Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Contest Smileys

Ok, I know everyone else has maybe thought about this, thought, 'Eh, if I can't get it the normal way, it doesn't count. //forums.everybodyedits.com/img/smilies/tongue ' and just went on with their day or something.

Now I don't want anyone to think I'm stupid for not realizing the OBVIOUS solution to this dilemma, 'Just shut up about it', but there's these few smileys that have been irritating me not only because they're good smileys I can't figure out how to get, but how other people have them too.

These smileys are known as Contest smileys.

Now, I know there are a few, like the Fox, Night Vision and that dude with the beard that I never remember his name(Sensei or something?), but some contest smileys, like the Bird and Bunny, just aren't in the shop at all.

Listed in the smiley list on the Wikia website for EE as 'Obtained from Contest', these smileys appeared briefly in the shop before disappearing at the end of the season and simply not reappearing until the lucky souls who got them would use them. They don't even appear in Classic Smilies. //forums.everybodyedits.com/img/smilies/mad

Now, excuse me for my rant(I might go and have a coffee break //forums.everybodyedits.com/img/smilies/tongue ), but I just couldn't get over this. Please tell me why this happens and how to get these rare smileys, because I couldn't help but ask.

That and this is my first forum post. //forums.everybodyedits.com/img/smilies/cool

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go play EE. Seeya //forums.everybodyedits.com/img/smilies/big_smile

They were given away to winners of world contests, a very long time ago. There is no way to get one now currently, although it would be awesome if there was.

EDIT: They were never in the energy shop.

Re: Contest Smileys

the old man, fox, and night vision smileys were not "contest smileys". they were part of a make a smiley contest, the winner of which would be put ingame. but three won so three were put ingame.

contest smileys are smileys people win from contests. unlike the above which were not prizes.

Re: Contest Smileys

Bird, Bunny, Pumpkin, and Lit Pumpkin were won from a contest (easter levels and halloween levels)

the fox etc were made for a contest (to create a smiley)

i... can see why that might be confusing.

also welcome to the forums!

Re: Contest Smileys

Will there ever be another day when we can get those back to be won? Maybe during a week in the season you will get the smiley to play with, but not keep.

Re: Contest Smileys

I don't think it would be a good idea to make contest prize smileys available again. It will decrease their value, aka they're not so rare anymore and people with them are not so cool because everyone can get them now

When the contest winners received those smileys, they were told that they would never be made available again. I'd like to stick by that.

Let's say you won some contest back in 2010 or 2011 (not sure whether there was a contest in 2010 or not, but that's not the point anyways)
You got an unique smiley as a reward. You were proud of it for years. Now, 5 years later developers make another contest and more people win this smiley. Or just make it available in classics tab. Or as a campaign reward. How would you feel?

I think these smileys are very special, but I feel one day this will be released on shop like the Artist smileys and the Night Vision (correct me if I am wrong) and anothers news ones will be made for Halloween or Easter contest.

Re: Contest Smileys

I wasn't suggesting the smileys to become campaign rewards, **couch cough Purple Ghost** but instead for all players to be able to play with it for  few days. I wouldn't really call making a smiley be for everyone for one week out of fify-two 'making it available'.

Besides the contest winners would keep the smiley,noone else would.

Doesn't seem like Artist is in the shop and the Night Vision is not a contest PRIZE for the winner, it's a smiley that has been made by a winner and added into game as a regular smiley

What for? it will be just everyone wearing that smiley and there would be no real purpose for that

Re: Contest Smileys

I think fanboy(s) should be available to all but contest smileys should stay unavailable (but more contests rewarding them would be ok imo, but it could be bad)

Crown smiley? Do you mean the normal one we can get by touching the crown block?

And yes, I wish upsidedown smiley back as a magic feature.

Did you know that the contest smileys are 'contest' smileys and not 'master1 and the other few guys only' smileys?
They should be available for contest winners every year, that wouldn't add that many players to the list anyways.

But this is the truth. There are no official contests because not a single admin is interested in organizing one anymore, even though they know how awesome it was back in the day.

I like to see that as:

Re: Contest Smileys

I am saying that a lot of people can participate in contest and win, a lot of people can do a lot better than the previous winners now that there are more possibilities.

The only advantage the current winners have is that the contest happened years ago and that now there are no more contests.

My question is why.
Why can't people do the same thing to obtain the smileys now.

Do all individual contests needs their exclusive smileys? This year the last smiley halloween themed I could think of in weeks was used: the mummy. (I planned on suggesting a good smiley)
What will happen next year? Will the princess smiley be a halloween smiley? It is the scariest of them all.

Point is, good, you won the smiley, you have won in the halloween contest. Now you can wander around stuffing the fact in people's faces that you joined earlier, you are better. Yeah sure.
"Look at my smiley." B)
"Oh, cool, how do I get it?"
"You can't."
"Why?"
"Because you were too late. And it will never happen again. Ever."
Flawless logic.






I don't see why it would be unfair for the actual winners since other people have to win the contest too.

Re: Contest Smileys

how about instead of giving away the contest smileys make a new contest, but the smileys are recolors

so a bunny with blue ears, a bird with a darker beak, a pumpkin with a different face carved out

I never received a contest smiley but I think master1 is right. It should remain with the winners otherwise the promise that it would be exclusive to them would be made null.
