2b. Drawing your favourite thing in GW1 (Weapon, Enemy, God etc.)

Awesome, I’ll be sure to participate if I may I just don’t understand why you have these great creative tasks when you’re going to distribute the prizes randomly. I’d suggest you split the prize pool, distribute 15 armbraces among three people you think have the best contributions (maybe one best contribution in each category) and then randomly give away the rest of the armbraces. I think this would encourage people to really try hard and come up with some awesome screenshots and ideas, while all still have a chance to win regardless of their creativity. I’d also like to hear whether the other competitors would support this idea or not.

2a.

Meeting new people
Getting good, reaching riches

Kind of a Big Deal

2b. Making a rap about your skill bar

3. 14,21,66

I'd say dividing them amongst best contributions and splitting randomly would be an excellent way to share out the prizes to the community. I understand this makes it a little more time consuming (selecting winners etc) but would be a more fair and motivating method.

Hope I can find some time to get online and participate in this competition!

1. No, I won't tell where it is. DO THE RESEARCH! (taken on a laptop, so rip resolution)

2a.

I suck at haikus

I need something from Guild Wars

Shiro Tagachi

2b. Some serious lore trivia with actually interesting and in-depth questions, instead of asking about very simple things, like what is the name of the tengu that aids Togo in "Tengu Accords". Questions going deep, that require actual knowlege of the lore instead of plain information given to us during a campaign playthrough and fast writing skills. You are probably going to ask about an example, so for instance: What was the first (named) building created by humans? or To whom belonged the ships that are now scattered around the Crystal Desert?

Contest Idea

How about you have to defeat a challenge without using any of the skills you find on the pvx wiki (applies to heroes as well). E.g. hard mode Shiro, probably best to require a video of the run.
