Feel free to ask questions on this thread.

[woofy]

any specific details on what type of candy or size or anything on building the candy ray?

[dominicolas]

Is there any way to make sure the potential winner will have the recources to take care of the Ray properly? I would hate to see that in a tiny dirty tank, but I guess the people into this site enough to have 300 posts know better huh?

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Go MIKE!!!!!

I would hope that anyone that enters has the means to take care of such a fish, but no, there isn't a way.

very good point!

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Will there be an alternate prize for non-ray states?

[Camshaft Ramrod]

Yeah, Florida is not a very "ray friendly" state.....

[Onion01]

heck, a crap-load of hikari and some MFK paraphanelia should do it

[Gr8KarmaSF]

$$$ :headbang2

food stamps? to buy more candy? - :D

[Onion01]

food stamps? to buy more candy? - :D

:ROFL:

how about the candy rays of the other contestants? YUM

[woofy]

im guessing if u cant house the ray u wouldnt be interested in entering. its 300post not ur average noob i guess right?

[Onion01]

im guessing if u cant house the ray u wouldnt be interested in entering. its 300post not ur average noob i guess right?

i have over 300 and can't house a ray :(

[woofy]

its not THAT having 300 posts makes u have the space for a ray its that having 300posts makes have better judgement and by 300posts u should knw better on if u can house the ray or not.

[Camshaft Ramrod]

Almost all rays are illegal in Florida anyways...

[Onion01]

its not THAT having 300 posts makes u have the space for a ray its that having 300posts makes have better judgement and by 300posts u should knw better on if u can house the ray or not.

unfortunately there is a weak correlation between post count and good judgment

[dominicolas]

im guessing if u cant house the ray u wouldnt be interested in entering. its 300post not ur average noob i guess right?

I think your right, but I'm just worried about the guy who thinks he can house a ray.

[ewurm]

Will there be an alternate prize for non-ray states?

No this contest is only for members that can legally keep the ray. We have other contests running for everyone else, and we have more to come.

[woofy]

i think florida people then are excluded from this contest ....either that or we should get another prize :D:D:D its sound like an interesting contest and task to build a ray out of candy just not sure if i want to go threw the trouble for some food and mfk postcards :p

[AROWANABE]

Guess I better start posting fast. LOL

[ewurm]

its not THAT having 300 posts makes u have the space for a ray its that having 300posts makes have better judgement and by 300posts u should knw better on if u can house the ray or not.

I think your right, but I'm just worried about the guy who thinks he can house a ray.


Post count has no bearing on tank space or proper care. I'm sure that there are members with 3 posts that could keep a ray, and members in the thousands that don't have the means. The post count minimum is to reward active members and to keep someone from joining just to win the contest.

[UNKNOWN_MALONE]

I must say things like this just make this website that much more badass. props guys!!

[dominicolas]

Perhaps if you can't legally or practically keep a ray, you could line up somewhere to sell the ray upon your winning of the contest, and turn that money into your reward... If such a situation were to occur.

Winners in states where rays are illegal are disqualified.

How could you know?

[ewurm]

How could you know?


Shipping address, IP address

[bigspizz]

How could you know?





Did you just ask how someone that is mailing you something, would know where you live?...lol

sorry got a good laugh

[dominicolas]

Let me spell it out for you. Say Woffy (thanks in advance for being a good sport) wanted to be part of the contest. He can't have ray because he is in Florida. He makes a deal with me where I (in texas) can buy the ray if he wins, so I get a ray for a good price and he turns the prize (the ray) into cash. The mailing adress is Texas.

Now, I didn't think about IP adress, but with what I just said, why disqualify those in Florida automatically.

[dominicolas]

Also, you don't know the mailing adress until the person has already won anyway so stop laughing.

[turkeyboy85]

..... let the games begin :)

woofy thinks this idea is to complicated for the mods to go for. they rahter just disqualify and call it a day, otherwise SSHHEEEEEE would think its a good idea.

I am SOOOOOOOO sorry. My original point was that the mods didn't have to know, but then people made me look stupid. You know. And again sorry.

rays are illegal in Texas too. Please save the whining drama and take it somewhere else. Quit beating a dead horse. If rays are illegal in your state, you are disqualified. Sorry, but enter another contest, there are a few going right now.

[Miles]

:iagree:
:popcorn:
:ROFL:

[SovietFireExtinguisher]

I know that I don't have anywhere near the post count because I trolled on here too long, but I do have an appropriate sized eight foot tank. Also no Canucks as well again on this contest. What's up with that. Is it the Asian Arowana thing again?!?!;):ROFL:;):ROFL:

[Druu]

:clap

ewurm: any guidelines for the judging? most creative, most realistic? or just what members vote for? if most realistic, im going fishing for a skate, and I'll just glaze that baby. [That is obviously a joke.]

Any limits as to what can be used? One coherant piece? Multiple pieces of candy arranged on a sheet? Can the candy be melted? I always did like playing around with chocolate. :)

Anything that involves candy should be fine. Be creative. And Druu, I don't really want to know what you like to do with chocolate.

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Start BAKING or write up a poem people!!! :headbang2

[Druu]

And Druu, I don't really want to know what you like to do with chocolate.
:WHOA: If I do enter, you'll not only know, but you'll see it as well!

Same rules as the avatar contest? [Can I enter despite infractions/warnings/ban?]

You guys need to stop looking at what I write in the contest section so seriously and Big Dave, your being a jerk, it's a fun forum, let's keep it that way... and what better thing to do with a dead horse than beat it. It's not like you can ride it anymore.

And Bigspizz, I know.;)

[likestofish]

Start BAKING or write up a poem people!!! :headbang2
i cant im out of flwer and only have sugar so im going with hard candy rays.
also do they have to be freshwater stingrays?

[bigspizz]

i cant im out of flwer and only have sugar so im going with hard candy rays.




His comment was to inform the people in illegal states, that those are the other options, as far as contests, that they can enter at the moment.

[Delhezi222]

How big is the ray?

[Druu]

How big is the ray?

About FREE inches across. :D

[likestofish]

Yes i knew that i was joking a little.

[Delhezi222]

Oh, wow....:ROFL:
That's a size that can't be beat.
Really though, if a mod could let me know I'd appreciate it.

[turkeyboy85]

i cant im out of flwer and only have sugar so im going with hard candy rays.

just to let you know... Ga is illegal as well....

[Bogwoodbruce]

Great concept and prize. Good stuff.

[likestofish]

just to let you know... Ga is illegal as well....

Checked it out and found that they are restictedand can be bought with a permit. Also have been to like five stores with freshwater stingrays.

[turkeyboy85]

most likly atlantic "freshwater stingrays"

[ewurm]

really?:confused:

They are on the banned list, and without a permit we wouldn't be able to ship the fish to GA.

[silverdragon]

Thats an awesome prize! Pity im overseas, Goodluck everyone, looking forward to seeing everyones submissions..

[cnoel08]

yea, how big is the ray?? that would be nice to know.

[Delhezi222]

yea, how big is the ray?? that would be nice to know.

Yeah, I'm still waiting on an answer. :ROFL:
Also, does the ray have to be shipped right away?
For example, say I win, but my tank isn't done cycling yet.
Could I withhold shipment of the ray for a week or two?

[D-Train]

lame haha! even if i had enough posts i couldnt get it... Ahhg! Haha stupid Canada...:irked:

[ewurm]

I'll ask Mike about size, and shipment timeframe is up to him.

[Delhezi222]

I'll ask Mike about size, and shipment timeframe is up to him.


Okay. Thanks a lot wurm.
Let me know when you find out.

[keepinfish]

i am sure it is one that he is selling around 5"..

[likestofish]

ok then :(

[Delhezi222]

i am sure it is one that he is selling around 5"..

I'd imagine so.
I just want to make sure.

[freshwaterfishing]

That is so not fair that only the US is allowed to enter! Theres a slap in the face

[ewurm]

That is so not fair that only the US is allowed to enter! Theres a slap in the face

We had an Asian Aro contest that was off limits to US.

Slap in the face? Your comment slaps this site in the face...There are/have been like 10 contests in the last month. Again I say I am thankful that MFK exists in the first place. To every contest comes rules, and not everyone wins.....

[csx4236]

yea, how big is the ray?? that would be nice to know.

Ray is 5", As for shipping international it is simple to expensive with broker and expprt fees and time it takes for inspection and drop off to a international airport just cant be done. If winner needs sometime to make sure there tank is ready I will hold the ray for up to one month after winner is announced, if the ray dies in my care during that time you lose.

First off i didnt mean for it to sound so bad, I just seen the banner and really wanted to do it then seeing just because i dont live in the US means i cant join gave me goose bumps. Id understand if they wernt allowed here but just to pick and choose who gets to join and who doesnt urks me. I love MFK and have learned so much since ive been here, i never said im not thankful that they exist. The site is wikked and im sure will always be.


We had an Asian Aro contest that was off limits to US.

I never seen that one but is there a reason why the US wasnt allowed to enter like are asian arrowanas not allowed in the US?.

[dominicolas]

That is so not fair that only the US is allowed to enter! Theres a slap in the face

When you think about it, isn't being Canadian a perpetual slap in the face. JK

Asian Aros are illegal here.

[Delhezi222]

Asian Aros are illegal here.

Yeah, among other things.
Snakeheads are another good example.

[freshwaterfishing]

Asian Aros are illegal here.

Then thats a great reason why the contest wasnt allowed there. Why was it decided that only the US was allowed to do this one?

When you think about it, isn't being Canadian a perpetual slap in the face. JK

Well isnt it funny that i can say the same thing about you.

Can your guys maybe throw up a list of states that cannot compete?

[Onion01]

Shipping costs, customs etc. Keep in mind that the owner of the site and the generous sponsors are doing all of this for free, membership is free, etc. Considering all that is being given away at no cost to members who pay nothing, it's a pretty sweet deal.

[Cichlaholics Anonymous]

can't floridians for example get a converted to fw atlantic stingray at least?

[bigspizz]

.....

[thefishguy7]

I'm making a ray tomorrow. :)

[dominicolas]

Well isnt it funny that i can say the same thing about you.




j/k


Yes, you could say to me that being canadian is a perpetual slap in the face... and I would agree. HAHAHAHAHAHA

[cichlaguapote]

Thanks for posting that spizz. Should be a great contest and it's an awesome prize.

[dominicolas]

That's stupid. We can shoot people in their own homes here in Texas, but we can't have rays. BULL

[Tonster]

Awsome Ray!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[woofy]

dang in mississippi too!! grrrr i was gonna ask if we win can we have it shipped to family member elsewhere for their tanks. poop:( im really curious to see the entries though, i wanna see how people will make the rays out of candy lol

[oscarcrazy]

Yes, you could say to me that being canadian is a perpetual slap in the face... and I would agree. HAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHA good one, you got me. Should have reworded that alot better. But deep down you know exactly what i ment lol.

[sour_girl]

I couldnt house a ray even if I won but I am very curious to see what people come up with! Good luck everyone!

[duke33]

so when do i enter :DYeah...I'm laid-off and bored off my azz. I'm gonna go make a ray candy! Look out MFK!:headbang2

[Jamieishard]

im all about this contest...im gonna whip you all up ha ha ... so no candy is off limits???

[oscarcrazy]

im all about this contest...im gonna whip you all up ha ha ... so no candy is off limits???

what kinda candy could possibly considered cheating?

[dominicolas]

what kinda candy could possibly considered cheating?

Ray's Ray chews. The chewey candy made specifically for making rays out of candy to win contests.

[Jamieishard]

what kinda candy could possibly considered cheating?

lol not so much "cheating" but there are deff easy ways to do this... ill keep them to myself ....ha ha i cant wait to see what everyone ends up using....

Guess that would surely give someone an unfair advantage!:ROFL:

[PATSFAN69]

Good Luck everyone!!! Awesome prize to a very cool contest!!!

[Delhezi222]

Just to be sure, we can only submit one picture, right?
I'm so stoked for this contest. This is the one time in my life that I'm glad I watch the Food Channel!

[Delhezi222]

Also, wurm, I hate to bombard you with questions, but can we make only one ray? Could I make 2 or 3, but put them all into one pic?

[Modest_Man]

So what designates candy? If I were to say, make a cake that looked like a stingray and then decorate it in candy would that get me disqualified?

[longislandfish]

how about a 50 post limit?

[sour_girl]

I think cake would fall into the candy category no? It does the same thing to your body that candy does.. just faster! lol

[oscarcrazy]

My thought about candy is that it is a pre-packaged deal. Not that it matters to me, I'm sitting in houston right now, not able to participate. But cake would be for the bakers contest.

[Druu]

My thought about candy is that it is a pre-packaged deal.

I'm hoping these are the rules as well. Out of package and cut, twisted, melted, etc.

[Jamieishard]

thats what im thinking also...see what i meant now.... i told you people would come up with pushing the limit stuff like cake ha ha ....psssh look how close i am to 300 posts lol...i was up to 1,000 but they got taken away....

[turkeyboy85]

eworm i was woundering about the one picture as well, Like i have quite a few ideas and i was planning on taking pictues along the way to show it
Kevin

[Delhezi222]

Okay wurm, I got 3 more questions....

J/K!:p

Anyway, I agree with oscarcrazy and druu. If cake's okay, I'm in trouble...
Let me know the answers to the questions whenever possible wurm. I'm occasionally kinda patient.

[Jamieishard]

yea i vote no on cake.... eff that niose... thats why its called cake and not CANDY....i have a few ideas of how to go about this....

[Druu]

yea i vote no on cake.... eff that niose... thats why its called cake and not CANDY....i have a few ideas of how to go about this....

Oh yeah! It's not going to beat my motorized motoro with the interactive claspers!



j/k. oh HELL no!

[Delhezi222]

Oh yeah! It's not going to beat my motorized motoro with the interactive claspers!



j/k. oh HELL no!

How would you show something interactive in a non-moving picture?:banhim:

I've got some cool ideas, but I've still gotta decide what species of ray to do.

[oscarcrazy]

Oh yeah! It's not going to beat my motorized motoro with the interactive claspers!



j/k. oh HELL no!


druu buddy, that's enough about what you keep under the bed. This is a family site.


I can't compete so I'm ruining it for everybody. I think that along with the pic they need to tell all the candy parts.

[Jamieishard]

ha ha but in the picture how could you show they were even moving...look if i win you can come visit the ray at my house lol....

im havign a hard time picking between candy.... b.c i mean im tyring to eat it while i work... but i dont see a ray made out of kitkats and carmello bars looking to cute..:ROFL:.ha ha ha either way i bet my twin little brothers will eat it when im done.this is deff my favorite contest they have come up with by far....:headbang2

That stinks that you can't compete. I guess that's the law though.
Anyway, I think telling all the candy you used would be a great idea, at least so the mods know that it's legit.

How exactly would you even make a ray out of kit-kats?
I guess you could just shove them all together. Also, I think anybody who just recently got a ray should be disqualified.:raspberry

[Druu]

I'd take it one step further and mandate pics during the construction process. :)

Sounds fine by me. They recommend that for some of the more elaborate cakes in the baking contest also.

Yeah, I am kinda scared that you'll beat me, lol. I'm a 14 year old boy with the creative capabilities of a gerbil. I'll be lucky if I'm able to make a ray that doesn't look like a pancake with eyes.:ROFL:

Dammit, that was my REAL idea! :nilly:

[thefishguy7]

I'd take it one step further and mandate pics during the construction process. :)
I already finished my ray, so that's impossible. Good idea for the next contest though.

Still working on the cake contest. I get things done quickly so I don't need to worry about it later. Also gives me a few weeks to find flaws, add detail, and submit my best work...

Makes sense. I was going to start soon, and just gradually work on it over the days until the deadline.

Size and other variables are still undetermined.

A confection is anything that is sweet, and consumed as a treat...However, a confection can not require cutlery...To get away with using cake, you would have to make petits fours...

[tank125]

The suspense is killing me!

I would think that it would be unwise to mention which one is yours until after polling is over.

[turkeyboy85]

[stingray94]

i agree... then people will know what one is theres I think we should have emailed the ingrediants and how it was made with the pic
