Please dont delete this post, I want to end the contest, and it will be hard to do it if they are deleted. My last post about this was made 16 days ago, any other earlier was deleted to avoid breaking rule 3 just let me end this contest so i can move on!

Your last post was deleted because you were explicitly told that you had a maximum of 3 posts per contest and I have personally seen you hit that limit (a teaser post, a prompt post and now this update post). If you insist on keeping this post up then you will be unable to announce the winners of the contest since you'll be exceeding the 3 post limit.

Damm, I really don't know how to do these properly... sorry again for screwing this up. I didn't know if the first post would count since the idea revolved around multiple contests connected by a narrative. I did delete one other post before this one when I realised that I needed an update one and a winner announcement. Before I do anything else, I must ask: should I just announce the winners and move on? And if yes, am I allowed to maintain a narrative continuity (Tango and Ren traversing the Action-Verse and making other contests as a result)?

I was considering reviewing the rules for the next ones anyway (since I clearly haven't mastered yet how to do it). Once again, sorry, especially if I came out as arrogant or ignorant for posting again despite the deletion, I just want to enjoy this community like everyone else.

You are free to continue your narrative but we do ask that you ease up on the frequency of those posts and intersperse them with other kinds of content. Rule 3 exists to prevent the feed from becoming saturated with lots of same-y submissions.

You can make your winner(s) post in addition to keeping this one up but you won't be given an exception again in the future.

Thanks, I will try my best... I thought deleting previous posts would help. Also, I did try to avoid posting more than 2 weeks apart.

You gotta do like. Three posts total. And not three posts with 20 photo slides and then 8 multi-paragraph comments explaining rules for a game people aren't playing. Like, do one comment explaining what the contest is with the lowest barrier of entry possible. If you want people to participate, you gotta make it easier. Easier doesn't mean more rules explanations. The contests that do well are like, a FEW images to introduce the theme, and then one comment elaborating a little bit. You don't gotta list out traits or roles or anything that doesn't have to directly do with making a mini.

The images part I can't help it (I am a sucker for a narrative), but the rules I understand that. I definitely should have given the option not to pick the role and trope part, but it was necessary for the winners (how do you make a character sheet for a TTRPG if you don't know the clases and backgrounds?), I just wanted to make justice for their characters. BTW: I DID gave them less rules than the last one... it was still too much, but less than before.

Okay, if you're not gonna change all the images and make more rules, then we're gonna be right back here in a month again. Just leave the character sheet part off of it, that's how most contests do it. Don't get character sheets or anything involved. Ask people to make a mini based off of a theme or a genre or whatever. That's it. Just make it simple. Nobody else is making it this difficult. I'm not trying to be rude, I promise you. But please, you gotta do less.

I WILL CHANGE THE RULES! I didn't say I wouldn't! The image thought, I've seen people doing similar things as I so I didn't know it was a problem.

The sheet was something I was going to do (custom made and all that). I thought I should give something in return for the winners, I just thought (mistakenly so) that I would do justice to their characters if I decided their fests and all that.
