Now that I won that one contest, I guess I'm obligated to do something with my new abilities, huh? Well...
So, it appears that CPMC has fallen upon harsh times lately, what with the famine and drought going around. I don't know about you all, but I'm not too fond of the swarms of locusts running around everywhere either. One must wonder the cause of all this is, and it's quite clear to me that it is the result of the Deities deserting you hopeless pagans for your lack of faith. Really, only a select few (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?action=groups;sa=members;group=17) of you seem to even have favor with them these days, and that's just saddening. But fear not, for I have devised a plan to win over the Deities again so we can end this depression.
Now, before I get to the point, I'll have you all know that I am a very busy miko. Despite only being promoted to Maiden status a few hours ago (derp), I'm already swamped with shrine cleaning duty since the janitors apparently leave the burden of Idiot Deity Shrine's conditions to the Idiot Maidens for some reason. Since I don't really have to time to work on things like this right now, I want the remaining followers of the Idiot Deities to make something that will advertise the shrine in my place, returning the denizens of CPMC to their faith. I'm not actually going to be specific on what form it should be in, I'm cool with pretty pictures or text (you could even make printable fliers or fake internet ads or something). I just want to see effort and creativity put into it, and that's what I'll be judging you all on. In case it wasn't already obvious, the winner will be adopted into the Idiot family and become an Idiot Princess somehow (not too sure how that works, I'm still pretty new to this whole Idiot Maiden thing).
Summed up: Create something that advertises the shrine of the Idiot Deities (Donut and Suikama). I don't care what form the advertisement is in as long as it's creative and you put effort into it, but it still needs to effectively promote the shrine and amuse me somewhat.
You have until Saturday 17th. I'm not too big on hours in terms of deadlines, so just assume I'll end it on that day at whatever time I want. Best of luck, and feel free to ask me any questions if I wasn't clear enough.

Have you SEEN the messes that Donut and Suikama make? Sheesh, they don't pay us Janitors enough. A little bit of cleaning is good for the soul :D
Now get back to work huh what or I swear i'll
[donut]Get back to work before you find yourself a janitor without a shrine~ :D[/donut]
Go ahead and self-destruct your own shrine, see how much it affects me. :D Hope you enjoy living in a box!

If someone can link me to a full body picture of Donut and Suikama, I can have an insanely badass image that advertises what they are perfectly.

Nobu's post up there is fascinating to read the post history for.
Also, Rurosaka Shrine > Suikanut Shrine. [ruro]Saying otherwise would be a lie, and I cannot bring myself to lie :<[/ruro]
<Suikama> Oh man "Suikanut"? How fitting :3 Also I need my own tag. With rainbow colors.

Well, that's two entries, but that's not nearly enough, so keep 'em coming, people.
-
Halfassed entry is halfassed (also I suck at Photoshop, so). And I'm not really sure if it qualifies as NSFW, but just to be on the safe side:

...Well, it's a perfectly legitimate reason to worship them, right~? Right!?

Well, that's three now.
May as well just award it to Axman, his was the best.

Wow, JT.
Are those clips of people yours, or do you actively search for videos children pretending to be enthused while they're not on youtube?
-
The related videos just make this one more hilarious, and more confusing.

The kids are my friend's little brother and sister, from an earlier project we did together. Everything else I found on YouTube.

T'would take a lot to top that.

Holy smokes I think I have an idea. Almost certainly not gonna win (and it's gonna be damned hard to do it without waking everyone up) but I'll see if I can finish it before the arbitrary deadline.
EDIT:
IT IS DONE! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BtvaQgMhWE) FINALLY!

Does Letty hang out at the shrine?

Apologies for being rather late with my judging, there's been a lot of cleaning to do around the shrine still. I swear the deities intentionally make this place a mess just to toy with me. Is this the rite of passage here or something? It doesn't help that apparently the previous maidens forgot to take their belongings with them (these stolen socks and Koishi porn mags are going to give the shrine a bad rep if anybody notices them) and I had to spend a whole day cleaning them out. But enough of my personal life story, I suppose you're all waiting for the judge's comments, right?
First of all, axman36's entry! * Applause *
Or not, because Matsuri already gave him Idiot Princess before the judging. Hmph. Next?
Thundr: I am somewhat confused why you seem to associate our resident deities with buildings blowing up. That does not bring them good street cred. Also, the fact that Suikama's name is in all caps and Donut's is not seems to suggest that you favor one deity over the other and intend to shower them with more praise. This seems like a terrible idea to me, since last time Suikama and Donut got into an argument over who is more important as a deity (Yes, this happened in some thread from a while back! Really, it did! You just didn't notice it.) it resulted in the destruction of the half of the shrine, resulting in more for me to clean up, so uh, no thanks.
Moerin: While I do have a firm understanding of the saying "Sex Sells", I fail to see why sexual exploitation of a Deity should be required just to promote a shrine. Last time I checked, Donut is above levels that only Kanako would drop down to in an attempt to gather faith. Also, do you know who Suikama is? Donut isn't the only deity in this shrine, otherwise I would probably have a lot less to take care of around here. Maybe if you had included both Suikama and Donut in this picture, I would have given you a little more grace here. Especially if it was Suikama X Donut instead. (Also, I'm not too sure how Nwbi would feel about his art being used to advertise a shrine. Let's just assume nobody cares about him because I want to get onto the next entry already.)
Purvis: I'm very impressed that you managed to get Cirno and Mystia to pose for the photo (especially considering how they are fictional characters. You must have some serious skills), but the blatant discrimination against overweight people ruins it. While I can't say anybody at the shrine is particularily fond of fat people (though I dunno, if sneakers and the feeling of friction get Suikama's motor running, who knows what else does?), this image will cause us to be perceived as discriminating and unfriendly towards the masses, which would have the opposite of the effect that I am looking for. Sorry.
Mimeslayer: Hmm... this doesn't seem too baFFFFFFFFFFF WHAT IS THAT AAAA THAT IS DISTURBING PLEASE DO NOT PUT PICTURES LIKE THAT IN VIDEOS THAT WILL BE SHOWN TO INNOCENT CHILDREN IT WILL GIVE THEM NIGHTMARES AND I AM ON THE VERGE OF HAVING NIGHTMARES MYSELF SERIOUSLY THAT IS CREEPY WHAT IS IT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE IS IT A GAP SNAKE OR SOMETHING BECAUSE ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT MADE ME FORGET HOW TO USE PROPER PUNCTUATION ALSO IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEITIES AT ALL I AM CONFUSE oh good it went away. Awww that picture of Gengetsu is adorable :*
Other than that, the description seems fairly well written, but your voice comes across as somewhat muffled and it's kind of hard to understand without turning the volume way up (for me at least, there's a bit of background noise in this room right now so that might be affecting it). You might have done better if you spoke a bit more clearly (and didn't include that picture. I did not expect that :< )
JT: I am actually surprised by all the small details you got correct in this video. It is indeed a little known fact that our two deities often save young children from crashing their bicycle into a tree, and I am impressed that you integrated that into your advertisement. However, it is rather saddening that you made a video about two people who you barely even know. Your lack of knowledge on who the deities are just proves my earlier point about CPMC's lack of faith. I find it somewhat unlikely that you even own our commemorative plate, even though you worked that into the video (those plates have been manufactured by the shrine for years, I'm surprised they do not get much more publicity). Additionally, it may not have been the greatest idea to list all the dangerous side effects of CPMC. We should let people learn about those AFTER they donate. :smug: But aside from those flaws, this was rather well put together, and I can see you at least put some amount of effort into it (but I can't tell how much. Recycling old clips, hmm?). Out of all the entries, it seems like this would be the most effective at winning viewers over, so congrats, you win IP!
Well, thanks for entering, everybody. If Axman didn't already win IP for that one :V post I probably would have awarded it to both him and JT, because both of their entries were really amusing and well-done imo. Starting contests is actually pretty fun, might do this again sometime if I think up an idea. But for now, I have to get back to cleaning this gosh darned shrine. Nobu, would you mind if I borrow your broom for a bit?
(Also the blurbs of text weren't actually how I judged the entries. I just thought they'd be less boring than posting a scoring system. Hurrrrr durrr.)

WOOOOOO PARTY TIME! LET'S ALL DO CARBOMBS AND HEADBANG AND
wait why am i still orange

wait why am i still orange
idk what you're talking about

Members are gray now silly
You were never orange.

Also holy shit that video was awesome and I can't believe I hadn't seen it before oh wooooooooooooow
Yeah, JT definitely wins, great job.
-
Good job JT broski o/
But for now, I have to get back to cleaning this gosh darned shrine. Nobu, would you mind if I borrow your broom for a bit?
Sorry, you don't have the magic potential needed to wield it. :< It might damage your Linker Core if you were to even try.

;_;
I hate you all.

Even me, bro?!

On the other hand, the history of advertising. Exclusion works like you wouldn't believe, it gives the people who partake that they're not part of the excluded. Not only that, an enforcement on a fat chicks ban will only serve to increase popularity. Mine's the only one that's gonna work.
Who hired this mook?
-
My only regret is the fact that I couldn't find a fanservicey picture of Iji-Suikama. Hell, I don't even care that I lost, as I admitted my entry was half-assed. Congrats, JT, you earned it~!
-
I don't think one exists. The programmers don't get enough fanart, which makes me sad since I like their designs a lot.
-
You might have done better if you spoke a bit more clearly (and didn't include that picture. I did not expect that :< )
For the first, yeah that's what I get for doing this at 1 in the morning. Exhaustion and not wanting to wake anyone up hurt (as well as the fact that I was basically learning Audacity on the fly).
For the latter: :dealwithit:
I knew it would be hard to beat JT (I have 0 idea what axman did due to private setting) but I had fun doing it. He definitely earned it though, so congratulations!!!
I hope it was an enjoyable submission at least (Erebus art aside >:D).
