Graphics Wars [Guild Info] Options

[lovescream]

Hii. :] We would like to present you the GRAPHIC WARS along with its rules and conditions.

THIS TIMEEEEE, WE will be setting up your guilds for you. :) Thanks.
UPDATED 11/25/07 with a new way of setting things up. Sorry for the lateness. :)

Thank you Trancie (xtrancie) for helping me put this together along with her wonderful ideas. (So if they're weird ideas, blame her :D)


This is how the war will work until further modification.
Please check this thread consistently if you plan to participate, it will be updated from time to time.

GENERAL RULES

1. After the guilds are set up, further instructions will be given when it comes to more members joining and recruition. Stay tuned. :D
2. Each guild will consist of 5 members at max.
   • Note: The number of members in each guild will change once more people participate (So if you want more people in your guild, tell peoples to join! =D)
3. No duplicate accounts to other guilds to 'spy' or something. If you violate this rule, you and all your other accounts will be dismembered from all guilds permanently.
4. Guild members and its leader MUST be active once the guild is created.

- Requirements to join a guild will depend on the guild president.

MANDATORY INSIDE GUILD RULES

- These rules must apply at all times.

1. EACH GUILD IS REQUIRED TO HAVE THEIR OWN:
   • Guild President, this person will represent the guild as a whole.
   • Vice Guild Presdient, this person will help the president when in need or when in absent of the president on deadline dates.
   • Historian, this person will record all actions, submissions, complaints, and PMs that are made within the time of the war.
   • Treasury, this person will be in charge of keeping the money(points) for their guilds. Inaccurate ammount of money counted are to be taken away by the War Goddesses(Trancie and Toby). This also means that if you submit in the wrong ammount of points, you will lose ALL the point you've earned and have to start over. So be honest =)
2. Guild members have the right to impeach their president in case of irresponsibility or other unreasonable actions. (Please PM either Trancie or Toby before your guild impeach your president and tell us the reason for the impeachment)
3. In case of impeachment, the vice president shall become the Guild President, while the president will be kick out of the guild and the new vice president can be elected without the guild.
4. DO NOT MAKE THIS A DICTATORSHIP OR MONARCHY.
5. Guilds have no right to reject their guild members for race, age, or sex. But experiment level are okay =D
6. NO PMSING WHEN YOU ARE IN A GUILD. :]
7. Please keep it clean between the guilds. Let your graphics do the talking (however, please leave inappropriate content off your graphic please), not your language. =)
8. Forum rules apply at all times.
9. NO JOCKING/JACKING/PLAGIARISM
10. More Rules will be added later =)

If you're going to be the president of your own guild, you are responsible for the members in it and all their actions. If one of the member violate the rule, the WHOLE guild will face the consequences.

Judging and voting will soon be announce =)

[IVIike]

Sounds like a good idea guys

[digitalfragrance]

Should this be pinned?

[xtrancie]

that would be great of you rachel =)

[Smarmosaur]

YAYYAYYAYYAY!!!!!!!

LMAO @ PMSING.
quick question. it really doesn't matter who's in our guilds, right? and anybody can make them?
i'm sorry for my blondness-it's too cold for a brain to function right now.

[digitalfragrance]

Pinned
Guys, this looks awesome!

[xtrancie]

Yes anyone can be the leader of the guild

But please, we do not want to see 15 leaders with 1 member >_>

[Smarmosaur]

is anybody else having trouble finding people or am i just not cool enough?

[arcanum]

This is a freakin awesome idea, I just hope it works out well.

[lovescream]

You can ask random people you see or ask your friends. The requirements to join a guild depend on YOU (I guess if you're the leader), so you can have people with just a couple of posts (hopefully that's your friends you got to join :P). If they'll be active or not is my biggest concern.

[markmejia]

Eyeyeyeyeyeyeye'm joining.
Toby, I'm allowed to be in your guild, right?

[xtrancie]

Sorry Mark, Toby and Trancie are NOT allow in ANY guild =) no sucking up to the War Goddesses XD ahahha


About recruiting, if you have hard time finding a guild, i was thinking of having people sign up first and THEN recruit their guild. That way, it's easier for you to choose the members.

If you plan to be a guild leader, please PM me or Toby ASAP, we'll have your name on the first post in case if anyone want to join YOUR guild.

[shadowfax]

Yeah, maybe it'll be easier for anyone interested in joining a guild to post here and say it just so we all know how many people there will be in total.

Does each guild need to have the same number of people?

[xtrancie]

I suggest that they do, or else it wont be fair. I also dont want an overpowering guild. As in, i dont want to see 5 top designers in 1 guild (AHEM MARK >_>). Just to make it fair for everyone and make it less scary for the less experienced people (woo hoo i found a new way to say noob lol!)

[pandora]

uh i'm not going to reject a "top" designer just because i already have two/three others.

[libertie]

This sounds like a pretty good idea. I'm interested in seeing what happens.

[arcanum]

I would join if I wasn't so lazy when it comes to designing. I wouldn't be consistent at all. haha

[shadowfax]

Before I seriously consider joining, what sort of wars would there be? As in, what would you be required to make? (I understand it would be different each time.) Is it like CBNTM where you have many rounds until one guild is left standing?

[Smarmosaur]

WELL i got one of my friends whose pretty decent with photoshop to sign up and be my VP so...

[lovescream]

It'll be free for all battles, you can create it at any time. Some major contests that we (Trancie and I) can/might hold would be like CBNTM, but that won't be very often, and yeah. But for the most part, the main idea is just whenever battles.

[arcanum]

Did this actually go anywhere? It's way past the 8th.

[shadowfax]

Lol, the deadline's over and now I'm considering joining.

[arcanum]

LOL, I know. Me too. xD
I haven't seen much of Toby though.

[Smarmosaur]

srsly...i was all for this and everything.
did anybody ever submit members and such? i'm such a loser i couldn't find anybody.

[lovescream]

IOOOOnno. I was waiting to see if Trancie was gonna say anything lmfao. Nobody sent anything to me though. I can't find trancie though. >:o she never on AIM when I am.

[freeflow]

If trancie has nothing my suggestion would be for you guys to expand the deadline. And look for more people to help with the contest. That way if two of you get really busy or we never see you , there is always one. And vice versa. :] Especially if this gets up and running.

[Smarmosaur]

if this is even still happening, i think you should randomly pick guilds. like...draw names out of a hat or something one everybody submits their names. but also give people the chance to say who they want to be with. like...one person. MAYBE two. i dunno...just an idea.

[lovescream]

^ I think that's a better idea, now that you mention it. At first, I wanted it to be the way we have it set up already so that we know everyone will get along and whatnot, but seeing as how this isn't working out.. hmm.

dangit, where is trancie? XD

[1angel3]

I'd like to join.

[ipetpandas]

She's been playing with the wii wii.

well maybe also let them mention anybody they'd rather not work with/don't get along with? :]

[Lanochka]

How do you join? o.o

[dannyordinary]

I would like to be in a guild.

[xtrancie]

sorry im right here!, i was away because of thanksigivng =)

[1angel3]

So Trancie, is this thing gonna happen?

Good question. Who wants to be in my group?

[lovescream]

HIHIHIHIH! :D
I've updated the first post, so anyone can join now and we'll determine your guild for you. If you'd like to still, read it and PM me with your thingy. :D Hopefully this still works out well. Hehehe.

[Smarmosaur]

just one quick question before i join...
how long is this going to last? because some uhh...things happened with my dad and my photoshop got deleted. i have a free trial of cs3 extended but that only lasts for so long.
and i absolutely refuse to resort to gimp or whatever it's called.
so...yeah...just curious on what i could do.

[lovescream]

for as long as it can? >< To put it simply, this is gonna be grouping people up so they can learn from each other and have competitions with each other WHENEVER THEY LIKE without a mod setting it up or something. Free-for-all, easy, and quick 'battles' is what we're aiming for. :D Something to help the graphic community, IMO. >__<

[1angel3]

Who wants to be in my group?

If you want to be in my group, PM me

[Smarmosaur]

hm. alright. i guess i can go dig out my old photoshop. yeah...i think i'll do that. :]

[lovescream]

ahaha, sorry if I didn't make it clear, but this time we're just gonna have everyone who wants to participate in this to PM me and we'll (trancie and I) put the participants in guilds ourselves and have them decide on the name, leader, etc. TOGETHER, once that is done. :)

[1angel3]

I'd like to join.

[markmejia]

TOBY. WHERE IS YO` ASS!?

Wait Toby, what were you waiting for again?

[lovescream]

[markmejia]
