It has come to the attention of the administrative staff that a number of individuals involved in these board-wide competitions have been using these threads to sneak disruptive code into the system. There will be no discussion permitted in regards to the guilty parties, and for the time being there will be no more contests allowed.

If any of you have any additional information about this matter, please contact Roland St. Jude.

Uhh, everyone's entries are so funny.
Why is it so hard to think of a pun:smallfrown:

[Hyoumu Yau]

I have a few questions...

1. Does a scene automatically switch from the normal category to the "OotS based" category, even if the scene hasn't anything to do with OotS besides that there is 1 OotS character in it?
2. It says we should only use our own artwork. But can we use other, non-stick pictures for a scene, e.g. a movie poster, if the desired effect cannot be reached without it?

Yup.

All the artwork done must be drawn or copied by you. Drawing or pasting a stick figure on an existing image done by another would not be allowed.

[Silverraptor]

Can I submit my entire comic "Idiosyncrasy"? Practically every one of them is either funny or mildly amusing. Although, I don't think you'd like it if I put in 27 comic entries in one post. So what should I do?

Make some new ones would be my suggestion. Point of this contest isn't really to make a comic however.

Mmm, yeah, though as this is a forum devoted to webcomics as much as anything that'd be a given really. When created this was thinking more of one panel gags or an amusing scene instead of an entire comic that builds up to it. It's a tough choice whether I allow them in their entirety.

I'll converse with the judges and get back to you.

Couple of my favourite jokes:

Bartender says, "No."
Duck says, "Got any bread?"

Duck says, "Got any nails?"
"NO! :furious:"
Duck says, "Got any bread?"
One day, a Big Brown Bear walked into the Burbon and Beefsteak Bar. He walked up to the bar, and said, "Gimme a beer."
The bartender said, "sorry mate, here in the Burbon and Beefsteak Bar, we don't serve beer to big brown bears."
The Bear was rather annoyed at this, picked up a stool and snapped it over his knee. He growled, "Gimme a beer."
The bartender said, "sorry mate, here in the Burbon and Beefsteak Bar, we don't serve beer to big brown bears, especially big brown bears who break barstools."
The Bear was quite cross, so he he turned and punched another patron square in the jaw. "Gimme a beer!"
"Sorry mate, here in the Burbon and Beefsteak Bar, we don't serve beer to big brown bears, especially big brown bears who break barstools and biff bystanders."
The Bear was now getting downright angry, reached over and smashed the bartender into a bloody pulp. "GIMME A BEER!"
"Sorry mate, here in the Burbon and Beefsteak Bar, we don't serve beer to big brown bears, especially big brown bears who break barstools, biff bystanders and bash bartenders."
The Bear was beside himself with fury, so much so that he tore an enormous chunk out of the counter with his bare teeth. "GIMME A BEER!"
The bartender said, "Sorry mate, here in the Burbon and Beefsteak Bar, we don't serve beer to big brown bears, especially big brown bears who break barstools, bif bystanders, bash bartenders and take drugs."
"GIMM- wait, drugs? What drugs?"
"What about that bar bit you ate?"

[Rutskarn]

This is my absolute favorite joke.


There once was a soldier, a grizzled veteran of many wars against the foreign Dantar and Eppian tribes. And as he fought, he made many sacrifices--he lost an eye to a spear, his teeth to a gauntlet, and his trusty sword grew pitted and rusted. Then the war ended, and he was adrift, known everywhere as the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword.

One day, he decides he needs something to complete him--a wife. He thinks on the matter, then decides that a soldier of his stature deserves only the best--the flaxen-haired daughter of the king himself. And so, determined as he was to win the king's daughter, he went to the castle.

As he arrived, he told the royal arranger, "I want to see the king."

The arranger said, "the king is seeing nobody."

And he said, "Not even the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword?"

And the arranger asked: "Well, that depends. Are you the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword?"

And the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword said: "Yes. Yes, I am the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword."

The arranger said, "Alright, then, he can see you."

And so the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword stepped into the king's chambers. The king regarded him regally--as kings do--and asked him, "What business have ye here, o man of a single eye, a single tooth, and a withered blade?"

And the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword said, "Well, my lord, I wondered if I might have your daughter in marriage."

The king said nothing at first, lost in thought. Finally, he said, "Well, soldier, this is quite a difficult request. Truly, you are valorous. You have slain many men of Dantar and Eppian in your day. Still...my daugher is a fair jewel. There are few of her like out there. There are, however, many suitors--many of whom have both eyes, and many teeth, and swords that gleam like sunlight."

And the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword grinned his one-toothed grin, and winked his single eye. "Well, my lord, I may have one eye, and I may have one tooth, and my sword might be rusted and old, but my one eye is good, and my one tooth is sharp, and my sword has never failed me yet. I promise you, my lord--all of these may yet serve you well."

And the king thought on this. Finally, he said, "Well..."

"Very well, solider, I will give you your chance. I will let you try for the hand of my daughter. But before I am convinced of your worth, you must complete for me three tasks. Do you understand?"

And the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword nodded, and grinned, and cried, "Yes!"

The king smiled benevolently, as kings do, and said: "Alright, then. Here is your first task.

"The Eppians have acquired a saintly relic--a chalice made of silver, once possessed by Saint Crane. You must go behind lines and retrieve for me this chalice."

And so, the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword set off for Eppian lands.

It took him many days and nights to cross the dunes to Eppia. He would go days at a time without food or water, driven by love and honor alone. He avoided the soldiers of Eppia, careful not to be seen.

Finally, he came across the sacred chalice, being transported in a carriage. Strangely, the carriage was made of canvas, but the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword paid this detail no heed.

He knew it would be difficult to acquire the chalice. It was guarded heavily. But he thought of the princess, and he mustered his courage, and he entered the carriage.

He raced past the guards, snatched the chalice of St. Crane, and dove out of the canvas carriage. Having accomplished this, he returned to the king.

He came to the king, the triumphant one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword, and said, "My lord, I have for you the Silver Chalice of St. Crane, taken from the Eppians!"

And the king smiled, as kings do, and took the chalice. "Well done. It seems I have underestimated the keenness of your one eye, and the truth of your rusted blade. Still, there are two more tasks. Are you ready for the next?"

And the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword said, "Yes, my lord, I am ready!"

The king smiled.

"Very well. This may sound strange, but trust me--it is important. A boat on Dantar waters carries a bottle with them. This bottle is made of jade, and bears the letter "T" on its stem. You must get the bottle from the Dantar boat and bring it back to me."

The one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword nodded, and grinned his one-toothed grin, and set off.

It took the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword many days to reach the Dantar boat, for it was swift, and he was but a lone seaman. But his efforts were not in vain--finally, under dead of night, he came to the side of the ship.

The one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword placed a gnarled hand on the side of the boat, and thought long and hard about what he was going to do. There would be many enemy seamen, and he would have to fight many before he could escape with the strange jade bottle. But then, he thought of the princess, and he boarded the ship.

He flung himself aboard, sword at the ready, hacking through dozens like a madman. They came in waves, but the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword was a skilled soldier indeed, and they were no match for him. Finally, he managed to break through the mob, kick down a door, spot the bottle with his sharp eye, grab it, and fling himself overboard. It took him many days to get to shore, but finally, he arrived--bottle clutched in his weathered hand.

And so, the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword returned to the king, and said, "Behold! For I have taken the jade bottle marked with a "T" from the Dantar boat!"

And the king laughed, as kings do, and took the bottle. "Excellent work, good solider! Excellent indeed! There is but one more task. It seems minor, of course, given what you have been through, but it is a task nonetheless."

And the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword smiled his one-toothed smile, and said, "My lord, I am ready!"

And the king took a breath.

"Good one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword, this task is simple. There is a blue sapphire at the bottom of a nearby cave, the Cave of Ant'erior. Retrieve it--but beware, for there are wolves below."

And the one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword raised his rusty sword, and cried, "It shall be done!"

The one-eyed-one-toothed soldier with a rusty metal sword set off, traveling many miles to the cave of Ant'erior. Finally, he came to the cave mouth.

At first, he was frightened, for there were wolves below that could tear the flesh from an ordinary man. But then, he thought of the princess, and he grew determined. He set off into the cave.

He was devoured by wolves.

I agree with Serpentine on this one.

And Silverraptor, I don't think it would be to your advantage to submit all 27 comics you have, because it would make the judging task soooo daunting that I would end up not reading most of them (to be very honest). It would be much better if you would pic the one you think is the best.

Also, it would mean you're competing mostly against yourself...

This is one of my favorite jokes. I hope it's not too religious. It's not offensive.

Yeah, it's preferred that you avoid spoilers. We forgive going over-size, but try not to go too huge. Anyway, if it's so huge that it really needs spoilers, it's probably too big to properly view and appreciate (Herpestidae. Yours isn't too bad, Half-Halfing, though I would suggest that you consider making all the panels slightly narrower. You don't need that extra space. Up to you, though).

Apologies Serp, but the second one's a screen stretcher.

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Now, see, I'd enter, but all I've got is this long rambling comic of Doofensmirtz Evil Incorporated-style villain-hero interaction starring Fullbladder and Jesse Drake. And I'm too lazy to make it.

"Oh hello Jesse Drake! I've been taking an online class on being more charismatic, and they want me to practise my handshake. Would you miund helping me out?*

*Fullbladder turns out to be inflatable decoy which explodes and ties Jesse up*
*nearby janitor reveals self to be real Fullbladder*

"Surprise! I have actually been taking Ventriloquism classes. Pretty good, huh? What took you so long? I have been mopping this same spot for hours waiting for you."

"You told me to be here at three. It's three now."

"I thought you'd be sneaky and show up early. Anyway, I asked you here to give you a demonstration of my latest horrible weapon of terror! It's right over here."

And so on. I think it'd be really good if I had started work on it a couple weeks ago instead of becoming increasingly lazy.

It'd eventually get to Fullbladder escaping in some kind of mechanical wingamathing and Jesse Drake firing the device (the UnMecher, which unmakes mechs) at the device, sending Fullbladder plummeting to the streets below. Then Drake would sigh and head out to see if he's alright, show up at the spot, and maybe find a Fullbladder-shaped crater (Fullbladder hiding behind a fire hydrant on the other side of the street, trying to use a psionic crystal to send Jesse away) The final panels would be Fullbladder checking to see if his crystal gambit worked, cheering, and realizing that Jesse was now behind him. I dunno.

Yes. Someone saw a preview of the movie before the effects were finalized, and noted that the most impressive part (besides what effects they did have) was that Zhao punched the Moon Spirit to death.

For those that know 4E: Yeah, that's right, I think Roy would at least multiclass Warlord in that system. Gotta make use of that high Int, after all :smalltongue:
For those that don't know 4E: In D&D's 4th edition, character classes with the 'leader' role (which is buffs 'n' heals, basically) all have a power that can heal 2-3 times an encounter, usually called (Adjective) Word, so Clerics can use their Healing Word, whilst Bard's speak a Majectic one. As a DM, I enjoy getting players to actually pick/say their Word at the table.

And just for kicks, here's the sketch of an idea I didn't have time to draw up that would have been a Funniest Scene. Based on a true story!

[Finally, I'd just like to say this: David Shaw's Inkscape/avatar guide? Pure gold.]

[Serpentine]

Welcome to the game :smallsmile: And your stuff is excellent for a beginner. Well, for a lot of old-timers, too, for that matter...

Couple of things: Put "Rookie Entry" and a title on every entry, not just the post (and especially not just one post, though you haven't done that yet).
More importantly, there's still time to do that last one! Doooo eeeet!
Finally, you might like to make that second one a bit bigger so we can see what's going on easier (I lolled on the inside when I got it :smallbiggrin:). I'm pretty sure it still counts as an "avatar" entry even if it's oversized for use as one, though you may like to wait for a judgement by Vorpal Tribble.

[Rösti]

Glad you like it! In my defence, I've been hand drawing OotS style critters as D&D monsters for a few months (badly) and it turns out that vector 'sculpting' suits me. Trying to directly mimic Rich's style really makes it clear how much subtlety he crams into these simple figures.
Will throw a few doodles into the showcase thread later this evening.

Also, I've made a few edits as suggested.


More importantly, there's still time to do that last one! Doooo eeeet!
DON'T TEMPT ME FRODO! I should *really* be revising (finals year, baby), which is the main reason it hasn't happened... but, well, Friend Google tells me that I've got 2 hours to do it. Let's say I'll try it and if I fail I'll edit out this line to cover my shame? :smallamused:

[Dashwood]

Rosti, I had thought about the same joke you have with durkon, but I remember a pirate with a steering wheel... Fabulous work for a beginner.

Does this contest officially end at the beginning of the new month, or the last day? If it's ending tomorrow I may squeeze one more entry in here.

Taking from the "Magic Items to be Put Back" archives, I flipped through a DMG and found a joke and a misspelling. The Cloak of displacement, and the cloak of blending.

It's not to hard to think of rhyming words through the hundreds of weapons, armors, and wondrous items in the 3.5 DMG. I'm sure there are countless ones you could do through addon source material.

Didn't put a whole lot of effort into these, so they're not my best work. I mostly went for the jokes here.

[Rösti]

Yup, the joke is normally told as a pirate. It's one of the few proper jokes with a punchline I can remember off-hand.
According to the front page, the competition ended a few minutes ago. :smallfrown: Turns out I don't do working under pressure - 2 crashes later I have this to show:

V blows up the house.

V randomly has an agent suit, and holds out a pair of sunglasses and says... "It looks like the philosopher..."

Then s/he put them on. "Was stoned."

Ok all, I've decided to wait to bring out the next contest in June.

Not the least of the reasons for this is I'm needing to find new official artists and judges.

If you or anyone you know might be interested in this please leave me a message.

[Dark Faun]

Don't, I like it. :smalltongue: We need to be able to laugh at our mistakes.
I'll remove it anyway. I shouldn't have entered this contest to begin with.

[Serpentine]

Why on Earth would you do that? :smallconfused::smallannoyed:
I request that you put it back. It's not as though this contest is bulging with entries to spare, and I certainly don't remember seeing anything to warrant removal (although, admittedly, I can't remember the entry).

[Dashwood]

That's one thing I noticed...If you've entered, and there are 3 prize slots, odds are you'll get something. Plus, it still makes me laugh.

How long does a judging usually take for IA? I entered once, but never followed up on it.
