Comic Cup VIII - Sign up here!

I'm afraid I'm leaving game shows to one side for this one. This tournament will be a Comic Cup/Serial Comic hybrid.

At the beginning of every round, I'll write the first comic of a serial. Players then compete in one-on-one matches to write further installments of the serial. There will then be a vote on which comic was better, and the job of the next competing pair will be to write the follow-up to that winning comic. The last pair in the round will have the task of concluding the story.

So round one should result in a nine-part serial comic (my intro plus the eight winning entries), with rounds two, three and four yielding five-, three- and two-part serials respectively.

Oh, yeah. The comics will also have to comply with one rule in round one, and two rules in all later rounds. The rules in round one will be provided by yours pedantically; ousted contestants will provide the rules for future rounds.

If you'd like to take part in this Comic Cup, send me a rule at andydougan@yahoo.co.uk. This is to ensure that no fly-by-nights sign up and then disappear without contributing a rule. You'd better state your intention to take part in this thread, too, so other entrants see who they're up against.

I just sent Andy email. It contained a rule or two. Join in this cup if you'd like to defeat me.

Consider my ass entered in this here Cup, I promise not to enter any alter-egos and bail out again.

By the way, I think Fuzzyman's going to win!

FPD is the foremost plague on discussion boards. Do your part to stomp out FPD.

Assuming crabby and Dan get their respective rules in, that's eleven contestants. Five more needed!

"Life Sucks, Then you Die. The bit inbetween isnt very funny either"

Currently i have a heavy dose of the Flu , this my rule is not the kind of thing a sane , sensible , healthy person would come up with.

In fact , its downright nuts.

"Life Sucks, Then you Die. The bit inbetween isnt very funny either"

You know, andy... as you go along, maybe you should maintain a separate thread to post the winning cartoons from each round so we can keep track of the story easier. (Hey, I'm easily confused). Maybe Brad could make you moderator of it so that only you could post to it.

Or maybe you could just screen capture the winners and put them on a web page.

Just throwing out ideas...

Oh, and I suppose I should take this opportunity to warn you that I'll be unable to get to a computer from Feb 14 - 18, so if we could work around that I'd appreciate it.

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.

Good idea. I don't know if you can be moderator of a single thread, though. I think I'll just start a normal thread for the winning comics and hope that no one else disrupts it too much.

We have space for one more contestant, by the way.

Is it just me surprised that Gabe hasn't entered yet?

Gabe never joins in our reindeer games any more.

*sniffle*

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

What about DexX and Spankling, they're the ones I can notice that haven't entered and maybe should have, I still want to see Brad enter the CC's and the Comic Cups ah well.

---

Well, as we know, Gabe is busy playing with his wood.

DexX is without Internet access for a bit and is passing the time by going insane.

Spankling is, uh, well, you don't want to know what he's up to...
