Swish's 20k "not classic" GIFaway...
 

Hey frends! With Velious soon upon us I bet there's some players both old and new who are struggling for those TunnelQuest tokens.

...and while economic doom might be upon us, I'm hoping a plat injection might help out some players who wish to participate in a fun competition.

So what exactly is this all about?

I want you to scour the internet for the best gifs you can find (gifv's and webm's are fine too), and if possible stick a "NOT CLASSIC" caption on them.

3 prizes are available for 1st/2nd/3rd place... I'll be picking the winners.

1st Prize = 12k plat (or 4k red)
2nd Prize = 5k plat (or 1.7k red)
3rd Prize = 3k plat (or 1k red)

- Be sure to leave an in game character name when you post for ease of finding you to do the transfer. Don't use mule names if possible.

- Limit of 1 entry per forum account (there's no way I can police people using separate accounts :))

Examples of previous gifs used (if you need some inspiration):-

- Everyone is welcome to participate.

- If you're crap at the internet and don't feel you can caption one that you've found, post a link to it and say what you'd put and where (if its not obvious). There's every chance an uncaptioned gif can win if the theme is right.

- If the winning gifs aren't captioned, I'll caption them. :)

The winners will be announced on the 1st of August, 2015 at 7pm EST (midnight locally to me).

Disclaimer: My favorites might not be everyone else's favorites. No RMT'd plat is involved in this gifaway. There is absolutely no GM or developer affiliation - you can't petition if you feel robbed of a prize :D If I can't decide, I may put up a 24 hour poll after it closes and let the community pick one or all of the prizes. Backhanders not accepted. This is likely to be drawn before the AON/COF giveaway but you can enter both.

Where to find gifs, and how to caption them....

Struggling to find gifs on the internet? Here's a few starting places...

www.gifbin.com
www.giphy.com
www.gfycat.com
www.replygif.net
www.senorgif.com
www.imgur.com (mostly pictures but some gifs there)

Dig deep!

Also there's obviously Google as well as Reddit, Funnyjunk, and other sites that recycle gifs.


Swish, I've found a gif - it's perfect! I just need to caption it!

If you're on a crappy PC this might slow everything down, but a good place to use is www.memecenter.com

1. Go to gifmaker
2. Create an animated gif
3. Use an existing gif

..and go from there! Once done, download your gif, then upload it to the internet and stick it in {img} tags in a comment.

If you need somewhere to upload to: http://www.imageupload.co.uk/ offers hosting for up to 5mb sized gifs - should be plenty :)

All hail Swish. You are def. one of the main reasons I visit this forum daily. Not many things make me happier than a goat jacking some people up!

Thanks Jitsumo :)

This is an ideal thing for people who are stuck at work, or camping Mob_X and need something to do to occupy the time between spawns. Game on!

Let's gif this man a round of applause for his hospitality. ^^

You have to make this as epic as Diggles AoN thread!

Swish if anyone can do it you can.

Well I'll be the first to post a gif, hopefully everyone likes this, extra cash is always awesome! Thanks for putting this on Swish, always love your gifs! This is my first time ever making a gif so I hope you like it! Character name: Halius (Blue)
