2010 FArt Finale - Shia vs. Christopher Robin in...Battle: Ribbon


airhead

 

Posted



Due to a family emergency, I'm posting this despite not getting a formal acceptance from CR. I'll be out of pocket for at least a week in order to handle estate and funeral arrangements but some folks have been looking to get this going to avoid losing time. This is a straightforward challenge so I don't anticipate much need for additional clarification.

The 2010 FArt Competition is down to two challengers. Toxic Shia and Christopher Robin will go head-to-head to determine who will be crowned the 2010 FArt Competition Champion.

Shia & CR....the Final Battle's theme left to us by the FArt Mistress is "Ribbons". How that may be interpreted is of course, up to you, however I will iterate that ribbons must play a prominent role in the composition of your entry. The “Hot Chick” rule is waived.

THE RULES

1. Keep It Clean- All entries must be direct-linkable on the boards. If its worse than PG-13, you will be disqualified.

2. Use City of Heroes/Villains Elements- Your entry must somehow relate to City of Heroes/Villains either through character, setting, or some other means.

3. Visual Fan Art Only- We're not taking writing, music, or interpretive dance submissions

DEADLINES
Gentlemen, your entries must be posted must be posted to this thread or the dA group by 5:00pm US EASTERN TIME, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 30TH. Voting will commence on October 1st, 2010 and continue through 5:00pm US EASTERN TIME on THURSDAY October 7th, 2010.

PRIZE
Shia has accepted the terms of Battle: Ribbon. Christopher Robin, if you acknowledge and accept the terms, the winner determined by the popular vote on the City of Heroes Forum will be awarded $50.00, to be issued through PayPal.

If you draw it... they will come. (*Hints at an image of Bayani and Caemgen "Making up" in nothing but ribbons*)

Havent quite forgotten about this contest. There's about 8 days left, and I thought I'd spend the evening putting some time into my submission, and you can see it here;

Sister Psyche came in second in something? WOW!

Sister Psyche only gets to come second if she behaves herself and does as she is told.

Nice entry Shia, nice touch with the ribbons. All wrapped up and...
We'd better make certain a few of us do not get near them...


Hmm... wonder what Christopher's entry will be like. He has been very quiet now... for too long. Hope he is all right.

What reason does he have to enter really? I mean the deck is obviously stacked against him right?
Wassy said if they wanted to continue (the key word being IF ) then a topic would be provided but if not then CR wins. So no entry and he wins. not to mention

a The topic for the finally was chosen by a friend of his competition and seems tailor made to suit Shia (who already whipped up multiple ribbon bondage pieces with little effort) while a quick look through CR's galleries shows nothing even remotely to do with ribbons or tieing stuff up.

b CR's up against a voting handicap too.
Does anyone doubt theres people here who will vote Shia no matter what? Deebs for example has voted Shia pretty much every time two years running and first place 3points every time this year if I remember right. Lets face it Shia could put up a turd and still be guaranteed a certain number of votes and CR would have to earn an equal number just to get an even start. It's the same **** he was up against with Johnnykat. Meanwhile not even CR's obvious friedns who always post in his thread pic his pieces first place every month or even at all sometimes. I think he even had zero vote months before so Cr's been playing fair from what I can tell.

c Also CR never agreed to this extra round or the topic or deadline but that dont seem to matter to most.

d And CR posted way back that he sent pm's to the other people involved about working out a fair way to solve this but when I asked him a few weeks ago if he ever got a reply he said only Pyro answered. Guess shia aint willing to talk.

So his efforts to fix **** get ignored and the topic was rigged and the voting looks to be as well. I'm guessing by all teh silence he aint happy an I cant say I blame him.

Course I could be wrong. Maybe his account is just lapsed or something happened to him or maybe he is hard at work on his pic for the month but I aint heard nothin out of him in a long while so I dont know. Anyone talk to CR recently or see him post somthing somewhere?

Point I'm makin is I wouldn't bother if I were in his shoes, theirs no way he's gettin a fair shake here.

Wassy said CR won in passing, but changed her mind and has officially put down a continuation into this month. It was in the thread.

I picked the topic in jest, but Wassy decided to run with it. No friend of Shia's had any choice in the matter.

I'm a friend of Shia's and I don't always pick him first. I pick whatever I feel like is worthy.

CR didn't have to agree to the finale. If he doesn't show, that's fine. Bayani gave him an incentive to compete, but it's his choice if he wants to or not.

You should ask Shia directly if he got a PM from CR in the first place. Assuming anything is an ignorant move.

While there's plenty of drama to be had around here, the idea that there's a conspiracy to do him in is laughable. Shia's rarely around these parts and if he has more popularity in the contests, then... perhaps it's because people like his art better? And... if I'm not mistaken, that's what an art contest is about, right? Art?

If CR has any kind of negative backlash against him, perhaps it's the notion that once Wassy declared him the winner, he stubbornly stuck with it and has refused to acknowledge that she has now ruled otherwise. I would be angry too, I doubt anyone blames him for being so. But now he refuses to play along and has gone silent. That makes a bad case for him, which people may react to. If anything, it's his own doing. If he really wants to be the FArt champion for 2010, then he needs to suck it down and step up. Otherwise, it's going into the books that he forfeit.

Oh man, this just gets better and better. :3 I wonder how long we can milk this debacle.

The continuation was there only IF they both wanted it.

You may have picked the topic in jest but that doesn't change the fact that what you chose became the topic (if they chose to continue) and by your own words being a friend of Shia you make my point. I think if say Caemgen got to pick a topic that was a CR specialty and it got made the offcial topic there would be people (including me) crying foul the other way. This is no different.

I never said all of Shia's friends vote him first everymonth just that there are people who do. I'm sure you already know what I'm sayin is true and are just trying to make it about you to draw attention away from that truth. Weak.

Yes it is CR's choice. I see it that way too.

Ok good point. So I ask it, Shia did you get a pm from CR and if so did you reply to it or ignore it?

Never claimed it was a conspiracy just that their are things unfairly weihgted against CR and when you see people voting the first place to the same person every single time regardless of what they put up or what the competition puts in that month you can't say it's about the art anymore. Well you could try but nobody buyin that bull **** dude.

Just as you rightly said I should ask Shia before assuming I knew about the pm you should ask CR before you assume he is "refusing to play along" there are plenty of other possibilities for his silence and while it's a good bet he is pissed we dont actually know why he has gone silent.

I don't see it as a forfeit since CR never agreed to anything and WAssy clearly stated he had a choice in the matter. I don't think she gets to declare him the winner then change the official ruling if he doesn't accept the continuance since she clearly left it up to both the contestants to accept the continuance or not. It was clearly written as a choice (IF) and not mandatory.

Had CR agreed to an extra month and then were to pull a no show it would be a clear forfeit. But he didn't so it's not.

CR doesn't need to continue to win and Wassy said his last entry was valid and so then his immunity stands. Personaly I think its a damn ****** way to win but I'd say it's still a win for CR.
(if you are reading this CR a no show would be a totally lame *** finish dude, if you don't care about the money donate it to charity or something)

Another five days? :frown:

One other thing that stinks to me. Why the heck is it 5pm (4pm central) instead of midnight like every other deadline has been? Most people who work a day job aren't even home from work by then. I don't know what CR's schedule is like but if he works that cuts him off another whole day. (Shia already has an entry so it dont affect him much)

Also this thread with BAyani stepping in wasn't started until the 8th so if you are going to give a full month why not until midnight the 8th of October? No reason to cut it short dude its not like there is another contest happening or anything that needs this done in a hurry.

It should be the full amount of time to be fair.

forever .

If I was into the whole conspiracy thing which while amusing is pretty goofy id have said
CR and Wassy always seemed pretty friendly in my eyes so if anything Id have said the bias was in CR's favor .

but honestly considering CR's own comments about this being a friendly contest just for fun and it not being important who wins or loses as the goal is just to have fun im finding myself rather amused .

plz post moar dwamah

Wow Deebs you posted twice in a row and both times you managed to slide right past the part where you offer up any kind of defense or just admit that you are one of the people who purposely skews the vote in favor of Shia no matter what. (wheres the thumbsup icon on this forum lol) Rock on!

P.S. Only you and Suichiro are using the word conspiracy. Now that is amusing cause it wasn't in the post you guys are responding to so I'm guessin you just invented it to try and dismiss or diminish the uncomfortable truth. Clever. (well not really)

Well dang I still can't get the thumbs up thing to work but at least I got one of those smiley face things right this time. Woot!

We should get Shia in here, delicious dramah is delicious. OM NOM NOM NOM.

hahaha this is awesome its not often we get someone white knighting CR , usually its some lonely guy white knighting a girl . kudos for you for breaking a stereotype.

you should start a petition to get CR elected FART champion , ya know pass it around , get signatures that you think everything is unfair and slanted against him then present it to Wassy or Bayani for review .

or yaknow you can just pick a new title and bestow it upon him .

im looking forward to either

besides with you posting for his defense
his stock is only going up up up

wait wait your denying that Wassy and CR were friends or at least pretty tight appearing on the forums , heck CR white knighted for Wassy a few times .

I see with your two replies you have yet to explain this or their romantic trip to cancun , I mean we have pictures ..heck we can draw pictures !

*Stumbles around the thread in a daze*

I... thought this was for fun? Are people competing for a new house or a million dollars or something? Because if so I want in on some of this.

If this is serious business and were battling for a car or something I will step up and challenge Shia with my amazing artz skills instead! (Ok, so not that amazing but for a house and a scholarship its at least worth a try for a surprise victory with an erotic stick figure.)



Now show me the money!

That looks more like yarn than ribbons!!!! DISQUALIFIED!!!

And I'm pretty sure I see a nip! Double Drama DISQUALIFIED!!!

No way! Everything is totally covered! My Erotic Stick Figures are always dignified!
