*Nods*

Fair enough. I've only won at PureZC twice, so most of my shots are still fair game, then. I'll be submitting shortly.

Sounds fair.

Well, there goes any chance of me winning. Oh well, at least I can get a vote here. Any time I enter at Pure ZC, I don't get a single vote.

Hey, dude, don't be discouraged! Just 'cause I'm entering doesn't mean you're screwed. Your last week's entry was very good.(Better than at least 2 or 3 of my entries at Pure). Besides, I'm going in chronological order for re-entering my shots(the ones I like, at least) so my best ones might not be for a bit.

I sent my entry to Russ, Pineconn and Joe. Did you all receive it?(And is it really necessary for me to send it to Bobrocks and Amaster?)

It's preferred that you send it to me and Amaster as well, for the time being. Soon we should have another user set up, in which case that would no longer be necessary.

You know, I swear I've seen Plissken's shot in a Pure ZC SotW before. Maybe we should make a rule that if you have entered a screenshot at Pure ZC's SotW, you can't re-enter it here.

That's a load of poppy-cock if I ever saw it. He only made it on Sunday, and if I'm correct, Sunday was, ooh let's see, three days ago? So on a technicality you're cheating in a way. And to be honest, I've never seen that screen before. Except when he posted it in chat, asking whether or not to submit it to AGN's SotW.

So therefore, you are lying Russadwan. EPIC FAIL.

And if I get banned because of this, meh.

I'm.... Pretty sure the screen wasn't made on Sunday, only submitted then. And we've now determined that a very similar screen won at Pure, and Russ was only guessing based on that screen.

Plissken hasn't won a PureZC SotW since SotW 193. And the screen isn't even similar! Sure, it might be the same area, but that doesn't mean it's the same flipping screenshot.

Russadwan was simply mistaken.(It is a very similar shot) I don't think you should be banned for that post, but... c'mon, be nice, nobody here is trying to be malicious.

(BTW, because of your name... are you Taco Chopper?)

-.-

Ok, yes I did make that screen on last sunday, and yes I entered another screen from that same area over at Pure. I've seen other people enter 'similar shots' before, and until people got to about 4-5 shots of the same style people didn't really care. I'd appreciate it if we could just move on, the subject isn't that big of a deal.

EDIT: Just saw LiH's post: Similar shot or not, it's a different shot, and two different contests. Unless I start duplicated all my 'winnings' over at pure (have one) it doesn't matter. Two different sites, two different competitions.

Simply mistaken? Meh. I've watched you and him spam the Pure boards endlessly and turn it into the place it is now. It's angered everyone, to be honest. We're just too lazy to say it to you out loud.

Yes, I am Taco Chopper. Don't ask. It's a long story.

I never said that shot should be illegitimate, only that it would be easy for Russ to get it mistaken. I think it's a wonderful shot, and I voted for you.

Hey, I thought we were cool now that I've taken a spamming chill-pill?

EDIT: Yeah, wait, weren't we just talking like... uh... friends about music not too long ago? Are you just pissed today or something?

Who knows, and who cares. I don't think Russ has. All the new noobs annoy me.

But enough of me. I think everyone's probably not wanting an outburst from someone on the first SotW at AGN. Mind, this is probably the most amount of posts I've made here in a day.

Actually, Joe and I are the two most in charge in SotW. Russ and Bobrocks are in charge of Gemstone. And Pineconn just kinda covers everything.

Just a friendly FYI. 😉

I couldn't think of anything constructive, that's why I haven't posted yet. They all just look good. Although Plissken's and Russ' are the best, and I really like Joe's for some reason. Just the old-school retro look.

Is it just me, or is this thread spiraling off topic?

Ah, that avatar incedent. LiH, I'd say he's just in a bad mood, ignore it.
Edit:

What is that supposed to mean!? Are you accusing me of something?

Amaster- Oops, I thought it was Joe and Russ over here and you and Bob over there, I'll send my shot to you in a minute.

C'mon. I thought you weren't pissed with me anymore. Holding grudges for somebody's behavior as a n00b ain't cool, dude.

russadwan wrote:Is it just me, or is this thread spiraling off topic?

Yeah, but I personally find it funny. However, we're getting close to handing out some official warnings.

Plissken, I merged your posts for you.

Okay, I'm not a mod, but please, try to get back on topic. This is a thread for the discussion and evaluation of the SotW. I posted off-topic above because it was a misconception that might hamper future events, but please try to reserve personal stuff to other forums.

EDIT: Well, if Pineconn's alright with it...

Pineconn wrote:Yeah, but I personally find it funny.

I have to say, I find it somewhat funny too.

Actually, to be technical, you are a mod of this forum, just without the privlages. So, ya, let's get back on topic.

Whoops, I momentarily got our quest-making confused with this stuff:googly:.
You need to send it to at least Joe and Amaster, though it's preferred you send it to me and Russ as well for the time being.

And yes, this thread is way off topic. Russ made a slight error, it was pounced upon, past things were brought up from Pure, etc., but this isn't Pure. Please keep things like these for at least other sections, but not here.

You know, we should ahve a general off topic forum, like how Pure ZC used to have the "DS" forum.

We do. It's called "So..." 😉

You know, looking at Gleeoks more, I'm really appreciating the smoke and stuff. Cool.

Okay, I've been looking for this "So..." forum, but cannot find it. Where is it?

BTW, sorry about going so off-topic, and I won't post here again. Funny new thread title- was that you, Pineconn?

I personally love how good a sport you're being("You" being the Mods here) about our off-topicness. It makes it easier to hear and understand.


BTW, sorry about going so off-topic, and I won't post here again.

Hope you don't mean forever, or that was sarcasm, because we value your input, and you can say stuff in the proper areas.
And So... is a thread of awesomness located in General Discussion.

Okay, after this point let's all keep on topic, eh?
Starting with my question of "Russ, is there any way to modify the pallete to make the water blue? It just looks kinda odd"

LostInHyru1e wrote:Okay, I've been looking for this "So..." forum, but cannot find it. Where is it?

It's a comletly random thread located in General Discussion. But be warned, the subject of the topic can change in the blink of an eye.

Agreed, back on topic.

Well, I guess it would be possible to make the water blue. I see what I can do with the palette editor.

By "Won't post here again", I meant I wouldn't respond to Taco or you or anything else off-topic, but I am now because we're back on topic and...

Russ- I'd say use a different CSet or 8-bit to get the water Blue, instead of editing your original CSet, because that might screw up your entire screen.

Hm, it's worth a try I guess. I'll see what it looks like.

I'm going to submit a shot. Reming me again who I'm supposed to send it to; I'm a little confused about that.
