UPDATE October 2nd 2010. The contestants are in and let the voting begin! Again thanks for every one who made their sets and enterd and lets have even more people voting for their favorite set! Please visit the voting thread here and cast your vote for your favorite set! OK BlooMilk community, I was reading up on the thread about the custom Contest that bloomilk hosted back in January. And alot of us, didn't make accounts until after that. And I absolutely LOVE making customs. Its just so fun and you can make everything your own. Obviously there is no shortage of people making there own sets on here with a list of 40 figures and stats which is no easy task or walk in the park. These people spend time and do research in actually making these stats and making them good. I think its about time we have a custom contest 2 and give some new comers a try at entering their sets! Unfortunately I am not Shinja and cannot edit the site but I unless he dose another one (not a threat) I propose and take the responsibility of Hosting "BlooMilks Unofficial Custom Contest 1". It would be awesome if we could get out stats up on the site but if not having the community would be the next coolest thing. So if we cant get another official one running ill start the Unofficial one now! The rules will be the same as the other contest and here they are. Design a 40 piece custom set. Rules: -Some or all of the characters can be ones you've already designed and posted here or elsewhere. -No new factions (only use the 10 existing factions). -Keep the current rarity distribution (8 VR, 8 R, 12 UC, 12 C). -All Uncommon and Common characters must be non-Unique. -Your set can include Huge and smaller characters (no Colossals), but even if it has Huges in it, just follow the normal rarity distribution as if it were a standard set. You could only have one Huge in your entire set, and that's fine. -No direct reprints from existing WotC sets. (i.e. You can create a new Darth Vader, but you can't include Lord Vader from Bounty Hunters in your set.) -No reprints/reposes within your set (so you can't do 3 Stormtrooper poses like Rebel Storm). Every character has to have different stats. -Must be Star Wars characters that exist in canon. If they have a Wookieepedia entry, you're good to go, no matter how obscure they are. Also, if they're some kind of generic trooper or grunt that makes sense in the Star Wars universe, that's fine too. -Make sure to clearly define what your custom Special Abilities and Force powers do in the card text. -Only one custom set per person per contest. Any one who Is interested in participating please post on here with your 1. Name 2. Custom Set Name 3. A link to the page where I can find your Custom set 4. (Optional) Short synopsis about the theme of your set I'm not sure how long I will leave this open to have people 'Enter their sets'. 15 entries or the date reaches 9-31-10 I will post the voting for the contest. Heres how it will work. I will post a poll with a link to every ones set. The community will vote for which ever set they like the most and that set will be the unofficial winner! I will also post another thread dedicated to that person and they will have room to explain about their set and so forth. I hope this contest takes off because I know that you custom makers want to be recognized so get a posting! I do ask please that your set be finished. The Poll will start at the begining of next month and the more time you have for people to check it out the more votes youll get.

Contestants for ‘BlooMilk Unofficial Custom Contest’ 1: DarthBane53Set: The Rule of Two Link: Rule of Two LinkDescription: A set themed in the old republic mainly focusing around the Darth Bane book and some of the over look extremely powerful characters. I also included some of the more strange beasts from across the star wars universe to have some fun with! 2: cicrush13 Set: The Unifying Force Link: The Unifying Force linkDescription: I made this one with a few figures from my previous set (Invasion) and built off of that to create a more complete picture of the Yuuzhna Vong Invasion. 3: saber1Set: Allegiance Link: AllegianceDescription: 4: JediOompaloompa Set: N/A Link: N/A Description: 5. creme_bruleSet: Masters of Battle Link: Masters of Battle LinkDescription: An overall balanced set with characters from each faction--even though there's only two Mandos and one NR for ex, they will really boost their factions (if they were created into real play). : 6: Lord_BallSet: Disturbance in the Force Link: Disturbance in he force (Card version) Disturbance in the Force (Text Version) ( Not correct rarity)Description: When WOTC no longer supported the game there was a "Disturbance in the Force" and so I decided to create my first custom set (complete with figures, which are not finished yet), to include many characters I would have liked to see. 7: darthsithisSet: The Mandalorian Crusades Link: The Mandalorian CrusadesDescription: Taking place in the Old and Ancient Republic, dawning back to the rise of the Sith to those you've come to love in KotOR. You will see some revitalized old favorites and some new characters that have echoed through the Star Wars universe. Adding more to the under weighted Mandalorians and creating many new sith and old republic. 8: Sashlon Set: GALAXY Link: GALAXYDescription:The Galaxy set introduces many heroes and villains into Star Wars Miniatures, including Darth Wyyrlock, Borsk Fey'lya, Poggle the Lesser and the Revanchist, along with some of the most iconic characters and vehicles from the Star Wars universe 9: brennanSet: Dark Reckoning Link: Dark ReckoningDescription: If you look on the Light Side ratio to Dark Side ratio in the character browsing section you'll see that the numbers are very largely tilted in the Light Side's favor. This is my attempt to make both sides even and fun and make the game more enjoyable, like how it used to be before all those monster shooter squads and Dash Rendars. The set has a Dark theme throughout, whether its a particularly nasty ability on a Jedi or a monster sith power every character has at least a shadow of Darkness..... 10: Human Black Sun VigoSet:Unifying Force (not the book) Link: The Unifiying Force (not the book)Description:Just some minis that i wanted to see, and some that i wanted rereleased/thought should have had different stats 11: adamb0ndSet: Savage Worlds Link: Savage WorldsDescription: This is my savage worlds set. I still have to post 6 more pieces, pretty up the formatting, and add in some flavor text. The theme is to allow us access to some better savage pieces, and to dip into the Ewok Movies, which some of us (though few and far between) have fond memories of.

I'd kinda like my Force Unleashed 2.0 set to be entered. Mind making an exception of a few of the rules (i.e. 60 instead of 40 characters and no rarity distribution)?

cicrush13- Added! Looking forward to running against you!!
saber1- I will reserve a space for you just please enter it asap!
Human Black Sun Vigo- I would really prefer if you just take off 20 peices. It wouldent be that hard I dont think. Just take of 20 and re-distribute the rarity. How you can enter!
Thanks every one! Still need more contestants!

I had fun with the first one - I'll probably give it a shot.
Btw, shinja said on SHNN that in the next update users will be able to create customs and add them to the site. I don't know any details about how it might work, though.

Eh, Why not :) Lord_Ball Set: Disturbance in the Force Link: Oversized cards in PDF format or Text version* Description: When WOTC no longer supported the game there was a "Disturbance in the Force" and so I decided to create my first custom set (complete with figures, which are not finished yet), to include many characters I would have liked to see. *rarity Distribution of the text version does not follow the rules and has therefore been editted in the PDF Cards for entry, text version is included merely for stats. For Rarity purposes the following changes should be made: #1 Common, #8 Common, #21 Very Rare, #24 Very Rare, #35 Rare

I just read another thread about an unofficial comp I would prefer you have all the stats done but yes, I will add you. As for the other one im not sure whats going on with him. He asked if he could enter with 60 minis and I asked him to lower it to 40 so apparently he found it necessary to copy my thread and make his own to fit his rules. So I dont know if its legit for him or not but this is the first one made since march and I think hes just a bit cranky cuz he didnt wanna change his set lol. Idk really but I started it back up. So I would expect that people would go with mine (the origonal).

Sorry. Didn't read your reply before I started that. I didn't mean to offend you, and I apologize. I did, before posting my comment on yours, try going through my set to cut off some of the non-essential customs, but I couldn't make up my mind on who to cut. Additionally, I'm still making changes to my set, so IDK if submitting it would be that great of an idea, because sudden changes that I make might skew the judging. I'm too...attached to my minis (that's why I'm a Black Sun Vigo, instead of a Jedi .). I didn't really think through that the 2 comps would be coinciding. BTW, JediOompaloompa, mine is slightly more non-conformist than this one. I don't have a definite or set rarity distribution/#of characters, I let you change your set while the rest are being submitted, and there are a few more variations.

I will go back through my set again to cut it down to 40. Would that make sufficient amends?

Allright. Also I apologise for such a backlash I didnt mean to sound so curt, its just that once in a rare time I have a good, origonal idea and this was one of them lol. And I only have the rules as they are because those are the exact rules of the offoical contest. No hard feelings =).
