Okay, it's been talked about already and you may have stated your opinion, but please vote again.

Proposition CC2 states that another Comic Contest Forum be created for the "lesser" contests, like Finish This Comic, Begin This Comic, World's Worst, What are the Rules to this Comic, Serial Comic etc. so that the original ideals, like the Comic Contest and the Comic Cup be held in the highest regard like they should.

So vote YES on Proposition CC2, or be damned forever!

Yes!

YES!

Either that or put them in Comic Showcase.

I vote yup!, which is the way we say yes down south.

Nyet!

I abstain.

I'm fine with it happening, but I don't think I like the idea enough to endorse it.

Overwhelmingly, YES.

Yes... YES! YES! YES! OH GOD YES! YES!

Oui! Ja! Si! Da! Po! Na-ahm! Bai! Ya! Ano! Jah! Kylla! Nai! 'Ai! Ken! Hanji! Igen! Sea! Hai! Ne! Certe! Jou! Iva! Ae! Ho! Tak! Sim! Ava! Eia! Ai! Ndiyo! Oo! Amam! Avunu! Vang! Ie! Ewe! Yes!

(don't ask me; this came up when i google-imaged yes.)

Does anyone else think the girl in the dungarees looks like Rene Auberjonois?

AYE!

hhhhm

i guess so

I also think we should be able to edit and delete our own posts. Who's with me?!

Nothing personal, Kajun, but I can't understand why anyone else would even think of supporting separate forums for the contests you like, and for the ones you don't like. I don't think anyone since before Copernicus has suggested the world revolves around you.

For that matter, I don't fully understand why you'd vote for it. I'd much rather have the clutter within one forum on a general subject, with threads I could choose to skip, than the clutter of a whole 'nother forum.

But maybe I'm just weird.

I also think you hit the nail on the head when you said "clutter". It seems like most want a less cluttered forum for the more competitive contests and that seems to be the issue.

The reason why I refer to some comic competitions as "lesser" is because they're redundant and unwarranted. Most of the competitions we've got going on ought to just be part of the original Comic Contest. World's Worst is a great example because it was an installment of the original CC.

When I look at these other competitions, I think "Here's a competition that was started by someone unclear on the concept of the Comic Contest. Someone who didn't think he should have to wait until he won a contest to start one." If I wanted to see another World's Worst contest I'd just wait until I won a CC and then make one (there's no rule that says that the same idea can't be used twice; it's pretty much certain to happen sooner or later, if it hasn't already). If I had a great idea for a "Rewrite this comic with different graphics" contest, I'd wait until I won a CC and then make one. I could start a new "type" of competition, and since I'm an old hand around here I doubt anybody would say anything to me about it. But I don't, because I know the first little thing about self-restraint, and I know that my particular ideas don't deserve special treatment any more than anyone else's.

You could argue that the fact that people enter these competitions means they have popular support and therefore should stay around. But the truth, illustrated by the abortive "BCC" and "MINSA" competitions, is that people will enter pretty much anything. Eventually we'll have so many competitions that the ratio of competition types to users is so bad that there's no substance in any of them. And even then, people will keep creating more, just because they want their own vanity competition.

These competitions clutter the forum and dilute the original CC. If it were up to me, I'd do away with them all and tell everyone to keep it in the original CC where it belongs. In comparison, I don't think stuffing the lesser competitions in some forum ("Theme Competitions"?) where the rest of us can pretend they don't exist is such an unreasonable request.

Have at it.

Shatter my dreams, bitch.

Comic Competitions

Compete in a variety of user-run comic competitions.

First you remove the comics compos you don't like and place them in a low-grade out of the way forum. Next thing we know you're invading Poland. Didn't we learn anything from history class and TV?

I think we need a Stripcreator Ruling Council to decide these things. The SRC will consist of a non-rotating membership of Kajun, Kaufman, Chicka, Perm, DX, Crabby, Spankling, Big Evil Dan, Boorite, habnem, andydougan, myself and a rotating member who is the current Cup champion. Makk_Benn would also be a member of the SRC, but his vote wouldn't count. Chicka gets two votes. Bazilla, Boinky, and Unfum are honorary SRC members who get to vote on odd Thursdays.

Brad will be Supreme Emperor and will be the tie breaking vote and hold non-overridable veto power over any of the SRC's decisions.

The SRC will have the power to define and charter new competitions, and cancel or revoke uninteresting or unworthy competitions. The SRC will also be able to review competition results and override the award of "winner" if the SRC deems the winning entry to be not funny enough. In which case the SRC will designate the new winner or start the next competition itself if no entrants are found to be sufficiently funny as to warrant running a competition.

There will also be an SRC in absentia consisting of wirthing, gabe, Ladyj, descolada, Neovid, DexX, Skagg, drexle, Jael, and Lara7. The SRCIA will have the power to depose the SRC and take control if they all happen to show up and agree to do so.

Actually, I am yanking your chain, and I really don't think there should be a ruling council. Forget I said anything.

It's not as if anyone's proposing to ban these competitions - all we're asking is that they be housed somewhere else to prevent the Comic Competition thread being clogged up with ego trips.

I don't really see any reason to have yet another contest forum.

I should be the honorary newb member of the Council. And smamurai should be my toadie. Or sex slave. ...Or husband.

....what the fuck are you talking about? Tree rape? Is this Evil Dead 2? Are we in Inglewood? Are you Bruce Campbell? Is Sam Raimi over our heads? No! I didn't think so.

And it's SU-mac or BIG-mac, not TAR-mac. Silly.

So I guess I'd be part of this council right now, on the counta' I jes' won a CC. Ha-hyck.

Oh, I forgot. Evil_D would be... ummm... Minster of Evil.

Trees move in the LOTR world dude, you can't take a short walk in the Old Forest whithout being gently masturbated by a fern or a poison ivy. Anyway, me an Radagst are turning it into a carpark to cater for customers looking for cheap dealys at old Tom Bombadils Cash & Carry. If you can find it cheaper he will give you a free meal*

btw has Possums finished resurfacing the Shire yet? I got a whole Old Forest that needs covering in tarmac and he is the only one who realy enjoys tree-rape.

Did they really address the Bombadil scenario in the movie? It must be in the deleted scenes if so, because it certainly was not in the theater version.

Also, I've got something for you, smam...

Mickey, tell Mikey the burden is heavy in my pants.

Can do, Mr. smamurai, sir.

Hey, Mikey! smamurai says his pants are heavy with bourbon!

WTF???????
LLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL
OOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOO
LLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL!

Oh, how I lol.

Hey Mickey old boy, do me a fav and stick me in your favourites.

Are the polls still open? If so, I vote no to Prop CC2! I don't like the new contests either, which is why I think they don't warrant a whole new forum.

I plan on just winning the next FTC, BTC, CC,Comic Cup, Tag Team Comic Cup and World's Worst. I will then never make a new competition and put an end to this nonsense. THE MADNESS MUST END!

Here's the deal: I won a comic contest many moons ago (for the sake of my ego, I'll point out that I've won quite a few), the theme for the next contest was that you had to make a series of comics involving Horse and Bear in some kind of crime caper, if I were to make a contest where all you did was make comics using these characters again and again and again and again and again, it'd become boring, which (in my opinion) is what the FTC, BTC, WW have become. If you want to use one particular CC idea to death, then fair enough, but all I'm asking is that you have you're own forum to do so, and I seem to have gained enough support to suggest you do so, so please, do so.

Kaufman: if it were just me who was bitching and moaning about the abundance of stupid meaningless contests, I'd agree with you, but it isn't , I appear to have the majority, so I don't see why I should be put into a bold font or even capitalised.
