Jim's Set Contest! WINNERS ANNOUNCED

[Charisma]

I tried my best, well not best but it's been a while and I'm not good at making graphics for guys. You are lucky I didn't make it all flowery or something, well maybe not because you feel like I tried and you have to use it. If I haven't guilted you into using it then I'll be straight out and tell you I did spend a long time on this and hope you at least use it once....well actually I would hope you use everyone's at least one on that forum of yours, considering that artists spend time on these. I would have made it transparent but I think I matched the color so it looks like it was transparent regardless.

[Jim]

Dissapointingly low turn out so far Might have to extend the deadline and maybe see if I can borrow some NP or something from someone to entice others in. Thanks hugely to everyone who contributed up to now!

[mazil]

Hmm... maybe you could offer a custom description (like your "Often imitated, but never duplicated") as a prize, if that would be allowed?

I reckon that would be highly desirous, on top of your already generous name-change prize

[timkhj]

i've got something in the works now... but at the risk of making it too difficult, can we have a few more days?

It crossed my mind fleetingly, mate, but unfortunately that sort of thing doesnt sit well with me. Just smacks of abusing my position for personal gain and all that.

No problem. Ive decided to extend the contest by at least 1 more week Added to that, that two very generous ladies have offered to bung me a bit of NP ( I wont name any names for the sake of modesty ( modesty be damned, its Jas and Charisma!!! )) and things are looking up I'll post the updated prizes and what-not later.

hey, ill make a cool entry.. one that rocks. Is there a filesize limit? I wont make it too huge, but you said you like animation, and animation takes up lots of space... the little animation in my siggy just BARELY fits in the PPT limits...

[Jim]

File limits shouldnt really be an issue. Anyone visiting the forum plays the game, and the game requires a high speed connection. I know one lad whose sig is beyond huge. Even so, limit the av to 100k Max and the sig to 300k. They'll only have to load them once, afterall, so I may be flexible on this if need be.

[The Wonder Weezel]

yes, so sorry, i JUST noticed that and came back to delete my post.... well, i may have to readjust it a little.... the awesome avatar i made is *just* over 100k...

EDIT:

allright. it is now 98.4 KB.

EDIT AGAIN:
Well, i just made some cool letters for the avatar, but if i want to write something on the signiture, ill need some cooler fonts... does anyone have any links to some cool free downloadable fonts? i suppose i could always just use comic sans....

EDIT AGAIN:

heres my entry!




THAT took a while...

[Charisma]

I use Dafont.com for free fonts, I actually downloaded one called counterstrike but didn't use it.

really neat effect .

thanks it took a long time, and im actually dissapointed... because I was going to make it fade better, and take longer... and type each letter individually, because i was pretty worried about the filesize being gigantic with the flames and the large sized-image..... i ended up being less then 250k after i did it the first time! ugh.


Also... Jim, make sure you let me know if you extend the waiting period.... I think if I was given another day *when I have a free day* I could make it twice as cool.... schools starts for me again tomorrow, but I might have time later in the week... so.... make it obvious if you do extend the entry date.

[Jim]

Ive now updated the first post to show the new prizes and the closing date. Keep those entries coming in

[Charisma]

I hadn't noticed the avatar was animated and then I spotted it and thought I was seeing things o_o. Good looking set Chris . Can we enter more than one? And I'd like to go with my orignal idea of making you a care bear set

[Christopher]

People must be too scared of Jim to enter or something.
