This one is simple. What new show do you think should be added to PCTV's network schedule for the new season? We ran this one in the original AASQ thread many many years ago and got some interesting results.

Rules? Why not.
Add one new show at a time giving the title of the program and a short description of what happens. Keep it clean or as Cuppajo used to say, PG-13 please.

Mine is from one of my original responses.

Who's that girl? (8 Female heroes live together in a house and try to find out which one is being played by an actual Female)

*From the depths of time immortal comes a vision of the future*
After a long and lengthy bought of speculation and intrigue on these boards and elsewhere, filled with comments both bitter and humorous the future will reveal...
<.<
>.>
That the dev team forgot to put a T on the end of "Who will die"

Outrage will spill upon these boards like fire through the driest tinder until at last a peace offering is given to the playerbase.

Then there will be cake.
Everyone will eat it except for BAB who is the one who was chosen.
To die!...
Er...diet!
*end vision*
500 bones on BAB

It's 2008! And it's time again to make a choice!
Who will win?
Who are the canididates?
Is Positron really running as Statesmans third term?
Is BAB a true contender?
Can he fend off the more experenced War Witch?
What role does Castle play in this vital election season?
Make your voices count Paragonites!

1. Eric Johnson: Cliffs of Dover
2. Ottmar Liebert: Barcelona Nights
3. Andy M. Stewert and Manus Lunny: Take her in your arms
4. Continental Stomp: I can't give you anything but love, baby
5. Wynton Marsalis: Cherokee
6. Joe Satriani: House full of bullets
7. Armik: Gypsy Flame
8. Leahy: McBrides (playing as I post this)
9. Oscar Lopez: Fire and Fury (Fuego y Furia)
10. Al Di Meola/ John McLaughlin/Paco de Lucia: Mediterranean Sundance/Rio Ancho

Eclectic musical tastes FTW?

Hey Craban! We already settled this whole election thing. You will just have to wait until 08 just like CuppaJo, _Awry_, and War_Witch!

Start your fundraising drives now peoples! The New Hampshire Primary is only 3 years out!

Stone/Fire here.I love Stone melee even though the attacks are a little slower than the Fire/Fire i ran with in the Beta.

COV demo?
Check.
Evil dude there?
Check.
Good guy there?
Check.
Average programmer guy without a cool handle to sacrifice for the "Most ultimate E3 demo ever!"
Hmmmm...
Check.
What's this guys name? Kenny?

*Statesman, Ravenshadow, Capt. Mako and Poz are in the COV booth at E3. There are deep in a private conversation shortly before the COV demo is set to begin with a multitude of the media in attendance.
Statesman spots Kenny(the programmer without the cool handle) approching the booth and signals Capt. Mako who gives Statesman the thumbs up sign and retreats behind the walls of the COV display area.
Capt Mako picks up a arming device of a table in the back and flips the arming switch to "ready".
Ravenshadow and Poz begin a fake heated argument about how the "Ask a stupid question thread" should have beaten the "Jerk Hackers" thread for "Best thread" and disappear around a corner.
Kenny, clueless as to the events unfolding around him approaches Statesman. *


Statesman: "Hey there Kenny! Nice to see you wore that new red shirt that you won at the employee christmas party!" "Could you go and start up the demo for COV please?"

Kenny: "Sure thing boss!"

*Statesman hurries around the same corner that Poz, and Ravenshadow went towards.*

*Kenny walks over to the projector that is supposed to show the COV demo, presses the "start" button and dies in an imaginative, yet bloodless way (to keep the T rating).*

*Lord Recluse appears from across the other side of the booth.*

Lord Recluse: "MWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

*Poz, Ravenshadow, and Statesman come out of hiding from around the corner*

Poz: "OMG!"

Ravenshadow:"You killed Kenny!"

Statesman: "You Basset!"(*)

(*)Or words to that effect.

Etc. Etc. until the COV Demo ends.

Alas poor no cool handled Programmer! We knew you so briefly but we enjoyed so well our all too short time together!

The Crystal Titan vs Hess's giant robot in Atlas Park, winner take all.

Then the folks at Magi could save the world for a change (instead of letting something loose from that insecure vault) and bring the Atlas statue (or the Talos statue) back to life to fight the giant monster in a 2 on 1 tag team match.

(Bonus points if the devs can work in the Macho man with a folding chair screaming "Can you dig it?" "Oh Yeah!! somehow.

Simply amazing! Thank you so much!

I remember the milk carton.
I remember the "noob wars"
I remember taking an hour to come up with "The ultimate thread" noob super weapon. (noobs rule! )

I remember staying up till 6am reading the "origins" threads.
I remember Nightrunner being the best origin writer. (thanks again sdragon)
I remember Statesmans name in his posts not being in red .
I remember taking the tram for the first time and being scared of all the deep purple mobs that I could see from the train platform. (before you could choose where you wanted to go)

I remember having to work the night of the Rikti invasion and logging on about an hour after it had ended.
I remember all the people spamming their powers untill the server went down the last night of Beta.
I remember most of us who were there missing several messages from the GM (or dev I never did find out who it was playing a Big Rikti boss in front of city hall) who was there to say goodbye because of this.

Good guide. However, I am a very busy person and do not have the time to read all of the excellent advice.
Can someone post the 'cliff notes' version please?

OK, I'll throw in my thoughts on this and I'll be on my way...

First congrats to the winners...

Now with that out of the way, I must say that I don't believe some of the entries in the gallery and a few of the winners created something better than the things I've seen that didn't make the cut... I'm not going to point any fingers, but I do take this a little more serious than most would because I'm quite competitive and graphic design isn't just a hobby, but my occupation...

With that being said, I didn't expect mine to get posted because I had a grammar mistake on it, so that was that... However, I am disappointed that some of the works in the galleries got posted while a lot of other better entries didn't... Yes art is in the eye of the beholder, but things like having crisp images, good layout, a nice color scheme, and most of all being original isn't something that's very subjective...

So while I do offer congrats to any and everyone who had something posted, I offer even more congrats to those who had better entries that weren't posted... I do this because they truly didn't get the recognition they deserved in my opinion and for the most part aren't as mad as I think they deserve to be...

[/ QUOTE ]
I did read this first. I can sum it up this way,
"You guys won but we were better."
and "The best ones were the ones they didn't post"
Why would any of the winners accept your thanks when you spit all over them first?
Again. You lost. Let it go. Tell the winners "Good Job!" without making it a totally back-handed compliment and work on PMing the powers that be to change contest rules for future contests if you disagree with them.
"The man" decided that the other submitions would not be posted. "The man" judged the contest and picked the winners, not you or the other guy who started this mess. Take your tinfoil hats and move on.

Read the second post I made in this thread,

[/ QUOTE ]

Sportsmanship (n) Def- 2. Sportsmanlike conduct.

Sportsman (n) Def- 2. one who exhibits qualities especially esteemed in those who engage in sports, such as fairness, self-control, etc.

Sore loser (n) U.S. Slang. a disgruntled or vindictive person, especially an unsportsman like loser.

You lost. Deal with it. Tell the winners "Good job, I hope you enter the next contest." "Next time I'll try and do better" and move on with your life.
If you want them to change the way they run contests, send them some PM's. Post here in a constructive manner, and stop giving out back-handed compliments like [ QUOTE ]
So like I said, nobody is saying that you aren't good, or your entry wasn't good or that anybody else's entry isn't good... We're saying that others created things better and it's ashame they didn't get the recognition that they deserve and that they've earned...

[/ QUOTE ]
Because it will do nothing but generate alot of animosity towards yourself and your "cause".
You lost. Deal.

This is not directed at anyone, and I replied to the last post simply because it was the last post.

This was an art contest, and I know little about art, but since this is an opinion thread, I always have one of those. Cut and paste for some apparently means art, it is possible an entrant was allowed to resubmit and there is no way everyone will agree on fair.

Some of the entries that were listed earlier on the web were removed and others posted. Perhaps it is lack of space, but the Halloween Contest had many more entrants posted than this. It would be great if they had room for everyone, if they don't, well that's how it is.

Cryptic, NC and the judges decided who was best. Just like any contest that is judged by opinion, it is impossible to qauntify the outcome. Art, books (fiction at least), movies, etc... I think that there were better entries. I think that cut and paste is orders of magnitude below hand work or fresh creation. I think some people will be sour grapes no matter what, and that some have legit complaints, at least about the rules.

I think we all pay our money to play the game, and the contests are cool bonuses. I think it's nice to see forums that let you vent or express your pleasure/displeasure like this. I think several of the posters have art that rocks, and I would buy it for wallpaper or just as images. When it all comes down, there is only one first place and one second in a contest, but does anyone who competes in the Olympics deserve to be called a loser?

If you submitted, you are probably part of less than 1% of the players who had the guts to stick your name up for ridicule or praise. Did you win the smoooooth Video Card or T-Shirt? No, but you got our respect, hand drawn or not.

/salute to you all.

Well said.

[/ QUOTE ]

Perfectly stated.

AutoRPD, I actually agree with you for once. Don't let it happen again.
Hey Caen. It's a contest. You didn't win. Get over it.
Oh and Auto's wallpaper for teh win.

Devs, I just want you to know that I'll be here to kiss your backside no matter what! Even if you replace all of my attacks with the snowball power. Then I'll pick fights with anyone who dares to disagree with you ever!
*Fanboys everywhere cheer wildly*

*Scary backround music ON*
*Deep announcer voice ON*

The opposition has told you that its OK to eat babies because" It's an ATKINS thing".

The opposition has told you that they will stop at nothing to win this election.

The opposition is against Jobs, money, pie, 50th level characters, milk, beer, breathing, food, sex, monkeys, bunny rabbits,controller pets,pizza, guns, cars, America, Canada, and several European countries (We agree with them about France),
Oh and Recluse still hasn't disputed the fact that his mother dresses him funny.

In this recount, it's your job to remember one thing.
VOTE CLEANLINESS, VOTE STATESMAN ( 2 times for every 1 of Recluses)

Paid for by the "What Statesman dosen't know gives him plausable deny ability" fund

*Scary backround music OFF*
*Deep announcer voice OFF*

*Start scary backround music*
*Deep announcer voice ON*

This election season before you vote, remember a few facts.

FACT: Statesman saves babies.
FACT: Recluse EATS babies.

FACT: Statesman saved Paragon City.
FACT: Recluse has tried to DESTROY Paragon City.

FACT: Statesman helps new heroes with personal notes in the Game Manual.
FACT: Recluse ISN'T IN the Game Manual.

FACT: Statesman promotes good personal hygiene and is a sharp dresser.
FACT: Recluse stinks. And his mother dresses him funny.

The conclusion is clear. Do you want a smelly, baby eating villian as your President? Or a clean cut all American hero like STATESMAN?

VOTE FOR CLEANLINESS. VOTE STATESMAN.
*scary backround music OFF*
*deep announcer voice OFF*

Don't blame me, I voted for Statesman!
