To me, it seems like a good way to keep it fair and partial

...don't you mean impartial, Carlie? :P

Not that this matters. I always strove to expose my &quotartiality" in the course of judging. I don't expect anybody to try emulating it but nonetheless I stand by what I've said previously and trust that you guys will sort out what to do.

Oh, why are we trying. Zophia ends up the judge anyway, either because Carlie doesn't trust any of us regular user, or because Zophia is "Ze awesomst mod dere haz evr been!!". (I think that was what at least one user on AG meant).
So, well, I vote for Zophia. Just to get this over with.

hey Gantic are you ever going to explain the box to us?

No. It will be a torment of a day to be puzzled, but no. It's probably best not to think about it. Like what is supposedly a great joke I once heard years ago. Thought I didn't understand it, but then years later I realized that I did and it wasn't funny.

If that doesn't have anything to do with subjectivity D:<

Lol yes, that is indeed what I meant.

because Carlie doesn't trust any of us regular user

That is not true, and we have allowed many members to run and judge contest which we have awarded merits for. I would appreciate not being judged in such a negative fashion for the decision that we have come to on this issue.

On the left box:
Sun - Moon
San - Si, Three - Four ("Sang" - "Si&quot Chinese number symbolism.
Dinosaur - Plastic bottle thingy, Someone already dug up the old entry.

On the right cube:
Money - Love
II - IIII, Two - Four (That's the watchmaker's 4.)
Male - Female

Did you know?
--If you add up the numbers on opposite sides of a die, you get seven.
--If you really think about a puzzle before you go to sleep, the answer might be in your dreams if your brain has already solved it.
--I find puns to be the highest form of humor.
--There are at least three puns in this post already that hint at the answer to one of the box. (Four, if you count one so horrible people would be wondering if it was or wasn't a pun.)

The answer is there, but what is the question?
I'm twisting the theme a little. Why do we make resolutions?

Ok guys, here are my notes (and possible answer):

Actually, no. I want to check with Gantic to see if I'm right. I wouldn't want to spoil it for you all if I am :P

_______________________________________

I haz an entry. Judgement you say?

Drawn in a program with no Cmd+Z function (actually drawn in a widgety thing attached to a chat room (Cholokid, crimsonblade55 and deth4 knows exactly what I'm talking about))~
Wass quite interesting. No brushes with fade, only a palette and an untrustworthy set of RGB value bars, and a strange way of adjusting brush size, as well as a transparency bar...
I really like the simplicity it makes one work with~<3

My creativity and ability to make decent comments have dies, so "loooool" was the best I could come up with, failing in the process... So nice entry, but I fail to express it?

@Gamingkid
I'm not sure I want to know why you don't want to take any more laxatives. I for one try to stay away from bowel movement enhancers.

sorry for such a late post about new years resolution but i wasnt on much over the brake, so Cholokid It was about bulemia but its not about me it just was something i learned in health class so i decided to draw it.

heres a description, and sort of a story..

one day, madness broke out over the land of AG. a horde of zombies attacked, and all of AGs heroes were turning on them. The citizens of AG had to turn to one man, Deth4, for survival. They took shelter under a barricade, and a single figure was standing in the pale moonlight, watching... waiting... suddenly, he saw figures in the shadows. he recognized the zombified corpses of who else - Zophia Strop and crimsonblade55. terrified, he grabbed his master sword and began to charge his lazers...

now that thats over, this was also done in the doodle thing zoph used.. as you can see i didnt put much thought into it, and maybe took 5 minutes to quickly slap together.
