On a sidenote, who's designing the trophies this year?

Wind Dude, on Jan 4 2008, 03:19 PM, said:

I was wondering that too.

Golden Legacy, on Jan 4 2008, 03:32 PM, said:

I've got an idea about that, it'll remain secret for now. :(

It's time to reveal all! Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce you to the first ever Design the Trophies!, Mini-Contest for the annual GSSF Awards! - All right, the name's horrible, but more importantly, this is YOUR chance to create and design the very same trophies that you're all voting for!

So here's the deal. Everyone and anyone, feel free to submit your design for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place, and honorable mentions. The 1st/2nd/3rd place prizes are usually trophies but feel free to use your own imagination. Same for the honorable mentions, which are usually plaques, stickers, or something similar, but again feel free to design the prizes however you feel. There are no restrictions on your submissions, except that it has to be a reasonable size to fit into our signatures.

Post all submissions here, and once they've been received, I'll open a poll and YOU will get to vote on which ones will be the prizes that you'll win from the GSSF Awards!

With that said, let's hope to see some great submissions. Cheers!

[Caael]

Do they have to be trophies or can they be stuff like plaques?

[Someone Else]

Was I the only one hearing cheerful music in the background as I read that post? :(

Anyway, awesome idea. I have absolutely no sprite experience though.

[Lightning Star]

Ah, don't forget honorable mentions.

I think the 1,2, and 3rd place should have trophies, and then honorable mentions should have plaques.

Sounds better actually. All right, 1st, 2nd, 3rd place will get trophies, honorable mentions will get plaques, stickers, or something similar. Does that sound all right?

~3700~

[Caael]

I can try to make plaques, but dont rely solely on me because i'll probably fail/not have time.

[Split Infinity]

I'd take a shot at it. Do we have to post all of the trophies at once?

[Golden Legacy]

Sure, that's fine. This is only the topic to submit them - once all entries have been received, they'll be collected and posted in a new topic that will have the official poll.

Sorry, I think you read me wrong. I was asking a question, not for permission.

Just let people use their own imagination how to design the prizes.

Doesn't really matter. At any rate, I'm going to crush both of you. ;]

[Someone Else]

*on the phone* Oh wait, I gotta call you back, it's on! *hangs up*





Sorry, I had to say that.





I'm so lame.

[Lightning Star]

...what?




(It must be some joke that I missed out on <_< )

[Drizzy Drake]

Is this topic ever gonna ahve trophies or plaques, or will it just turn into spam like ever other topic here that isn't in the Current Issues And Debates board. Hmm.

[Mallick]

1st 2nd and 3rd? 1st and 2nd is more than enough (if not too much.)

There aren't going to be many honorable mentions for awards.

edit: whipped this up in like 5 seconds waiting for dinner, I'm not actually going to enter anything (cbf) but it's just what I think would be a cool trophy idea someone could build on (and actually create. again, cbf)

[Split Infinity]

I'm only going to post my first place trophies, because if I don't get voted for it'll save me two thirds of the effort. :]

[Lightning Star]

Well thats a quitter's attitude >>

[Split Infinity]

What's the point? They're going to look exactly the same, just with 2nd and 3rd on them! I would be kind of pissed if all that extra work went to waste.

I'll obviously have to make them if I win the vote, but anyway.

[Lightning Star]

Well you don't have to make them look the same! I was thinking maybe of doing each one a little different. But hey, if you have your ideas, go for it ;]

[Golden Legacy]

... Oho, things are starting to heat up. <_<

[Split Infinity]

Don't worry, I have some pretty cool ideas to use for my trophies.

[Lightning Star]

School's started here, so I might not get to work on them for a while, but rest assured, they'll be good <_<

[Split Infinity]

I'm assuming we have until the 19th to submit our designs, GL? We can use the time taken counting the votes to vote on the trophies.

[Golden Legacy]

Exactly what I was thinking.

Wow. I thought it was bigger. I'll make a bigger version a little later, but that's the base.

[EDIT] Alright, I finished a plaque. I'll just convert it to greyscale for a second place silver plaque.

[FlamingDuck]

Due to lack of submissions, I'm going to try and make one. So don't vote yet!

[Drizzy Drake]

If I win ANY award, could somebody put the trophie in a thumbnail, because I can't see any of the trophies becasue they are hosted by another sit. Grr.

[Split Infinity]

A thumbnail would still be hosted by another site.

And yet I can see a thumbnail. I don't know how, but it works.

Second place plaque.

[Lightning Star]

I had such an awesome trophy. I was all done, about to make it transparent, when Microsoft decided to be a jerk and freeze gimp up on me. So then even when I tried to thwart it and take a print screen, I open Gimp back up and it says there's no memory on the clipboard.

*kills Microsoft*

Unless the competition is going to go on for a few more days, I declare myself out of the race. :/

[Split Infinity]

Don't worry Icy, we can always compete again next year. :P

Recent documents?

[Golden Legacy]

We're not going to be voting on them yet. This poll will appear when the other results are released (since all everyone has to do is pick one, it's a lot easier and shorter).

I was stupid and didn't save it ;-; recent documents only shows saved files.

Edit: I kind of re-made them, but these aren't as good as the first ones.

[Folcon]

and those would be for which award?

[Lightning Star]

They're generic awards. So like Kate would get a gold sword if she came in first for spam queen, and i would get the silver one if I came in second, etc etc. I think it would be easier if the users would just put which topic they won in their signature.

Either that, or we just kill the 2nd and 3rd place awards all together.

[Folcon]

I occurs to me, I'm going to try and talk to a friend of mine who does 3D modeling and see if he can make a figurine in Issac's likeness and color it gold, silver, and bronze. If he can, I'll post them up. But no promises.

That works very well. And Icy, your work is absolutely amazing, nicely done.

And escout, there's still some time before the awards are counted/revealed, so if you could make it happen, that would be interesting to see too.

[Ironsight]

Two minutes of mspaint gets you this: http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/6394/gssfawardsxd1.th.png

OH YEAH ICY?! I can make swords too!

It's not finished though.....But it could be resized and re-colored.

ANYWAY. [will finish this post in a minute, so stay tuned. I've got more trophy designs.]

[EDIT] There we go: http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/251/spaminacanvh1.png

[Ironsight]

You didn't rip off my award there, did you? :P

[Toasty]

Of course I didn't! Why would I do that? :P

[FlamingDuck]

My rather okayish trophy, with a background and without:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v734/flamingduck33/trophy-1.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v734/flamingduck33/trophy.gif

My rather lackluster plaque. It would suck to get second.

I like FD's and Icy's the best. *sigh* if only I had artistic ability
