Sorry, it's the best I could come up with

Made me smile! But, then, that would make Pathfinders...

No, no, I don't want to think about it

Newborn cutie fanfiction?

Wait, so it isn't a D&D reference? Or is everyone else making jokes as if it wasn't?

[Jill]

I don't even know.

[Luneshot]

Behold a terrible submission that's only slightly pony related.

[West Filly]

I intentionally made it very interpretative. I did intend the whole reference to the 5e playtest recruitment thing that's been going on though.

[Vivianinatoga]

I made a new entry and edited into my first post. Use that one instead.

[Frosthawk]

Oh hey, the boards are back. That means I can now post this piece of .

[Frosthawk]

Edit: Somehow got double posted, I swear I clicked the thing once.

[The Ghost of Ember]

Is this late or not? I don't know!

Posting it anyways

[Big Boss]

You have until the end of day today to post entries.

[Marcturus]

I am going to replace my first entry with this.


Why yes I am a one trick pony.

Here's my submission.

This was kinda fun to do. Just ignore the shit coloring.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm like Don Draper if he stopped wearing a business suit, grew his hair out and had a really crappy goatee. Also, I'm not advertising savvy... or really any of the qualities that make Don Draper who he is.

But, I drink whiskey on the rocks and I watch My Little Pony, so chicks should dig me.

I cry during movies and have to call it quits after two drinks. You don't stand a chance.
On-topic: It seems the deadline has ended as of 52 minutes ago. That or thereabouts.

This one wins the contest of my heart.

[Big Boss]

Octavia
In West Fillydelphia
Marcturus
Mechanical Ape

PM me with the tag of your choice and you shall be duly rewarded!

[VaultAggie]

Congrats to the winners! That was a funny contest and they were all pretty good.

[Octavia]

Congrats Dead Pony!

[Dead Pony]

Neat. Thanks, brahs and brah-ettes.

Grats to the runner-ups, but everyone's shit was equally awesome and cool. Of course, I did this and completely forgot about it. And, it wasn't until I won that realized a couple of errors that will never be corrected since I already threw out the project.

Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwelp!

[Marcturus]

This contest was a lot of fun and all of the entries were good, just what I've come to expect from this forum

Congrats again Dead Pony!

[Mechanical Ape]

Congratulations to Dead Pony and all the other winners!

Now that the deadline is passed, it's okay to post this, my backup idea:


The next panel would be five minutes of awkward silences.

[Tzar469]

Congrats to everyone who won! Request a tag that we don't have yet!

[Dead Pony]

OBLIGATORY

[Willsun]

I see a triple rainbow! Awwwww yeah.

See everyone? You too can win fabulous contest prizes if you just tried! I don't like seeing people posting their entries with defeatist attitudes like "Well here's my piece of crap, sheesh I don't even have a chance" because that makes the whole thing un-fun for everyone. Instead of seeing it as a modest comment that you're not trying to be snobby or overshadow other peoples' entries, I usually see it as a passive-aggressive way to gain sympathy, fish for compliments, and trying to guilt others into not trying as hard.

If I see it in any other contest I hold or give presents for in the future, I'll probably start disqualifying people or hoarding all the friggin' ponies for myself. Be proud of yourselves for gosh sake!

[Pineapple]

Willsun's ponified boxes are practically a prize in themselves.

Hey! Some of us legitimately lack self-esteem.

I'm pretty sure it's never intended that way.

[Big Boss]

The point is don't do it.

[Willsun]

I'm not asking for everyone to fake being happy or optimistic, but I want to cut the negativity out. I've seen those comments too much and they come across to me as entries that are not serious. I want good entries. If you truly think your own work sucks, go back and make it better or not enter it with a caption stating how much you dislike it. I'm not asking for much and if you're making me believe your entries are truly lacking, then why do I want to keep putting out free gifts that I buy and ship with my own time and money for a bunch of lackadaisical work?

[numsOic]

Then don't.

[Big Boss]

Nums, can it.

The contests are put forward for fun and goodwill. I see Willsun's point and it should remind you of an old mom-friendly phrase - if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Being down-and-out about your work doesn't help you. Be confident and put your best work forward for your best chance to win.
