Spriting Challenges Subforum

[Valerunner]

Does anyone else think it should be back?

It was a hell of a success back in the old forums, so why not?

 

[Retsu]

I don't remember it being a success as much as I remember it being.. dead.

It was much faster than the ASB back then.

It was a success for a bit and then it wasn't.

Also we don't need more cluttery subforums and spriting contests should either be taken to PM or condensed into larger ones.

That would be a good idea, but how would voting go?

 

[Zhorken]

Voting? o.O I thought there was a judge or something?

Regardless, the novelty apparently died, and there are still larger contests, sprite threads, etc to showcase sprites in.

I remember enjoying Spriting Challenges back at the old forums.
Approval from me. If enough people want to do it.

Yes to bringing it back, but no to having it be the same format of "mix two random sprites and poll them." Sprite contests are fun and they need a subforum for themselves.

For anyone who does not know what we're talking about:

You need to log in to view the arty boards, so if you don't have an account there just log in with mine. (username "Xikaze" password was "Blaziken")

It's a head-to-head.

Spriter 1 makes the thread and randomizes two or more Pokemon to sprite, and Spriter 2 has to submit his, then voting starts. Everyone is allowed to vote.

Have contests and challenges in the same forum? Yes please.

Having a subforum just for challenges is dumb, I think.

 

[xkze]

Having Challenge threads in the contest boards would clutter the whole thing up.

Why? They're very similar. If you asked Butterfree, she might even make 'Contest' and 'Challenge' tags for you.

Besides, they're better in the Artist's Lounge anyway.

Sounds good, I guess.

Yeah. Why mixing? And why randomize them? Sure, it levels out the playing field, but often the most creative mixes are from someone saying, "ooh, this would be neat, make a mix of ___ and ___." We had a formula similar to that at PMF, actually-- you specified the type of challenge that you wanted, and then someone would make the board for you.

Besides, mixes are t3h suxxorz.

That's what I meant, but splices are the most common.
