Bootleggers Buzz Holiday Tree! Nyxxiekins


This is your chance to be part of the first ever Bootleggers Holiday Tree! Above you will find a thumb-image sized sample of the Buzz Holiday Tree. This tree is empty now, but with your help, we hope all players and staff can come together and make this tree a decorative one!

How, you ask? Simple! Below, I have provided you with 5 different colored ornaments. Choosing your color of choice (or, if you have the PhotoShop skills to be able to create a new color of your own without altering the shape of the ornament), you are allowed to place the image INTO Photoshop, GIMP, Paint Shop Pro, MSPaint or any other graphic program. You are now able to make this ornament in your own style. You could add text or an image that signifies you, or you are able to dedicate the ornament to someone else to see!

There are rules, however. So before you go ahead and start decorating your very own ornament to be placed onto the tree, we ask that you read them through and the look at the samples below of what you are capable of doing to the ornament!

Rules
- Your ornament must stay the shape and size it is. No smaller, no bigger.
- Whatever you want ON the ornament, must remain ON the ornament and not dangling off it. Anything dangling off the ornament will be cut off or erased.
- Whatever is placed on the ornament, must remain within the rules of the game, TOS and Forum.
- One ornament per person and one ornament to dedicate to someone else. This means TWO ornaments per person. You decorate two for yourself, two for someone else or split the two, one for you and one for a friend to dedicate.
- Send all FINISHED ornaments in PNG, PSD, JPG or GIF format to BuzzHolidayTree@gmail.com
- Anyone is allowed to participate as long as they are not BOS. This includes all STAFF (you too Sabin and BSF2000!) and players alike!
- If you create two ornaments, both must look different. We do not want duplicates!
- All ornaments are due to the email address in bold above by December 21st, 2007 (Friday before Issue #54 is published)

We hope to have a nice decorated holiday tree for this year. Keep in mind the tree is just a symbol of ALL holidays and NOT just Christmas, hence why it is called a HOLIDAY tree and not a CHRISTMAS tree!

Sample Ornaments
These are simply just samples, you can copy them if you wish. You cannot use them, we want all ornaments to LOOK DIFFERENT!



Blank Ornaments
To take your blank ornament of choice, right click on the ornament and press "Copy Image" or "Save Image As..." and then re-paste it or open it into the Graphic program of your choice!
