That's okay, I thought I was sure to win with the church one. I worked long and hard on it. *ahem*

Jebus, I thought I didn't stand a chance on this one. I don't even know what I was thinking when I made it. Something like "sign... flood... camel!"

What others say about boorite!

I came so close to doing this one last night, but I couldn't think of a good way to combine Mr T and the sign...

I also came close to doing this one with a couple of severed legs laying in the middle of the road, but I wasn't sure if I could find the legs, and I wasn't sure if it would be funny...

True story: When taking the computer test for my learner's permit, I was shown a picture of this sign, with a multiple choice question asking what it signifies. The options were a 4-way intersection, a pedestrian crossing, a cemetery, or a church.

Like I said, there were many worthy contenders. I had it down to one of Fuzzyman's, one of DexX's, and boorite's and finally decided to award boorite's because it was less obvious than the others. Being "not obvious" is not necessarily a criterion I would use regularly, but that was how I was feeling last night...

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

No hard feelings - I was just having a whine. I want to win the next one, because I have found a fun theme for it.

Incidentally, I couldn't help but notice that DCCVCT is alive and well...

Who knows what fear lurks in the hearts of men? MIKE BOBSICO KNOWS! And if you give him a decent tip when he delivers your mail , he might tell you.

Kaufman made me do it!

Skagg - DCCVCT is DexX's Comic Contest Victory Conditions Theorem, which states that an author's confidence of their strip (or, in this case, image) winning a contest is inversely proportional to its actual chance of winning. Hence, if you think you will win, you won't, and you will only win if you are sure you won't. One addendum I have made regards multiple entries - if you sumbit multiple entries, and one of them wins, it will be the one you thought was the weakest.

Why haven't I won any CC's then?

I am not 16 going on not 17, I know that I'm naive.

You just used a logical fallacy, known as denying the antecedent. I stated that you can only win if you are sure you won't, which in proper logical form is: IF (you are sure you will win) THEN (you will not win), which can be transformed via modus ponens (denying the consequent) into IF NOT (you will not win) THEN NOT (you are sure you can win). That last bit in regular English is: If you win, then were were not sure you would.

In an IF...THEN proposition, you cannot assume that, because the antecent (the IF bit) is false (denying the antecedent), then the consequent (the THEN bit) is also false. Think about this: IF it is sunny THEN my clothes will dry. Let's say it is not sunny, and you throw your damp clothes in the tumble dryer. The antecedent is false, but the consequent is true, yet the proposition itself is still true - had it been sunny, you would have put your clothes out and they would have dried.

In the same way, looking at the proposition IF (you are sure you will win) THEN (you will not win) and deny the antecedent (I am NOT sure I will win) then the consequent is not necessarily going to be false as a result.

That probably made no sense, but my critical thinking skills have been going rusty, and I needed an excuse to exercise them.

Right?

We are also talking about "necessary" vs. "sufficient" conditions. Being sure you won't win is a necessary condition to winning, but it is not sufficient to ensure your winning.

What others say about boorite!

I've only ever won two contests, a CC and a Photoshop one, both times I was very confident that I had it "in the bag".

However, the last couple of CC's I've entered, and Comic Cup's I've competed in, I've been quite confident and have been repeatedly shot in the face, with cum (not bullets).

Kajun, you should of won at least 3 of the last 15 CC's

---
I am not 16 going on not 17, I know that I'm naive.

To be honest, I don't see the point in entering a contest unless you're confident you're going to win.

seems a bit silly to me.

This applies for me as well, except for one notable exception -- The Comic Cup. For some reason, when I enter a Cup my competitive instict hits high gear and I just knowwhen I have a winner. The notable exception being against Wirthling in the last final, when I thought I had a 50/50 chance and got stomped.

Have him throw the sign hella far. Or do a Mr T Versus series.
