Wow. I ain't even started designing yet, and all of this happens when I sleep? Jeez EL what's your prob? Stop being such a drama queen and lets have fun designing as we used to :)

I watched Titanic again last night, and will have a 2nd watch of Argo tonite. Then I'll decide which way to go.

As for the competition, I'm with Bazz; I've always viewed Battle Royale as a Team effort. Yes, one winner is announced in the end, but the glory spills over the whole site, and as far as I can remember the efforts of the site's entire Team is praised. Not just the one winner. The Team.

Now, to be fair, it's been two years since I last entered this thing as a designer; being a Judge last year. But as I remember it, it was a great experience being a part of the Vizion team, where friendly banter and help were offered up for grabs in PMs. That's one of the things I, when I look back, I love about that year's competition. Being part of that Team.

And helping out shouldn't be a bad thing. I was asked for help from a member of the competing Vizion Team just the other day. And did I neglect to help out a fellow competitor? No, of course not. He needed templates that Vizion don't have (being a Danish site first and foremost), and we had them here at HiRes. So I shipped them over to him. Why? Because this is a fun competition and we are all in it together! :D

And I'm realistic enough to know that I don't stand a chance of winning this thing. Not with the blood-thirsty Vman on the prowl for raw meat, and other designer's whose skills are far superior to mine are competing too! I'm in it for the fun, and to push myself a little. Don't spoil the fun please!! :)

You have to laugh, being called a drama queen by JR.

As for the comp, on bunnys site, this is posted there

For Designers:
General guidelines for a design entrant include:
- Please set aside ample time to design a cover by Monday, April 1.
- Please do not discuss the design until after judging completes. Collaboration is one of this hobby’s most vibrant aspects, but it will saved for other challenges.[/quote]

I never called anyone a cheat, all i stated was that it was unfair that hires has a private room just for its designers, and that was just stating facts. if the hires artists feel they can win on there own merit, then its up to them

This competition was created to get site vs site vs site right? It's not one designer vs another one vs another one...

Obviously there has been some contradiction in the rules which needs to be looked at. Let us wait for Bunny to clear up the rules once and for all, rather than getting petty about it all.

I'm with Bazzah, let Bunny decide and complete is rules (if necessary)... or just confirm it...

there was to much things to read, to (try to) understand...
but i'm sure of one thing, we are all here to have fun with each other (graphicly talking only, not se*ually, not yet, euh...) and that i won't talk of our entry with Xshoty or MoMo (despite the fact we represent the same forum)(and just because i don't want to interfere in their creation)

Bunny, please clear my mind, and for my own, i'll respect what you'll decide, you're the boss of this fu*king great idea that is the Battle Royale...

HAVE FUN EVERYBODY, JUST HAVE FUN!! (oops i'm yelling..) ;)

:lol2:

Seemed to me like he has decided though. Reading his last post, which he also has posted on other sites, the designers can discuss their designes with any of the other competing designers.

Been truing to sit back and see this play out, but EL has hit the nail on the head in post #102. Right there in B&W, someone always looking for that little extra, i just don't get it aren't those folks already supposed to be the elite? This whole thing is so funny it's saddening to ruin what should be a fun friendly event such as this. I know for me it has a very bitter taste.

The rule is now updated:
"- Please do not discuss your design with anyone except another competing designer until after judging completes."

If you want to email a fellow competitor for help finding a logo, that's allowed.
If you want to ask a fellow competitor for a spell check, that's allowed.
If you want to PM a fellow competitor to say "This rule change is ridiculous," that's allowed.

Venome can have a cup of cocoa with ChefJoe. :cheers:
JR can travel to Matush's house to watch Titanic and Argo together. :love:

No designs have been submitted yet. Although this is still intended as an individual challenge, any designer has the opportunity for discussion with any other competing designer. Equal footing is restored. Our hearts will go on. :)
