I like that "Immunity Pass" idea!

I am right here, no need to ask in theoritical third person.

I have been told some pretty harsh things (usually with more expletives or exciting albeit mean-spirited fairytale stories) about my work or me in general on the boards. Not to mention I have been flamed for me entering this contest more then once in PMs, so I take it all with a grain of salt anymore. Then again, I post to the PvP boards too where no one gets a word in unscathed. lols

As for your comments Caemgen, I agree with a lot of it. "For fun" to me though is "enjoyment" - I enjoy doing art in general, hence art contests like this are typically fun for me no matter what (I chose to do this contest as an incentive for me to do some different works - even if I am out, I would still try and do something for the month just because). Admittedly the competitor in me pushes me maybe more then it should and while I am VERY grateful to immunity, all I was saying is that it's unfortunate that it has the potential to alter votes. And I definitely agree, that bias can't be completely weeded out in something like this...that's pretty much an understood given. On a side note, I think Wassy has been very consistent with how she has been running this and I am having a good time - thanks Wassy!

Ya, this vote was brutal blunt...sorry, but I did laugh too a bit simply because of its amazing brashness. As for the theme comment TA, ya I think that is the BIG misunderstanding on this month. The rule was to use kindergarten art supplies, but no where (unless I totally missed it) did it specifically say the art was to actually LOOK like a kindergarten child's artwork. Also, I was surprised how much this post got hit with the "troll" spray when previous posts here and in other art threads have been similarly critical with overly detailed and exacting criticism albeit the sarcasm. At least with the over-the-top sarcasm you can pretty much laugh it off, where the more sincere-toned but exacting criticism can be taken more personal because it comes off more serious.

On a side note, I think I tend to agree with it kinda of sucking that people with immunity actually get dismissed by some of the voters. I mean no disrespect here, but this is an art contest right? Regardless of immunity, the votes should be based on artistic merit and not "push down the list" simply because of immunity. That pretty much reinforces the bias of popularity contest versus art contest. For this month, I could of easily done a stick figure with bewbs with crayon and an arachnos tatt out of glitter since apparently it didn't matter. Honestly, this month was not one I looked forward to and I could of dismissed it all together because of my immunity but instead I approached this like I have the previous months and put some effort into it. In addition, this thought process not only discourages the one with immunity but if there really is a month coming up that will allow those back in that dropped out, eliminated etc. - then what is the point of putting effort into this at all until that month comes around? Just something to think about...

Anyways, I hated to post this here as it is hypocritical of me since I prefer only seeing "votes" here, but it seemed appropriate with the previous recent commentary.

Again, good luck all on the final day of voting!

Ironically, I have red hair and horns...

But, ya that is a whole other can of worms. If you're a dude and your main is a RP chick toon. In my book, you're forever referred to as a chick. That really isn't meant to be insulting...I just assume if you want to play a girl and be known as a girl on the game and boards, that's cool (man or woman) whatever floats your boat and all. But ya, I do find it amusing CR.

I figured by the time I did sober up, someone would have posted one of two things: 1) tickets for a cage match or 2) coupon for a free night stay at the local motel for the two main contenders to work out their arguments one-on-one. lols

Oh...OK, I was pretty tired when I was trying to figure out what was goin on at his feet. But ya, I like the construction ones like Scoot's and Bubba's.

I agree with Caemgen, I would of sworn construction paper was A LOT more heavier/thicker then it is now. I like the hanging from the the fridge thing too lols.

Gigantor the space age robot...

GGs lastnight dUmb.

I am the same...I cringed buying two boxes of crayons as I knew I would destroy the single black and white crayon in one box. I don't think they sell crayola crayons individually - oh well. I find it ironic that we balk at buying some kid art supplies, but will blow money on all sorts of junk without thinking much about it.

And Bindweed, your maker sketch is really fantastic - nicely done!

This...

I guess "copy and paste" doesn't equal "threw together quickly", but apparently I only understand Chinese. Should Divine be punished with 2 hours of alone RP captain time? Maybe, but according to the above he shouldn't have to. lols

Fair enough, but the apparently understanding the word mini does take a genius. So if we take a step further back, the car in question is a 5 seater...not an 8. Again, the OP is asking for interest in a 5v5 mini...she is not asking for suggestions on which format (in our example a car) to make next. So splitting hairs about whether the car is for sale or not quite on the market is irrelevant.

If this current league is any indicator of new d6rs being able to play with d8, then Xanatos' argument goes out the window too. More teams have complained about being forced to play d6rs on there d8s then I can count. I've been lucky to get as much d8 play as I have imo. So, more then likely history will repeat itself like it always does and those new d6rs will make for great new d8 bench warmers in most cases. The only pro I do see to Xanatos' argument is that for practice purposes, the d6 player MAY get to learn a little about team tactics. But again, if there is no guideline to have to play new people, then I foresee frustration when game day comes around and the old clique people get to play and the new one has to sit out.

I tend to agree. However, I would be interested.
