Blog-Off Planning

    I'll make this look prettier and write it out properly later, but for the moment I just want to get the general idea written down.

    In the Blog-Off participants are required to post an entry on their blog relating to the theme we give them. That post should then be posted in the Blog-Off thread via a link.

    Judging in the Blog-Off is given as a score out of ten from each member of the panel, accompanied by brief written feedback. At the end the person with the highest score wins (second and third will also be given if we have enough participants).

    The panel currently consists of
    -gimmepie
    -Kiyoshi the Polar Bear
    -Eros

    In keeping with the theme of "The Olympics" I think that we should go with a theme of "successes and failures". The writer can choose to write from a personal standpoint or an article on someone/something else so long as it can be justified as fitting the theme. They will also have the option of writing only about a success, only about a failure or about both.

    Update:
    -Eros has completed the panel
    -I'll throw some CSS together and do a proper write-up in the near future.
    -CSS complete.
    -Emblems made.

    What do you guys think of this as the OP for the event?


    The Blog-Off


    Welcome to the twelfth annual PC Get-Together fellow bloggers!

    This is event is a writing competition in order to see who can produce the most interesting and well-crafted post to their blog. In sticking with this years theme, which is the olympics, your post must be related to a general topic of "successes and failures".

    This can mean a success or failure of your own, of someone else, it can be about something historical or even something philosophical. You are also not required to write about both. You can do both, or focus on just a success or failure. Feel free to be as creative in interpreting the topic as you wish in bringing us the best read you can provide!

    Judging


    The judging method in this competition is quite simple. Your score is based upon the creativity and quality you demonstrate, how interesting a read your entry is and on how closely your entry fits the topic. Once each member of the judging panel has reviewed your entry, they will give you a score out of ten (?10) as well as some short written feedback. At the end of the competition the three people with the highest scores will be given first, second and third and will be revealed.

    The judging panel consist of gimmepie, Kiyoshi the Polar Bear and Eros. If you have any queries you may post them here or contact one of us.

    I was curious, I don't have a photoshop or anything like that, but I am fairly decent with spritework if you're into that.​
     
    I think go for it with the sprite work. Do you have any sort of images in mind?

    Well, I'm mostly versed in how most Pokemon stuff works, but nothing particular springs to mind. Maybe metals? Desks and Papers? Books that look like they get more and more distinguishing metals? Just rattling off some thoughts.​
     
    Could you do gold, silver and bronze medals with a pencil engraved on them?

    OKAY SO I DID A THING

    I don't know if I'm in love with them, considering I didn't do much to the actual medals themselves ... they're straight out of Black and White 2, but they were so pretty and came in all the right colors. ;;

    But here we are; if you don't want to use them, there are at least some good ideas to use when we remake them. They go: Participatory, Bronze, Silver, and Gold starting from the left.
