A few weeks ago, to help celebrate GOG's RPG week and the launch of GWENT, we held a competition where you could MS Paint your way to a copy of Tyranny or Pillars of Eternity.

In usual Codex fashion, the competition turned into a horrible disaster with most entries being crappy in-jokes.

After discussion, the judges agreed that there were only 2 worthy entries, and that those 2 entrants would receive a copy of both Tyranny and PoE as a prize.

Our first winner is Explorerbc who was hilariously on point with his entry:


Our second winner is Nekot-The-Brave who unlike everyone else, actually bothered to put in some effort:



In recognition of that effort, Nekot not only wins a copy of Tyranny and PoE, but also a third game of his choice, courtesy of the guys at GOG.

Thanks to our two winners. The rest of you suck and can go die in a hole.

fuck you

EDIT:
also Explorerbc used my art in his art without my permission, see you in court

Congrats, Nekot, a well deserved winner. Also the other guy.

Now that hard work and effort on behalf of the Codex has proven to produce rewards I predict the next competition to be a glorious technicolour rainbow of genius that would make Michaelangelo take up bricklaying. Looking forward to it.

Were they the only 2 people who participated?

congratulations to our esteemed winners; may they carry their swag with consumate pride and masturbate frequently

My diligent efforts were not rewarded with a key I had no use for. That's the last time I waste effort on a Kodex Kontest, time to check out those sweet competitions I hear the Watch put on

Explorersbcs pic is fucking hilarious.

And Nekots pic is very skillful. It gets even better considering that he is a wealthy dude who can buy whatever game he pleases so he went through all the effort of making that in mspaint just for the fun of it. Thats bredy gud!

I am fine with this.

What the fuck is CD Projekt's logo? It looks like a shounen anime protagonist who also happens to be a bird.

Hat off to the judges, hopefully their sanity remained intact. Enjoy your fair price Nekot-The-Brave bro!
10/10 great event would compete again

 

[Kev Inkline]

Well, you all have still my avatars available for your joy and enjoyment, if only Crooked Bee would get around implementing them.

Also, if done on Paint, how an earth this entry by Lagole Gon didn't warrant a prize? I mean tastes may vary, but the skill and effort surely is there.

I already have the ultimate balance game. So one Tranny for me plox.

 

[MicoSelva]

Congratulations to the winners!

 

[Lagole Gon]

WTF. I want my shitty game I won't ever play.
Also, that newfag/alt Cudgel made me lol:

Go choke on your Mensa t-shirt DU.

 

[The Fish]

This is a disgrace, I demand a recount.

 

[Parsifarka]

Explorerbc work is top quality, meeting all Codex standards within good taste, but although technically Nekot-The-Brave picture is good I really fail to see the virtue of its content. Am I missing something? There were some worthy entries formally acceptable and with a richer message.

To help celebrate / shamelessly promote themselves, GOG are offering us 5 copies of Tyranny and 5 copies of Pillars of Eternity. If you'd like to score yourself a copy of either game (and you would, wouldn't you), simply make something in MS Paint that:

• Expresses your joy of The Witcher.
• Shows how much you love Pillars of Eternity.
• Somehow involves Tyranny.
• Celebrates your love of RPGs.
• Depicts the day Cleve actually releases Grimoire.

Fuck you DU, seriously fuck you! You can read the original rules up there. Did we enter with shitty paint drawings? Sure, but what did you expect? And just for the record the first winner is neither more complex, nor better than the other entries. And guess what, it is not even connected to the theme of the competition, it is not about those five points you listed above. Roffles. And some of the entries were genuinly good drawings, but they are disqualified because it is about a stupid injoke? Fuck you!

Next time when you make a competition, follow through it and don't decide to change the rules afterwards.

And oh, what about the other 8 keys you were given? Because you wrote that you got 5 for Tyranny and 5 for PoE.

There, let the butthurt ratings flow.

 

[Don Peste]

DarkUnderlord You have some nerve thinking you can change the rules just like that.

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

Who would have thought that a competition with a category like "Depicts the day Cleve actually releases Grimoire" would generate so many "crappy in-jokes" in response? Bad Codexers!

This is an outrage!

 

[Bumvelcrow]

Did anyone actually take this competition seriously? Do newfags expect this kind of thing to end in anything other than LOLs and butthurt?

Some people say it's a Cockatrice.
But no... it's a budgie with its brains being blown out.

I don't think it was taken seriously, hence the lot of shitty entries. It was however expected that DU would follow the rules and choose the 10 winners.

Just give them all to Nekot-The-Brave and he can distribute them as he sees fit. If this really was paid for by GoG do you really think they'd want winning entries celebrating faeces, heresy, and various types of unnatural activities - i.e. all the things that the Codex is rightly celebrated for? If it was paid for out of DU's pocket then fair enough, but that's not the case.

Edit: Don't you acknowledge my agenda you little prick!

 

[Lagole Gon]

DU, you wouldn't know a good art piece even if someone shoved it up your vegemite valley!
