... has everyone forgotten that it's a PHOTO contest, not a screencap/edited picture contest...

Afrobean · 05-1-2004, 10:14 AM

Well everybody, I finally got around to posting my piece of crap. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

NebNeb · 05-2-2004, 02:08 PM

Hmm.. No-one seems to like my hamster's hat... That took me a long time to make as well. T_T

I thought it was originial...

**alainbryden** · 05-4-2004, 06:25 AM

I really like the hamster one. Who like my FFR Horse? pg. 6 at the end.

RobbyZero · 05-4-2004, 06:26 AM

The horse one is funny

Poor bastard...did you use paint or something?

**alainbryden** · 05-4-2004, 09:14 AM

HAHA, latex paint. It took me like half an hour to get out, and there's still some residue. :P.

RobbyZero · 05-4-2004, 09:42 AM

lol poor horse..I hope he smacks you one good :P

**Squeek** · 05-5-2004, 04:40 PM

Any update as to the possible end of the submission period? The posting seems to have declined in the contest topic. It's basically one every 3 days now...but about half the posts there are either just comments or invalid pictures as is...

~Squeek

**alainbryden** · 05-5-2004, 07:49 PM

I have 1 more really good one planned, but I'm in exams the next 2 weeks so I donno when I can get around to it

**Squeek** · 05-10-2004, 07:04 PM

Can one of the mods go through the Photo topic and clear out comments without photos and post on non-photo images? It isn't even 7 pages long when you include all those.

You don't have to...but if you have nothing better to do, why not?

~Squeek

Chrissi · 05-11-2004, 02:13 PM

I agree very much with what MrESqueek said.

**Squeek** · 05-15-2004, 11:48 AM

It's now been 5 days since my last post and 3 days since the last post in the picture forum. Perhaps a main page announcement stating that this is the last week should be displayed? Something to that effect since it is primarily over as of now.

I think print screen shots should count. They're not specifically disallowed in the rules. I mean... I could go and take a picture of my computer monitor and get something to the same effect (save for those crappy bars that continuously move up the screen), but that'd be kinda redundant. But if I took a screenshot and edited it, I would agree that it would be grounds for disqualification... but what counts as alteration?

of course using a paint program was mentioned specifically, but what about .....

1) creating something in a NON-PAINT program for the express purpose of this program (like mine...page 3)?

2) going in and modifying a program or game so that FFR will show up in it? (changing a texture file, creating a 3d landscape, making bots that dance on your own created FFR pads in a game like UT? ... hold on... I totally call that idea if it's allowed)

A little insight would be helpful in this matter, so I can get to taking more pics.

Chrissi · 05-18-2004, 08:45 PM

It's a PHOTO contest. It says so in the rules. If you look at the first page, a bunch of entries are disqualified because they are not PHOTOS.

**alainbryden** · 05-18-2004, 09:38 PM

on a side note, I like Chrissi, he/she (I assume the latter) has integrity.

evilbutterfly · 05-18-2004, 09:49 PM

indeed. photo contest. although, if someone doesnt have a digital camera that may make sense. then again, why are we even worryign about this? the screenshot and edited pics mostly suck anyway, so we dont have to worry about them winning :P

**alainbryden** · 05-18-2004, 09:55 PM

Very true, and the whole point is to reward people with photographical comedic/artistic talent, if you don't have a digital camera, you probably lack this. And if you're too poor, you shouldn't have a computer :P
