O.o but it does. Unless you're talking about those kits that come when stencils...but I'm not sure how well those works, or if any one would even like it. (That and I've NEVER carved a pumpkin, I can only imagine my sending you a bad pumpkin carving picture @.@)
I do like the fact that there's an event going on though XD So I'm definitely not trying to put down your being nice enough to create one.
lol, just google pictures of cool jack-o'-lanterns then scratch it on with a sharp object and get a knife and cut away. Should be easy!
It's basically like tracing a cool picture. Anyone can do it. I mean the easiest one ever is like triangle eyes and some jagged triangular teeth. Super easyyy!
And to get the stuff out, you just cut around the top in a circle then take it off, then pull the stuff out with your hand (you're supposed to do this part first lol.)
And the way you make it glow is, once you're done you just put a little candle in there and put the lid back on.
:awesome:

Hm...Depending on how much a pumpkin and a carving kit would cost I might try...

Oh come on girl. I had a knife even when I was living in a normal dorm. Everyone should always have at LEAST:
1. Butter knife (don't tell me you spread with a spoon or something)
2. Steak knife (**** yes)
3. Swiss army knife (utility!)
4. Razor knife (crafting, utility)
I mean, you could technically do it with these.

Human beings eat. You can't seriously expect me to believe you don't often enough to not have silverware.
Not having silverware would mean you're eating at a cafeteria. Which is rather... spendy.
Can't really say "I don't have money for a pumpkin or knives" because technically you're getting more food for cheaper if you buy the pumpkin and the knife and eat the contents than the costs of going to a cafeteria for food.

Not you I suppose. I see dozens on the way to class every day.

I'm on a meal plan, so I was given $250 for this semester. I'm not charging my bank, it's financial aid. So yeah, it's still pricey and you seem to think that my dorm has a fridge big enough to actually put food into it. It barely fits milk in it. My dorm halls oven and stove has been broken so I can't use that. TV dinners? Still don't require actual silverware and definitely not enough space for my than two of those. I use plastic silverware, Kitae, like I said before.
So yeah, I can say I don't have money for a knife or a pumpkin, because I really honestly don't. The money I am going to be spending to get both, is all that I'll be able to spend until December and that's to see if maybe carving the damn thing will make me feel less like I want to slit my wrists. I'm beyond stressed, and I really shouldn't have to debate with you on what I can and can't afford.
You could possibly cut a pumpkin with a plastic knife... not sure...

Me too, it involves a cat, and pasting an image from another website. Something related to Mabinogi and Vindictus.

I haven't done pumpkin carving since... when I was 6. Such a long time ago.
I found out making lines of holes on the pumpkin works well when you need to carve a design into its "face". Use a giant pin to do so.

It'd be nice if a new poll was just made. Hopefully if that happened everyone could be mature about it.
Like I said before, it doesn't matter WHO wins. It's all fun. It's not serious. It's a forum contest.
I could have told Kitae "Oh but the others actually put thought into it and didn't just post some picture (don't get me wrong, I liked your entry)" but I didn't, he won and that was that.

this
seriously
don't let the event end that way
make a new poll with one option TA'S and the other Skye's
I think you guys are blowing my comment way out of proportion... :what:
I think you're taking it to be some sort of blood thirsty smear, when in reality it was just an unfortunately misunderstood set of replies explaining why I personally wouldn't choose Skye as a winner in that competition. Personally, minus myself, I probably would have went with... Zid, Navy, Schezo, Medusa, Nanachi, BobYoMeowMeow, or Kingofrunes. Zid or Navy... those would be my top picks I think. Anyways, totally unimportant. That's just my personal opinion.
You guys are going to have to be patient while we decide what to do with it at this point. There's a few options at this point, that I see...
- Call the whole av/sig contest off completely.
- If it can be discerned where all the poll manipulation came from, remove those votes, and either just end it right then and there or extend the voting for however many hours. (Hiccup voted for Skye 4 times that we know of. Not sure of anything else until an Admin can check it.)
- Remove Skye and myself and repost the vote.
- Disqualify Skye and myself and award 3rd place the spot of winner - Nanachi.
- Trim it down to 5-10 and repost it.
- Have an internal staff vote to decide who wins.
Those are the only options I can think of right now, but I'm tired. There may be other options I'm not thinking of. In the end, it's going to be up to our Admins.
Just be patient. We'll let you know what's going on when we're sure of it ourselves.
You could also have a runner-up (or full, even) prize for Nanachi, while including yourself and Skye.

why not just have a poll with just you and skye?
think of it like a finale since one of you were already going to win, there was no one even close to either of you

But then what happens if BS multi-voting happens again?

We just discount votes from people who multi-vote and give them a warning/ban.
It is a violation of common etiquette, you know?

Why would people cheat on something like this... it's absurd lol
What's done is done, and it was dealt with. I don't think it needs to be brought up anymore.
