What if someone writes

 

Total colors 4

 

but he mis-reads it and there are 5 colors tongue.gif

 

The post with the max colors discovered will Win..

 

  • If a player has found the max no of colors in a post... but the actual post contained more colors.. his post will still win.. as he discovered the max colors than the rest members.
  • If a player has found the max no of colors in a post.. but the actual post contained less colors.. his entry is invalid.
  • Declaration of color count matters which will be checked upon his entry post.

Does signature count?

 

 

Also, will the entry be invalid if there is even a single image in the post?

:doh: signature won't count

 

A post can have images with the content.. It's the colors used in text that matters.. Any text that is represented by a image will not counted.. Also the post has to not include even a single emoticon.

 

I suppose original posts of these Christmas contests aren't eligible. They sure have lots of colors. :P/>

 

It wud have been accounted but since u have given hint directly in here.. Have to unfortunately keep [HIP] posts as not acceptable entries now.

 

Henceforth any member giving any kind of hint in thread as well will be dq.
