rokas Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 [b] I want to enter the Otakuboards Graphics Tournament[/b] I know I haven't posted in Art Studio since it was created, but this seems like a fun thing to do, and it would actualy help with my school work in a way. I only hope I'm not too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katana Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 [size=1][color=royalblue]On the first post it said the deadline was August 12th *coughlastweekcough*, but since nothing has happened, I'll go for the entry. People always thought my stuff was different from what everybody else made. ^_~ Prepare to be ph33ring. [i]Katana wishes to enter the Official OtakuBoards Graphics Tournament[/i].

Dagger Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 Sorry for the delay, folks. That having been said, I've edited my original post to include the bracket image. The first round should kick off later today, once I discuss a couple of details with the committee. Feel free to post any additional questions to this thread, and thanks again for your patience. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Koregaten Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I'd like to join. One question, do entries have to be hand made or is computer okay or are both okay? I'm more into the hand-drawn. Does it have to be specific themes, or is anything okay? Please answer me and let me join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 It's finally started. There were some logistical difficulties, but I believe we're now good to go. Hopefully this can regain some momentum. :animesigh I've PMed the participants about some changes which had to be implemented, but (just in case) I'll explain them here as well. There will not be any tournament committee; instead, I will be responsible for tallying votes, deciding on the specifics of each match and determining which votes are invalid (hopefully none!). The first round will be staggered. The five threads currently in play will run for a creation period (lasting until Tuesday the 13th) as well as a voting period (lasting until a date which will be announced later). Once they have been fully voted on, the round will be finished with the remaining five matches. Ideally this will help maximize turnout and prevent the OBGT from completely swamping the Art Studio with new threads. If you have general questions, comments or suggestions about the tournament, you're welcome to continue posting them here. However, please be aware that [b]sign-ups are closed[/b]. Thanks. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 [size=1]I'm so not happy with the theme you gave me, but it'll do. I was about to say "good luck, everyone", but luck has got nothing to do with this. Happy hunting >>'[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doukeshi Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 [SIZE=1]Do the voters get to know about the theme of each match before the banners are posted?[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katana Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 [size=1][color=royalblue]In a sense, yes. If you go to each thread, the theme (or parameters) is posted. Each theme is different for each match. Me and Revue have "Falling" with a parameter of 150x500; Boo and Butterfly's theme is Snow with a parameter of 500x200, etc. The themes and areas are different for each match, probably to avoid copying or something. XD Wait...that'd be too obvious..whatever. You guys get to vote in the end on which one you like the best between the two competitors. ...Mmm, sorry if this counts as modding... Oh, and Dagger: Flying Spaghetti Monster. Love it.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 [QUOTE=Katana][size=1][color=royalblue] Oh, and Dagger: Flying Spaghetti Monster. Love it.[/color][/size][/QUOTE] Thanks. I am honored to have been touched by His Noodly Appendage. :animesmil Also, I wanted to confirm that your answer to Doukeshi's question is quite correct. The different themes & dimensions are used both to avoid repetition and to keep it from getting boring, heh. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 [COLOR=DarkGoldenrod][SIZE=1]Got a question, Chief: Does 150x500 mean a canvas that's longer than it is wide? Width x height? And to everyone: Let's do our best, yeah? And don't hold back on each other! ;)[/SIZE][/cOLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of waffled on that one, but after a while I figured that it wouldn't hurt to throw in something a little different. I'm still thinking about how to approach dimensions in later rounds. Everything for the five current matches is in what one might term a medium-sized range. I'm worried that asking people to do really huge or wallpaper-sized stuff could seem unfair on my part, due to the time contraints; conversely, I don't know how well participants would take to more restrictive dimensions, or to unusual proportions like the one used for your match. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katana Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 [size=1][color=royalblue]You know what, I just thought of something... Okay, two somethings. 1. How long is the voting open? 2. Submisions were due by today. So...what about the two groups that didn't post? - -;; I'm off...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureWolf Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 [COLOR=teal]Yeah... I'm kinda hoping that a match where both entrants didn't submit an entry is a draw... <_<[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy told me recently that Tony wouldn't have Internet access for some time, but between the bustle of this and that, I stupidly didn't make the connection. So if you're still interested, and assuming he is as well, I wouldn't mind rescheduling, since he probably would have been able to participate if the tournament had been started immediately, without so many delays. Katana, I was thinking of leaving voting open until Thursday. If anyone has strong objections to that, raise them here. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll win by default if Sean fails to show. I wouldn't have a problem with keeping the matches open till Saturday; I was planning to start the second part of round 1 sometime around then, anyway, so it allows for a nice symmetry. I'm glad you (and others) have posted here repeatedly, heh. Since the running of this tournament has somehow morphed into a one-woman show, I'm going to need all the feedback I can get. :animeswea ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 [size=1]I've been watching the rounds go, and contemplating what theme I'll be given... But I agree that the votes should be extended. I know that I personally have had some serious troubles going on, and that would give me a nice time to vote for each round. ^_^ As for your role, you're doing an amazing job at keeping this organized, and the themes are fun... and original to boot. =D Keep up the great work Dag, we all appretiate it. I'm off to vote now that I got some free time. [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 [QUOTE=Young Cheezy]better late then never? this took a LOT of my time..Sorry for the delays. [IMG]http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/2558/yugimoto5ey.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1] Does this qualify as an entry? This seems like it was made in Microsoft Paint, and it seems like it was thrown together in a mere 30 seconds. No offense to Young Cheezy, but i've seen your work and it is much better than this, and if you just did a last minute entry just so you could stay in the contest, it wouldn't be fair to your opponent or the participants. So i'm asking you Dagger. Does this qualify? [/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katana Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 [size=1][color=royalblue]I'm in serious agreement with Rising Sun. I personally didn't/do not think it's fair if Cheezy wins by default, especially considering they were late. I just don't see why someone else gets a break when they were late in the first place. That, and their piece isn't good. I've noticed during the OBGT that some people have put their hearts out for the graphics, and others have merely slapped things together. That makes many one-sided contests for sure. It bothers me that some people (*coughmeretrirevuecough*) put a lot of time into something while others didn't. It's not really a contest if you don't try. Well, rant aside, I would like to mention that, if possible, I could end up being a task monkey for future rounds, seeing as how I've lost all hope for winning. - -;; Oap, off to school...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doukeshi Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 [SIZE=1]I have noticed also that some entrants don't really seem to be trying. I mean whats the point in entering a graphics contest and posting something a complete novice could do in two minutes, it doesn't make sense and is just pure laziness. I know some people have had trouble getting on and such, but still thats no excuse for a lapse in the quality of your work. [/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sean Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 [SIZE=1]My apologies, my internet connection hasn't been functioning for around 2 weeks, so I haven't been able to see the thread or have a chance to make a piece. I can sort one out just now if it would be possible. I've PM'ed Dagger to ask permission, but I thought I would let the general public know of my absence.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 [size=1]Hmm, just for fun I added a second image to my contest post (only as an attachment) to see what I could with the same dimensions/theme with ten minutes instead of four. >>" I guess I can't change my entry after everyone posted, but me no care. I just added it for fun, yay.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 I've permitted [b]Sean[/b] to post his piece a day late, as his excuse sounds fair to me (I don't want to be giving out extensions on a regular basis, however, so this is going to be a rare occurence). The Saturday voting deadline still stands. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
