I think there oughta be some awards that are CC specific. I mean, if hell should freeze over one day and I win a CC, I would like to be giving awards. It's a much easier system for me.

there is an award that is CC-specific: winner. if you're talking about FTC-style side games... well, that's what FTC is for. personally, i don't much like the FTC vibe, what with everyone competing for various different "prizes," but the straightforward (and time-honored) approach of the CCs suits me fine. assuming you wanted my forty-seven cents, there it is.

that said, if you win a CC, you can make the rules for the next one anything you want. if they're stupid, no one will enter; it's nice and self-policing that way.

I like it better when there are lots of different awards, because that way I have a better chance of winning one of them.

I love winning meaningless awards to boost my own self esteem. Awards for no reason would be a great idea.

If you speak to Streetproject in this way, he/she will perceive it as rudeness and be hurt by your apparently rude manner. I have already discovered this earlier, and am sharing my experience with you.

This thread is stupid, I'm moving it to "Regarding Stripcreator".

Also: I am confused by the idea that possums is putting forth, if you win a contest you want an award? Like, sent in the post to your house? Other than being able to walk around saying "I won Comic Contest 83" what do you actually want?

The idea of various other meaningless awards is pointless, although when I'm running a contest I usually give out a "Kajun Firefly Flaming Bag of Crap Award" to mock the worst entrant, some people actually take honour in receiving this, so it's really up to you if you win to invent such things.

It's worth noting that I was the first ever person to win the aforementioned award. ^_^

Boorite won CC 83 though. Unless...

...possums is planning on killing boo and stealing his award, in which case possums will receive the donkey punch of death.

Okay, this is how I understand it:
Either 1. You're not good enough to win a CC and you want some kind of award to make you feel better because you keep entering and keep losing. Therefore you at least want your work and effort recognized.

My response to this option: There are honorable mentions. If you put in a worthy effort, you will be rewarded with seeing your name in bold, to live on for eternity in the stripcreator forums... well, until brad decides to let the threads fall off the face of SC because there are too many ala General Discussion.

Or 2. You want some kind of badge or image to show off how wonderful you must be for winning more contests than someone else.

Response: Most people add that kind of info to their profile, because they're vain and have nothing better to offer than to say "I won this award, aren't I so cool?" No offense, that's just kind of how I view it when I see those things. You could do this, with a link provided to the CC you have won. However, maybe you should think about how long you've been here before comparing yourself... if you've been here two years and you're comparing yourself to a so-called "newbie", of course you're likely to have more awards than them.

In conclusion, it took me quite a while to win my first CC (over a year, I think), and I also believe I didn't actually deserve it. In other CCs I have faith that I have made my comics better and I have worked to get as universally humorous as possible. Maybe instead of moaning and complaining that you have no awards for the things you've done, you could make funnier comics. Just a thought.

I still consider top shit to be a person who wins a Comic Cup, though. Since those are long and voted upon.

I don't much understand that. How does Kaufman not have a toprated comic? Is it more because he himself has influenced SC more than his comics have? If so, we should have a topuser.php.

That entire list is all old-school forum regs, I wonder if one of the "second generation" users will win this one.

the toprated comics list sucks 'cause no one votes enough. in fact, here's my official plea to get everyone to vote for my only comic that's semi-deserving, which you can see by clicking on my front page.

incidentally, i was going to make a snide remark about how i hosed kaufman out of Cup V, until i realized that Wirthling wound up beating me in the final. suddenly, it doesn't seem like such a victory anymore. (:

I think it's kind of cool how CC and FTC are different, if CC had awards, it would take away most of the point of FTC, because basically FTC is a CC with specific rules and awards.
