Hello and welcome!

This is a spin-off of the original GFX Art Battle, but with some updated rules and changes. Please make sure to read the rules before entering, since they have been modified. Good luck, we look forward to seeing some creative artistic entries!

Competition Rules
1. Must be hand drawn, either on paper or in a program. It can then be manipulated in an graphics program. But unoriginal artwork cannot be used as the main focus. Copyrighted images cannot be used. All pieces containing copyrighted images will be disqualified.
2. Submissions must follow the current theme that has been chosen by a moderator for that week. If you submit more than one piece, please clarify which one you would like to be judged.
3. If your image is larger than 600 pixels wide, please provide a link to the image instead of posting it in the forum. Otherwise, the image will be cut off.
4. Artists cannot win in subsequent weeks. You can still submit, but if you won the week before, you cannot get first place again the next week.
5. After the deadline, a moderator will pick the winner, and they will be awarded a 25 AP award.

CAN'T YOU SEE WE ARE TEARING OURSELVES APART?!


Anyways.

Now you've prolonged the process for a ridiculous length, and you're basically saying that everyone can get to be a judge.


I don't think that her list is meant to be exactly what happens THEN a voted judge comes. I think that is the fallback list in case everything in judging goes wrong. As in if you guys keep this going for another 2 weeks then we will know who is judging, if you settle it by Monday, then by all means the appointed judge can move on and do the judging!

Lets just stop picking Carlie apart, she's just answering the cries of the masses. People wanted multiple judges, she gave it, now she's getting attacked for listening. :'(

The theme was dungeons and dragons, correct?

You know how the News such as fox and all of them basically whacked off DnD saying that it was a way that kids could contact their dark lord and master to bring havoc upon the holy world entirely(Or was that the catholics....)?
This pic proves that it's true.
Heheh, this is a joke I thought of for the Art Skills Comp on the ArmorGames forums, oddly, I wasn't listening to any music, and I might revise it, but probably not. I noticed that (by the shoes) it looks like the kid is standing on the table, he was supposed to be Floating mid air, so yeah. The guy on the left is a long timer at DnD (thus he's calling them rookies, lol), and the one on the right is a newbie just like the guy in the middle.

may the farce be with you, satan too, he owes me 5 bucks.

Haha I thought that was the full picture and Power is cut off, so I was sitting here thinking "whats POL? is that a nerd term I don't know? OMG I AM A FAILURE!".

But yeah hopefully we can get some good satirical art in this, cause D&D is the victim of a lot of abuse. :P
I know it well.. >_> also played Baldur's Gate and BG 2, as well as everquest/wow/neverwinter nights 2... you can see where my shame is going. :P

Hey, as such, it would work just fine. Yes. But that was NOT what she said! *shot*

I'm not attacking anyone. I'm just being grumpy because I had a bad day and it didn't look like she knew enough about what was going on. If she did, it didn't show in her posts. At least not to me. Bleh.

That actually was what I meant. It just seems like Klaus is the only one who understood what I was trying to say.

Sorry then. Just didn't sound that way to me. Clearly not to Cen either. Maybe it's just 'cause English isn't our first language. Maybe just 'cause we both have had somewhat bad day. Maybe ... Either way... Then there's no problem, right? We can all be friends now?
*tired little curl in corner of thread* I hope...

Dungeons and Dragons... Hmm... *gets nommed on by a mindflayer*

Zoom some more now.

MOAR!

Maybe it's just 'cause English isn't our first language.


And once again.


English isn't our first language.


There we go. If english isn't your first language then you should be very careful about reading things, cause I know I misinterpret things in french, even though I am still quite fluent in it. :S Causes sad times.

And I would also suggest, since you can acknowledge the fact that you are grumpy, to not come on AG if you are, cause that just never ends up good. =p

Hmm English is my first language and I still misinterpreted what she was trying to say...or did I.I can't really tell,but either way I came up with a single idea for this round and will have to see if I can put it together before the end of the weekend...I guess it seems everyone who is running for judge was tired today in one way or another though....last week of build season.....anyways I will see what I can get done then.

Yes, I have to stomp in it, but Klaus mocking just... Not grumpy here, just regularly ill and feverish.

There we go. If english isn't your first language then you should be very careful about reading things

Well, sorry.
So, from the begining.

Next judge will be Kingryan, who will pick the next topic and due date once the current competition is over.

Which would be right after Klaus.

But the bottom line is that whoever wants to judge can judge. You guys just need to be able to take turns. I don't know if you even need the whole voting system. Just share the responsibility and pass it on to the next person when you are done.

Only thing I see with a slight openess about is the bolded part. Though, after reading the entire text, it implies that it will be a round for each person, not until the current judge gets tired.

Sorry for the double post here, but I have some thoughts on this. It seems that every week there is some drama about who has to judge next, or a decision cannot be made in time to pick someone.

There have actually only been "drama" last time we voted, which worked out, and this time, which worked out as well, when I picked the theme, and Klause voluntered as a guest judge.

The voting process takes too long and gets complicated. This is the sort of thing we were worried about when we opened judging up to whoever wanted to judge. If there is going to be a big thing about it each week to pick the new person, I think that we need to appoint one person. So you guys need to figure out a better way to make this work if you want to continue running it.

Almost done. We were trying. A better way would be... Letting Zophia run it, because she is a moderator with no time.

This is exactly what I am talking about. If they want to do it, let them do it. There really is no issue here. Just set up a timeline. If they want to take part, put them on it and they get a turn to judge. Just put together a list of people who have shown interest in really wanting to do it, give it some sort of order, and let them judge. It really does not need to be an issue. Just take some initiative and get something together. That is only what I was trying to do.

Again, it seem to imply that either the official is taking a round off, or there is a sign up list for being the next judge.
For the bolded part, you just did what I had done already, just including KR in the line.

And I think that they should be able to do it. Perhaps it would work better if we had some sort of 'application' process. Where people could write in and say why they wanted to judge, and one can be chosen each week. That way, people still have to put effort into wanting to judge.

Bolded: list of people?

What I was saying is that, I thought it would run the smoothest if just one person were directing it. But since most people want to have multiple judges, we can make it work that way too. There just has to be some sort of order and direction to it.

The multiple judges have never been brought up, it was nothing more than people just passing by after having paid no attention to the voting at all.

I really cannot find the place where it says that it should be "when there is no other judge". I find multiple places that imply we should make a list of people and take turns one week at the time.
I might not be "Good" at English, but even Crimson found what you said unreasonable, Carlie, and he is an American.
I am sorry if I cannot read secret English code speek, which seem to be the case here, but Klaus, really, if you want to hurt people more, try kicking them in the crouch.
Mocking people for "misinterprenting" because English is not their first language....

Okay, I am done now. Just delete it after reading, Carlie, but I guess this might explain the frustration felt by the rest of us.
I will apologize for this rant, and for sounding mean, sarcastic or whatever I sound like, I just found your post more or less unclear, if what Klaus said was the point you tried to get out.
I am not trying to be a mean little spoiled kid here, nor am I taking out my somewhat bad mood on you, and if it seemed so, I will apologize.

I think we're upsetting Carlie by this, but... I agree on that post. >_> I'm sorry she felt attacked, though.

...

Can we leave it now?

I am english, and what Carlie said wasn't overly confusing I found. And I am not trying to hurt people here, that isn't my intention, you are reading it wrong. I am not joking when I say if your first language isn't english this causes problems and you need to read over and be careful. Because stuff like this breaks out. Another example is the fact that you just interpreted everything I said as harmful, which is farm from the meaning. I am merely trying to create an atmosphere where we don't have to argue about misunderstandings. And plain and simple if I am grumpy, I take a break from AG, because there is no point in coming here angry. I am sorry you have a fever and don't feel good Cenere, but when I feel like that I usually take an advil, and a break from AG for a few days and let yourself recuperate. Would do some good I am sure.
