Design the 2011 MapleCalendar Event

http://maplestory.nexon.net/News/Events....ageIndex=1

The new year has just arrived, so that means your old calendars are obsolete as a computer from 1995. Many people go out and buy new calendars, but in Maple World we are old fashioned and we make our own calendars. Here is your chance to pick your favorite month of the year and design a calendar page for it. Simply pick a month and create a calendar that matches the theme for that month.

{ Themes }
January: Celebrating the New Year
February: Winter Wonderland
March: Easter Egg Hunt
April: April Fools
May: 6 Years Together
June: Lions
July: Fireworks
August: At the Beach
September: Back to School
October: Spooky Forest
November: Turkey Day
December: Holiday Celebration

{ Prizes }
1st place...60,00 MaplePoints
2nd place...40,000 MaplePoints
3rd place...30,000 MaplePoints
4th place...20,000 MaplePoints

I'm surprised this hasnt been posted yet.

Leaves a lot of clues as to what content we will get for each month.

AKA "not a lot"

I think June is gonna be LHC because the theme is Lions

Well congratulations on that massive leap of deductive reasoning.
We just might be having an anniversary in May and 2+2 might also equal 4!

June isn't the spring...?

June isn't the sping...?

And Nexon has never lied before?

Besides if winter lasts through February (because winter is December, January, February), spring would be March April May, assuming it came in a patch at end of May it would still be in Spring and would be on the June calendar.

I can see your reasoning but, deep inside it makes me sadface. Waiting until June is so long for LHC, especially since I was hoping Chaos would start coming out around then. >_>

I thought we determined that was more an August-October thing?

6k Maple Points?

No thanks.

Instead, we’re now spending two or three months doing nothing but preparing a lot of content and putting them all together into one, large update. This removes at least two maintenance/patch cycles. That gives us the us the breathing room to create larger pieces of content for you to enjoy.

Take that as you wish

Doesn't really change anything.
Even if they put all the info in for events three months early it still means not 'opening' them until scheduled maintenance on a chosen date.
All it does is reduce the patching frequency, not actually change the content release cycle.

6k Maple Points?

No thanks.

It says 60k. o_o

6k Maple Points?

No thanks.

Lol first prize is definitely a typo. 60k.

Prizes aren't too bad if you win all 12 months. Now if only I had drawing and image making skillz...

ZOMG GUYS OCTOBER SPOOKY WOODS THAT MUST MEAN A HAUNTED HOUSE OR PHANTOM FOREST EXPANSION! *is shot*

OT: I think this is a cool idea having the fans make the calenders. Too bad I suck at drawing/photo shop.

Interesting contest. Think I should try given my wallpaper skills? xd

And by "Remember to respect copyright laws - you will be disqualified for using copyright material," I hope that doesn't include direct Maple sprite extractions... xd

Isn't there supposed to be a certain size requirement to that?

lul. Maybe I can submit this one and win... xD

 Spoiler

(no not really... but I think with some time I can make something that excels this)

EDIT:

Isn't there supposed to be a certain size requirement to that?

Apparently their old calendars were 1024x768, so that's probably their size requirement.

Lets see:

January: Celebrating the New Year -Don't know why we making one
February: Winter Wonderland - Uh...? Maybe golden temple since they said it would be in February
March: Easter Egg Hunt -Yea like we didn't see this comming. Guild revamp? Maybe ultimate adventurer.
April: April Fools- Oh not this s'hit again. Ultimate adventurer if we didnt get it in the guild revamps
May: 6 Years Together - Obvious aniversary is obvious. Dont really expect anything else.
June: Lions - I'm raging like a thousand suns at how LHC is this far away
July: Fireworks - 4th of July...yay..../sarcasm Maybe part 1 of chaos please?
August: At the Beach -Lame surfboards dropping, Chaos Part 1 if not started, Chaos part 2 if stated.
September: Back to School -Filler event, maybe vpq if nothing else. Chaos Part 2 if not started, chaos part 3 if did.
October: Spooky Forest - At first glace seems masteria like, but in reality a spooky forest is just to add effect to Halloween events. Final ending of chaos if started late?
November: Turkey Day - Yea thanksgiving, didn't expect much.
December: Holiday Celebration - Christmas events. Maybe something surprising, but don't hold your breath.

Those are my predictions for this year. Pretty lack luster Anyone want to add / argue about anything i wrote?
