Contest: A Blast From The Past! Sponsored by NZXT


http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/slaveofconvention/banners/competitions/blastfromthepast.png (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/frontpage/?q=node/487)

Every once and a while, I take a look through some of the older mods around here. Call me nostalgic, old-fashioned, or whatever you like, but I prefer to think of it as a search for inspiration. Modding has evolved from these creations, and as such, they are what we build on. In this contest, we challenge you to search for inspiration! ...more (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/frontpage/?q=node/487)...

<!--break-->

How well do you remember the previous projects here on TheBestCaseScenario? This contest will test both your recollection and your searching ability. Contestants (that's you!) will be answering questions based on previous projects, with the occasional random, non-modding related question thrown in. For this contest we have five (yes 5!) prizes to give away, ranging from a Hades Case (http://www.nzxt.com/new/product_detail.php?series_name=Crafted+Series&series=2&id=45) to some Premium Cables. (http://www.nzxt.com/new/product.php?series_name=Premium+Cables&series=13)

Rules


Contest participants must be registered members of TBCS.
Any non staff member of TBCS may participate.
Only contestants who score 100% will be added to the drawing.
One entry per member. (This means you must score 100% on your first try. Any score after your first try will be tossed out by the system)
Due to shipping restrictions, this contest is limited to members residing in the USA and Canada only.
Contest runs from 12:01am, 21 April 2010 till 11:59pm on 5 May 2010. (all times CST)


How to enter

Members wishing to participate in this contest must visit worklogs from the past to answer questions on a quiz. The Quiz will consist of 20 questions ranging from easy to moderately hard. Take your time and research past worklogs for the correct answers as only those who score 100% will be entered in the drawing. This is not a timed test.

The contest closes on 5 May 2010. All those scoring 100% on the quiz will have their name entered in the random drawing which will be held on 6 May 2010 by our own OvRiDe. The Drawing will be recorded on video and posted in this thread on or before 7 May 2010. The 5 names who are drawn will receive prizes in descending order. IE: First name drawn = First place prize.

Contest has ended.

[OvRiDe]

Ok, guys and gals, the contest is officially underway!

Take your time and do some research! You get one shot at the drawing so make it count!

Good luck to all of you.

[Trace]

Good luck, and have fun!

[d_stilgar]

I'm going to enter for sure, I'll have time tomorrow to do it too.

Also, typo in first post, "east to moderately hard." Should be "easy."

[Trace]

fixed it up on here, I have no power for the front page though.

[OvRiDe]

Sorry.. typo is fixed.

I deleted my post about the question that had 2 correct answers. I re-examined the question and found that I made a mistake and there is only one correct answer.

So, remember folks, do your research, take your time, and get in the drawing!!

[Trace]

Thanks Boss

[SXRguyinMA]

I'm definitely in on this one!

[farlo]

95% :'(

[Oneslowz28]

I can not stress it enough guys. Take your time and research. Every answer can be found if you do some digging and reading. There is no time limit on the test.

[farlo]

im pretti sure i know which one it counted wrong, i hit back and changed one of my answers.

[Mach]

95% lol, not sure what I missed. I thought I had them all right. Thanks anyway guys! What a great idea. I definitely missed and forgotten a few of these mods. The starfield one (no I'm not telling) was very cool.

[Trace]

Glad to hear this was an enjoyable contest!

[diluzio91]

guhh... stuck at 95%......

[d_stilgar]

wtf is up with the first question? I thought I had it right, but now that I'm looking at the blast door specific question I'm doubting myself. Who the heck ever tried to replicate doom 3? Where is that on the site? how did I miss that?

Edit: found it.

[d_stilgar]

Also, I think this question has two correct answers.

What is on the left side panel of Defyant's 'HP Resurrection II Evolution'?

I won't say which two I think are correct though.

[d_stilgar]

All done. I win!

[slaveofconvention]

All you 95%'ers, don't get too disheartened just yet. We have five prizes from our competition sponsor NZXT to give out in this competition. If we get less than five 100% responses, we will end up having a second draw for any remaining prizes from everyone who scores 95%. It's only fair that the top prizes go to the people who do score the full 100%, but as they say, it ain't over yet....

[nevermind1534]

100%!

edit:

[Technochicken]

Sweet, I got a 100!

http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/certificate/certificate.php?id=7027135&qid=115842&uname=Technochicken

[mofo]

two hours later ...
100% first try!

Got distracted a few times...
Great contest. Always love the scavenger hunt things, this was nice because
we were given immediate reply as to our correct answers.

[Waynio]

Cool contest:up: I know it isn't for out of us/canada but wanted to say great contest :).

There is so many awesome work logs here I think I could spend a month easily just checking them all, & it's impossible to not get inspired here 8).

[Trace]

I wish we could open them world wide

[Oneslowz28]

I am very pleased that you guys like this one so much. A lot of work went into getting it together. So make sure you give some rep to the Mods, Journos and Admins over the next few days. They pulled this off like Rock Stars!!!

If you have not entered the contest yet there is still plenty of time. a 100% score is more than possible and the last few post in this thread prove it. Just take your time, use the resources the site provides and you will be fine.

[Luthien]

I can't get to the questions...Help, please?

[Luthien]

Nevermind...Ignore my previous plea for help...Reloaded the page and it's all better. Lousy Bevill computer....

[Kayin]

For their wifi, turn off your wireless card and turn it back on, it should help.

[Luthien]

No, it's not a problem with their wifi; it's actually one of their computers...I'm using mom's office pc while she's in class.

[SXRguyinMA]

yea buddy :banana: only took about 1hr 15m....psh...lol

http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/certificate/certificate.php?id=7040071&qid=115842&uname=SXRguyinMA

[SXRguyinMA]

um...can we substitute the EVO case for that new camo EVO one?

[Luthien]

Bah...At least I tried...
Stupid problems with right/left...

[Juicebox]

That was fun!
http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/certificate/certificate.php?id=7043038&qid=115842&uname=Juicebox

[Oneslowz28]

W00T more 100% scores. Keep it up guys. For those of you who did not score 100% there is always another contest next month.

And no we can not swap cases for the new camo one. These prizes were set aside a month ago.

[Trace]

I personally like the theme of the next contest better then this one.

[SXRguyinMA]

what is it? I'll tell you if I like it or not lol

[OvRiDe]

Well only an idea has been proposed. There is no definite theme for the next contest as of yet. There will be a contest, and its got some pretty cool prizes as well!

[Trace]

OvRiDe is right, I'm ahead of myself. So far, all of the proposals are better IMO.

[StormRider]

dang, I have vanishing question syndrome.

[d_stilgar]

Hopefully I'll hear back from the Novint guy soon so they don't overlap.

[StormRider]

lol, please ignore my first entry(wasn't finished), because I accidentally closed it. stupid internet errors

[OvRiDe]

Hopefully I'll hear back from the Novint guy soon so they don't overlap.

No worries, since the Novint contest is not an official TBCS contest, as in it is being held by a member and not Staff, there should be no problems if there is any overlap.

[StormRider]

darn it, only missed one. oh well, there's always next month

[d_stilgar]

No worries, since the Novint contest is not an official TBCS contest, as in it is being held by a member and not Staff, there should be no problems if there is any overlap.

Still, I don't want people to not participate if they feel they have to choose one over another. I hope I win this one though!

[Joonce]

My questions started disappearing at 18... so I started over. My first one shouldn't count right? I never finished.
Anyway I got 100%!
http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/certificate/certificate.php?id=7052477&qid=115842&uname=Joonce

[d_stilgar]

That's how mine was. The connection or something was weird. In any case I had hit the back button and was changing answers on a few questions, so I got all the way through the second time. I'm pretty sure my 100% counted but who knows. Can we get a list of everyone that is in the drawing?

[OvRiDe]

I will post a final list of those entered the drawing at the end of the contest, but neither of you have anything to worry about ;)

[billygoat333]

It's sad, but I don't have the motivation to do this. DAMNIT are finals here and over with already? lol

[OvRiDe]

It's sad, but I don't have the motivation to do this. DAMNIT are finals here and over with already? lol

Here is your modivation...

http://thebestcasescenario.com/oneslowz28/front_page/NZXT_Hades/DSC03326.jpg

http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/frontpage/?q=node/486

If you win.. its FREEZIES!!! :)

[Trace]

Lol!

[d_stilgar]

I didn't need tons of motivation to go back and look at some really cool work logs. It's making me think I should make another list like the "best cases ever" but "best worklogs ever."

[TheGreatSatan]

I just played with it under a false name and only got 9 right. Of course, I did no research

[Oneslowz28]

Time is running out guys. You have until 5 May 2010 to get your entries in!!!!!

[StormRider]

does accidentally exiting out of a question make it wrong?
I just forgot to ask, since the night I took it I accidentally switched from the question to the TBCS featured worklogs section, then switched back

[SXRguyinMA]

Time is running out guys. You have until 5 April 2010 to get your entries in!!!!!

well seeing that its April 26th I'd say time ran out a few weeks ago :D

[StormRider]

well seeing that its April 26th I'd say time ran out a few weeks ago :D
Lol, I think he meant May. :D
and my previous question still stands

[OvRiDe]

From my testing .. no it does not score the question incorrect.

[Juicebox]

From my testing .. no it does not score the question incorrect.

Phewf, that's a relief. Chrome crashed on me twice during the test.

[Oneslowz28]

Yes I did mean May. Sorry for they typo

[StormRider]

lol, noone's going to die because you messed up one word.
I hope.

[billygoat333]

AAACK! I was taking this quiz (finally, lol) and it froze on me! now all I get is a blank white page!! grr.

EDIT: it was after I hit submit on question 13.

hit back a few times, and it took me to question 11 ok. so I just re-answered it. hope that doesn't disqualify me, especially when it was the stupid website's fault! lol

[OvRiDe]

You're good!:up:

[Luke122]

http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/certificate/certificate.php?id=7128715&qid=115842&uname=Luke122

I only really had to look hard for 2 answers. Tricky wording, tricky wording. ;)

[d_stilgar]

One week til I win!

[SXRguyinMA]

you mean 1 week till you come in 2nd behind me :D lol

[Trace]

I believe what you both mean is, "1 week until we both have an equal chance in winning the top prize because we both did equally well." lol

[SXRguyinMA]

whats a little friendly competition? :whistler: lol

[Okele]

I think I found a problem with one of the questions. I dont know where I should submit the issue though. /shrug. I researched every question and there is one that doesn't seem to have a correct answer, and I had to dig deep for it. Im wondering if the one's who got the 95% and 90% are victims of this question(should it be wrong).

[StormRider]

lol, is it that "not made by the mod god" one?(no details)

[Luke122]

It's all in the wording guys.. read it carefully.

[SXRguyinMA]

yes, a couple questions require you to read very carefully :up:

[Oneslowz28]

Contest Has Ended!

As with everything else in life, all good things must come to an end. The time for contest entries has come and past and we are no longer accepting scores from the test. The drawing will be held tomorrow for those of you who scored 100%. It will be filmed and posted. As to what time I do not know, but I promise that it will be up before midnight tomorrow.

Good luck to all who scored 100% and thanks to everyone who entered.

We will be holding a new contest sponsored by Prolimatech in about a week and a half so keep your eyes open for it.

[Juicebox]

Good luck everybody; and I will definitely be here for the next contest. These contests are probably the most fun I've ever had in a forum. Keep it up! :up:

[Luke122]

*fingers crossed*

*eyes crossed*

[OvRiDe]

I am having some equipment issues. The video will be posted tomorrow night.

I apologize for the delay.

[diluzio91]

haha... now whoever won the extender cables can send them my way! :D

[billygoat333]

I just want the sexy fan controller, although the evo or hades would be nice too :D

[diluzio91]

haha... yeah, sadly blue storm may be coming extremely slowly this summer, my job fell through, so i hope i can find another one. lol

[OvRiDe]

Ok folks! Sorry it took so long, but I got things ironed out. So with out further ado...

494

[SXRguyinMA]

WOOO!!! :banana: congrats everyone!!!

[NightrainSrt4]

Congrats to all the winners!

[billygoat333]

Congrats everyone. Didnt watch the video with sound (at work but couldnt wait to see who won), but the video was well made :)

This was a fun contest!

[SXRguyinMA]

yes, definitely a fun contest!!

I've already got plans for the EVO....it will be replacing my Armor...and there's some LED accents that might need to get swapped....I'll make a worklog :D

[Oneslowz28]

Full credit for the video goes to OvRiDe. Everything from the animations to the chroma key work was all him. He started setting up the shoot yesterday afternoon and wound up staying up until 4:30 am rendering it out after some equipment issues. So everyone give him some rep for that!

Congrats to the winners. I will be in touch with you later today via PM so I can get your shipping info for the prizes.
