Any submission including current work, as long as the fm hasn't been released to the public. The exception is, an fm that has already been released,but chosen for this contest, and it is altered for the Contest with the Author's expressed permission.
Does that mean I can give myself permission to alter my own previously released mission and use it in the contest? :)

Yes John, the same as using someone elses fm with their permission. You own it, so you get to give yourself permission to use it. ;)

Well it might take some arm-twisting but I think I can get me to agree! ;)

Hi everyone!
Well, it is getting close to Halloween, as there is only 1 day left. If you need an extention of a week, please let me know. The poll decided on a timely entry, but this is a no pressure contest, so please pm me.
We are down to only 5 contestants, as 2 had to drop out of the contest.
Note:
When submitting your entry, submit it to Jason, (Mr.Tibbs) at:(
http://thiefmissions.com/hosting.html) http://thiefmissions.com/hosting.html You can use an ftp client, which I can help you with, or send him a link to it where he can access it on a file storage site.
Please use a carbon copy, when you send it to him, so I will know, or please contact me first if you think of it.
Please tell him that this is for the Halloween Contest 2013!
Also, please do not include your name in the readme in your contest entry zip, if you wish to remain anonymous.
Jason will list them in the Halloween Contest 2013 Category, and keep them anonymous.
Jason has been contacted, and so has Al_b to prepare for the Contest's Voting poll.
I thought the Voting Poll should be one vote per member, and should include just the basic categories. Mentioned in the Official Halloween Contest Rules.
A.Visual (Atmosphere)
B.Story
C.Game Play
Jason will send me the links to start the release thread on Halloween. TTLG's Time. Good luck, and Happy Coming Halloween! :devil:

I don't know if anyone has started beta testing yet but with Shalebridge down it will be difficult. I know its the better practice to beta test but honestly I think my mission can stand as it is. :o
Maybe it would be better to allow another week to accomodate testing.

I don't know, john - you were my first and we did it by pm. ;)

Good call nickie, yes, you can beta test by pm's and email, like before the days of testing forums.
Ask for beta testers in this forum, and explain that testing will be in pm's or email.
Edit:The Shalebridge testing forum is up again! (

Yes I remember testing through PMs and emails Nickie. :) It can be done as long as the inbox has room for messages but wouldn't be a problem with email. What I meant to say is that it is easier to keep up with and re-reference messages if you don't have to go back and forth in and out of every message to find something. In a forum you can see multiple messages by simply scrolling up and down. I didn't say it couldn't be done but it would be more difficult. :) Either way we use what is available.
By the time I get my mission zipped up I wouldn't feel right asking anyone to test it at the last minute. No one else has chimed in so I wonder how the other contestants feel about adding another week.

Do what you must John, as this is a no pressure contest. Glad you got your entry finished. As soon as you are finished with testing, please send your fm to Mr.Tibbs at:(
http://thiefmissions.com/hosting.html) http://thiefmissions.com/hosting.html :)
After a week into the Contest, I will let Al_B know how many contestants we officially have, and he can modify the Voting Program.
Attention All Contestants
When you are ready to submit your contest entries, please submit to: (
http://thiefmissions.com/hosting.html) http://thiefmissions.com/hosting.html Mr.Tibb's email is on that page. If you need to use an ftp, I can help set you up with one, otherwise a file sharing/storage upload/download site is fine. Make sure he can access the link you send him. Mention that your contest entry is for Halloween Contest 2013.
I will start the release thread as soon as I start receiving links from Thiefmissions.com
Edit: Just to be clear, your contest mission is welcomed, and a week's extention is no problem.
1 week extention, and if you need a couple more days please pm or email me.
Good luck, and Happy Halloween!

I have really been looking forward to this contest. Being a recent member is going to be the first time in which I will try mission for a contest and being Halloween themed they surely add some shivvers down my back. It's about 8 o clock where I am, so outside is dark, and I fear that I will get so scared i will regret it:cheeky: :erm:
