Archived Activities / Secret Santa 2010
« on: December 24, 2010, 11:44:24 am »
Seasons Greetings everyone!

First of all, I would like to thank you all for participating. Also, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all the people I couldn't reply personally.

Olothontor, TheSilentRoomate, eldiabolito, alkaline, Fry, Jakten, SolidIdea and Atnas: If I don't receive anything from you guys by tomorrow, you'll be banned until the end of February and you won't be able to partake in the next Secret Santa. Of course you'll be getting a strike right away.

To those who sent in WIPs: Today is your lucky day. You won't receive a strike, but please finish your gifts ASAP. Or else :mean:

If you find any mistakes on the thread, please let me know and I will try to solve it.

Alright, TIME IS UP!
I'll be closing this thread.

Thanks to everyone who took part on this activity.

Olothontor, TheSilentRoomate, eldiabolito, alkaline, Fry, Jakten, SolidIdea and Atnas: I haven't received your gifts yet. Hurry up before I post the final thread. Otherwise you'll all be banned  :mean:

Anyway, the gifts will be posted shortly (I need to triple check everything!).

3
Thread updated!
If I counted properly, only 15 people are left. Not too bad I guess.

Keep them coming :)

4
What time today? I'll prolly be cuttin' it close.

I'll close it at around 12pm (noon) UTC+1.
So, roughly 13~14 hours left.

5
Thread updated! About a tiny bit more than half of the people submitted their gifts so far.
Getting there...

This should be obvious but:
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO SUBMIT YOUR GIFTS!
Finish your gifts and send them my way before it is too late!

6
Uhmm, I'd say close to 24 hours left (from this post).
I want to be fair to all the timezones, so I'll probably close the submitting once I get up tomorrow.

7
FRAWG, I got your PM, so no need to resend it.

As Clovvach has mentioned, if your name has a RoboSanta icon next to it (in this thread's first post) it means I got your gift and you are safe.
Unlikely but just in case, if you've PM'd me but didn't get your name marked by the mentioned icon, just contact me.

8
Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to send in your gifts!


Maybe the issue is that a month is too long a time; it seems like a lot of people forget/become disinterested etc... Perhaps Secret Santa should run for 2 weeks instead, that will give people less time to put it off.

Uhm... I guess it is something to consider. Perhaps next time I could set up a poll and have you guys choose.


what happens if mias or ptoing don't finish? :P

If hypothetically that were to happen, I'd ban them just like any other member.

9
You can send in WIPs if you can't finish your gift in time. You'll be getting a strike, but I guess better than a ban.

Ultimately, what I'm trying to avoid by having all these punishments is people without gifts.
It just seems like many people don't act unless something is on the line, and even then, year after year many people still don't deliver at the end.

General Discussion / Re: Pixel art and Sharpness
« on: December 21, 2010, 06:32:12 pm »
I don't think I have much to add; but over the years, I've realized that what I really like about pixel art is not the look, but its process.
The way you build up an image, having full control of everything. Sort of like a puzzle or building something with LEGO.
You have an amount of pixels you can use, and by arranging them in different ways, it just works.
Once you figure out how to start, everything else just clicks together.

Of course it could be replicated with vectors and some retouching (saving some time), but that simply doesn't interest me.
If I wanted to work with vectors, I'd be doing so.

Also I guess some sort of obsessive compulsive traits affect my choices as well.
I like order, and I like doing things right.
I just need a level of "polished-ness" to be happy.

So all in all, I just do what I like to do for my own mind-pleasure, following my own criteria.
