how did you get your picture to display in your post? i would like to share mine also, but i dont think i have a url thing(like when you click the insert image icon when you post) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->1 the file has to be on the net/web
try photobucket.com

2 insert the web address between img tags

like this
[img ] ht tp://ww w.piratesahoy .com/forum/style_emoticons/default/par-ty.gif [ /img]

now remove those spaces and you get this:
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/par-ty.gif" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />
 
ok i try again <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

<img src="http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p199/BlackBart06/PAlogoZ.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />

Hi!

You need to load it up on your webspace. At www.geocities.com, for example, you can get some free webspace. After uploading your pic, all you have to do is set the URL between [ I M G ] and [ / I M G ] (without the spacebars). <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Lucky

EDIT; HE HE, Rupert was faster. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Oh, and by the way, nice logo!
 
yours was a much better picture though - great character artwork. i laugh at the poor guy hugging the standing pirate - he he its good <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Great to hear that you laughed!!! That was my primary goal with that pic! (Cause i already own a copy of age of pirates.) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
Well, William, if AoP isn't quite the thing to contest for... you could open a contest for free tickets to Pirates 3! Now that's one that the entire fourm would go crazy over! Say, "Two free tickets to the first showing of Pirates 3 at any theater!" That way, they could invide a friend, and it's not just a ticket... its a free one that would enable you to see it opening night, first showing!

A cash reward is better in that case - quite a lot of us live outside the US... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> I doubt that cinemas all around the world would accept the official PiratesAhoy! voucher, and calling them all would be quite time-consuming and tiresome! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
Indeed, that dawned on me after I posted it... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mellow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":|" border="0" alt="mellow.gif" />
 
i dont know if the 'reward' offered would make me more or less likely to enter? Being rubbish in photoshop is the main factor for me, and having time to spend doing the task.
But i can see that the generous offer of a free AoP, might not have caused the flurry of activity that was hoped for - still no-one knew the game would be so poor untill recently <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

heh if your really desperate you could change my green pirate skull into a shaded tan one <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

So when do we know who the winner is? or maybe the closest to being the winner?

Good question. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
Some info would be really nice...
 
Actually I had some stuff worked up. Very unhappy with it though, so never posted it. Really wanted the extra copy of the game though(my GF wanted her own copy, still does for that matter). **grins**

Actually it seems to me, that noone will win the copy, so there's is no reason to worry about... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

shouldn't the contest be over?? :p
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Yep, since october 16th... but still nothing...
 
Urrrrr? Does this mean the contest will be extended. Or is it just over, and nothing selected?

In that case I'd vote for Lucky to be the winner. He did a really nice job on that drawing of his, even if it's not really a logo per se. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

Thanks, but i guess there are many other great logos too...
Anyway, each result would be nice because myself and some others have spend much of their freetime to work on the logos.
And in my opinion it's not fair to start such a contest, let the people do their work and than, just because you've did'nt got, what you've expected, you just stop it without a winner and/or a comment...

greets
Lucky
 
I'd say that if there is no clear-cut winner, a winner should still be selected. So nobody made a new PA! logo that can be used, but some people did indeed still put time and effort in attempting it. I think the person who did the best job should still be rewarded. Or the contest should be lengthened so new entries can still be accepted. But a contest without a prize is a bit odd. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
