I am. When I lose a contest the first thing I do is create a thread to bash the winners. It's makes me feel better.

Everyone photoshop'd and altered images - no one claimed the 'load screen Statesman' image was their own (he appeared in many entries altered via gimp - whatever). I just used different licenced images.

2nd place: I think his entry should have been disqualified. The images in the background appear to be images from the most recent comic book. Clearly a violation of the rules on the site. If I’m wrong about that then I apologize. That’s just how I understood it.

that sounds like it was targetted at me?

Wouldn't everyone who changed Statesmans opacity have been disqualified? No, because they were using licensed CoH images to create wallpaper (as stated in the rules) I interpreted the rules differently and wasn't penalized. I didn't see anything in the rules that you were only allowed to use the above list.

And for some reason they put my screen name instead of my real name (I submitted all my info properly). As for the bumper stickers... Well, they'll make a nice gift for my obsessed friends

I don't think I claimed the CoH comic book as my own work?

Let me check...

Nope.

Whoa! It says what you can use in the rule...

logos/graphics from COH.com
screenshots you took
and your orginal art

I dont see COH Official comic in that list. Well lets consider the far fetched.

Maybe he found it on the COH Offical site!
Or perhaps he found the current comic ingame and took a Screenshot!
Wait I got it!...He drew the comic and its his orginal work!


Lets just try really hard and pretend none of the above is true. If you look a bit deeper the person broke 2 rules not only did he use media that wasnt in the Ok list but by scanning and manipulating someone elses artwork he broke another rule.

I mean just think about it why would you want to create orginal art if you could just scan some art from the Official COH comic and make a super duper hot paper?

As I said before If I'm wrong then I extend my deepest apology. However at this point I think his should have be Dq'ed for sure

Let's just say I thought out of the box, figured the comic was a CoH licensed image (since they display the comic cover on the site every month) and went for it. I must have done something right or I wouldn't have won second place.

As for contest rigging I was surprised as anyone to get 2nd place.

So thanks for all the gratz but really? Is the bumper sticker worth that much to you? After reading all of this horsesh!t I'm really feeling the community spirit.

**I like a lot of the wallpapers featured in this and other threads (fanboi - too funny )

Please check out the Class or Lack of Class thread.

When Villains get together, you can always count on one thing: Villains pulling guns on each other. /em threaten should cause the player to draw a pistol and point it in the direction he is facing. "I say we hit the bank." "Yeah? Well I say your plan sucks!" em/ threaten "Do you see this Loki? This bastage just pulled a gun on me!" em/ threaten "Yeah, I see it Tony. Put your gun down" "Up yours! You put your gun down" em/ threaten "All of you put your guns down or I'll plug the lot of you!"
