[The-Coctail-That-Must-Not-Be-Named]

... and here it is

          The-Coctail-That-Must-Not-Be-Named

Okay, okay - It is not the cheapest - but it's well worth the prize because it is very difficult to be spiced correct
and hard to get the main ingredient. Only those who are badly missing that ingredient in their body will order it ...   

   ... "braaaaainzz"

       Cheers   

          I catched a trophy!    YAY!

Thank you for the votings although there were so many great contributions 
Well done Bavolis, you hosted an entertaining comp

[Thanks a lot for taking part with entries, posts or/and voting.]

Thanks a lot for taking part with entries, posts or/and voting.
You all made this an interesting and fun comp that I loved to host! 

My last official posting for this round is to proudly announce the winners and - like an award ceremony - to hand out my little trophies.



Without further ado my special congratulations go to:

  Ponch and jwalt you both get a tiny R2D2 that shows your great 3rd place to everyone     
            
  Scavenger you deserve this tiny R2D2 that reminds all the people on your awesome 2nd place   



and  * drumrolls *      



  Mad you conquered this tiny R2D2 that broadcast your stunning victory and thus 1st place to the world     


Big applause for you all
and an extra one for our glorious winner,  Mad, who will take it over and start the next challenge.

... and now it is time for me to leave you -  live long and prosper 

[Mokho]

Here are my votes:

1.  Mokho's gnomes-gang will definetely become a bestseller
2.  Funkpanzer's supercute gnome might open the doors to new dimensions/buyers
3.  Anas' on first sight traditional Mr. Gnomazago and his hidden technology will guard your lawn
... also the other artists deserve to stay, Mister big boss.
As you can see every gnome is styled unique. They are all done very resourceful and inventive by using the given shape.
                           

... The other thing you shown us is both magnificent and terrifying, but it seems to violate our company policy for occult rituals. We don't allow entity-summoning on Gnormal Gnome property!

Pardon?? What are you talking about?
Just for the record (to clear the occult ritual from a terrifying thing):
That “entity” is a superdupercute coloured bunny that simply couldn't find a gnomes hat in a size to hide the ears completely. Oh yes,  and not to be recognized immediately, it has put a bird beak on the snout. 
                                        

A great comp with lots of fun, Mister B.

[A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016 TO YOU!]

    A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016 TO YOU!

   
... and now ...
... for those who haven't overdone the celebrating last night:



There are still almost two days left to participate! 

   

@jwalt
No worries, dear 
Don't tell it to the others, but for me it was entertaining, interesting and held the thread alive

[I am in, too!]

I am in, too!   

[jwalt]

jwalt, I didn't know this facts about the drones. It was very interesting (good I asked).
And no – I won't disqualify an entry. I am happy for every entry that has been done and maybe ... or hopefully will be done.
Thank you for yours, jwalt.   



Aaah, Mandle, so you have offered an insider joke?
No wonder I didn't understand. I haven't seen the new movie and what I know about that character from Family Guy is – ähem ... he exists.
Let me thank you, Mandle, for an humorous entry. 



Aside of the comp I'd like to take the chance to send some wishes to my online family

I want to wish you all a wonderful christmas without sorrows

[Mad]

WOW - guys, I love you for all the entries and postings 

Hi, hi, hi - Mad did a Mon Calamari with a stroller - What a nice idea!  YAY!   Is it Admiral Ackbar?

Mandle, so if you didn't  come up with own sprites at the sprite jam but a jokes concept there might be the need to add a bit of explanation.Oh, and btw. do you count Stewie Griffin to Star Wars or Star Trek?

Ponch, that's great! Thank you for doing a world premiere of a virtual reality with sex appeal but a really average breast size in my humble comp. I am proud of you

And jwalt you offered some well done guests from Running Silence, the three lovely robots that I like so much (if I realized them correct)

Spoiler

[close]

In case I am correct then I am sorry, but you searched in the wrong movie. I can't remember of an appearence of those in Star Wars or Star Trek. That means we are in need of an explanation to know if they belong to Star Wars or Star Trek and what they ar doing there.

[Aww – more great entries!]

Aww – more great entries! 

Now we can also welcome a Jawa from Cassiebsg
and several Wookiees with Chef Gormaanda from Scavenger.
                         

Did you all see the cooking with Chef Gormaanda?
It's part of the Star Wars Holiday Special 1978: How to cook Bantha Surprise.
In case you like to take a peek, it can be watched right there  V

[WOW!]

YAY! Grok is starting with a SW-sprite that promises full action!   

btw. no need to do another one, Grok but of course you are very welcome to add a sprite for ST, too. 


Edit:
WOW!
During I wrote my reply a 7 of 9 already joined the party - coool!

[I will also allow (and like to see) sprites that are related to Star Trek]

... arrg  ...

So sorry, I should have controlled the themes from earlier Sprite Jams.
How about expanding the theme for all those of you who prefer to do a different sprite?

Let's say it officially:
I will also allow (and like to see) sprites that are related to

Star Trek  



You can choose it - including the option to use both 

“Make it so!”

Live long and prosper!
Mandle, thank you for mentioning and I am wishing you a lot of fun watching the movie and to dress up

[It's all up to you and your imagination.]

Hello my dear friends,

I often started to think about the new topic, but always something came shoving in between.
Wherever I was, I saw advertising on posters, in shop windows or tv, even in the news it was worth a message.
If an issue is so intense represented, who I am to ignore it?

So let's give it a go with    and hope that some of you like the theme, too.

I want you to come up with a sprite that somehow is related to or about Star Wars.
It might be a known character (or more) from the movies, a robot (or more)
or even someone (that we do not know - jet), who for example wants to apply for a role in the next movie
or a disguised fan (or more), ...
It's all up to you and your imagination. 

  Rules 
Resolution, style and color depth of the sprite is not specified.
AGS-compatibility is preferred (just imagine that someone wants your brilliant sprite for his new game)
Backgrounds and animation are optional.

The competition will end on 02. Jan. 2016 at midnight (forum-time).


   MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!   

Also the trophies are already prepared and programmed for you:

                           

"Now ~ for the fun of it ...

... aaand ...

... go!"   

Edit:   

                                                             

You can also go with characters related to Star Trek! (or both )


“MAKE IT SO!”

         
What the  …? Eggie, what did you do?! I can't believe it!
With such a lot of really good entries I didn't even think to be placed near the stairs
and now this (no wonder you went to cry after posting) 
But nonetheless: Thank you veeery much

Now I'll try to find a new theme for the next round

["Yuck ~ Who is responsible for that disgusting mess?!"… grmbl … "I'll catch you for this!"]

Hello boss,

here's what hopefully will convince you, not to fire me.

"Yuck  ~  Who is responsible for that disgusting mess?!"
… grmbl …  "I'll catch you for this!"



I had a lot of fun with this one so I couldn't stop ...

Spoiler

Who is this? Someone (or something) oddly disguised tried to hide in my garden between the other garden gnomes.

[imgzoom]http://fs5.directupload.net/images/user/151215/s6bmi8ps.png [/imgzoom] 

Seems to me that it is an adventurer of some kind (picking up everything not nailed and combine/use impossible objects for reaching their goal).
I bet there is also a knife, duct tape and a screwdriver to be found in the inventory.

[close]

I wasn't sure if you wanted any kind of character in the old style or a restrain from a known Maniac Mansion character (started before your last edit cleared this). But there is no way in not participating here because it was MM that triggered my addiction on p&c adventure games. So â€" to be on a safer side â€" I chose our lovely Edna (the Edisons didn't even have their skin colour 'correct' back in the time).


sprites of Edna Edison
3 colours from the given palette
double pixels
fitting in game (hmm â€" should fit )

[imgzoom]http://fs5.directupload.net/images/user/151211/duh4don3.png[/imgzoom]

Since her skin is not that nice/clear on our forums background colour I also added some backgrounds with it included.
Thanks to the nice colleagues from Maniac Mansion Mania and their starter packs (of nearly everything) I didn't need to search long.

[Now I have the honour to show you several rarities from the stone age, avaliable for the best offer that comes in]

I jumped into that big pile of unknown stuff in the darkest corner to find something that is well worth to be wanted by others.
I was in luck and really able to dig up some very old things (original antiquities) that might be of big interest for fans of the earlier famous owners.



Now I have the honour to show you several rarities from the stone age, avaliable for the best offer that comes in 

[imgzoom]http://fs5.directupload.net/images/user/151108/mbeiataq.png[/imgzoom]
There's the original dress of Wilma and the genuine clothing of Fred (both with some insignificant signs of wear).
Also we have a caddis with several articles of daily use included. You can find at least one used stone age haunch, a hair brooch of Pebbles and a golf club of Fred.

Greetings from Bedrock to the AGS'ers from all over the world!

Hopefully you have left some coins to be able for a generous offer   

Congratulation to all the winners 

This was a very interesting color ball with a lot of good entries.
Thank you for the votes and lovely comments!
Not to forget Anas for hosting it!

1. Gurok - That is awesome! A great idea and very well done (including your representation)    Bravo!
2. Mokho â€" Draculator would have been proud if we had given him those detailed tiles â€" well done!   
3. Grok â€" Those tiles could be used for real! Only the dark outlines prevent me to give it an even better rank but nonetheless it's a real good work!
