Imposed sets would help by giving them to designers on launch date. Nobody gets ahead. :Graucho

I think that plan is not gonna work.... for several reasons....

so I think whatever the designer does with the tour afterwards is gonna be dependant on each individual situation. Some may want to sell it, some may want to use it for their own, some may have it promised to a content provider or someone, some may want to auction it off..... so, from what I can see, there's really no ONE thing we could impose on that.....

Personally, I'm willing to hand mine over to a prize sponsor if it gets that far, and if not, auction it off. But that's just me..... what everyone else does with theirs is gonna hafta be up to them.

but that doesn't really matter...... it's only supposed to be a week.... and most.... (I say most....) designers can easily put out killer work in a week or less. So, if someone wants to get a head start, that's fine..... it doesn't matter. If it was only "you got 3 hours to come up with the best you can!" then it would matter.... but since it's a week.... time isn't really an influencing factor here, and it just doesn't matter. Plus.... someone might have an issue with that week and need to get it done beforehand in order to play. :winkwink:

I want in!

SetTheWorldOnFire representing: YoungHoes.Net

I would love to have a content provider sponsor me. *wink* *wink*

Ya know, since this is the first contest of this kind here, perhaps it should stay nice and open.... allow everyone to pick their own content, niche, domain.

If something gets fucked up, second time 'round it can be changed. I doubt this will be the first *and* last contest of this kind here, agreed?

I think a lot of people see that there is quite a bit of competition, but keeping this fun and interesting I think setting restrictions would suck big donkey dick, and personally I would like to see everyone's serious skills and tastes in what they produce. This is not about who can make one certain set of content look the best, this is about who's got some serious skills and creativity to put together a badass tour. Like Amp said, like a CAR SHOW! Do you really want to see all these talented people use the same set of pictures to make a tour? That is so fucking boring, how is someone supposed to find their inspiration? yuck.

I want to see ART, not who can make the same pussy pics look the best.

Anyone 'round here that is truly an artist will agree.

I personally think auctioning the tours is an opportunity to do something good, and it also diffuses any bad feeling that might come out of this. Any kind of competition has the potential for that. And it also would make a good comparison between the voting and what actually sold. If a designer doesn't like the idea, they don't have to enter. :1orglaugh

Do people sell the cars at Car Shows?
Auction them off?

Maybe some do, but most take em home and show em to friends or in this case, Im gonna put my tour where it belongs, on its domain, as it should be, then we can talk about the "conversions" of these sites months from now, or have an Annual GFY Graphics Showdown and we can discuss the progress of the sites who won the previous year and how theyre conversions were throughout the year... if we wanted to.

When I first got wind of this, it sounded cool, geez it sounds like its becoming more pain than fun now. Stop with all the girly shit, you guys sound like a bunch of women throwing a Tupperware party who cant decide on a sandwich spread.

Quit worryin' bout what happens to the tour, mine's gonna be uploaded to its real domain and the member section will be built upon the end of this thing... get this thing back to "design" I'm anxious to do something NOT like the people ask for, for a change.

I am looking forward to finally making MY OWN fucking kick ass site, you gotta realize, though we design, we design for others. This time around IM designin for ME, my game, my content, and my prizes ;)

Working in the Art world over a decade now I can tell you every Art show I have curated artists always have pieces NOT FOR SALe, in this case, my tour will Not Be For Sale or Auction...

Sit back enjoy the show, make some contacts, like any other event, and let the pieces be hung on whoevers wall the artist chooses, in this case cologroup.


:2 cents:

Well said, Fletch

*insane raucous applause*

like I already said.... what you do with your tour after the fact is up to you. You're not getting paid for this tour, so it's not like anyone can force you to do something with it. Hell, you can delete it if you want..... I don't care. :winkwink:

*Modification of original reply*

I should have added that EVERYTHING* I do is for sale ;)


*insert necessary and appropriate disclaimers here

M

Well, it seemed a chance to do something different, but with all the prizes, all the free content, it just seems like a designers promo deal. Good luck with it anyway. :winkwink:

eh...does this thread count as a "longest thread of the week"? lol NOT FAIR

Ah okay bro, sorry this thread is getting hard to fllow, everytime I check it, it seems people are still argiong bout the same shit even though the issues I guess have been addressed hehehe my bad...

you're in. :winkwink:

The only thing longer than this thread is my dick...

Oh wait, that must be yours, I don't have one!

Michelle

you need penis pills....

Yeah June the 6th month, my birthday month too, good month it truly is.

The middle of the year, the beginning of change,...


oh Amp while my stoned ass rambles... so in the end we gotta hand over a zipfile and the tour will be uploaded by someone and set up? Or will we each be alowed a ftp in or what? This is the only thing I havnt thought about or really seen established ....

:thumbsup

Hah, with a clit like mine, who NEEDS a penis?

Bloussant, now if that works, that'd be a different story...

UPDATE:

Matrix Content has generously made an offer to sponsor any designers participating in this by providing content for your tour. However, the one catch is that when it's over, Matrix Content owns your tour. You may not use it anywhere else. It must be turned over to them.

If you are interested, you must agree to this before you will be authorized for content use. No agreement, no deal. Simple as that.

oh yeah.... and that's #500 bitches.... :smokin

just missed the 500th post...lol

but I get to show this smiley:

sorry Machine.... I wanted to get the update up at the top of the page.... ;-)

I'm thinking of a new niche here for the contest, Clits Like Dicks. Sure winner right there!

No problem Amp - It's your gig in the first place ;)

And it's coming along pretty well - looking forward to it :thumbsup

Cheers,
Machine

I've heard they get bigger the more you masturbate...

Again, I digress.

I still don't have any idea what kinda site I wanna do..... :arcadefre

Damnit Im not scrolling through this fucking thread again man, did someone say they were regitering as URL in conjunction with this event now or what? hehehe Sounds like its gonna be an Annual Showdown now, and by that it deserves its own fucking URL and contestant profile pages ;)


Wake n Bake



*bowl*

yes, it does.... it's at: http://gfydesigncontest.com except JPFDude is sleeping or something so it's got nowhere near the info as this page: http://www.opticalamplitude.com/showdown/index.html


he'll most likely transfer that page to the domain when he wakes from his beauty sleep.

I hate people who can sleep, I havent slept more than 5 hours at a time in over 2 years, Im beginning to wonder if its at all healthy. ;)

How can someone sleep, I swear if I get up during the night to piss, I gotta turn one of my machines on and check something or look at somethin... damn this anxiety, and damn my compulsions!

Eh nevermind, cool, nice little URL...

Ahhh I just noticed the "Annual" addition, nice...


<img src=http://popcornsex.com/annual.gif>

Wasn't hadded to the list on the site...

Houdini: Make a small badge-like GFY Design Contest "Participant" type buttons using the style you did on the logo and ill put it up on my design page ;) Nothing big, small, chicklet size

Since I KNOW I am seeing hits from Amps page, I want to return the hits and/or traffic back, so I would link the "gfy showdown" page with the damn chicklet...

:winkwink:

got him. :thumbsup

Great idea Fletch, I'll do something up.

Man people this thread is getting stupid long.Im lost now I have to start reading to figure out what the hell is going on.
