Sorry, but aren't rules 1 and 5 mutually exclusive? In other words, 5=~1?

what i meant was not to copy other songs on the internet, but you can use Minecraft/WOG other themes. Don't copy songs of the internet. you can use videogame themes. EX:

I'll donate my Humble Indie Bundle download link. Tongue The only difference with that and buying a new one is the steam key was already used. That good?

That's an excellent prize!!!!! Thanks!!! Smile Laughing out loud Big smile

No, that's not good. It's stealing, actually, since the download page is only ever meant to be used by one person, steam key or no.

Joined: 02/20/2011

oh. Sad sorry red, we can't use that.
anybody have an idea? maybe just a pat on the back?
we could have an announcement on the front page for the winner, and some one good at goo levels can make the winner a level just for them.

Alternatively, we could just buy a new HIB4 for them.

I think that most people on this site that are interested in HIB4 already have it, though.

Joined: 02/20/2011

maybe the winner can not only gloat about it but every one has to write a song about them.

I'm out of personal cash at the moment, I'm afraid. And like MOM said, most people probably already bought the bundle.

Joined: 12/23/2010

I HAVEN'T!!!!

Only because I can't though, internet cash and all that jazz. I would be prepared to bust my butt making a song if it would get me HIB4.

By the way, suppose I got the bundle, right? When you redeem it on Steam, is that per-game? Or do you just do the whole bundle?

Joined: 07/08/2011

It gives you one key for all the games in the bundle, and if you've paid over the average, you get another key for the extra games.

Joined: 08/06/2010

If you pay over the average, you get more?

That's one of the coolest marketing ideas I have seen. It should make the average price be constantly rising, as more and more people try to beat it. Smile

It does.

it was 5.31 when i got it.
good thing those thousand dollar donations doesn't effect the average much.

Joined: 12/23/2010

Well, are we gonna do this thing then? And if we are, will the HIB be an above-the-average version?

Hmm, OK. See, I would be cool with all of them on my Steam account, but my sibling wanted SMB on theirs, so that they've got full Steam privileges. Assuming, of course, I get it at all.

Super Mario Brothers?

Yeah, I know, Super Mario Brothers? Or SMB sharing? Or what?

If I get any money for Christmas, I might be able to buy a key. Depending on where the average is at that time, I might pay above it.

Joined: 12/23/2010

SMB = Super Meat Boy. Duh.

Sweet, thanks Red! But I don't want to make a song without competition, would anyone else participate?

Joined: 07/08/2011

I would, most likely. I already have a key, so if I win, I'll just save myself a few bucks. Tongue The judges could be replies on the thread. One vote per person, you can't vote for your own.

Joined: 02/20/2011

good idea. since there are only a few regulars on Goofans, my idea of three judges would make it have little competition.
another good idea: how about we give the winner the money for the next Bundle?

Joined: 07/08/2011

If the user already has this bundle, it's a promise for the next one. Above the average? I think that would be best.

Joined: 12/23/2010

OK, sweet.

When's the deadline then?

Joined: 07/08/2011

Check the other thread.

two weeks after january!! in the mean time, i will write a bunch of songs (not for contest).

-_-

Joined: 12/23/2010

Wait... what? Is the contest in the other thread about making music or level creation?

Joined: 02/20/2011

you create a song with lyrics. It is your option to put the song in a goomod.

Joined: 07/08/2011

Wait, it has to have lyrics? This is gonna be hard.

Joined: 12/23/2010

Lyrics = me not participating. Even for HIB4. Can't do it.
