With the hype of the map update as well as everyone concentrating on writing guides, the databases felt left out, and the submissions started to decrease. Soon enough, everything stopped dead in its tracks. This sudden inactivity caused a train wreck. crying.gif



Now this is where you come in. We need this train fixed and back on its wheels. Everyone needs to help in order to do this, as the Database Kr3w can't do it alone! So pick up a shovel and join the crew!



To help us, just submit whatever you can to the Databases. Whether it's a picture, something a monster drops, or examine information of an NPC, it'll be a huge help! You will be given a certain amount of points for each contribution, no matter how small or how large. Take a look here, here, or here to see how many points something is worth.

Now, of course, there will be pay, but only for those who work the hardest! This time, instead of prettyful unberbanners, there will be some hawt custom member titles to those who are in the top three submitters for each Database. There will also be another winner, but it requires a little something else other than being in the top three submitters for a database. (Hint: I suggest you submit to more than one database. wink.gif)

This contest will last for 14 days after the annoucement was posted: That is from June 24 to July 8.

To see your work hours (AKA how many points you have), head over to this handy-dandy clipboard!

So what are you waiting for? Get working!

Summary for those who don't understand construction talk:
  • We're having another Database Drive!
  • Submit whatever you can to the databases in order to gain points.
  • Look here, here, or here to see how to gain points
  • The top three people in each database will win the prize of a custom member title.
  • There will also be another winner, but in order to get that prize you need to do something a little different.
  • Look here to see how many points you have.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the following people, who will be more than glad to help:

Please do not rip text or images from other fansites or the RuneScape database. If you do so, you will be eliminated entirely from the competition, and there may possibly be worse action taken against you. All information you submit must be your own!


One of the members of the database crew forced me to post this for them...

How long they last is a secret, however you will indeed be able to choose what you want it to say.

There are 3 tutorials on how to make something transparent:
Tutorial #1 (Using Paint and Paint.net)
Tutorial #2 (Using Photoshop)
Tutorial #3 (Using GIMP)

Lol I love how I can say something and people will quote that... and someone else will quote us both... and a third person will quote the whole thing (ad infinitum or ad nauseum- whichever comes first)... my posts shall live on forever....

Now just how do I get to it? tongue.gif

Anyone want to form a sort of a team? ;D Not sure it would work well, but we could work together so we both win.

Yes! And we could even recruit others! Maybe even make a clan... and our own forums! Yeah! And we could have a thread where people submit pictures and stuff to us! This could work!

I'm being serious here. It would be something simple, preferably over AIM or MSN.

Okay, thought so. I already know what I would want mine to be (if I am chosen as one of the top three in one of the databases). tongue.gif

Just my view on this contest so far: It is going great. Many people are submitting entries in every database. One thing though, there is a group of five our six of us mainly working. Help at from anyone new would be nice. New faces are welcome. smile.gif

I agree, it does seem like just a few people are mainly working. We need some more people!

There is now a spreadsheet for the total number of points. It will not be updated as often as the other spreadsheet, however we'll try to update it at least once a day. smile.gif This new spreadsheet can be found by click "Total Points" at the top of the original spreadsheet, or by going here.

Remember, don't get discouraged because you are far behind others! There is still a lot of time left and anyone can take the lead!
Also, don't worry about the Item Database, it was way too many submissions already and we need more in the NPC and Monster Databases! aware.gif

Okay. cool.gif

If you think some NPCs that are already accepted need a better image, just PM me and I will see what I can do. So far I am just making submissions based on what NPCs I come across.

Edit: The next area I will be focusing on is the Dwarven Mines area.

Makes sense tongue.gif

I just updated the point totals, so the standings for today are correct if you want to see where you rank. I think we may have already surpassed the submissions of our first drive. biggrin.gif

Great job to heb0 and Skull for counting up all those points. ohmy.gif

Am I correct in assuming that his contest ends exactly ten days from the time this post was made?
