Alright. We've gone from VE Spirit contest to this. I've created a criteria, and now all I need is authority to back it up.
1) You may design any Ground Military Attack Unit. This can go from Cannons to small attack vehicles. Be creative. If we get alot of designes we may decide to designate them into categories ranging from cannons to small attack vehicles.
2) You may not alter past craft, units, or weapons. You have to create your own. Feel free to use past styles though. (ie. TIE Blah Blah...)
3) And you may submit three, count 'em, three designes. I count on having atleast 15 people particapate. Big number to some of you... But I count on it. I myself will participate in any way I can.
____________________________________________________
Dates: If I have proper backup authority... I hope some one to get the contest in the news by Wednesday. Then have the start of the contest this Friday or Saturday.
If need be... I can create a small website at freewebs.com, or another admin, for the contest. Giving news about the contest, and entry information as well. Credits... You get the idea.
Let's make this work... Looks like a great contest. Hope to get alot of entries.
*Note to admins... I need two or three volenteer judges. And donations for the award will be highly appreciated. Post your info here.

allrighty!
here's my design....#1
THE RANCOR:
14m tall aussualt suit, huminoid shape
un-armed except for shoulder mounted blaster cannons for anti-air, this leaves hands open for desruction...BWAHAHA..
downsides are: would require complex software to operate
cost
upsides: the use of a huminoid shape allows the operator to trip walkers, tip over light tanks or bust up the outside components of large tanks (ripping off antenas and gun barrels). or maybe even step on them and crunchitize them.
creates mass havoc, distress, fear, panic, etc. in enemy troops
instead of killing enemy troops one-by-one, why not squash several each step while on the run?
very mobile
instead of having operator have to under go training on how to steer, apply thrust, operate weapons, etc. , why not give them something that only needs the skills they already have: walking, running, punching, kicking, grabing, lifting, and all that stuff we already do.
thinking of adding an under hand plasma or laser cutting torch for those hard to crack vehicles, just press the button and melt
diagram soon to follow as soon as i can get scanner set up
specs:
speed- 80 km/h
weapons- 2 shoulder mounted blaster cannons
hull- 120 DR 10
sizes- 14m tall, 4m wide and long
def.- 14 (-4 size, +8 armor)
crew- 1
cargo- 100kg
special- requires ranged touch attack
topple walker
flip and speeder the sme size or smaller than trade fed. tank
disable external device

I'll donate 400K to this contest.
If you are looking for some web space for this, let me know and I can set something up on the VE network.
Also, if you are in need of judges, I can be a judge as well. ----------------------- Grand Moff Kadann, Dark Lord

Cool. So that would be myself, Kadann, and I know Peacemaker and Cosmic have been nominated by people but I don't know if they are onboard (probably, but its nice to ask). So, Shazam, looks like you've got a go-ahead on this from the big boss.
I'll also put up either the first design of the winning model(s) or an equivalent amount of goods from Imperial Center (in case it is too much military equipment for one person).
Also, going back to something Shazam and I had spoken of, some type of diagram would be nice as well. ----------------------- PRF/GEN Fury/VEA/TADATH/VE [SCP][PoC][SotE:HC][SotE:VEA][IOC]

Alright. I have the website operational. It is http://www.freewebs.com/vemilcontest . I don't know if that came up as a link or not... Oh well. Anyways, go on ahead and explore it as you wish.
I have a problem creating the actual Archive page. That is where you judges will post your scores for thier works. I kind of wanted to use the same scheme as the VE gallery. You know how you click on a picture and then it'll have your scores and compliments.
Also, I decided to let people make banners. Top banner creator will recieve 30k. Top Design winner will be rewarded with 100k. Second will be 70k. And third will be 50k. And 150k will be spread out to all those who participate. Everyone will probably receive somewhere between 5-15k as long as they particapate with a reasonable banner or design. Thankyou, and good luck guys. I hope to start the contest late Friday early Saturday.
Admins, please try to get this contest in the news for those of us who do not read the comnet. Thankyou.
Oh... And I was also wondering if I could pull the picture off of the Main Website when you first come in as the logo. You know the nice VE picture. That and I really need to fill in that logo space...
Later,
-FMJR

Both... You give us kind of a rough picture of what your describing. Your basically just telling, and showing. Then your scored on your creativity to sum it up. Ta-da... You have you final scores. ----------------------- *Flash Was Here...*

For the banners, if you are planning on using these banners for Banner Exchanges, I suggest that you keep them within normal dimensions.
The full-sized banner is 468x60 pixels. ----------------------- Cleric "Cosmic" Vor'soth

You are looking for just traditional group units or does the contest include attack units like that of the V-Wing or LAAT where they fly around but are used for air-to-ground operations. I have a fighter-type vehicle that ended up with LucasFilm (although it was a rejected concept early on  ). I just want full clarification. ----------------------- Lance Corporal Zeks Kavilcon

Cooorectamundo... Also... The website is now FULLY operational. You sign up there... Then it will send you to the "send-in" page. Unfortunetly and I can't figure out a way for it to give you an upload button... So everyone has to send the picture and the info to me... Then I post it in the gallery and the judges score it.
And I NEED... ha... An admin to post this in the news. I wanted it in the news by wednesday, and that's tomarrow... Anyways, heres the information that must be addressed. Competition starts Friday, and goes till two week from then. Then the competition is over, and the rewards are handed out to the winners and those who participated. They can find out much much more about this, including the criteria and how to sign up, from the website at freewebs.com/vemilcontest .
Thankyou,
-FMJR

Alrigty... I've got one from mars, myself, and I await a pic from Blah because he's only given me schematics. That's only three draw in guys... Fury, Kad, Cos, if you would... Please visit the site and the gallery, give a rating and post it here.
I'm looking for someone to atleast send in a banner... But no such luck. Don't let me down guys!
