just because the plugin is 96%, it's still not the industry standard bhuto..... you know this is true. You can't really compare a Flash site to a flat site.... they're 2 different animals.

I still personally vote flat only as well for the show.... why? because it keeps things level. Sure, I know... you can do some amazing shit with Flash. But you can also do some amazing shit with alot of other stuff too.... php, asp, coldfusion, shockwave, etc... this shouldn't be about what kind of tricky shit you can do with exotic programs. It's not a job interview.

It should be what you can do within the given guidelines and scope of the event.

I'm tempted to think that Flash would be okay if it was limited to graphical use only.... no audio, no programming, no tricks. But then there will be crying about that too....

either way, this Flash thing needs to be voted on and resolved here soon.... and I think the participating designers should be the ones to vote and decide.... either that or the officials need to get together and make a decision one way or the other on it.

But the 2 category thing isn't gonna work with only one set of prizes... so the Flash needs to either be lumped into the one big show, or given the thumbs down. Unless of course, the prize people wanna specify for "Best Flat Tour" or Best Flash Tour"..... and do the split vote thing, but that just seems like alot of unnecessary complication to me....

my vote goes to no Flash. If it's voted in, that's cool with me too.

no doubt.... I've made some smokin' Flash stuff that had extremely small file sizes...

adamm · 05-16-2002, 07:41 PM

Hey amp, count me in

Can someone out there donate some quality ebony content for the contest. Have a bunch, but it's crap quality, and don't think it would look so good.

bhutocracy · 05-16-2002, 07:43 PM

i guess i see it as showing people what we're capable of.. i know im starting to sound whiney on the issue.. so as i've said.. take it out of prize contention.. someone said this is about "putting up or shutting up" i think that was imtimated earlier.. and since im always defending flash.. why not let me create one you guys can rubbish and say is too big, takes too long etc, etc???

i won't be competing against you (with the flash)..

again.... this looks cool as hell.... but pleeeeeaaaaaase..... you gotta run this through JPFDude.... he's coordinating all this detail stuff, and I haven't spoken with him since this morning so I don't know what he's already got cooked up over there.... I know he has a domain already in the works for this whole thing, so stuff like this will need to integrate into that.

I'd say he is showing what any artist is really about, and thats showing off his skills and his work. If he cant win prizes, doesn't matter to him, he still only wants his work to be seen, I say that in itself brings us back to what this Showdown was about, Talent.

And being an artist whether you design in Flash, Gameboy Pixelation, or Dreamweaver, fuck it, grab some pics and let the slicing begin.

05-16-2002, 08:01 PM

don't know if it's been mentioned before, but I just noticed one thing:

Amp is NOT ONLY gonna win a huge screen TV for his bathroom, but also a DVD player to put on top... if someone throws in a rack and a THX 5.1 Surround System, he'd be set for the cold winter months... lmao

definately....

I was just trying to think of the most fair way to do this for everyone competing...

I personally don't much care one way or the other... I just wanna see some killer shit.

Bring on your Flash bhuto.... I'll still take ya on..... the original post only specified that you make the baddest tour you can in a week. One tour, One week, One vote. Because that's really as simple as I wanted this thing to be..... no restrictions, no by-laws, no stipulations.... just fuckin' do it.

05-16-2002, 08:06 PM

I don't know about other voters, but any flash animation kicks me off the chair, no matter how good the other still images are....

ja.. i expect to get toasted..

.. but it'll be fun in the process.. heheh you're right, flash is an unfair advantage. I'll enter a flat design BUT.. i want to show an unvotable flashed version of it somewhere.

bhutocracy · 05-16-2002, 08:33 PM

thanks for the words fletch..if i can't enter a flat into the comp.. and show an unvotable flash somewhere (which i think will be good for all desgners - to show clients theres more we can do for them).. i'll just do an unvotable flash..

right on..... let's carve this in stone then:

1. Must confirm participation by being listed on the official page (being created now) by noon May 31st. No late entries. (this page will be moving when the "Showdown" site goes live.)

2. No databasing, weird plugins, or hotlinking.

3. Tours must be uploaded and online by the start of the voting which will begin at 1pm (Pacific time). If your tour is not online by the deadline, you are disqualified. (no-brainer there)

4. Must be an adult tour. (cuz if we allowed mainstream and other shit, that's just an ugly place we don't even wanna go to)

5. Must be designed by the person named on the contestant list. (No buying or contracting a tour and putting it up.... anyone can do that)

6. Must be a NEW design... no previously made tours. There's really no way to verify this other than checking the image & file timestamps.

7. Entries must be flat tours only. No Flash, Shockwave, etc. allowed for competition. Showcasing for alternative sites outside the contest guidelines will be available.

8. Tours may not be blatantly designer identifiable until AFTER the competition. What this means is, the voting is going to be anonymous. You can't put your name on the thing or something so that people will instantly recognize who did it. If your particular style is picked up on, that's acceptable (and really unavoidable anyway), but don't "mark" your tour by putting your company url on it or something.
FEMALES: Because of the anonymity factor, do not build a tour using yourself as the model if you are obviously recognizable. We all know how many votes you could draw by doing so. ;-)

9. You may only enter one tour per designer for the competition. You may, however, enter as many as you like for the non-competitive showcase.

================================

wanna try to keep the rule list as small as possible, but if I missed something important, speak up so we can get it posted.

05-16-2002, 08:49 PM

this is gonna be fun !

good job amp !

Hey dude...I'd be -very- interested in seeing some of your flash work. If you would, please email me at [email protected] or hit me up on icq: 109972218 and show me your best stuff

Amputate Your Head · 05-16-2002, 09:02 PM

did we ever reach a decision about whether or not it's gonna be domain of your choosing or if there's gonna be 5 or 6 that everyone must choose from?

Fuck Magick, where have you been??

You prolly don't remember me, we didn't talk all that much, I think we mostly talked around PimpWars though... not too sure.. was talking about you today infact! ;) I last thought Sex.com picked ya up.. but I heard differently

Dude I say I got a domain I'm gonna use, fuck someone picking a domain, bring it back to where you had it, fuck Amp, you started this thing, lay it down bruh.

Pick your own domain, pick your own content, make a site, thats what Im gonna do regardless of what happens hahaha....

I agree, I have a domain and content all ready to go.

Amputate Your Head · 05-16-2002, 09:29 PM

cool deal RaGe...

okay... we're almost starting to resemble order more than chaos.... but a couple things:

1. we still need to decide if we're gonna hafta choose between 5 or 6 domains for everyone (to narrow the scope) or if we free-for-all it and choose your own domain and whatever niche you want. I personally vote for the free-for-all..... makes it more interesting.

2. The voting starts at 1pm Pacific June 7th, 2002.... but we also need a stop time.

3. There's an assload of sweet prizes (thank you all for the incredible prizes!) and a winner-takes-all isn't looking real cool anymore because of that. I think 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places would be better. Which means, we need to split the prize list into what is awarded for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd places..... Obviously, unless someone intends to out do Lensman, the HDTV is the Grand Prize here.... but the rest of the list is a little more difficult to split.... anyone want that job?

that's all I can think of at the moment.....

Amputate Your Head · 05-16-2002, 09:31 PM

looks like number 1 is solved..... free-for-all the domain.

You pick your domain, niche, & content and go.

Amputate Your Head · 05-16-2002, 09:42 PM

9. You choose your own domain, niche, & content. Domain can be one you own, or make-believe. The tours won't be on their domains for the competition anyway, so the names are only for design and niche purposes. Content may be some that you already own, want to buy, plan to shoot, or is sponsored by a provider. (just don't steal the stuff.... ;-)
