Z: So we have a little thing called judging...
C: Yes, we do. Later than it should have been, but who care. (I know you do, people, just play along, will ya?)
Z: Lol. . .
C: Now, we got last week's winner, Cholokid:
Nice one, read the explanation. Sad to say, I forgot what it was, but I do remember the amusement. The only thing I can think up now is "5 meters" which I should research as well, but that is unrelated to the judging.
Z: o.o Okay. Well... Nice drawing. Glad to see he's enjoying his tablet.
C: Very. Tablets seem to have that effect on some people. I still remember when I got my own. Small but handy. And he is doing a fair job with it as well.
I suggest we continue to the judging, miss Moderator?
Z: Suggestion approved. First place:
C: KingRyan
Refreshingly new idea, and rather original I must say.
Z: It's funny~
C: It is. In the lack of landmass, countries, human would have a lot of problems. Now I get to think of it, last time you won, KingRyan, I think it was with a God joke as well. They seem to bring you a fair amount of luck, or of course, they seem to be the best of your ideas. Congratulations in either case.
Z: Squeak~ Now I suppose I'll unlock my profile (or peofilw as I typo'd) comments long enough for him to get a merit.
C: You will probably have to, unless you rather will have him redirected at any other mod.
Z: Yeah.
C: Now, for the second place, we have Raptor.
Raptor, the conqueror of countries, I take it?
Z: Accompanied by country music?
C: Agreed. This would most likely have been a really nice short animation, most likely used for a splash for websites. First time I saw it, I thought about NewGround; this not in a bad way, I think it might have been the colours, if anything. It looks nice, a good signature image, if AG had signatures, of course.
Z: *noddles* Oh, and sorry 'bout my lack of comments today...
C: It is most likely okay. Third place goes to the mixture of countries in Crimsonblade's entry.
Nice impersonation of Zophia, Sasquatch look almost like a mazzelh with brown fur, or, of course, like Sasquatch looking kittishly. This gives a nice image of the world situation. USA having problems, China winning in on everything but environment, Russia doing nothing (since the Poland incident, wasn't it?), and Denmark... Seemingly being Zophia. Yes, the world is moving.
Z: Denmark seems oddly misplaced, though. >_>
C: Depends on the image, I guess. We have been a major part of the war in Irac and all, even though we are a tiny country. But yes, three major countries and Denmark, well. I still find it entertaining.
Z: Wasn't what I meant, but let's carry on~
C: Sorry then. Now, for the rest of the entries, we have a moderator. No, not Strop. Ubertuna. 
Hm, yes, greyscale. It looks rather well, the effect of the brush giving it a nice texture, and makes it stand out on the plain grey background.
Z: Remind me... Gray vs. grey. Which is the American spelling?
C: Gray. Grey is the English way of spelling it, if we can trust my dictionary.
Z: Ah yes. It's a nice shade.
C: Very. The brush is my kid sister's favorite for bloody marks. Just for the sake of random. Oh, and then we got Zega and his "Zegaland".
Also know as Sweden. And I have to say the quality and ideas of his entries are getting better by the week. If he keeps it up, he will most likely end up in the top three every time.
Z: ... Right.
C: So just keep up the work, Zega. Now, the collection of "America's Hat" pictures. Gantic with a different approach.
Is that a kiwi?
Z: It looks like it? Dragging kangaroo dung?
C: Yes. New Zealand taking the garbage, I guess? Nice idea, not as confusing as some of his works can be. The design is simple, reminding me of his raptor entries back then. Comfortable to the eye.
Z: Yes~
C: And Thisisnotanalt has another.
For some reason I would like a Canada hat (one like the one Gantic portrayed), just for cheering for Canada. And sadly, I know to little about Canada, which seems to be a fault from my side. The only thing I know is what I can remember from "Canadian Idiot" by Weird Al, and that is not much nor very positive. But fun, at least. Hm, I got sidetracked there.
Z: Syrup and maple leafs? Anyways~ Hat store?
C: Yes. No respect for those places, their hats are way to expensive for me to use my money there. Hmm, if Canada is America's hat, is Denmark then Germany's little distorted hat?
Z: Maaaybe?
C: Europe is hard to make fun with, besides shapes. Like Jutland having a nose, and Italy being a boot. Now, for Apocalypse.
Not much of a images, besides being "Drawn" in paint. A quick idea that could have been made better by drawing, but the idea of it makes sense. Do the same with planets? Though Pluto would not fit in there either.
Z: Interesting - font, though.
C: And readable unlike my handwriting, sadly.
Z: Your handwriting is readable.
C: Hardly. Now, last but not least, JereN and his alternate worldmap.
Hmm, maybe I should go to Scotland one day.
Z: Oh?
C: Whiskey. But yes, even though it seems a little distorted, this was a very interesting idea as well, just like some of the satire drawings I have seen of Europe during WW2. Or the statistical images, where the lands are distorted from how high they are in the statistic.
Z: Indeed. *considers writing a comment, decides against it*
C: I wonder is that is a fish up there in Denmark..
Now we just got the new theme left.
Z: Yes... Thoad suggested 'Dreams'.
C: Instead of Mods? Okay.
Theme: Dreams
Deadline: Monday the 13th.
Z: That was... Easily selected. o.o
C: I guess. Does it matter?
Z: Not really, I s'ose. Thoad'll probably be happy?
C: Yes. I wonder if the moderator one will be there next time. Oh well. Now, let us see is Strop has any word for me this time...
Z: Nyu...
C: *grabs Crime and Punishment and walks off*
Z: *kittens after*
