poor me and davulf and the person fearless faces in round 1
You mean "poor Fearless faces", surely?
runs to avoid thumpage
what?
i don't really think this is whining, but whomever did the seeding failed to notice that this is now the third year in a row where NJP3 and I have been paired up in the first round. what's up with that?
Don't worry, Silver. I'm in the same boat. Even if I make it past round one, I probably don't have a chance going up against last years winner. Congratulations, CT. I'll just conceed now. :D
Edit: Wow @ Nordberg's predicament. I'm calling this competition FIXED
*Pumps fist into the air and chants "fixed" in an attempt to get others to join in.
Aren't you assuming CT will beat Happy Pixel? :)Quote:

the seeding is done by dri and the mods...they know everyone's skill level, and are very fair.
and apparently very consistent... ;) :)

im always over ranked.
Its based on a few things (arena participation, previous years results, throwing darts at a map of the world and assigning each person a country, observing the flight patterns of the south american swallow) We've used the same system for the past 2 years and it seems to work decently although is not perfect.Quote:

Erm, okay! Sounds mystical.Quote:

well dricciotti explained his system well, but i also think that it is a combination of post count, skill level and participation in the arena. That's at least how i see where i was ranked.
And dricciotti....you'll get yours for that :ba-zing: :mrt:

yeh, very weird
It must be fate.
Who wins every year? If it's even, or always close, then its cool. If it's always one-sided. Well, then I would be upset :).
Can I just say I HATE MY STOCK!!!
thank you I feel much better now.....
</lie>
I'm confident you'll pull a piece of graphic magic out of your tassle, EVP. You had sexy rabbits popping out of that thing left and right in your recent battle with Nats. That was some first class stuff, man. Somehow I don't think something as trivial as needing to use some little bit of whatever in your larger scheme is going to be too much for an artiste of your caliber. :cap:
Show us how it's done, Maestro! :yarr::D
I'm in agreeance with Rush, your last battle with Nat was top shelf. Those images were pretty amazing. Although some of the stock are tough to work with, this just makes you guys all the more creative and you end up blowing back our hair with the quality and innovation that you come up with.
I've got faith in you man :).
if it's already been said, sorry....
what's the deadline for images? i know it's saturday, but saturday in for example australia is a different time to saturday in UK!!
do we have a GMT deadline to aim for, or is it just roughly saturday?
...
I'm going to go out on a limb here and announce
PREDICTIONS FOR THOSE THROUGH THIS ROUND!:
(taaa-daaaa)
Fearless
DaVulf
Squidlips
Ct
Pea
TheWaste
Nords
Creative
Neps
Leftie
EVP
Dri
Rush
Clicky
...
What? Just what I think, skill-wise and what I can remember from battles.
some of the stocks are quite low res too :eek:
Just sent my image in...Pretty naff I think, didn't really feel it...
Oh well, always next year to look forward to...
:rolleyes:
* there's positive thinking for you!
...and how soon will the voting begin after the deadline?
Nats. Probably shouldn't have included me in that. I really don't know how my image will go over and I always seem to crack under pressure. I personally like my image and got what I wanted out of it but it isn't very trendy in my opinion, which history shows won't take you far in the comp.
Also, where the heck is your name on that list huh.

Deadline is tommorow at midnight EST. Sorry to all of you guys not on Eastern time, but that is the most common timezone for FK members it seems.
This means that from now, you have approximately 35 hours.
Your fine.Quote:

Anyway, that's cool. Should have mine in way before the deadline ... unless I keep procrastinating.
mine is in. good lock davulf
14 images done so far.
Theres some good work so far (despite how much EVP hates his)
wow...must get to work.
