Well, this thread has ripened enough, I think I will throw in my two cents...
From the top:
Quote:Ahh, hold on a minute there, Mr. Max. It is funny, as you have been here even longer than I, but let us not forget the way it was about a year ago. HM was a lot different, I admit, but a lot of s**t got slung. When BA writes:
Quote:He means a certain Eroupean fellow and, well to be quite honest, one of the main reasons Heromorph was created in the first place. So, I understand where he is coming from, and one must be "True To Your School", as it were.
But enough about that, Here is another thing that is beginning to look ludicrous:
How many of the participating artists are members at both sites? Surely I am not the only Member to notice. I mean, come now, just off the top of my head:
Android
Black Alchemy
Winterhawk
Myself
Brick
Batmic
MatrixBlur
Divine Monkey
Junfan
Ahormona
Quantum FX
Angelophile
Cereal Killer
PowerMaster Jazz
Se7enDaze
ThayneLuc
Are without a doubt mutual members. And then there are artists from C2F, who now post here:
DPerciful
B
Kev Incal
Bathori
Poison Ivy
Mystic Morgan
The Imij Factory
Cmeza
Bill Turner
Amy Karas
Bearbot
Even Force95B, when he works up th courage to post his stuff. (C'mon, it's not exactly abig secret...) So, how is this a Competition between sites? Let's not forget, this year's winners were two guys from C2F!
Deadlines are deadlines, I think you have to accept that in any Project. Limits are limits, that is life.
What I liked the most about last year's Crossover was working with Poison Ivy, creating something that could be posted twice, if for no other reason. I don't like the word Competition, I like the word Challenge: A Challenge to The Artists to Create Art Mutually.
The things I like in this thread are:
Three tiers of artists, so no one gets annoyed or feels humiliated. I also think it will match up artists who are at the same stage in thier development, i.e. have been using Photoshop for x years.
Match up artists in the same sub-group, i.e. I want to work with an Advanced Artist who posts primarily at C2F.
Loose deadline. Hell, we do that already. We'll have three: One for the Rookies, One for the Cruiserweights and one for the Advanced. Rookies have to go first...
(Just kidding! Don't worry!)
Voting can be both, or either: If by ballot, ballots must be emailed. (We've done this before, no big deal. Hey, if you don't have email, I don't want you voting anyway!)
If by Judging, that's even better, but more work for Judges. Max and Mike should be in charge of that, if this is the choice...
("It's like calling 'shotgun', Max. I called it, so you have to do it...")
Max and Mike, call the ball...

Bad blood? I haven't noticed any, except for the odd individual tirade, there is usually worse going on within the sites than directed outwardly.
Quote:
The blood between Heromorph and C2F is thin as it is (and I won't get your blood boiling by stating my thoughts on that). A competition will just make the rift between the two sites wider.
