I'll be damned if this isn't allowed at all, YOU NEED SOME FAKENESS PEOPLE.

Is music with bad words allowed?
This isn't the last contest we plan to run, so yes. Any videos that don't make this contest in time will be held for the next one.

Please be careful using servers that aren't ours. I wouldn't want someone to make a video making us look foolish, and no one else will like it either. So to be safe, don't include anything that would allow the other server or soldiers to be identified, especially if they are shown in a negative light. It's not the TG way to mock other people.

Music with bad words would be a case by case basis. We like to keep things clean here, so that anyone can feel comfortable letting their kids participate in our community and play on our servers. At the same time, we have a very mature attitude. So put in what you like, and with the above in mind, use your best judgment.

Please restrict your footage to our servers. Schedule the private one if you need some space to script or act, but fraps and BR footage of real action should be TG folks.

Point 1: Got it.
Point 2: So taking a bunch of Tgers and owning on a pub server is out of the question?
Point 3: Got it.

Ok, so point 2 is changed to reflect the new guidelines.

Meh, I thought you wouldn't mind this, but I didn't want to spell this out too much because of idea stealing...Oh well, I probably won't be able to do one anyway, and at least I may have contributed something to someone's project (plus, I doubt I'd be able to get a bunch of TGers together, Someone in an IHS would probably do this better).

You can always PM me or Lorax if you have questions that might give away your ideas.

Re: Tactical Gamer Promotional Video Contest: Demonstrating Teamwork

To add my thoughts on the music question: If it's not safe for work or it's something you would be embarrassed by you parents hearing, then odds are pretty good that it won't be appropriate for the contest. Keep in mind, this video is meant to showcase what TG is all about.

Re: Tactical Gamer Promotional Video Contest: Demonstrating Teamwork

Is there any length requirements or guidelines? Can it be as short as 30 seconds or as long as 15 minutes?

Re: Tactical Gamer Promotional Video Contest: Demonstrating Teamwork

I just though of an excellent song that could be used to intro a video.

Saliva - Ladies and Gentlemen

Lyrics

Quote:
Ladies and gentlemen please
Would you bring your attention to me?
For a feast for your eyes to see
An explosion of catastrophe

Like nothing you’ve ever seen before
Watch closely as I open this door
Your jaws will be on the floor
After this you’ll be begging for more

Welcome to the show
Please come inside
Ladies and gentlemen

woa
Do you want it?
woa
Do you need it?
woa
Let me hear it
Ladies and gentlemen

Boom
Do you want it?
Boom
Do you need it?
Boom
Let me hear it
Ladies and gentlemen

Ladies and gentlemen good evening
You’ve seen that seeing is believing
Your ears and your eyes will be bleeding
Please check to see if you’re still breathing

Hold tight cause the show is not over
If you will please move in closer
You're about to be bowled over
By the wonders you’re about to behold here

Welcome to the show (welcome to the show)
Please come inside
Ladies and gentlemen

Boom
Do you want it?
Boom
Do you need it?
Boom
Let me hear it
ladies and gentlemen

boom
Do you want it?
boom
Do you need it?
boom
Let me hear it

Welcome to the show
We're glad you came along
Please come inside
Ladies and gentlemen

Boom
Do you want it?
Boom
Do you need it?
Boom
Let me hear it
Ladies and gentlemen

Re: Tactical Gamer Promotional Video Contest: Demonstrating Teamwork

Isn't that the song being used in a lot of the PS3 commercials?

Re: Tactical Gamer Promotional Video Contest: Demonstrating Teamwork
