link to the art you'd like to use (and tell me which card it's for) and I'll render one for you.

[Tynion]

Feel free to correct it YWN. Bonus round after all :P

[Cashew]

TFP and YWN both have amazing arts. I looked for at least an hour on mine before finding one I found merely suitable. After a day or so I began to like it more, but whatever!

[final_press]

Is it too late to change my submission? I didn't see any time-frames on this one. :confused:

[Tynion]

changes needed to be done by last night. Sorry.

[final_press]

Aaww man! :( When it comes to judging... humour me and say you liked the first submission better :P
