Is it time for a Halloween costume contest? You bet it is!

Written by megadestructo / October 19, 2012 10:00 am / 369 Comments

You guys know the drill! Show me your best costume and the winner will receive 10,000 GVs! Not only that but 10 runner-ups will receive 5,000 GVs each! You don’t have to make it Halloween themed either; just be as creative as you’d like.

To enter, just make a comment with “This is my entry.”

The contest will end on Friday, October 26th with the winners revealed on Halloween. Good luck everyone!

But wait, there’s more…

Fall is on its way, the kids are back in school, and it’s time for another avatar contest!

It’s time to brush up on your avatar creations and twist those costumes into something perfect for the Fall season! Our winner will receive 10,000 GVs while 10 additional Runners-Ups will get 5,000 GVs. And, yes, I will be much more prudent about picking winners and letting everyone know!

So, let’s see what you’ve got? The cut-off date for entries will be next Wednesday (9/12) at 5:00pm EST so you’ve got some time to get all creative up in here. Just make a comment below with “This is my entry!” and I’ll count it. Only one entry per person so if you decide to switch things around, make sure you mention which one you’d like to use in your post.

Good luck everyone!

And the cat’s just there because I love that picture. :)

Summer Vacation Comments Winners!

Written by megadestructo / August 21, 2012 10:09 am / 31 Comments

On last Friday’s “Post Anything,” I created a small contest to go along with the usual conversations: I asked people to post about their dream vacations and I would pick five random entries and award their authors 10,000 GVs. Not a bad deal! Additionally, I would also post their entries here so you could all read them and maybe it would help inspire your next vacation! Or not. Either way, it was a blast to read through all of them and I hope you feel the same way.

But wait, there’s more…

Time to Vote for Your Favorite Halloween Avatar!

Hi Everyone!

Time for you to cast your vote for your favorite Halloween Avatar.  I must say that narrowing down to just five avatars was incredibly hard for the GV Staff.  We all enjoyed the creativity our members have taken in creating their submissions and look forward to similar contests in the near future.

The link below will take you to the voting survey.

Avatar Contest Survey

We will announce the results on Monday (10/31) around 5pm – just in time for your Halloween celebrations!

Thanks again to everyone who entered and hope you all have a great weekend!

Now that’s a lot of Avatars!!

My Halloween Avatar 266 Avatars have entered this year’s contest!

Wow, that is over 100 more entries than last year – thanks to everyone who entered.  I have also closed the Official Entry thread so hopefully everyone who wanted to participate was able to do so.

I just can’t get over how creative everyone has been in the genesis of their Halloween avatars.  The cleverness of design and use of color makes me think that you all should be on Project Runway!

Narrowing down to the Top 5 for next Thursday will be incredibly difficult but we here at GV HQ are up for the challenge!  Looking forward to sharing the voting poll with you next Thursday and good luck to all of our entrants.

What is your Gamesville Avatar and how do you make one?

Written by megadestructo / May 31, 2011 1:11 pm / 17 Comments

Your Gamesville Avatar is a visual representation of yourself that you create by choosing facial features, skin color, accessories, and more. As you play games, you can unlock rare items that make your avatar even more unique! It’s your “personal stamp” on our site and lets you show off your creativity here to all our fabulous players. It’s also a way to get to know your fellow Gamesvillers and to tell them a bit about yourself. What better way than to show them your hobbies, your favorite sayings, and with a cool looking dude or lady representing you?

Get comfortable with mixing and matching our items and our colors, play around with the avatar system and go wild!

And if you see someone playing who hasn’t made on yet, send ‘em to this post as I’ll be showing people how easy it is to fill out a profile and make your own, unique Avatar!
