A Simple Rules Favor from you MODS

[Marz]

Umm.. As the current cartoon battle.. I'm not going to argue a point over it because I actually turned somehting in.. But.. As FAR as I knew.. These were the rules :



Theme: Create your own cartoon monster.
Programs: Flash Only
Size: Maximum of 400x400
Participants: AJCrowley, Kitiara, Playamarz, Ilyas
Due Date: January, 23, 2002 (One week from today)


Now... I think it's semi-unfair for us to be given a set of rules.. Then come back and read this:



Theme: Create your own cartoon monster.
Programs: Flash Only (Scanned Image Optional)
Size: Maximum of 400x400
Participants: AJCrowley, Kitiara, Playamarz, Ilyas
Due Date: January, 23, 2002 (One week from today)


Now... I understand that we should keep track of the battles we are in and everything.. But I'd just assume get the main rules and go for it.. I mean... Once you get a set of rules stating that you are to do this and only this.. You kind-a get that mind set... And I don't think it should be changed... Mod rulings are mod rulings..

I don't wanna make it seem like I'm just complaining cause I know my character sucked.. (which I did know...).. I'm just complaining cause my hand drawing skills are about 50 times better than my mouse drawing.. And if I had known I would've been able to make something worthy of at least a mention...

Sorry if this seems like complaining.. I really did like your entries guys.. Just kind-a mad about the in-battle changes made.. :(

Sorry that was my fault.


After I posted the rules it seemed that many of the people wanted to back out because they couldn't use a scanner so I put that up. But then the ones who didn't want it were arguing about it and saying that it was pointless.


So grrr.. It was a half and half and since there were mods already in the battle I just told them that if it was decided not to do it then take that out.


Apparently nothing officially was decided :(



I accept responsibility for that and I am sorry.

yeah this does seem unfair...if this happens you could at least PM the participants to tell them. i know when i used to battle (at the begining) that i got the rules and that was it...i never looked at the thread...

[eilsoe]

I know...

I had to change the new pixelbattle rules to suit SOME people :P

but, it wasn't all bad, only minor adjustments...


but yes, that will be the LAST time I change the rules after the battle has started... that shouldn't be!

[lostinbeta]

Same here.


Now my rule for battles is once I post the rules that is it!


And if people don't like it... they can back out.


CHICKENS!!! ;)...lol.

[Marz]

It's not all your fault..

It's just that I seem really jaded by it.. And didn't mean to complain.. man I've been getting into arguments lately.. VB vs C++.. MAcs vs PCs.. and now this.. E-gads.. I think I'll just shut up.. :(

[eilsoe]

RIGHT ON!!



*edit: to lost's post, not to you playa :)

Well I went with the original rules, and didn't use a scanner - that's why the whole thing is so much simpler than my usual stuff. I drew it on paper first and had that next to me while I was faffing around with the mouse, but I didn't scan it in. :smirk:
