Fancy Hat Contest
Win a new fancy hat! All you have to do is design your own fancy hat that may or may not be added to the game at an uncertain time.
To design your hat, you need a general idea, like a beer helmet or a Indian feather headband. You do not need to include an image. Please do not design a hat that would be extremely hard to find or draw an image for. Then, write a description. Include references. Finally, make the mechanics for the hat (stats).
Your entry will be graded by MrsORaptor, Gobberwart, and me.
The nitty gritty rules...
1. P-Mail me with the title "Hat Contest". If you do not send that title, your submission may not be received.
2. You need a complete submission. Item name, item description, and stats. If you do not send an incomplete submission, you will NOT be entered.
3. Be creative. See the example for inspiration. Your hat can be a good item or a bad item, a rare item or a common item.
4. Submit your hat in the format in the example.
6. You do not have to include an image or where it is obtained from, but it may increase your chances of winning if you do. If your hat creates items (Like the Iron Toque foods), then include what the items do. You do not need to include a description for the items, but if you do it may increase your chances of winning.
7. IF your hat makes it into the game, it can be changed in any way. There is no guarantee that any hat will enter the game, even if you win first place. Your hat can be added to the game at any time. By entering this contest you agree to all these rules.
Example
Mr. top hat
Description: This hat is exactly eleven inches tall, and smells like peanuts. Odd. You should probably keep it away from peanut-allergenic people. It would look good if you wore it with some spats, a monocle, a cane, and some posh gloves.
Bonuses: +11% stat gains, +11% Max HP, +11% Max MP
References: Mr. Peanut (mascot), Mr. Peanut (book), and Mr. Accessory
Of course, there are rewards!
1st place: First pick of hats from my showcase case "Hats"
2nd place: Second pick of hats from "Hats"
3rd place: Third pick of hats from "Hats"
4th place: Fourth pick of hats from "Hats"
Everyone else: A dice will be rolled to pick the next player to get a pick of the hats until there are no more hats, and 50k for everyone who entered
The contest ends on October 1st, so send in your submissions as soon as you can! More hats may be added in my showcase before the 1st of October.

Re: Fancy Hat Contest
Are we going to get to see the winning entries?!?
Re: Fancy Hat Contest
Hats sent. Oh, I forgot about the winning entries, haha! I'll post them here:
1st place:
Item Name: Thinking Cap
Description: Tired of hearing over and over to put your thinking cap on? Now you really can! The good news is that now people will not think you just have grey fluff for brains. Just imagine all the things you can think with this nifty cap. This cap is definitely worth more than 50 cents!
Bonus: +5% to Brains
References: teachers telling you to put your thinking cap on, Winnie the Pooh quote, Dr. Seuss Book Oh the Thinks You Can Think. Caps for Sale, a children’s book by Esphyr Slobodkina.
Image: There are some good images for ideas just Google "thinking cap".
2nd place:
The 'BasssMashter"
This hat is an old canvas hat that is covered in Fishing lures. Note: Be careful when you salute or you might just hook yourself!
Grants a 5 % increase in combat encounters
Randomly (1% chance) catch yourself. Grants 'Hooked Fingers' -2% Dexterity for 5 turns
Reference The note above was a common gag in the 70s TV show M.A.S.H. Col. Henry Blake always wore one, & almost always hooked himself when returning salutes.
3rd place:
C-D Hat
You would think you play music on this hat but no, this is really a Candy Dodgitech Hat. Remember when the Cinema got upgraded and got some X-D movie, well this was supposed to go along with but apparently didn't make the cut. Oh well the smells like sugar and chocolate and it's really comfy.
Stats: 80 power
Notes: Will drop candy at start of combat or rarely at the end.
Candy Effects:
Red- 50% item drops
Blue- 50% brawn stat boost, doubles HP
Green- 50% brains stat boost, Doubles TP
Orange- 50% bravado stat boost
White- 50% Moolah drops
The effects only work for 1 turn (turn you ate the candy).**Can rarely not drop any candy at all at start of combat.
Candy Drops
Strong Candy - Gives 5 turns of Feeling Strong (+5 stat gains to Brawn)
Smrt Candy - Gives 5 turns of Feeling Smrt (+5 stat gains to Brains)
Brave Candy - Gives 5 turns of Feeling Brave (+5 stat gains to Bravado)
-----
Thank you all for entering! (props to phantom491 for entering about 6 times)
I especially liked the concept and jokes of phantoms hat (I showed the winning hat only), the jokes and simplicity of jazzy's hat, and I of course liked the candy from z's hat :mrgreen:
