The fucking state of this comic, lads.
Have we ever had a draw the comic thread which functions as a semi-game/contest? Example:
Step One - We have signups. Only those who feel they can contribute constructively sign up. This is to keep anyone from going "whee let me join in with some gobshyte and derail it".
Step Two - Each person who signed up gets to go in that particular order. This keeps one person from posting over and over again and ensure that everyone contributes.
Step Three - At the end of each round, when everyone has a go at it, one person gets booted off. Like Survivor or Masterchef or Tough Enough or any other game.
Step Four - Rinse and repeat until we have a last man standing.
I feel that this could be fun and also ensure that the comic remains funny because everyone puts in an effort instead of it descending into a shmoz.

What's the point of the "continue the comic" thread part if we're just gonna try and keep stopping every time someone isn't happy with the flow? I couldn't think up of shit either for the next panel, just post whatever you want. If not just call this the "Stop every minute to please everyone's humor" comic thread.
Fuck it, I may be the only one who actually just doesn't care enough. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What? I never asked anyone to stop the thread at all. Please carry on. I was posing a question, and since all potential comic drawers are here, I posted it here for you all to see.
Did not mean to imply that you or your comics weren't good, and it certainly wasn't addressed at you in particular, sorry dude if it came across that way. :)

Ahh, I misunderstood, apologies. Thought you were calling for a reset, sorry man.

No worries, I should have made that clearer. Would still like some opinions on what I posted though. I think almost everyone who has contributed to the on-going comics so far has produced at least one hilarious post, and if we're constantly forced to bring our A-game to it by treating it as a contest, we could end up with a hilariously absurd coherent comic. But I don't know if I'm being over-ambitious.

I'd like it, of course in another thread though. I feel like this one could just be a "free will" comic thread, if that makes sense, and do your idea on another. I'm pretty sure that's what you're implying. Either way how would you think one would get booted off? The one that's less funny? The one with poor graphics?
Jul 29, 2015 6:25 PM #1388895
We'd have some kind of criteria. The one that is least funny, that doesn't add anything on it's own. Technically it wouldn't be "the one that sucks the most". It would be "the one that is least awesome".

I'd be down for it. I can do spontaneous.

this is going to include cash prizes right?

i'm iffy on voting people off even if everyone did well. i think there should be an option to vote no one off
and i think the next person to make a each panel should be randomized somehow to make things less predictable

Agreed. I wouldn't like people not being able to participate even if they're making worthwhile comics.
I don't know if I like the idea of determined turns. That could slow things down by a lot. I feel like all that's needed is the vote-off thing to encourage people to not post shite

what if every time someone posts a panel, they have to include a strawpoll with two options:
1. This was a total shit panel
2. Decent/Funny/Artistic
and if option 1 gets 4+ votes, they aren't allowed to make a new panel?

wouldnt that require at least 4 people posting between each panel?
Jul 30, 2015 12:49 AM #1389025
they could just link to a poll like the ones index brought up a while ago.

one of these would just be attached to every new panel. that would be the only change. they could be voted on at any time during the comic, and i would be checking them to see if any accumulated 4 negative votes. then i'd just point it out and say that the person in question was officially kicked out until the next comic.
