Pandora | Ultima Online

Hey everyone. Hope you're all feeling the cheer this time of year! What always helps me get into the spirit is going all out and decorating the house to the point that the only visible colours are red and green. So, in honor of that annual tradition of crawling around in attics or digging through the garage to find those dusty boxes full of tangled lights and, oh so much glitter, I will be throwing a "Very-Pandora style" holiday house decoration contest. So here is how its gonna go;

1) All house have to be done in Holiday theme. Wether it be Christmas Galor, Happenin' Hanukkah, or Winter Wonderland is up to you (or however else people decorate this time of year...You get the point)
2) You can drop a copy of the rune to your holiday house in my Luna plot mailbox (South end Luna, the lil house with the red stairs), I will then place them in a runebook on the stairs of my place so everyone can check out the work you did!
3) All rune have to be dropped off by midnight (shard time) December 23rd, winners will be announced on December 24th



To prevent any bias, I will select the top 3 places (Maybe with Kon if he's available, *wink-wink, nudge-nudge* ) But there will be a special People Choice award! I will create a poll closer to the end of the contest where people can vote for there favorite Holiday House. The prize for the person with the most votes will be; 100k for every vote they got, and a Special Trophy from Kon.

Also, all participants will get a special deco item, commemorating there efforts done this holiday season.

...Also, i will be holding an infamous Storage Wars Pandora next week. All proceeds will be added on to these prizes! So these prizes will probably go up a few mil each!

Ahh, lovely contest! Good i'm having a work in process house atm, that's what i'm gonna use for this contest. :)

One week left to go everyone!

*bump!*

Sadly im unable to put the rune in your box :P

Weird! I'll fix that right away!

thanks a bunch dear got it in :P

Thank you for informing me of that! I would have looked silly running an event with no house to judge!

No problem at all! Would have told you sooner but i wasn't ready to rune my rune until yesterday so i didn't find out til then lol i keep changing things around lol

I'm trying!  I'm trying!  :)

Maggie don't worry, i got a really nice blackout and couldn't figure out what to do in my house anymore.  :P

Someone do me a big favor and inform this luddite how to make a question poll thing...

Saturn, you are going to have a hard time choosing the houses :D I've checked all of them and they are all great. I wish you luck! And a Happy Christmas!

Your right, i had a near impossible time. So i had a friend who doesn't play uo help me out. They are insanely well done!!

that reminds me. The winners should have been listed yesterday? Or am i totally wrong.

Okay! Everyones submission was amazing! I don't know how you guys come up with these ideas!! I had a very difficult time selecting the top 3, never mind in what order those top 3 were going to be. I had to have a gamer friend help me (he doesn't play uo, but he's and architect. Don't know if that relevant, but whatever). So here it goes;

First Place:Marty Nosmont with his "Gingerbread House"
Second Place: GrimReaper for his "*Floating Christmas Wonderland, Valhalla Style*"
Third Place:Maggs for her "Good Tidings"

Everyone should still check these places out! As soon as i figure out how to make a poll we can still have the peoples choice. Rune book is on the steps of my place in south Luna.
I would like to personally thank everyone who participated!! I will be going around with your prizes as soon as I'm done work.

Yeah...Sorry, I've been all over and slightly scatterbrained.

WOW!!!....Nigel

Congrats guys

Also, if you haven't already visited these places, please do! These pictures don't do them any justice as the insides are also amazing!
Martys Place has a cool gingerbread workshop and a family room with a TV that was obviously well thought out
Grim has wonderland with a bit of a darker/overlord style that made me second guess Santas intentions (wouldnt expect anything else from you grim! :P )
Maggs and Ren have this whole Feliz Navida feel to it

All amazing!!

It's the cold Valhalla ofc it has to have some dark scene with it, otherwise the Viking gods would look wussies :D And the swamp jail i tried to make look like Xmas in Jail Section hehe

I actually laughed when i saw the jail. who puts a jail in a holiday house? I loved it!

Hehe. Well i guess GrimReaper does? :D

Feliz Navidad!  Love it :)  Thank you Saturn for hosting the deco contest :)  It was a lot of fun, and it was nice being able to participate in a player-run event!

Sorry for the delay in the prizes everyone, i will be getting on that ASAP!

No worries Saturn :)
