1. Got questions? Ask them here.

   • ive got a question, where do you get all of those weapons?

     • Most of the weapons I use in the comic are BrickArms, BrickForge, or BrickWarriors. All third-party accessory makers, and all very cool people to work with.

       For instance. I recently placed an order from BrickForge, and two items were left off. I emailed them asking if they could just add them to my next order or credit my account, or whatever. They said they would make it right, and two days later I got the missing items, plus some extra stuff. Awesome people.

       • sweet, cause i’d love a LEGO machine gun, for my web comic, i’m down to using MEGA BLOX weapons, mostly ones from HALO

       • BrickArms makes several different machine guns. Check out GI Brick, they’re the reseller I work with. Really good people, reasonable prices, and fast shipping.

2. Did I win yet?

   • No, not yet.

     • Well, shitballs! Did you like my statue I made for the contest?

     • While I haven’t seen it, I can just imagine.

       …it’s glorious.

3. Does the game box/ poster have to be real, or can the be drawen on a piece of paper, or made on computer?

   • You can create it any way you like: computer, hand drawn, photography, built in LEGO, etc.

4. Hello everybody! I am new here.

   • Welcome!

5. Where do we enter the movie poster/video game box?

   • Hey Jasmine, they need to be submitted to the Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/botd-adaptation-challenge/

6. Hi for the video game boxart bonus features do we include them on the box?

   • That’s completely up to you. You can include characters, just zombies, or go for something more obscure.

7. Signing up for Flickr is another big hassle. Would it be alright if Brikwarrior PM’d my entry to you? Could you maybe add it to Flickr then?

   • What sort of problems are you having signing up with Flickr?

     • Like, reading the terms of service and privacy policy… I know a lot of people skip them, but I it’s the law to read them, and they’re so loooong and uniteresting and they all say the same thing except for slight variations and you have to read the whole thing to get to those slight variations.
       Wrighting that made me realise just how rediculous my complaint was…
       I’ll read them. If I’m old enough.

     • Hah, sounds like a plan. If you’re not old enough let me know.

     • Just incase you don’t get my email, please let me know here.

     • I got it, Colonel. I’ll try to get it posted on Flickr for you this afternoon when I have a few minutes.

8. Okay.

   • Okay!

9. I….AM…..GETTING……THAT…..VIDEO GAME!!!!!!! (make it for x-box 360 🙂 )

   • Excellent!

     I hope you make up some box art for the contest.

10. Sounds like a great contest! Two questions though… Firstly, do we need to use characters from this webcomic in the posters?

    And second, we ARE allowed to enter something in each category?

    THanks.

    • Thanks CountZeppelin

      1. No, you do not have to use my characters if you don’t want to. Like any adaptation, things get changed from the original. In fact, I think someone could have some fun making a ton of unnecessary changes from my comic to the movie/game. Go nuts!

      2. You can absolutely enter both categories if you want.

11. Okay, thanks!

12. Another question I forgot to ask – If we were to make bonus features like screen shots but don’t want to put them on the box art, do we post them in the group pool?

    • That’s a really a really good question. Yes, go ahead and post them in the group pool.

      If the four photos per day limit is a problem for anyone, let me know and I can bump it up.

13. I got another quick question. Do we get the freebies from the Brickarms order if we win? 😉

    • I had another question I forgot to out with the other. Does the video game/ movie cover have to have a back as well as a front, or can it just be the front?

      • Hah, the freebies have already been pressed into service I’m afraid.

        All that’s required is the front, but if you want to do the back/side and really flesh out the packaging, then that would be cool.

14. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh zombies hhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh helppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaahah zombied world ah

    • I like your enthusiasm. Now go enter my contest.

15. Is it okay if we make our poster and videogame similar but with a few modifications or do we have to make completely different entries.
    Also can do your characters have a sort of signature weapon they like to use so each of them will have the right fitting weapon on my adaptations 🙂
    Thanks!

    • You can make them similar, as thought they were released in tandem, but I would make sure they’re both distinct.

      They do sort of have signature weapons: Cheryl’s got a baseball bat, Sam has a crowbar, Stewart uses a machete, and Shannon has a hatchet. Murphy has a gun presently, but it’s not terribly useful as it’s out of ammo.

16. Ive made a poster but how do I enter?

    • Can’t wait to see it. All you need to do is put it in this Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/botd-adaptation-challenge/

      • Well now ive entered!
        Mine is the one by BrickNicholson

      • Excellent!

17. So, is the 100 episode gonna be the last?

    • Nope, just a milestone.

      • Cool.

18. hi, can anyone tell me the address I can send it to. It because I have made one and it is the type that cannot be taken a picture of. Thanks
    tom
    p.s. can you send the answer to my email-
    [email protected]

19. Is there a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place?

    • There will be one winner in each category.

20. I just submitted mine. It’s pretty bad, and I also just noticed that the entry ‘Bricks of the Dead’ was submitted for Colonel, and it’s an actual entry, not an example. So it’s pretty much over. 😛

    • It’s still anyone’s game; you never know what the judges will like.

21. I believe it’s over. I’m eager to see who won.

    • Not until Monday. So we’ve got a couple more days.

22. How long does it take to judge which is the best?

    • I hope not more than a few days. We’ve only got three judges so it should go pretty quickly.

23. What!? I thought It ended the ninth? I don’t stand a chance against that 3D wizard, so I won’t enter the movie category anyway.
    I think I stand a pretty good chance in the Video Game category though.

    All these people using Photoshop… it makes me so sad. D: GIMP is the way to go.

    (Now that I’m old enough, maybe I should make myself a Flickr account…)

    Oh, and, Thanks Bren. *Returns High-five*

    • I was supposed to end on the 9th, but I accidentally put the 14th in another advertisement, so it’s going to stay open another few days. My fault.

24. So………who won?

    • We’ll find out very soon.

25. Where will the winners be announced?

    • Here, facebook, twitter, this site’s blog, and probably the BCN.

26. You should probably also announce it on our flickr page, just so everybody gets the word.

    • That’s a good idea; I’ll do that.

27. Is there a specific date for the announcement?

    • Just waiting to hear back from one judge. Hopefully posting the winners tomorrow morning.

      • awesomesauce! I shall wait patiently 🙂 I think all the people who entered did a dandy job 🙂

      • And I shall wait impatiently. :3

      • Wait no further!
