For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

It's no problem, WIS. I think he said Tuesday or Wednesday.


Tuesday is today, so it is a problem. :(


It's still Monday where I am.... I don't know what time schedule theonlysaneone's on, though.

So we'll have to hurry up. Justin case.

I'm in the Central Time Zone-- the ONLY time zone. As of this post, it's still about 10:20 PM where I am, so set your watches accordingly. (You can see when I made this post by looking up at the top of the box). I'll want these graphics done by midnight my time on Wednesday, which should be plenty of time. If y'all are happy with the graphics you've got, then that's fine and you can finish early. However, you can still make improvements and changes until then.

I'm going to go ahead and tell you THREE out of five of the ways I'm going to judge them:

Do they reflect the team's theme/name?
Do they represent every person on your team?
Are they funny/creative?

Each will be scored out of 10, for a total possible score of 50. Then, I'll take the sum of both scores and multiply it by 100, and add that to the pot. Afterwards, I'll give more details about the *special prize*

Quick, everyone, go get freckles! :lol:

I'm okay with that image. I thought you were going to include the road and stuff. You should use more cheery colours though, it's quite dark right now.

I've got freckles!!

I agree, I like the graphic, just maybe a little cheery-er? IF that's a word...

Sorry, no freckles here. ;) You can use the squirrel in my sig for me, if it fits the theme. :) Otherwise, I can wrangle up some images I use on another site.

Remember, that deadline is coming fast, and if you haven't finished, it'll hit you like a train.

Wed Mar 15, 2006 7:07 pm

My apologies, WIS, I wanted to get this image within the set boundries before time expires. If you're still working on the image, just post it after mine, and that will be the official image. :)


This is just about all I could do with my GIMP skills, but it includes all of our names.

For some reason, photobucket resized it. It was 400x400, but now it's 200x200. I don't know what else to do, but if you squint reeeeeeeeeeal hard you can make out our names. :P

It's judgin' time!

And the criteria are...

Does it reflect the team's theme/name?
Does it represent every person on your team?
Is it funny/creative?
Is there a use of pictures taken in the real world?
Would it look good on a T-shirt?

For the B-Sharps:
It gets a 10/10 for reflecting the team name, because it's right on there. That was easy. It gets 8/10 for representing each and every person, because the giant pixelated mushroom, though a nice idea, is kind of hard to see. I like the creative use of the cartoon character to represent Noo, as well as the temple. However, it's not particularly humrous, so it gets 6/10 there. It got an extra point for the Simpsons reference. It uses tons of real world objects in the graphic, which is cool. I especially like the wolf. 9/10. Would it look good on a T-shirt? Maybe. This would look better on a white T-shirt, because of the border. The names wouldn't be very visible, but the details would look nice. 7/10.

For the Cheery Tomatoes:
Again, it gets 10/10 for reflecting the team name. However, for representing each person, it's just not enough to put each person's name on there. 5/10. The giant tomato is very funny, and I like the Neopets item reference, so it gets more points for that. 8/10. Again, the real world graphic is cool, but it doesn't use as many as the blue team's. 6/10. Finally, this would look better blended into a red T-shirt, with the intricate line design and everything. 8/10.

Conclusion: Both graphics are awesome, but only one can win. The B-Sharps got 40 points, and the Cheery Tomatoes got 37. That means the winner is...



















We don't know yet. Twist time!!!

I withheld this so far, except for a brief mention: Bonus points. The B-Sharps were the first to be done, so they get 5 bonus points. However, the Cheery Tomatoes were the only ones to actually post the picture on the thread, as per my instructions, so I'll give them 5 bonus points too. The B-Sharps still win. I scared you for a second, though, didn't I? The B-Sharps got 45 point, and the Cheery Tomatoes got 42. That means I'll be adding 8700 points to the pot!

The pot currently stands at 37900 points.

There's one more part to this. The B-Sharps, who won, have to vote on the MVP for this challenge. That person should be the one who did the majority of the work, and will win a special prize. The voting must be done here, and bolded. Think like Werewolf, but only B-Sharps can vote.

I know you won't be giving anything away, but how long until the first quiz? :P

As soon as I get all the votes. Maybe sooner. I'm already working on it.
