I honestly didn't think people were going to copy me.

I did that because I couldn't think of anything better.

Chrissi · 04-27-2004, 04:17 PM

It's all right... they're not copying YOU, they just can't think of anything better either.

Afrobean · 04-27-2004, 04:46 PM

Hey Chrissi, my keyboard says something better...

See? My keyboard is more specific as to note about wrists and stuff.

In closing, though, I think your's is the most clever, but what's with the "tempting fate" thing?

Chrissi · 04-27-2004, 05:02 PM

Oh, it's just that we're tempting fate by using the keyboard so much. The up-arrow key is supposed to be pointing to why we're tempting fate

I want your keyboard!

man I'm such a loser...

**lightdarkness** · 04-27-2004, 05:12 PM

i have a great idea for mine, but im doing homework right now, just wait and see

Chrissi · 04-27-2004, 05:17 PM

Jewpin's first picture approaches awesome on a scale from one to awesome. The second isn't showing though.

Afrobean · 04-27-2004, 05:38 PM

That's funny, Jewpin messed up his bible or something and the pic don't even load.

Also, I got a pretty good idea for one... I'll probably do it tomorrow.

2) Fake photos will be rejected and disqualified (no alterations or addtions via paint program)

Unless I am mistaken, this means that anything that wasn't originally in the photo cannot be added. However, perfecting the photo should be allowed.. after all, it says "fake" photos, and changing things like the brightness/contrast isn't "fake".. it's just making the original photo better.

Now, I'm seeing entries now that were obviously edited (or completely made *cough*Omeganitros*cough*) in a paint program. This is a PHOTO contest.. not an MSPAINT contest.

I'd also like clarification here by synth... adjusting levels (contrast/brightness/gamma/etc) is allowed, right? Just don't add anything that wasn't there in the first place? If I am mistaken, my piece should be disqualified.

**Squeek** · 04-27-2004, 07:31 PM

I finally got mine in. Gamecube owns, mmkay? Now thinking of 4 more could net me some trouble... Somehow I'm going to need to rent a few cranes and some city blocks need to be cleared...

Wait, you mean my loophole through the rules doesnt work?

Curses.

ImEric12 · 04-27-2004, 08:11 PM

man, I have a great idea for a picture, but i can't find my stupid digital camera! I'll find it eventually.

**Kilgamayan** · 04-27-2004, 11:37 PM

When will people realize you can't edit stuff into or out of the photo?

tristia · 04-28-2004, 12:35 AM

hey earl is in freaks picture thing, wooh..

I cant get mine in for a day or two, because I wont be home, sadness...
Hopefully i dont miss it (because no deadline has been specified yet).

Chrissi · 04-28-2004, 06:01 AM

God, somebody make people stop using paint to put the words in!

**alainbryden** · 04-28-2004, 06:25 AM

It doen't really matter if they use pain, they are entertaining and will just be disqualified anyways. I have an AMAZING idea for my next picture. I can't wait to see how much it owns

**Squeek** · 04-28-2004, 07:05 AM

Well, MY next picture will own all other next pictures, and pictures afterwards and so on in a continuous cycle of ownage.

And I'm also quite annoyed at the stupid pictures that people just wrote FFR over something in paint. Be original. Editing Halo pictures is not original. Making the high score on a DDR machine "FFR" IS. Props to Arch0wl on that one.

**Synthlight** · 04-28-2004, 07:23 AM

Just to be clear, you can alter brightness and general adjustments or even resize the image. But it must be based in the fact that the content is 100% originally photographed.

Some 30 second ideas from Synthlight:

Tape an FFR sign to someone's back in school and take a picture.
Put an FFR sign on a schoolbus (and then take it down quickly)
Put an FFR sign in the window of a very tall building and then take a picture from outside
Have your dentist put the letters FFR on your teeth
Arrange your dogs pile of steaming.. To look like FFR
Get anyone of any importance in your life / school / public to hold up an FFR sign while you take a picture
Write FFR on someone's shoes.. umm. ehh.. with their permission of course.

Those were my 30 seconds worth of ideas. Hopefully they inspire.

Cheers,

Synthlight.

RobbyZero · 04-28-2004, 07:41 AM

lol interesting Synth...the importance one I did with my dog getting pwned by FFR,and he was sad about it too

Chrissi · 04-28-2004, 08:43 AM

Thank you synth! Now we all know.

I especially needed to know the bit about adjustments.
