:lol: If you look at the date, you'll see that White Gold Twinkle was conceived much before the April fools tread. Since the latter got hardly any response, I didn't really bother continuing the gag.wayfriend wrote:
I think the original idea was that people'd be, er, sorta happy to hand it away... If we had something like this instead, that problem might be solved.Ananda wrote:make a terrible crown graphic and the winner could have it in her or his signature and then pass it on or something. That's fun!
(Sorry, WF, but that critter's apparently "inspirational". )
:haha: So is Linden only going to get a mouthful of cold nose, or is that...thingy capable of some other functions? Sort of like a tentacle monster, but actually a winged(!) ice cube man instead. 
Very classy.... the snorts and groans proceeding from the readers and potential contestants enjoying this were surely worth every moment you put in to it!wayfriend wrote:Okay, a Contest.
His Highness, King of Bed Drawers, Duke of Scribbilia, and Monarch of the Seven Crudities stepped onto the dais, walked to his Throne, and gazed upon his subjects. His eyes beetled under his simian brow as he measured each sycophant for pretentions as they waited on their bended knees. He made as if to sit down upon his Throne, but paused with his Royal buttocks just off the cushions, and checked to see who he might catch rising before they were allowed to. No one fell for it; this was an old trick. He tried it again. Still no takers. Sighing with world weariness, the monkey sat.
As his subjects rose, he rapped his Monkey Staff upon the marble three times. The Throneroom became acceptibly quiet.
"I NEED ..." the King shrieked, "... AN ARGULEH!".
Everyone nodded their heads and generally agreed that this was good and wise. Then again, the King had been known to fling his poo when anyone disagreed with him.
When His Majesty waved his hand, his Chamberlain provided the usual disclaimers.
"Present to his majesty a picture of an arguleh. Ideally, this arguleh would be doing something interesting like battling a Giant or swinging on a vine. Get it done by June 31. To he or she that provides the poorest illustration of an arguleh, as determined by an irregularly influenced and highly coerced popular vote, they shall receive 1100 WGDs and 1077 Tokens, and the Crown of Bed Drawers, and the acclaim of the masses, and the esteem of this court, and the onus of conducting a future contest, and a disgruntled grunt from His Majesty.
"Now shoo, all of you ..."
It's messy, horrible, off balance, everything one might expect from bad illustrating. The evil witch queen of Narnia has transformed Covenant & Linden into moomintrolls! The arguleh has immobilized Honninscrave and Pitchwife! It's up to the brave First of the Search to destroy the arguleh and rescue the hapless couple. Pippi Långstrump with her monkey was an unfortunate bystander, and probably will never recover from the ice beast's freezing breath.
I think that shall be my new contest tag line.Ananda wrote:Wayfriend, for the monkey, give us a new contest theme! If this draws out much longer, Eff will be tampering with the time space continuum. Do it for the monkey!
Oh, that just means you done it right. I had that same feeling. Soon you'll start enjoying that feeling. Then you'll crave it. You'll end up an addict, sitting on a corner with a cardboard sign.Zorm wrote:my inner serious artist, master of self-nitpickery, is groaning and headdesking over this in near death-throes
It can get worse?!?!Ananda wrote:A work in progress.
