Title: Merc's Tournament
Description: for all ages :D


Merc - February 15, 2008 10:33 PM (GMT)
To begin, in order to participate, you must submit one mug and one sprite.
Both have to be the same people (you might just want to update your personal mugs and sprites)
You do NOT have to PM these to me, just post them both in the topic.
Both in one file, non transparent, white background, PNG format (strict).

I will let people submit until next Friday UNLESS, there is at least three day's of no submissions.
So get them in as soon as possible.


Once submissions are all in, Everyone will be paired up. Unless there is an odd number of people, I'll explain what I'll do if that happens.

When paired up, you'll have only 5 days to accomplish your contest objective.
Once time is up, I'll set up polls.

New voting method.

Each contest submission will each be giving its own poll.
Your vote will be on a number from 1 through 10 based on the way I tell you to vote.

Polls will be up for 3 days.

After the votes have been casted and time's up, I will calculate the average number of all the votes.
This way it's not "Hey this one is only slightly better so I'll vote it" or "idk they both look so good *votes randomly*"
I encourage every voter to vote on all polls. Even though, it's the average which isn't effected by a major lack of votes.

If I make a mathematical error with the final average, please send me a PM.

The contest themes will be introduced once the tournament commence. However, they won't be your average " lol who's sprite looks c00l3r1!!!!1111! :)".

I just hope there's more submissions.

You're typing makes it seem like there's a lot of doubt in this. :/

Merc - February 15, 2008 11:10 PM (GMT)
My high vocabulary, or the recap.

The vocab was to make me look smart. :D and the recap was so people know what to do. so they don't ask the questions that make other members quote the first post.

That's telling me, "Oh man.. Well, go ahead n post. But if there's 3 days of nothing, then it's over."

There it is again! :D

Merc - February 15, 2008 11:47 PM (GMT)
Oh, if there's three days of no submiting then we start the tournament, I just don't want to wait when everyone who wants to join submits all their sprites and mugs after the first day, and having to wait 6 more days just to start it.

Basically the three days tells me, "Ok, looks like we've got everyone who wants to join, let's start."


@DL - No it doesn't have to be your personal mugs. So your entry is good to join. ;D

Oh! I gotcha.

So, what if it's just me and DL?

Merc - February 15, 2008 11:54 PM (GMT)
lol, it would be less work for me, but less epic in the process. D;

oranj - February 15, 2008 11:54 PM (GMT)
If it is just you and DL, than it will be just you and DL

Merc - February 15, 2008 11:57 PM (GMT)
Well, actually, IF it was only you and DL, then I would revolve the whole tournament around you two. Same amount of contests only no eliminations until I average all the averages from all the polls.
