No. It will be stated if so. This is just so we don't have 90% of those who say they are going to enter, select games or anims or what have you in the competition that others may want just to sit on their selection and do nothing.

This competition doesnt have this rule in place.



I will consider extension.


So are you saying that if we opted in for GtL and did not submit and entry, we can still enter this one?
I'm all down for accepting the consequences of breaking an agreement by signing up for a competition and selecting a theme that would keep other people from selecting the same one and screwing them out of what they want. Especially to not come through with my part of the deal and submit something. That's pretty unfair. However, I do feel like this competition in particular should be an exception because different participants in the same category are allowed to pick the same two animations. So there is no way people could get screwed out of a theme for their animation in this competition. The list could be saved for the next competition that requires people to choose a more specific and unique topic such as the GTL competition, and we could use this competition as a way to give those who failed to submit in the last competition a means to rebuild their trustworthiness and perhaps get their name taken off the blacklist.

Regardless of your answer I'm sure the others will accept their fate as well and continue to love you unconditionally :D

He's saying that if you opted in to gtl2 and didn't make an entry, you can not participate in this contest. However, you will be able to enter contests after this one, as the penalty only applied to the very next contest after gtl2. Moreover, opting into this contest and not creating an entry will not create any penalties relating to future contests, because opting into this one doesn't really screw other people into not animating what they wanted (except maybe a couple rare cases), like it did with gtl2.

Arch understands whaf he's saying lol
What Arch is saying is that maybe the rule should be pushed to a different competition since in this one, sitting on a title isn't as big a deal since you can have as many of one title as you want as long as you mix it with something different

I was basing what I said off of this:

I interpreted what Stone said this way: The original penalty of gtl2 was there to make sure that everyone finished what they signed up for to discourage sitting on a title and not making anything. But since that obviously did not work, what you are saying makes a lot of sense too.

It seems I've misinterpreted stone's ruling on the GTL eligibility rule. So uhm, just ignore everything we've said about it and carry on >_>

- Must have a 'main menu' with title of animation and crediting links to stickpage ( you can grab the logo from the preloader )
This is the only rule that confuses me. Are we required to make a menu such as the one in TopStick?

Yes. You should check the menus from the GTL entries as well, just to see how they do it.

In that case I commit one of my gayest acts since the yaoi allusions with Ai: I'm quitting while I'm ahead, just realized that I'm way over my head considering the environment and condition I'm currently in.

Also, during the 30-mins I spent with AS2, I don't think I'll handle all the shtick with it.

It seems my question went by incognito, so I'll let myself repost it.

Also, when you say we have to "merge the two animations", does it mean we HAVE to take the plots of the animations in consideration? I was thinking about merging the visual + audio styles of two animations, but not including the characters/scenarios. Is this allowed or will it be considered irelevant ?


Thanks for any kind of answer xoxo
