It's that time again where somebody (me) makes
another announcement to tell you to submit more information to the
Item,
Monster and
NPC Databases, although this time there's something in it for
you!
The Database Kr3w is holding a contest in which there will be some
prettyful prizes for the winners. All you need to do is submit information to any of the three Databases: Item, Monster, or NPC. The three people who submit the most information will be crowned the winners. There will be three winners per Database. For more information, see the stickies in each of the
Database Forums.
Please note, there have been a few problems with people ripping text and images from other fansites or the RuneScape database. All information you submit must be your own!

Well, as it's the x-mas hols, I imagine I might be able to do quite a few.

Neo's a busy man Hawk.
(not as busy as Sal, I'd hope)
Well, I hope this will bring in some more submissions! (after all, a lot of planning went into this!

If you actually told everyone what the prizes were, youd get more people taking part, unless its a really bad prize which I presume it is because all the higher-ranks are saying its really good
You know when they hold a competition at school and they say you get an excellent prize, you pour your heart and soul into the project and get a pencil? Yeh, Deja Vu.

Cyber prize? Oooo.
Seeing that I somewhat doubt that Sal is going to go round sending prize cheques around PayPal, it could be interesting.
I suppose I better start. Bribing is possibly the lowest Sal's has ever come to for getting those databases done, but if it's bribes they are giving, then it's bribes I am taking.

Dont try making me feel bad, Skully, I know the prizes will still be dissapointing. Your words cannot fool me!!!
EDIT: @ jacky (underneath meh) ~ I probably will, but I'm not going to back down from my point now, it'll make me look like a wanabee rebel.
Goodluck to whoever enters though =p Hawk is winning atm, you can still catch him!

You would be regretting that if it was actually a good prize.
Edit: I'm guessing maybe a Forum Member gets permission to go to the "Super Secret Forum only accessible by Mods, Admins, Retired Mods and Dms. Maybe bigger inbox space.

Yes, but we don't know if it's gonna be inbox space yet. We're like the little kids on an Easter egg hunt, waiting for the grown up admins to give us a clue and getting extremely fed up, running into the corner of the garden and treading on a creame egg.

Rewards?! I like rewards!
I probably (Well, almost for sure, what with my blog, GFX shop, RuneScape, and my RL stuff)) won't win, but I'll submit a few anyway. It'll be interesting to see what the rewards are, since I'm searching for forum related rewards to give out on my own boards anyway.

Yes, in each database, there is a point chart (stickied) for each thing you add. So yes, it will count.
