Guol Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 What tool would I use to convert it to MP3, every tool I use on Vista seems to want to save it as wma. Link: SUPER Great free program I use to convert between video and audio formats. In your case you would disable the video and change the audio to mp3 :) And surely it isn't a good idea to have people posting responses into the topic. Wouldn't it be fairer to simply set up an email address to submit entries to? I mean if I had any creativity and spent time making a great submission then it just wouldn't feel right if someone viewed the topic and then ripped mine off, you know?

DaveLegg Developer Posted May 20, 2008 Developer Share Posted May 20, 2008 So you want a one minute audio file, with creativity and flair, based on what I would do, if the fantasy creature commonly referred to as a 'dragon', were a real life pet? That's exactly it, in a week's time, we'll be picking the most creative entry from the bunch :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if I had any creativity and spent time making a great submission then it just wouldn't feel right if someone viewed the topic and then ripped mine off, you know? Part of the idea here is that the community suggests little tweaks, learns off eachother and has a bit of a laugh. That's why you're allowed to submit as many as you want, just telling us which final one you want to be judged on. However, if you really want to submit anonymously, PM me and I'll check it over with the staff to see if that's allowed. Haha and SkyyPunk... if there was a Digg button just for your accent, I'd digg it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon2611 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 [Continuing from the dragon-themed prize, we want you to record a short audio clip, no more than one minute in length, telling us what you'd do if you had a real life dragon at your disposal. You trying to tell me I don't exist? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if I had any creativity and spent time making a great submission then it just wouldn't feel right if someone viewed the topic and then ripped mine off, you know? I had the exact same feeling... BTW, I am mostly french/spanish speaking and my english is not 'that good'... Will the accent make any difference in the judgement ? I guess I'll send my first shot in a few mins... Edit: where is the 'attach' button ? Edited May 20, 2008 by Dogward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Veteran Posted May 20, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted May 20, 2008 On originality... Try not to worry too much about people stealing your ideas. As stated, we're judging it largely on originality, so if an entry steals ideas without adding anything new, it won't be looked upon ad favourably as the original. On English... As for English skills...largely unimportant so don't think for a second you'll be judged on accents. Apart from SkyyPunk who we're promoting to Admin here. On submitting... In the Attachments panel when you submit a post, select Browse... find your file, then select UPLOAD. Then submit your post as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Veteran Posted May 20, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted May 20, 2008 Ha I'm sitting at work laughing to myself with my headphones on. Love it guys, keep up the good work. Some inspiration: http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.html And Dogward - there's nothing in the rules that prevents you submitting an entry in any language, but the entertainment factor is likely to be lost on a predominantly English-speaking staff here if most of us can't understand it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
