I should have known this would happen - looks like the contest is doomed unless we make some adjustments, especially to the 'strict' rules and scoring, so that we can encourage more Fox players to participate. After looking at the posts in this thread and thinking about it, I've completely altered the rules so that they are more lenient. What does everybody think about this? Read the new rules carefully and thoroughly before commenting:
------- RULES --------
- A short video under 3 minutes is to be submitted that demonstrates your tech skill and creativity with Fox (just showoff as much as you can).
- Your videos can be edited with music, a title screen, etc. to make it look attractive, but the gameplay footage MUST contain the game's SOUND effects, so we know you didn't just use AR.
- Instead of having judges, your video will be one of the choices in a POLL - the poll thread will be password-protected so that only those who have SEEN the contest vids will be able to vote. The participants will include this SET password at the very end of their video for the viewers. After the poll goes on for some time, the winner will be the participant who's video got the highest vote percentage. If you win, you'll be awarded the 'SPECIAL PRIZE', whatever that is - or you can just feel proud that you won the contest.
- If you break the second rule about including sound effects, we can't just not include your video, so instead, a penalty will be given. Let's say - 5 percent will be deducted from your final score.

There you have it, the new and improved rules. What do you think? Will it work?
