Alright we can let Daddy decide the committee members, any suggestions for em tho?
Its gonna be 1 mod (Daddy)

3 gfxrs
Im sure he has no clue on who to choose for the 3 gfxrs so maybe we could help him with that rofl.
Recricognition
rofl that awkward scilence anyway any suggestiveness for Committee members? We need 3 gfxers and 3 non gfxers.
ONE THING WE FORGOT ONE THING WE FORGOT!!!!!!!!!!
Can't post the summary without it.
The actual schedule of the Competition!!?!?!?!
I saw it be posted before but I can't find it.......
So something that looked like this:
Week 1: ...................................
Week 2: ...................................
Week 3: ...................................
Week 4: ...................................
I kinda have one thing planned for the last week. So could you guys repost that thing or build a new one??? ASAP!!!!!!!
This thread is finally slowing down lol
Week 1: Entries. PM the mod responsible for the competition with your entry.
Week 2: The mod responsible with the entries will make a voting thread, the replies cannot be seen by anyone that is not a moderator.
Week 3: Results.
Week 4: Competition 2 starts.

Recognition goes to Panda :)
Definitely max at 500 :). They will be giving 6 people gems each month, so if they give out too much for one person.... there would be 5 more people and would mean others will somewhat have similar amounts. So it would be a bit too much
NOTE 1:
Remember, we are doing this in the first place because we enjoy gfx and its fun, not because we are getting gems. Daddy was nice and came up with the idea of giving us gems, which we didnt think of before. So no need to make a big deal if we get a lot or little
How is:
Advanced:
1st 500
2nd 350
3rd 200
Beginner:
1st: 400
2nd: 250
3rd: 100
NOTE 2: If im right, Daddy NEVER said we are doing 1st, 2nd, 3rd places. Plus, because of it the gem amount is kinda low (:rolleyes:), so we might be better if only 1st place got the gems(btw this is not making a big deal. Simply a suggestion). Daddy did only say the winner will get the gems. So if thats the case we could
Advanced winner: 1000 gems
Beginner winner: 750 gems
its better in my opinion. We could lower it a bit if Daddy thinks it is too much.
If im right, someone(maybe blackbeltpanda, correct me if im wrong) said that the winner should have a cooldown, which is one competition. And i agree with it.
So who agrees with this reply??
yep :D
Bolded and wrote the current status of this thread. lets change the OP and explain everything we got so far! :)
EDIT: sorry thought recricon was OP, oops
Actually...
Since the Committee came in, I was hoping to give the last week to get the committee sorted for the next competition which starts Week 5/the start of the month. Or having the 3 week cycle will confuse people...
My version would look something like this:
Day 1: Notification sent to ALL those in that competition.
Week 1: Entries start filling in...
Week 2 & 3: Voting starts, no more entries.
Week 4: Committee plans next comp and Results released whenever possible in the week...
Would this work?? It'd make 2 jobs at once though....
How about half half? 3 weeks, 7 days a week.
3 x 7 = 21 days
so half half would be 10.5 days of entries and 10.5 days of voting. Simply open up the entry thread in the middle of a day. After that day, 10 more days
then voting starts at the exact same time entries began. Then that day is over, 10 more days and ....
success! comp 1 is done :)
Will this do?
Day 1: All artists in that competition get notified about the thread via PM/VM.
Week 1 and 2: Entries fill the museum. (A closed thread ATM)
Week 3: Museum thread opens and Voting is permitted.
Week 4: The Committee generates new ideas for the next competition and posts results.
And yeah, the committee needs that 1 week for a lot of replacing and all. That's why there's 6 of them (excluding Daddy) to share the work.
Beginner and advanced should get same amount of gems.
Lol... This would just be discouraging newer gfxers.... Idk tho.
No it won't. In fact, it'd be encouring new gfxers. If the prize is higher in the advanced, then they'll keep practising until they qualify for it and know they have a chance of winning, then join the advanced competition, and by that time, he/she will be a professional in our forum.
But if it's only one winner, they will lose hope in placing.
Daddy will have a hard time finding our finalised idea... I think we should have top 3 with decent prizes, advanced and beginner the same.
1st 750
2 500
3 250
yes but no. Correct post but wrong idea. Read more bit down on the second option for gems
Actually... You could be on to something.
it could be both competitions having 1000 gems each as a reward for the winner(or less if daddy thinks its too much)
Not that person's fault he or she is placed in the beginner section. A winner is still a winner. Who cares if your advanced, that beginner is gonna reach the place your at now anytime at some point anyway. Just because your advanced, your getting more gems than a beginner? I changed my mind, i kinda want it the same gem amounts now....anyone agree?
See now this is what i mean by my post before when i said that this is being over thinked.....
3 places PLS. If it's one spot we will still be discouraging newer gfxers! 3 places with lower amounts.
my numbers:
750
500
250
WHAT'S THE AMOUNTTTTTTT THOUGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gawdddddd
Personally I think we should only do prizes for first and have begginners be less than advanced. This will inspire people to do better therefore making it so there are more people who are expirienced and have good work. But hey, this is just my 2 cents.
Begginer: 450
Advanced: 650
Not too high not too low but still enough to do something with.
You guys are taking the details too far... we should get the basic system down , whos gonna run it etc... if Daddy approves ALL OF THIS then he can appoint the Committee and THEN he can talk to supercell about the prizes but I think we should worry about the prizes later.
This is what's been suggested so far:
Great shoutout to everyone who took down ideas and debated alongside each other for a long time to still be indecisive on plans :rolleyes: But from the Cold War, we derive the following.
We require a new sub-forum for Competitions... where only Moderators/Staff and the Committee Members can post. Why should Committee members have the privilege you may ask? So the Staff doesn't have to be the busiest people around and keep running endlessly per day...
At the start of next month, we hit off with the beginner and intermediate competition. For the first comp, you get to choose where you want to participate in, you CAN'T ENTER BOTH! The comp will run for one month, following into the 2nd Comp next month. The COMMITTEE will try to fit people into different categories and perhaps provide a schedule/list with all the preparations needed to know. Including proper rules of each competition like Panda stated before: Max Size: 500 x 300 (THIS IS AN EXAMPLE SIZE!!!) and many more rules.
You must be wondering what is this Committee anyways... it's a group...
This COMMITTEE will consist of people who aren't actually participating, around 7 people at least/most. Daddy + 3 GFX Artists + 3 Non-Artists are the selected types of people for this Committee. They will decide experience of people based on a few of the artist's works. Then a list will be given out and people will be notified each stage of the comp. This group has the power to post in this sub-forum...
No corruption or biased people must be allowed in as it will ruin the competition; this committee is chosen by Daddy.
This is the exact order the Comp should run:
Day 1: All artists in that competition get notified about the thread via PM/VM.
First 10.5 Days: Entries are allowed in. You'll be told EXACTLY when entries close so you don't have problems. The entries pile up in the Museum - a Closed thread ATM.
Second 10.5 Days: Voting begins as soon as the Museum thread is opened.
Remaining Days of the Month: The Committee prepares the next
When the Committee feels ready (Dependent on the amount of participation in both comps) there'll be another comp for the Experts added. This comp can be removed any time due to the lack of entries...
Finally, the winners are based on the amount of votes their work receives... Since no CnC or showing others is allowed before the results are out for that comp, the work is not going to anonymous...
Meaning you won't know who you're voting on, therefore making it less biased.
Other than the Committee and the Staff, no one is allowed to post a thread. But they can reply. Their votes will be in a thread that starts off closed but opens up when time comes.
The prizes are also gifted by SuperCell in the form of Gems. Both comps shall be treated equally and therefore have the same amount of gems:
*1st Place: 500 Gems
*2nd Place: 350 Gems
*3rd Place: 200 Gems
That's all this community got to planning. If the ideas keep building, some writer like me will post another update.
If I've missed anything please do tell me... :p
Who's satisfied and who's unsure
Lastly, remember that this is a suggestion built up from the community and not guaranteed.
Thanks for no recognition :(
Eitherway great summary hopefully this helps Dadday.
Now read the recognition :)
ahaaha t'was a joke , anyway who do you think we should appoint for committee? I can take up one of the jobs for a gfx artist :P
That leaves 2 gfx artist spots and 3 non gfx artists.
Depends mainly on Daddy to choose tho but Id rather help than participate in competitions <3 Helping > Winning helping pleases me more for some reason (dont ask)
Let's keep it at that. We've organised all we need to.
Rest is up to Daddy.
Gj germii that is correct
This one time, at band camp....
We had a competition
And then, This one time, at band camp....
We found gems
And then, This one time, at band camp....
Hehe
Seems like a great idea
So I get back and this is on page 30... Great, time to catch up -_-
Guys this is heartwarming to see you guys working together on this and thanks Germ for keeping a summary going.
I'll keep this thread open for the weekend then discuss with the mods - looking at the enthusiasm everyone has for this project i'm quite stoked about running this.
I do think each category competition needs to be a week long at max though - a month is a LONG time on the internet.
LOVE the idea of doing the beginner then the intermediate and culminate with expert - and forgive me if this has been suggested but why don't we then have a vote on the top three for each category as kind of a grand finale?
I give up, cbs reading it all lol. Got to about page 25 :p Designing my first GFX in weeks... Can't wait till this is all set up! Also, for judging who's 'pro' and who's not, we can have a mini competition series and the winners get placed in the advanced group- this could solve the problem rather than experience, age, when you started, etc. Just a suggestion.
How will the committee be chosen? Could I be on it?
