Topic: A few queries regarding the December sprite contest

[Shiroi Koumori]

Yeah, yeah, I know the November sprite contest is still ongoing, but I would just like to straighten out some things that I have at the back of my mind since I have delegated myself as the one who should start each sprite contest thread.

Without further ado, here are the questions:
1. The topic for December is FOOD. Is it (A) free for all or (B) specific types of food (please specify what you want)?
Answer: Free-for-all

2. What is the largest pixel size? Remember these are food items and not boss sprites.
Answer: 32x32 maximum

3. Who would want to volunteer as judges? I need 3 people.
Answers: Dracula9 (tentative), uzo, Lelygax

4. Additional rules: (tentative, subject to change)
a. maximum of 16 colors per food item
b. maximum of 5 food items per submitter
c. must have a write-up of the description of each food item submitted (can be funny/punny or just plain ol' serious)

[Dracula9]

I'd say do the free-for-all. The opportunity for Simon to find a Big Mac, a Pepsi, and some enchiladas in a wall is too funny to pass up.

Size I'm not sure on. Off the top of my head I can't remember the exact dimensions of the super-wallmeat in Rondo, but I'd say maybe somewhere along those lines for a cap.

And I may volunteer to judge, but I haven't yet decided. It all depends on whether the current contest burns me out for a bit.

Ditto.

I also agree for a free-for-all. (A Big Mac sounds awesome)

As for size I would say 30 X 30 pixels for minimum to 80 X 80 for maximum pixel size. (In case someone wants to do a palette of foods)

I already have a shameless idea for January's contest...lol

[uzo]

I guess make a 'complete' meal. The definition of that is up to the person doing the entry.

An example would be like:
- Miso Soup
- Sushi
- Green Tea

Each would be it's own item.

Also, I'm down for judging again.

I second that idea!

Hehehe. Send me a pm. I want to hear about it. I'll be asking for topics for January by mid/late December.

And, updated the first post with new stuff.

[VladCT]

I vote for complete meals.

[Shiroi Koumori]

Added your vote.

[Dracula9]

I'm a bit confused. When I said free-for-all, I didn't mean to insinuate I was against a complete-meal requirement. I thought the question meant a free-for-all as in food choice, or food choices from a list or something.

[theANdROId]

Yeah...I wasn't imagining a full meal either, but just whatever any one or number of food items you wanted.  I would prefer we have the freedom to do just do whatever we want, whether or not it goes together...if I wanna make steak and potatoes (a common meal) I can...or if I wanna make PBJ and sushi (probably not a good combo) I can...or if I just wanna make a handful of Doritos I can.

[Shiroi Koumori]

I just decided that a free-for-all is the best way to go.
People who want a complete meal set are free to do so, while those who want to submit just one item are also free to do so.

I still need a volunteer judge.

[Lelygax]

Put me on that then, Im not very good at drawing anyway and I want to help the forum on something.

[Dracula9]

I think you'd make a fine judge, Lelygax.

You don't have to be an artist to make an opinion of art. It's really subjective anyway. I'd be interested to see how you perceive the entries.
