*closed* RRRR - Judged by the cover render contest

Posts: 13,545
It's time for a new RRRR contest
What is RRRR?
RRRR stands for Random Runtime Roulette Renders, and it's a content that has been running for over five years and we invite anyone to enter. This is not the usual "make a very nice render contest" but more like "tell a really great story, often fun, with your render"!
The theme this round is from the ideas by the previous winner of the Funniest, yours truly, and it's Judged by the cover. It can be a book cover, a record (anyone still remember vinyl records?), a cd cover, a video cover, a video game cover, or the blurb image used in your favourite streaming service. Basically, any kind of cover for a book, music, game or movie/series.
How does it work?
Make your pull of 4 items, pull your LBs (Luck Bastards), the current lucky bastard standing is below, and make some great and fun images, it’s not harder than that.
Who can play?
Anyone can play!
How do you prepare yourself for play?
The rules are very simple, but first you need to have all your items in some kind of order in a text file, dumped from the itemized history into a text file or a spread sheet. Remove things like software, gift certs, and special plugins from the list.
Then you use a randomizer to randomly pick items from your list (your Runtime/My Library) for your start pull . You can use items from any store.
Randomizer that works well:
Random Org
Randomizer where you get all numbers in one draw: random
There are some situations where you allowed to redraw, these are:
- You picked something that doesn’t work, broken thing, only works in a version / software not used etc etc.
- You picked a software or add-on to a software or anything you should have filtered out from the list.
- You picked only huge environment props and will not be able to render a scene without crashing.
- You picked an item you already have been using in two RRRR renders in this content and that was picked randomly. Three is a curse - rule!
Lucky Bastard Rule!
If you have sticky lucky bastards, you pull one extra item for each LB you have, simple as that.
Explaination of Lucky Bastards.
Lucky Bastards, or LBs, are a form of handicap system which makes the contest a little more difficult for those who have won.
Current Lucky Bastard standing
| Player | LB Count |
|---|---|
| Totte | 3 |
| Gopherus | 3 |
| Luci45 | 1 |
A reminder about the LB thawing rules.
(1) You will never pull more than 7 LBs, even if you have 12, never pull more that 7, seven is the number you never pull more than.
(2) You always lose half of the new LBs at every thawing (between rounds), this is to prevent the LBs from being too sticky.
(3) You need to make at least one entry for thawing to be in place.
How to play?
You pull, you compose and you Render. You post your images and pulls in this thread, but the entry should be posted in the Entries only thread
Bundles
If you pull a bundle, use two three complete items from it, or more if you like, but you do not need to use all, but only picking a hairpin from V4 Complete Bundle is “too little”. Clarification: A bundle still counts as only one pulled item.
Poses, Expressions and textures/colors
If you pull a pose pack, an expression pack or a texture/color pack, you only need to use one of them, not all. For example if you pull 500 expressions for V4, use one, if you pull 128 colors for Frappe Hair, use one.
Accidenty breaking the TOS
If your entry is removed by the forum mods because it accidentally, not deliberate, broke the TOS, you do not have to redo that entry but can move on and make a new pull.
The rules of madness!
Now you have successfully and randomly picked your items, make a scene, you can add other items as well but the one you picked should be prominent or cleverly used. Render it, post it and make us all laugh! Remember though that the renders must follow the TOS of the forum. As we have a theme on the contest, the render should in some way touch that theme.
The contest categories!
There are two categories Best and Funniest. Every image will compete in both categories.
Contest duration!
It starts now at Saturday February 17 2018 , and will go on until Sunday April 1st 2018 at 23:59:59 local DAZ time.
Yes, we have prizes, thanks to our sponsors!
This months sponsors so far:
Totte is sponsoring with two items from his store
Dumor3D is sponsoring with two items from his store
Karibou is sponsoring with a $20 DAZ GC
RRRR is looking for more sponsors, so if you're a PA or just a happy person, please consider sponsoring, and sponsors plays for keep remember.
More to know?
I will edit this when new info on sponsors arrive.
Do you want to sponsor the RRRR?
Please chip in, sponsors can play, they are even encouraged to play!
Maximum number of entries?
As we had seriously fun last round, I go for a no limits round this time too, and someof you might even see a christmas tree.

Oh this theme seems like a really fun one I am so hoping to join in this time around, but only time will tell!
Great theme. I didn't get one in last time, but I hope to participate this time.
EDIT: I am sorting my content by install date. I will be pulling from the most recent half of my content. No more Stephanie 3 petite elite skin shader sets.
EDIT 2: The randomness of the universe has a sense of humor. I limited my pull to my most recent 3000 items in order to use more recent stuff. Three of my four selections were in the 2000s. Having said that, no complaints. A very friendly pull, all in all.

As the safari buiolt in spellchecker doesn't work in the forum edit box (turned off by javascript for some stupid reason), it was a typo of "thawing".

What else would you put in a Bass-in-net?
Belle was in a family way. Her friend Monique thought that it would be hilarious to throw her a combo baby shower - bridal shower… and to have a stork and an exotic dancer spring out of a bassinette to surprise her. Monique should have gotten the cake. She didn t count on Belle s idiot brother Jayne who thought that a bass-in-net was a place to keep the days catch until his sister had time to clean it. If you wanted to put a baby in it wouldn t it be called a Babe-in-Net?
Jayne would like to thank Totte for his fishing gear and Beat578 for his cap.

Judged By Dedes Size
Dede couldn't help being the size she was even though she was the only one in her family who was 8 foot tall. Everyone who saw her for the first time was definately scared of her. Even her best friend Darla was a bit scared of her. Loni and Carrie didn't even pay any attention to her when she passed by them swinging on their favorite swing. Shandra decided to take on Dede not thinking about those around her.

So "Judged by the Cover" can be a sort of 'appreances can be decieving' or 'don't judge a book by its cover' play on words kind of thing?
Sorry, if I'm kind of slow on the uptake sometimes.
This one's going to be hard! Updating runtime library... : )
@ Luci, Gopherus & Saphirewild
Great stuff! Kind of gives me an idea of how to play it this time!
best
--Bruce
I took the "don't judge the book by the cover", but as we're judging renders (covers) so yes, it's a play with words
Thanks, Gopherus and Totte. LOL, once Mssr LeFou had on the derby I had to add the moustache. His name fits him as he doesn't know that the Hitchhiker's Guide has all the information and more contained in his book.

Title: The road to Kwai
Blurb: We follow two sisters in thier effort to follow in thier great grandfathers tracks to the infamous bridge over the River Kwai, and how they fall in love with the same man, the refreshment seller at the tourist camp at the bridge.
