Caemgen's Commission Contest


Ambiguous

 

Posted

Alright peeps, it's time to give away some artz!

I've just recently purchased two sets of commissions from two great artists for myself but that had me feeling a bit greedy since it was you motley lot who got me to be such a fan of the character artz... So instead of just purchasing a couple pieces for myself from each of the artists, I purchased a couple for myself from each and one to give away from each to the lucky winners of whatever wacky contest I came up with...

The prizes: A full body character commission work from http://taclobanon.deviantart.com/gallery/ and from our very own http://pirate-cashoo.deviantart.com/

The Contest: A basic guess the number. I picked a number between (and including) 1 and 100 for each artist. The first person to guess the number for each artist wins the paid commission from that artist!

The Rules:

  • Each person can guess a number for each artist once per post but must wait 24 hours between posts. (You can post non guess posts, obviously, but there must be 24 hours between posts with guesses by you.)
  • Excepting the 24 hours rule, you may guess as many times as you can until we have winners.
  • You must specify which artist each guess is for. (To be clear, you can guess twice in each post - once for each artist.)
  • To make things a bit more amusing you must use the number of your guess in a phrase somehow. Ex: 101 dalmations, 2001 a space odysee, 1 thousand points of light... They don't have to make sense, I'm just adding this in to amuse myself. If you pick the right number but didn't include a phrase, I'll probably give it to you anyway... But I reserve the right not to if I think you're just trying to be a spoilsport
  • If you are the first to guess the number I have chosen for an artist, you win the commission from that artist.
  • You cannot win both commissions. If, by some miracle, you are the first to guess the correct number for both then you will get to choose which you win and the remaining commission will have a new number chosen and we'll start over...
  • I reserve the right to change the rules, add to the rules, clarify the rules as needed. I didn't think this out before hand, just kind of made it up as I went along, so it's quite possible I am forgetting something...
Minor Details: I have already PM'd the numbers to myself along with which artist each number is for. This was done at 4:55 PM on Sept 21, 2009... So if anyone suspects foul play I'll be happy to forward them a copy of the PM after the contest, take a screen shot, or whatever... (I should just say bugger off and stay out of my contest if your going to be like that but I am big on trying to be open, honest and above board...)

Each commission is for a one character full body piece. I will forward the names of the winners to the artists and the winner will then be able to contact the artist directly to provide reference shots, discuss poses, etc etc...

If I forgot something, you need clarification on something, or whatever, just post and ask. I will check back here as often as possible to keep track of things...



REMEMBER:
You can have two guesses per post but only one per artist.
You can only make a guess post once 24 hours have gone by since your last one. (It's not one guess on Monday, one Tuesday... I'm talking 24 actual hours.)
You must include the guess number in some kind of phrase... Just because.




The guessing may commence now....

So I have 13 Cashoo's in my left shoe today.

I wonder if 72 Taclobanon's are enough since it's dark outside ?

hehe


is that right ?

That works except you didn't specify which number was for which artist

And example would be:

Cashoo: 101 Dalmations
Taclobanon: 600 channels on my sattelite...

(The fix works)

BTW, I will announce each winner once I see someone has guessed correctly... I see no reason to wait until both have been correctly guessed. (which means, sorry EnnVee, but try again in 24!)

Cashoo has 6 letters.
Taclobanon has 10 letters.


Like that?


 

Posted

LMAO is that better now that I editted it ??

Kept the numbers, and I know 24 hours till I try again, just want to know is the artist to number phrased better?


 

Posted

Like Foo... And yes, yours is fine with the edit. I edited my own to say so but guess you posted first or missed it.

Very cool idea and very generous of you Caemgen.

Cashoo: Thunderkissin ninteen sixty "5" yeah! Woww! Fiiiive yeah! wow!

Taclobanon: Caemgen you really ought "2" go take a peek at my Thankyou art thread


P.S. to make it a bit easier people can copy and paste this from my post and just add the numbers they use as a guess
this should get us a winner quicker and not get someone passed over just because they chose a number already guessed.
Numbers taken already are as follows


Cashoo: 5-6-13-

Taclobanon: 2-10-72-

Taclobanon, we better back up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88.

Let's see if you Cashoos can do 90.


 

Posted

If 42 is the answer to the universe and everything then 42 will be my guess for both Cashoo and Taclobanon.


 

Posted

Cashoo once ate 20 hard boiled eggs
But Taclobanon managed to choke down 58


 

Posted

It takes about 60 Cashoos to make a decent batch of my Cashew chicken.

And most of my puns rate about 89 Taclobanons, if they catch the listener unawares.


"It's hard for you to be yourself, if you don't know who you really are."


 

Posted

Cashoo made 65 freebies
for every 11 Taclobannon made.


 

Posted

International Talk Like a Pirate (Cashoo) Day was on the 19th.

1 of my SG mates got a pic from Taclobanon. It's totally awesome.


 

Posted

Cashews are made up of 2 halves, so I think that makes them dicots, but I don't think Cashoo is a dicot, being a mammal.

After watching all of these numbers pop up, Taclobanon might start counting presents like they do in the 12 Days of Chrismas.



Updated numbers
Cashoo: 2-5-6-13-20-42-60-90-99-65-19-29
Taclobanon: 2-10-12-42-58-69-72-88-89-11-1-17

66 minutes til midnight here, wonder about for Cashoo.... (stupid clock and it's incessant moving forward!!!!)

43 Taclobanons until I know for sure

Updated numbers
Cashoo: 2-5-6-13-20-42-60-66-90-99-65-19-29
Taclobanon: 2-10-12-42-43-58-69-72-88-89-11-1-17


 

Posted

I ate 44 Cashoo's and they made me thirsty! Ooops I meant Cashews.

I hear Taclobanon is banned in 35 countries due to the addictive nature of the substance.

Pyro - I have to assume your added numbers were 90 for Cashoo and 88 for Taclobanon, because I don't know what order you wrote that list in. For clarity's sake - lets all put the new numbers after the name. So new numbers to the left and the oldest number is right. The numbers below now reflect this progression.

Updated numbers
Cashoo: 44-66-2-29-19-65-90-60-20-42-88-99-5-6-13
Taclobanon: 35-43-12-17-1-11-88-89-58-42-90-69-2-10-72

I heard Cashoo drew 37 pics...
In a row?

Me: It's 98 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses
Taclobanon: Hit it!

Cashoo: 44-66-2-29-19-65-90-60-20-42-88-99-5-6-13-37
Taclobanon: 35-43-12-17-1-11-88-89-58-42-90-69-2-10-72-98

Oh nice, Taclobanon did a Peril of Parity pic. I love those. I must have seen like 37 of those. :3

Since Cashoo is a pirate, I must start off with the good old, 98 bottles of beer reference.

No winner yet...

And one more rule I thought of: Do not edit your post!

It could get tricky if I checked and two people ended up having a winning number but the first had an edited post... Of course there'd be little reason to edit to go with a number someone after you chose but best to avoid the possible confusion.

Right! That's why I suggested it... saves me from doing all the work.
Helps if you keep them in numeric order too.

P.S. Edited to come up with the number tracking to help others but I won't edit from here on out... no winners yet so hope it's ok?

My thought was to make it easier for the pickers, as there will be (potentially) 200 of them, and not for
knowing who chose what numbers as it only matters if you win and there will only be 2 winners.

Staring at a jumbled list of numbers out of order will make it harder as it goes along as each
person will have to read through the entire strand to make sure their number isn't already chosen... if
they are in numeric order however it's quick and easy to find if the number you want is taken and if you can't
think of a good number just count up from 1 till you find a "gap" and choose something in there.

Edit all you want in posts that don't contain your picks

As for the number list... The problem with relying on it is what if it's wrong? Then if everyone just copy and pastes they're starting from a flawed original... I'll go through and make an "official" list and edit this post with it... And will update it every time I check the thread.


Cashoo
2 5 6 13 19 20 29 37 42 44 60 65 66 90 98 99


Taclobanon
1 2 10 11 12 17 35 37 42 43 58 69 72 88 89 98

Entants so far:
Pyro_Nympho, Christopher Robin, EnnVee, The Foo, Lazarus, Ambiguous, Jophiel, TremDei. Eddy Swan, PeteyCat, Kai, Vivace, PowerStream, Starwind, bubbawheat, Suichiro


I really suggest always double checking yourself as there is a flaw in at least one of the lists of numbers...

It had nothing to do with the Updated Number List. I game for not listing it at all now that I've got my own spreadsheet working....hoping that you guys will duplicate wrong answers...MUAHAHAHAH!!!!

Doh - Sorry Pyro. Mine was a late evening post after failing a MoITF after 3 attempts! Clarity of thought was obviously problematic. Great idea Pyro, I'm starting my own list to track!
