Hello hello!

We have another very nice and simple contest with awesome prizes for you... as simple as a match! However, match - thin wooden strip used to set fire, NOT football game.

To avoid confusion
ENG: a match
PL: zapałka
GER: streichholz
ESP: cerillos / fosforos
POR: fósforo


You wonder what you task is, right? You have to build or create something related to Tibia with matches. It's not only limited to castles... Use your imagination and make your own constructions, build cities, create monsters or weapons. If you are not skilled in construction then you can create images, pictures or maps using matches.

Rules:

• You may submit as many works as you want
  
• You have to submit your works by the end of this year
  
• You may use only matches and glue (no additional decorating items). However, if your matches have, e.g. green heads, you may use them as grass
  
• You may break matches and use their parts, not only full-size matches
  
• When you create your submission, take a picture of that and post here
  
• You may use different types and sizes of matches (as long as they are not coloured)
  
• You may put some kind of paper or pad under your structure.
  
• You have to post additional pictures of at least 2 stages in the construction of your work. So basically, when you will be building something, please take picture 2 times to show how you were building it.
  
• On each picture, you have to put a paper with "FunTibia.com! Have fun with us!" next to this what you have build/created.
  
• You may add some fire effects but please be careful with that ;)
  
• If there are any changes in the rules, we will announce it in this thread

Awesome prizes:
1. one of these: bronze necklace / teddy / yellow rose + golden trophy of excelence
2. one of the remaining items + silver trophy of excelence
3. the remaining item + bronze trophy of excelence

Example of match construction:


Have fun!

I would like to participate this time, but i dont really get the idea, what do you mean by match, i am from Argentina and dont got a clue about what this means: "ESP: cerilla" xD

Do we need to create something in real life, using paper, pieces of wood, stones etc related with Tibia and then take a picture about it and upload it here to present it as an entry?

Thanks in Advance,

Maxoon.

---

Can we use something else to give volume? like baloons or clay. With only matches it would be kinda expensive to make a decent work.

---

IT MEANS "CERILLOS" THAT TO MAKE FIRE XD

---

ok

---

Maxoon, I just realised I put wrong word. Does "fosforos / cerillos" sound familiar?

or... how its called in Spanish?


lekiro, only matches are allowed, sorry :p

---

Can we use different sized matches or just 1 kind?

---

You can use different matches - different types, sizes, colours, etc.

---

what day the event ends?:)


I put the sticks in a piece of paper and color?;)

---

Please read carefully the rules and you will know that it ends on the last day of this year.

You may use only matches, no additional items. One exception is a paper or pad that you put under your structure.

PS You may add some fire effects but please be careful with that ;)

---

Hello, i again :P
will be my chance to win this time :D

Good luck to all and Merry Christmas

---

Merry Christmas
:D


I will compete will be pretty cool !!!


:D :D

---

I would like to announce that we have added another 2 points in the rules:

• You have to post additional pictures of at least 2 stages in the construction of your work. So basically, when you will be building something, please take picture 2 times to show how you were building it.
  
• On each picture, you have to put a paper with "FunTibia.com! Have fun with us!" next to this what you have build/created.

---

Nice! no cheats :D

---

If we can use different colour matches that means we can paint the structure too I guess.

And I will use headless matches, cuz they were cheaper than normal match boxes (and comes in large packs). I hope that's ok, they are still 'matches' afterall.

---

this is really cool
I will participate :D

---

Challenged not accepted for me this time :/
The contest looks interesting but too complicated.. xd

and.. Roman; wot u mean by: you may add some fire effects? o.o ar u talkin about "real fire" to be implemented inside of a "real place"? o.o

Wish ya a nice Merry Christmas and good luck for all the participants!! Have fun!!

Regards;

:)

---

Ah hahaha, i started to make some work, but later on i realized what did this "cerillos" means and my idea was totally wrong. And yes, in Argentina it's called fosforos.

Let's hope my hand skill allow me to submit a decent entry.

Maxoon.

---

Elais, don't worry about fire effects xD

Fire effects are not compulsory and you can add them, for example if you want to create a stuffed dragon with real fire :p but please..... be careful!

the contest on its own should not be complicated because all you have to do it to build something with matches.

---

Can I paint my matches ?

Here in Brazil I never seen some different... just red head :(

---

Ive got a question...

I can use only a pad as a base of my building (under it) or i can for example use the match boxes to make a castle and over it put the matches?

In the pic you posted to show us what we have to do, did u use a pad under ur mill or used paper under the matches u putted in the mill?

---

I am from Brazil too and have the same question.

---

Paper can be only used under structure?
colored glue can be used ?

---

I bought a pack similar to these (which is way cheaper than buying tons of kitchen match boxes):



I suppose that the important thing is the stick, not if it has powder head. In the rules says we can cut the sticks and use diferent sizes anyway.

Since there are also coloured headless matches, it shouldnt be against the rules to paint them. Same would go for coloured glue. It doesnt say which kind of glue to use either, so I suppose we are free to choose what we think is best and easier for our hands.



The point is to build something with those tiny sticks. I doubt the intention of this contest is to force us to use certain items of certain brand or specific glue. Some mod correct me if I'm wrong.

---

@xrafahx
no, you may not colour them with paint

@_carola_
You can use only pad under your construction. To support your structure, you have to use matches :p

@Dnacron
Yes, paper only UNDER construction. I don't mind what glue you use, but make sure you do not alter the natural colour of matches.

@lekiro
Thank you for bringing that point. I do not mind if you use headless matches and coloured glue, but coloured matches are not allowed - only the normal, brown ones.

---

why no colours mens, there goes my rainbow sword idea ;(

Can we use hmm how is it called.. varnish? PLIS ;c

---

No decorating items are allowed.

---

Gs and Thunder Hammer.
it took me, but I managed to finish. I hope you enjoy
Thank you !
:)

---

Bieel, you didn't read the rules carefully.

1.You have to post additional pictures of at least 2 stages in the construction of your work. So basically, when you will be building something, please take picture 2 times to show how you were building it.
2.On each picture, you have to put a paper with "FunTibia.com! Have fun with us!" next to this what you have build/created.

---

Hello,

Hello there Im posting my Bone beast match rendition. I hope you all enjoy :)


Darkdrium

---

I'll be starting my project tonight :)!

---

Ok so after a few days of hard work I have created one of my favorite shields. The Rose Shield, which was rewarded to a few on Antica for having the oldest guild. I have always looked at this shield and thought it would be greatest decoration item you could own. I hope that everyone will enjoy this as much as I have, and I look forward to seeing others creations too.

Signed,
Keppi

---

Can I use colors like this one shield above my post?

---

You can only use heads of matches as colours only.

---

i can use burned matches ? or make burns ?

---

Yes, you can Dnacron :)

---

Finally and after a while meditating the possibility to participate in this new contest;
I gave a try and this is what I got:

It was a bit hard and although my bat deco doesn't look like the bat deco in the game; I liked the new experience with handicrafts and the matches! lol

Good luck to all the participants! ;)

Regards;

---

Do I need to post more pictures to show that they were match heads and match sticks that I used for the color? Just wanted to be sure that you could see theyre match heads and match sticks.

Signed,
Keppi

---

You may post at least 2 pics from the stages of your work. So you can post more pics, showing that u asked.

---

Kepi, just post a picture with bigger zoom so we can see heads :p

---

doing everything possible to find wooden matches >.<

---

Here are some more pictures to show the stages of progress.

Signed,
Keppi

---

Cant see anything :p

---

in mexico there are matches with wax paper

we can extend them so that they are like sheets of 1 cm * 2 cm + / -?

we will use matches but not as a stick if not in form of sheets of 1 cm * 2 cm

edit: not all project it's gonna be in this way only some figures

---

Trying to re-size my Photos again. Hopefully this will work. Also I can't edit that other post for some reason maybe you can delete my last post, so it doesn't take up space please :).

Signed,
Keppi

---

I have the same problem. Not find, wooden matches

---

Hi, i've finaly finished my piece for the contest after many hours and alot of frustration but I had alot of fun doing it :) I decided to make the venore boat. I hope you enjoy it and GL to everyone!

---

Sorry had to make a second post to add my third picture, for some reason i could only upload 2 pictures on my first post.

---

No problem in posting separated

and Nice job :D

---

Hi again, I just wanted to make sure the new pictures I posted were ok for everyone to see the shield is made of matches and match heads. Do you need more pictures still?

---

They are fine, u dont need to upload more pics

---

aww you stole my boat idea XD! Well I'll be submitting mine in another day or two seeing as I'm not quite done and its HUGE >.< Hope mine looks as good as yours when its done

---

Is there a maximum amount of pictures during the process we can post? I took quite a few (some with and without the paper) because the boat is so big... I think its around 24 inches long about xP! As soon as I find out how many I can post I'll put up pictures :)

-Samantha

---

Thanks :D it sux though because I had some trouble uploading my photos and when i re-sized it, it ended up too small and makes the boat look alot smaller than it is lol. I think I used around 2500 headless matches.

@ Celestial~ Im sure your boat will look great :) looking forward to seeing the photos.

---

Well here goes... hopefully you guys like them cuz I worked REALLY hard on it >.<
