2006-09-03 [Lothuriel]: woort! Ima first comment ho!
2006-09-03 [Perplexity]: *does jig with Lothuriel* =D
2006-09-03 [Lothuriel]: oooh, this otta be good!
2006-09-03 [Perplexity]: Hmmmm - good choice, [iippo]! An intriguing category.
2006-09-04 [iippo]: I trust that the round won't start before I get a theme... >_> *looks at date and panics ever so slightly*
2006-09-04 [Evilmonk]: Rogue needs to give you a catagory before we start.
2006-09-05 [Rennie]: Marc will put in a category as soon as he gets back to work, had a really nasty bout with the strepp throat that put him in the hospital. He's home now, but will be back at it on thursday.
2006-09-05 [Perplexity]: Oh no!!! =( Please pass our get well soon wishes onto Marc, Erin. I'm so sorry to hear he is under the weather.
2006-09-05 [Cia_mar]: hope he feels better soon!
2006-09-05 [Iske]: trapped cool item....
2006-09-05 [Perplexity]: Yeah that category subject has all sorts of room for interpretation
2006-09-05 [Cia_mar]: um... just a suggestion and for some reason i thought i said this but i do not see the comment here... anyway... for the next EVE comp, maybe it would not be a good idea to post the theme untill both contestants submit theirs, that way no one person has an unfair advantage to begin brainstorming befor the other person! just a suggestion, like i said
2006-09-05 [Perplexity]: Good point, Cia. Of course, I think we'll have to let Marc off the hook for being hospitalized and all, poor guy.
2006-09-05 [Rennie]: He's probably chomping at the bit to do this and I know he'll jump right on it as soon as he can. Thanks for giving him a bit of leeway guys...I know he'll appreciate it :)
2006-09-05 [Perplexity]: We aren't COMPLETE nazis about EVE lol
2006-09-05 [Cia_mar]: yes i would expect that too for some leeway... but i was just thinking that for the next comp... you know how monk said that some of the rules may change as you go since this is the first run of it and all... anyway... i am sure that this will be a great wiki that continues to become a tradition among the advid artists of elftown!
2006-09-05 [Perplexity]: Yes, it's a good suggestion that will probably be in effect from now on.
2006-09-05 [Cia_mar]: woo hoo i made a differance in the world...! lol
2006-09-05 [iippo]: I don't mind the wait, I'm finishing off some other need-to-do's while waiting, so don't mind it at all. You just get better TR and we'll get a proper battle on for the crowd. Wouldn't want a half-done opponent anyway :P
2006-09-06 [Evilmonk]: No, everyone is writing EXACTLY what I was thinking. I am not going to change the rules now, but after this final there will be ammendments. iippo now has the right to change her opponents catagory. I believe Marc is ill, and will give the benifit in this case only, but in future finals NO such leeway will be given, no matter who you may be. A fact is that IF Marc wanted to he could have done his entry already. So from now on the rule is if you can't represent yourself IMMEADIEATLY then you automatically forfit and the runner up becomes the new finalist. Like I said, in this case I believe Marc is sick, but lets face facts, ET is NOT a UTOPIA. There are assholes out there that have nothing better to do with their days than try to find ways to spoil everyone elses fun. You just KNOW eventually they will come here and try to do the same to us. So tell everyone you know that the rules are going to be getting an update in light of these events, and to keep thier eyes peeled.
2006-09-06 [Perplexity]: EVE is an ever expanding and growing entity - I think more people should be watching the Rules page =/
2006-09-07 [TheRogue]: where is the list of choices of subject?
2006-09-07 [Cia_mar]: Drawing Tournament Suggestions
2006-09-07 [Cia_mar]: by the way welcome back! glad you are feeling better!
2006-09-07 [iippo]: My own suggestion coming to bite me in the ankle... o.O Shoulda known...
2006-09-07 [TheRogue]: haha! I looked at TRAPPED and went.. ugh.. how the heck am I gonna do that? LOL
2006-09-07 [Cia_mar]: they have a way of doing that...*nurses own wound from round 2*
2006-09-07 [iippo]: Hmm, someone recommeded putting potato flour on the wound... you reckon it'll help? :P
2006-09-07 [Cia_mar]: hmmmm no i think only pitty will help if administered in sincere yet small doses!
2006-09-12 [Mom]: One more day...I can hardly wait.=\
2006-09-12 [TheRogue]: 0.0;;
2006-09-12 [iippo]: *agrees with TheRogue*
2006-09-12 [TheRogue]: no time... no time... no time.... *cries*
2006-09-12 [Cia_mar]: *waits with baited breath*
2006-09-12 [Perplexity]: He cries that same thing every round and lookit what he's delivered thus far!
2006-09-12 [Mom]: Typical male...I can't do it but then VOILA!
2006-09-12 [TheRogue]: yeah.. but at least i started mine two days before the deadline.. i haven't even put a pencil to paper yet. ^_^;;
2006-09-12 [Perplexity]: Where's Erin? Girl, crack that whip - or should I go get Yuriona?
2006-09-12 [Mom]: Well I suggest you get your ass in gear...lol
2006-09-12 [Cia_mar]: i say that yuri is pretty mean with taht whip.. you'd best watch out!
2006-09-12 [TheRogue]: i know i know.. just been sick and busy.. all at the same time.
2006-09-12 [Perplexity]: ZAT EES NO EXCUSE!
well... okay, it really is =/ *kicks dirt*
2006-09-12 [iippo]: Just checking, the entry has to be in at 13th, not before it? *fidgets for a while then runs off again*
2006-09-12 [Cia_mar]: does that mean you are done with yours already and are anxious to submit????????
2006-09-12 [iippo]: No, it means I'm panicking about how long, until I have to submit, how long can I keep doing it, and how fast I'll have to rush? xP
2006-09-12 [Cia_mar]: lol.. you will do fine!
2006-09-12 [TheRogue]: same here.. hehe
2006-09-12 [Cia_mar]: of course you will do well! Go Blue!!!!!!
2006-09-12 [Perplexity]: By the end of the day on the 13th - Elftown time (whatever that is lol)
2006-09-12 [Duredhel]: I think Elftown time is GMT rite?
2006-09-12 [Perplexity]: Maybe it is on Linköping time?
2006-09-12 [iippo]: No, it is GMT, British time when not-summer and not-Daylight saving time.
2006-09-12 [Cia_mar]: it is funny but when i read the word "Linköping"...
2006-09-12 [iippo]: Nope. :P Ö = like the vowel sound in "first", or "the" in some accents.
2006-09-12 [Perplexity]: The city of Linköping is roughly pronounced as lin-hsir-ping. The "ir" part as the "ir" as in shirt. The hsir part is pronounced as one syllable, a bit like cher but with the vowel sound as in shirt.
2006-09-12 [Perplexity]: Got this off of http://homepag
2006-09-12 [Perplexity]: The letter k or K can be like the English k but changes to a unique Swedish sound when followed by ä, ö or y.
Curl your tongue backwards so that it touches the rear of your palate. Lower it a little then try to make the "sh" of shoe sound.
I will represent this sound as "hs" in further examples. The usual English "sh" sound is made with the tongue at the bottom of the mouth. With a little practice you will be able to make a fair attempt at making this sound in the Swedish way.
The Swedish equivalent of the French word "cher" is written "kär" and has a very similar sound.
2006-09-12 [Perplexity]: You should hear the funny sounds I am making over here... lol
2006-09-12 [iippo]: This reminds me how much I hated Swedish lessons, lol.
2006-09-12 [Elegy - gone]: If I weren't Norwegian, I wouldn't understand a word of this O.o
2006-09-12 [Perplexity]: lmao
2006-09-12 [Cia_mar]: me too plex!!!!!!!!!!
2006-09-12 [Duredhel]: I'll stick with spanish, thank you XD
2006-09-12 [Cia_mar]: never liked that either.... french was my fav!
2006-09-12 [Elegy - gone]: English is mine :3
2006-09-12 [Cia_mar]: you know i am really bad at english! i mean c'mon all that grammer and usage... not to mention that those who speak it think they are better than the rest of the world's languages...*w
2006-09-12 [Elegy - gone]: But I love the English grammar! It's much more fascinating than the Norwegian one, that's for sure =P
2006-09-12 [Cia_mar]: funny i think i have said that about gealic once! i would love to learn gaelic more proficiently
2006-09-12 [Remos Page]: got a tape here some where of gealic ?
cia_mar see if i can find it ?
2006-09-13 [WestFactor]: [iippo], you can win this! I knew that it would be a tough match for you since Blue team was stacked to the ceiling (lol). We can beat Mr. Rogue with the heart of the cards. :P
2006-09-13 [iippo]: xD *high fives WestFactor*
2006-09-13 [Cia_mar]: that is an interesting interpretation of the theme...lol
remos: cool, thanks...is it irish or scotish gaelic?
2006-09-13 [Remos Page]: irish ?
2006-09-13 [Cia_mar]: i ask only cuz there is a differance.... like with my screen name... it is actually a part of a scottish gealic phrase... Ciamar a tha thu? which means " how are you?"...
but in irish the same phrase is written...
Munster-Leinst
"What is it as you are?"
Connacht (Western Irish) Cén chaoi a bhfuil tú?
"What way {is it a guy?} that you are?"
Donegal (Ulster, Northern Irish) Conas taoí?
"How are you?"
2006-09-13 [Cia_mar]: i am interested in learning the donegal dialect! that is where my grandfather is from
2006-09-13 [Remos Page]: oh! ok i put it in a cupboard and was going to get round to it
that was 2 year back lol
2006-09-13 [Cia_mar]: lol... actually i totally understand that... i do the same with many of my things!
2006-09-13 [TheRogue]: OMG!! THAT IS AWESOME!!!!LOL
2006-09-13 [Mom]: *Picks [TheRogue] up off the floor* It's okay Bud...You can beat her. I have all the confidence in you.(I love you [iippo] but I have to support the team =\)
2006-09-13 [TheRogue]: You don't understand... this contest is on ET time.. and I haven't had time to do anything...I may have to forfeit due to not having an entry. (which is extremely mortifying, btw.)I almost want to throw it in, instead of crapping something out and insulting my opponent who has worked so hard on theirs. :(
2006-09-13 [Mom]: I don't want to hurt you boy...>=[
2006-09-13 [Yuriona]: Yeah, I might even consider breaking thumbs here.
2006-09-13 [Cia_mar]: hey now i think i remember monk saying that a forfeit meant that the next runner up for that team would be in the running to take a player's place... would that mean that monk himself would then take your place?... hmmm...
and yuri, a bet for the team to win it all and not on the individual player wouldn't be effected by a forfiet, would it?
2006-09-13 [Yuriona]: I think in this case if Rogue did have to forfeit, I'd just carry all bets placed on him over to the artist who takes his place since its not like he'd be forfeiting because he's a lazy ass. Being hospitalized is a pretty good excuse I think. LOL!
2006-09-13 [TheRogue]: I am just... UGH. :(
2006-09-13 [Cia_mar]: good point!
2006-09-13 [Evilmonk]: OK, TheRogue has just written me and is afraid he has to forfit his round, which by the rules means I would have to take his place. This is where things get a little tricky, because we haven't made the rules for a final round forfit, which we honestly didn't think was going to happen. OH! First lemme say that I wrote Marc back and asked if this is REALLY what he wanted to do. I told him to keep in mind that he would be banned from competing in the next tourney, also in accordance with the rules. So if he write back and says he is sure that that is IN FACT what he feels he has to do, then I will make it offical and step up in his withdrawl. Back to the issue. If I should take his place then we are looking at fairness here. Is it fair that iippo got a catagory from him that I might not have selected? Iffy, but I KNOW it isn't fair to make her do another work for something she had no control over. So I am going to leave the decision up to iippo. You -iippo- can change it all or change nothing. If you want to run with the wonderful piece you have then by all means say so. If you want to change my catagory, you may do that as well. If you want to change your catagory and do another work, say so and it'll happen. One thing...if you do decide to run with your current work, which is fine, the page will be locked so as to prevent any tampering. It will be treated as an entry that made the deadline, but even though I know you wouldn't, I don't wanna leave the page open for edits. That would give you whats called the "2 week" advantage. I will have 1 week from tonight to post my entry. Does this sound fair to everyone? I want it more than all to be fair, so if you have some ideas then give em to me quick, so we can keep this thing moving. All in all I feel that this is whats fair.
2006-09-13 [Rennie]: sounds about as fair as you can be :)
2006-09-13 [Evilmonk]: I hope so. It's unfortunate but I told him Life always comes first. One can't exist without the other, you know?
2006-09-13 [iippo]: If it comes to that, I wish to change nothing: I would choose 'trapped' as your category as well, since it is the coolest category that hasn't been done yet. :) It is also impossible for me to do another one, since I had this tournament-thi
2006-09-13 [Perplexity]: I think you should stand by that entry anyway, iippo - what a marvelous idea! A basketball team lol that never even occurred to me! =D
2006-09-13 [Cia_mar]: yeah i think that the opponant that takes over for the forfitor should get the same catagory that was chosen to begin with... that seems fair! and also i think a fair ruling would be to allow the opponant that did not forfit to decide whether or not they keep their own theme or to allow the new player to choose a new one! either way i think the advantage should go to shoever doesn't forfit when it comes to choice! hope that all made sense!
2006-09-13 [TheRogue]: I'm sorry guys.. :( I hate to let everyone down like that. I thought I could pull something out this time, but I have so much going on I didn't get anything done. So Yes. I am officially withdrawing from the competition, understanding the rules of what happens due to my forfeiture. Admitting I couldn't do what I set out to do is very hard for me, I don't give up easy. *sigh* good luck guys.
2006-09-13 [Yuriona]: Hey, real life happens. We know you're not the type to give up without a fight Rogue.
2006-09-13 [TheRogue]: as long as everyone knows that i'm not just flaking out. :( it would hurt alot if everyone thought that is what I was doing.
2006-09-13 [Cia_mar]: *hands rogue a box of corn flakes* lol
2006-09-13 [Evilmonk]: As long as you had a good time doing it...that is what counts. Yes, its a contest and yes, everyone wants to win, but this should be- bottom line- FUN! You can learn somethings along the way too but you should be having a good time while challenging yourself creatively. I just felt that DIRECT competition brings out some folks best work. Thats the theme. The ban? Well thats just to discourage folks from forfiting and to think about this seriously before entering. It's NEVER personal. It's just one of those things that has to adhere for everyone. No Marc, NO-ONE thinks you flaked on us. You did the best you could, and I think if...and thats a big "if", I was to win this thing, that folks would still know it should have been you going for it all. Actually...now that I think of it...what would everyone say if we gave Marc another week? Since time has been the only issue, and I would have to take a week to get my entry done, what if we give a one time re-prieve to the one who is REALLY SUPPOSED to be in this thing, to the finish? The only thing we'd lose is a week, which I would have to have anyways. Marc has had a hard week and was sick and all. This would not be a regular thing, but I REALLY don't feel right about ending this on a forfit, and I would take no joy if I was victorious knowing it was not me that was supposed to be. I think we should let em go. Objections?
2006-09-13 [Evilmonk]: Can you do it Marc, if you were presented with another week?
2006-09-13 [Rennie]: I may be biased, but I for one would like to see this contest close as it was meant to.
2006-09-13 [iippo]: No objection from me. Considering that he hasn't started yet(right? Didn't misunderstand here, did I?), it wouldn't make a difference, since I took a week to do that drawing, and he'd have a week to do his, so it'd be even. And if absolutely necessary for all fairness, I can even change the subject if people think he too should have just one week to think and do the whole thing, but I'm not fust about that (I do want to see "trapped" done).
2006-09-13 [TheRogue]: If everyone else has no heartburn with it, I will accept the reprieve, though I will accept it honorably, but carefully. No I have not started on anything or really even came up with an idea so we can keep 'trapped' if you want.
2006-09-13 [Evilmonk]: Good, good, good! It just didn't feel right, you know? Marc has earned the right to be here and since this is THE FIRST EVE tourney, I would like to see it end with the folks who earned the right to be where they are. This makes me very happy! =D
2006-09-13 [Elisha Kelly]: :O I thought I had this page on watch.... naughty me.. Nice entry [iippo] :D
2006-09-14 [Yuriona]: WHEE! Another week to place those bets! *shakes fist* LOL!
2006-09-16 [TheRogue]: Ugh.. alright so what is the new deadline? I think i missed that somewhere. (went to doctor friday and i now have tonsilitis >.<) twice in 3 weeks being sick is a record.. i never get sick..*sigh*
2006-09-16 [Lothuriel]: *hugs and sends feely-good vibes your way* I hope you start to feel better soon!
2006-09-17 [Perplexity]: The new deadline should be September 20th.
2006-09-17 [TheRogue]: Got it. :D
2006-09-19 [TheRogue]: DONE! thank you guys for letting me do this.. I really had to think hard on that topic.. :D now i can relax again.. :D
2006-09-19 [iippo]: Oh no, not Marcel Marceau! xD
Awesome work Rogue!!
2006-09-19 [Yuriona]: OMG! That's awesome Rogue! ROFL! Excellent job both of you!
2006-09-19 [TheRogue]: *BEAMS* I really had to think how to do something other than my comic book fallback crap.. :D
2006-09-19 [Perplexity]: LOL - Mimes get what they deserve! Nice work, Rogue - now go get well, damn it! You're not allowed to get sick anymore this year.
2006-09-19 [Cia_mar]: ooo... i like the new entry!...*chee
2006-09-19 [Yuriona]: The pigeon roosting on the box is a nice touch. ;)
2006-09-19 [Cia_mar]: *agrees!*
2006-09-19 [Mom]: Nice work Rogue...it is definately out of the norm for you. If I didn't see your name on it I would have had a hard time figuring out who did it.
2006-09-19 [Perplexity]: Judges have been notified that the Final Round is ready to be decided! =D We shall soon have our victor for the opening tournament of EVE! How exciting! Tomorrow, we shall roll the dice for Tournament #2 slots and see who is on what team, etc. ^^
2006-09-19 [Cia_mar]: whoot!!!!!!!!!
2006-09-19 [Mom]: Yippie!!!
2006-09-19 [Perplexity]: People who have battled in the Tournament, feel free to start voting in EVE Contestant Voting Booth so we can hand out those prizes, too!
2006-09-19 [Yuriona]: Ooooh man... *starts sharpening her pencils*
2006-09-19 [Cia_mar]: lol true!!!!!!!
2006-09-19 [smakeupfx]: Lordcomedown LOL... it took me far too long to get it, then I damn near blew Diet Coke out my nose ;-) very funny [TheRogue]
2006-09-19 [Cia_mar]: *walks in with blue pom poms and blue cheer leeders uniform, and a megaphone...to
We say Hi
We say Hi with our battle cry
V-I-C-T-O-R-Y
We say Hi with our battle cry!
GO [TheRogue]!!!!
2006-09-19 [Perplexity]: *streaks past Cia_mar, her body painted blue, and steals her pom poms*
FREEEEEEEEEEEE
I mean, uh.... BLUUUUUUUUUUUU
2006-09-19 [Perplexity]: I hope my Mel Gibson/Bravehe
I love Jewish people. *cheesy smile* =D
2006-09-19 [Cia_mar]: some one has watched Braveheart one too many times...lol...
2006-09-19 [Perplexity]: Oooh you saw Mel's bits! :O
2006-09-19 [Cia_mar]: MOM!!!! where did you get that pic of me in my smurfette suit?!?!?!...*
2006-09-19 [Cia_mar]: *nods at plex*
leave it to a "mom" to find embarassing pics!
2006-09-19 [Mom]: I came acrossed it completely by accident.It was in the closet behind some books and between the base baord and the wall. XD
2006-09-19 [Cia_mar]: *snatches back pom poms!*
NORTH
SOUTH
EAST
WEST
Where Ever You Go...
BLUE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!
2006-09-19 [Cia_mar]: *winks at mom* well at least it isn't the one that you snapped of me while i was in the bath tub... how embarrassing..
2006-09-19 [Mom]: Sorry...it's in the job discription. See...#3 You must embarrass your kids as often. *Pictures included Bonus points*
2006-09-19 [Cia_mar]: *shakes head sullenly and whines* but he laughed at me... i mean the blue facial mud and the soap in my eyes...*sniffl
(so glad my real mom never did that... course i never went to prom and i usually never brought my boyfriends home to be embarrased for just that reason)
2006-09-19 [Cia_mar]: *reads rule #10 of kid manual* depending on how your parents decided to follow rule #3 in the parents manual, will determine how nice a "facility" they get to retire to when they are too old to protest being dropped off at "the home"
2006-09-19 [Mom]: I have all the kids embarrasing pictures put away...I am going to give them to their spouses when the get married. XD
2006-09-19 [Cia_mar]: lol
2006-09-19 [Duredhel]: Ah, the ever so dreaded "Mom and girlfriend in living room looking through baby picture albums", happened to me too many times.... anyhow. Rogue, yer entry is amazing O_O! I like thefact that its mostly back and white except for the coins. An artist I respect very much once said, the most important part of an image is what isn't shown in the frame. Love how Rogue is doing that ^^ that pic tells a story :P, though a funny and cruel one.
2006-09-19 [Cia_mar]: i really like the message written on the glass!!!!
2006-09-20 [TheRogue]: YOU SAW IT!!! WOOT! HAHAH
2006-09-20 [TheRogue]: you guys rawk man.. :D
2006-09-20 [Cia_mar]: yup! i like that the best about it really!...lol.
2006-09-20 [Perplexity]: I see'd it!
2006-09-20 [Cia_mar]: lol
2006-09-20 [Mom]: Am I seeing correctly...*G
Perplexity (Congrats [TheRogue] EVET1 Champion!!!)
2006-09-20 [Cia_mar]: is it true?
have the votes come in or are you just saying what you want to happen?
2006-09-20 [Mom]: *Points to [Perplexity]'s mood*
2006-09-20 [Cia_mar]: yeah that is what i meatn... i saw it too after you said it... and i was wondering if it is true or what She wanted.. sorry i mispoke...lol
2006-09-20 [Mom]: *Twiddles thumbs waiting for the offical posting*
2006-09-20 [Cia_mar]: *ditto*
2006-09-20 [Perplexity]: It tis official my friends! Four of the five judges have spoken and 3 voted for [TheRogue] and 1 vote for [iippo]. Yet another tough decision - I think it got tougher as the rounds progressed! Great job everyone who participated and I hope Tournament #2 is just as awesome as our maiden voyage in this thing called EVE! =)
2006-09-20 [Mom]: Congrats to both of you...great jobs. *Pats Rogue on the back*
2006-09-20 [TheRogue]: I really loved your entry iippo...my whole week was trying to decide on something that could stand up to yours.. :) i am actually suprised at the outcome.. *hugs*
2006-09-20 [Cia_mar]: great job both of you!... i like iippo's because it is very unexspected interpretation of the theme! and the likenesses are cool too! but i think that the boldness of the lines is what blew me awau with yours Rogue! you really pulled it off and while all that was black and white contrast, the little things like the hidden message i think sold me on yours!
over all i think that this was a great comp and was not for any sissies!! the participants in each round had to deg deeper than they have ever had to get the better of their opponants... and truly it has been inspiring! i for one can say that i have grown and seen others grow through this contest! great job one and all! we all deserve applause!
2006-09-20 [Yuriona]: Congrats Rogue! That was an awesome entry! XD Excellent job everyone... *goes to pay out bets*
2006-09-21 [iippo]: Congrats TR, good job! :D
