Title: bACkGrOUnD BLiTz Sept 12th - 26th
Post by: Mr_Frisby on Fri 12/09/2003 11:18:02
Okay, I get the feeling things are running behind so I'll get this started quick.

    the idea is a Medievil Kareoke Bar and Grill.

I'm pretty sure I've spelt Kareoke wrong but this next but wont confuze ya :

           256 colours (of super dooper coolness)

        & 320 X 200 (or the square aspect ratio of 320 x 240)

     but you have to draw it in MS paint
       with your unpreffered hand -   JUST KIDDING!!. . .

any medium you prefurr, and feel free to twist the theme as far as you want - the warpederer the better.
     - i likey the warp and will possibly be judging on it.  
 
   -"This is your assignment Angels . . now get to work!!"

EDIT: Sorry OTG the ish was just a joke coz the blitz usually goes into overtime.

Mr Frisby, you can't have it 26thish because people need a deadline before which to submit pics and vote. :P

Well just try to get them in before the 26th. If you dont you may still have time. I was on vacation one day, so I think -ish days are fine so long as you have a reason...

ish is the reason these things are never finishing on time and dragging on forever. :P

Thanks Mr_Frisby, they tend to go into overtime, but that shouldn't be the intent from the start. ;)

EDIT: I think it's "Medieval" and "Karaoke". Sorry I didn't twist the theme.

Cool entries so far!

Darth, that's pretty spiffing, are you by any chance left handed?
Title: Re:bACkGrOUnD BLiTz Sept 12th - 26th
Post by: Darth Mandarb on Wed 24/09/2003 00:16:02
Thanks, and actually ... yes.  I am left handed.

A damsel in distress, or a naive knight in search of fame; perhaps a friar on his way with a supply of 'wine', or a carefree bard...regardless of whom, the chance remains that they'll end up in...the "Dragon's Mouth." And what better way to pass the time than with Karaoke.

EDIT: Forgive me all, I'm not sure I followed the 256color rule. I noticed everyone else saved as .GIF. Is this the extension for 256colors?

WanderLady: well, there's only 176 colours in that pic, PNG doesn't give that horrible artifacting compressiony effect thingy that JPG does, even if you save that picture with 1% jpg compression you end up with artifacting and 6730 colours...

Darth Mandarb: if you're wondering how i guessed that you're left handed it was because of the angle of the isometricness (315° rather than 45°) i figured that would be easier for somebody left handed than right, ain't i clever?  :D

i love that movie.  

to answer your question, boyd COULD have autism, but more likely he's using paint shop pro or some other program that will count the number of colours used in an image for you.

he heh he! You drewd what I was not expecting in the mspaint game Boyd - very cool.
(also you should have stuck with autism - autism is way cooler than paint shop pro!)

Okay because I am lazy and probably wont look at this tomorrow, and it's the 26th n all - whats say we do the votey thing!!

If people want to vote it would be cool, coz I don't want to decide on my own astheyareallcoolandchangingtheworldasweknowitasIspeak . . breathe . .F. . Breathe..   .phew!

Do we vote for ourselves, or is it an automatic self-vote, or do entrants not vote at all?

Hmm...I really like Darth Mandarb's.
[vote check-Darth Mandarb]

[If legal: I vote AlexisVale.]

Whether we are allowed to vote for ourselves or no, it is a courtesy to give your vote to another despite the thought that yours may be the best.
