Last Icon Maker Standing Tournament - Interested?

Last Icon Maker Standing

Well, CowboyGuy kindly gave me permission to start a LIMS contest, and in this post I’ll explain a little about what it is to see if there’s interest.

The point of the contest is, as you’ve probably guessed, to make icons. Last Icon Maker Standing contests work on the basis of round-by-round elimination, until – as the name implies – there is one icon maker left standing. Each round an icon is created, sent in, and voted for. The person(s) with the lowest score(s) is eliminated, but everyone else can continue through to the next round.

Here’s what I’d like to know – would anyone be interested in participating in a SlayAlive LIMS tournament? And if the answer’s yes...

In a traditional LIMS competition, two to four screencaps are provided by the person running the contest, and these (and only these, plus textures, brushes, text etc.) are what can be used to make the icon. Would you prefer to follow this format, or have it adapted to a general theme (ie. No caps given) – and given free reign?

I hope that this all makes sense, and that there are at least a few people who would like to participate! If you have any more questions about how it would be run, just ask.

Thanks!

I would be up for it and I think giving caps is a good idea

[Just Willow]

i'm so in! and caps given sounds better to me.

[Skytteflickan88]

I'm in. And given caps sounds great.

You can a add a poll to see if people want given caps or not, it might be easier than reading all the responses(in case many reply).

I'll play. Don't really care about which type we play (in fact we technically could try both ways) but I can live with screencaps given out if that's what everyone else wants.

Oh, good point - some rounds caps could be given, some not.

Hah, shows my brain isn't working today, cos that's a really obvious solution.

Yay, glad some people responded

im in; give the images

[Jsebold87]

Icons are about the only things I can make, graphics wise, so I'd be in too I don't have photoshop, but I'm pretty handy with my old reliable 'paint' standby, lol. It doesn't matter to me if caps are given or not. I have a ton of caps saved, plus easy access to others, so it's up to whoever's running it.

Oh! This is an awesome idea! I'm in, and either way with the screencaps is fine. ^^

[●B E N]

Im in! Either way would be fine for me aswell.

[TabulaRasa]

I'm so in I'm almost out
and I like the caps idea.

Okay, I will probably post the proper sign-up thread tomorrow, with more information on how the contest will work.

[drusillacakes]

Can't wait-- it sounds like a lot of fun!

I opened the sign-up thread, here:

If a mod's reading this, could you maybe lock/move this thread now?
