The HCU is Offering a $50 Prize to Anyone Who Wins it GS's Border Design Contest

Hey everybody, I'm leader of The HeadCrab Union. Just a note, if this thread is against the rules here, I'm sorry and you can just lock it. Hopefully it's not and everybody here can take advantage of my offer.

First of all, I searched through three pages of image design unions and this is the ONLY ONE that is still active. Even the top level unions are dead, so congratulations! I'd actually like to know here if you could tell me what exactly you're doing to keep the union so active. I was very surprised to see this, especially since most unions on GameSpot are now dead.

Anyway, the point of my post here is to tell you about The HeadCrab Union's offer. GameSpot is holding an image design contest and The HeadCrab Union, which has recently reactivated after a three year hiatus, would like to win it. Winning this contest would help to jumpstart our union again after our long hiatus, because we'd be advertised in GameSpot's Community Blog. So to help with this, I'm offering a $50 prize to anyone who wins this contest on the HCU's behalf. All the contest details are located here. You must put your submissions in that thread also. If there are any questions, please let me know, thanks!

And again, what exactly are you doing to keep your union's activity so high where everyone else fails?

Do you do a lot of contests here? I know that usually gets people active.Sentinelrv

We have SoTW and we've had tournaments in the past and we have the battle thread, so there is quite a bit of competition.Mr_Jenkins

I appreciate your turning it into a contest, and you paying someone if they win is pretty generous, but isn't that kind of stealing the thunder of our union, if someone from this union wins I'm sure they'd appreciate Mass Designers Lounge getting featured for the first time, rather than the HCU. Even if it is a legendary union.

I might try to enter this competition but I'd need to redownload PS. I'd be entering for a different union probably. That's irrelevant anyway because it's not like I'm going to win lol.

Sure, I can understand what you're saying there. That does make sense. You're all welcome to support your own union if you wish. I guess what I could do however is if the winning submission comes from your union, I'll stick up an article about it on our front page giving you guys props for it.

Look dahui this really isn't about money or whoever kicks most butt  this is about  friendly competition this is more about what i've been trying to get the MDL in since I used to be leader , we now have opportunities open to the gamespot community and we should grab them , maybe it'll bring us some new fresh blood to train , maybe it'll put us even more on top who knows :P

You must have misunderstood me if you think that I think it's about money, I specifically stated I'd choose another union over giving it away for money.

I'd do it for the money.

But I don't think I'd make anything worthy of winning, so meh :P

There really isn't any friendly competition.:P  Whenever someone has to be the best, there is always that mean competition you get, and if there was friendly competition, its not a competition.:|

Yes I know this post was just as confusing as my meme post.
