Re
No way - you mean, you drew cleric's by hand?!

If you don't mind me asking, what inspires your designs? Is it logo packaging from other sources or does it just come out of your head?

No idea - I haven't used CS5 before. Only the most recent version.

 * Wow, that's cool. So in summary, using PS and Illustrator (vector) and look for fonts online as inspiration. That should help with my packaging logo designing project (promotion packaging for a band - we've been asked to recreate the logo).


 * Oh, and if you have some time, could you make an artwork for my username? I'd like to see how you interpret it - and show my teacher. (If you do have some time, make the '13' XIII - that'd be cool) I know you're in a bit of a rush with your novel writing, so only at your convenience. You've been very helpful, so thanks for the tips bro.

Re Profile Pic
Hey, man, I'll have you know that Otis Driftwood and I look nearly identical. Seriously. Did I just read that you tried to make a font out of cockroach legs? That is the fucking coolest thing I have heard all week. Props to you, dog. Dumblecore forever!! HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 18:24, July 31, 2015 (UTC)

Grandpa doesn't even know what FNaF means. Care to elaborate? And speak up, sonny, you know my hearing aid is on the fritz!





I like it
Hey,

Good to hear from you, all is well here, hope the same for you.

As for your idea, personally, I like it. I think it could be fun, and if you open it up to Rollbacks and Admins, I might even enter a story myself. I haven't written anything but Tobit stuff in so long that it might be fun.

You have my support, but before you go live with it, I would suggest that you reach out to JayTen and bounce the idea off of him as well. I am not 100% sure if anyone else already has a contest planned for August. If they bless off on it as well, then I say go for it. If you get the green light, go ahead and propose your contest in the blogs, marking it with the Staff Blog category so it stays on the wall.

Best of luck,

Re:
I think it's a good idea, but you'll need to develop your plans: time limits, word count, judges, prizes, NSFW stories, etc (prizes can simply be bragging rights and a mention on your user page). My suggestion is to take the next few days to plan it, and by that time Travis will be back. Message me with a more developed proposal when you get it done, and I'll bring it up to the other admins. I don't see any issues with it, but I need to notify the other admins and give them a chance to respond.

That is one amazing logo
It's my desktop forever. Thank you so much, I love it. It's the first thing on my profile now. I'm going to study it to analyse every detail of how your logos are so amazing.

I did some designing of my own over the weekend, and I just started making my custom design for packaging - a playing card box. It's simple as of now, since I haven't had much time to elaborate. Thanks for the software suggestions - I downloaded CS5 and Gimp, and I used them both to create the packaging front (as you can tell, inspired by some of your designs). I'm planning to add a background and make the border fancier. It's pretty shit compared to your designs...



What do you think? Any suggestions? It's really annoying that the 'distort' tool makes the text go blurry. Is there any way around that?

Thanks so much again

Checking it out now
Check out your blog right now, I'll leave you some feedback.

Banningk1979 (talk) 03:45, August 4, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks so much
I think the logo size is something to do with your browser width... but that's fixed now.

And wow, you actually took the time to design a whole front! Thank you so much, I can't believe your help! I downloaded most of the fonts you linked (except Sexsmith - it won't load, but what I've got is fine for now).

The letters weren't intentionally smudged. It happened when I used the distort tool to change its shape. But I like the clean design on yours better. I particularly like the almost see-through black and red symbols (though I think you're missing a clover, lol) I'll definitely show my teacher.

As for what I'll do next, I will take some ideas from yours and the fonts you recommended (I obviously won't plagirize your design). If it gets me a good grade, I'll show you my final design.

Thanks for everything Rukus

Logo query
Hi Rukus,

Amy just sent me a friendly notification reminding me that 'Black Cat' is actually an existing franchise. Since I have multiple images of screencaps from the anime lost somewhere in my talk archives, I don't want to seem like I'm ripping off.

Instead, if it's not too much trouble, could you change 'Black Cat' on my logo to just 'The Cat'? I can pretty much guarantee nobody can copyright that. Thanks so much.

On another note, for user reference, I have made a page with all your graphic design tips and the fonts you recommended! There is a link to it on my profile - this is just to help any users who may be interested in graphic design, like me!

You have CAT to be KITTEN me right MEOW.  (^ⓛ ω ⓛ^)  09:15, August 7, 2015 (UTC)

Sounds really good
I read your contest details and it all sounds great. One thing I wanted to ask, and I may have missed it in the details, but are admins able to contribute entries?

Talk soon,

Banningk1979 (talk) 22:57, August 12, 2015 (UTC)

Not yet
Hey,

Before we finalize it, make sure that you hear back from the other admins and b-crat. There is currently the art contest going on, and while that shouldn't interfere with a writing contest, it may clutter the site. I would wait for Empy to bless off before you go live with it.

Banningk1979 (talk) 18:12, August 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * It appears you're wanting us to hold a contest, but want nothing to do with it yourself. If you're not judging the stories or even creating the blog, there's no reason to consider this a valid proposal.  If anyone wants to hold this contest, they'll need to make their own proposal (or at least be part of yours) and will need to be involved with the contest (judging/blog creation/monitoring submissions) for it to be considered.


 * Jay Ten (talk) 14:42, August 15, 2015 (UTC)

Wow, man, you nominated...
...Sons of Odin for PoTM? Thanks so much, bro. Do you like black metal? Yeah, I really liked that story, but there was a 3,500 word limit in the contest so I couldn't take it where I wanted to, but I'm turning it into a novella and I already have the first chapter done. It kind of got put on the back burner for the moment but I'm going to get back to it this winter. I really want to develop the character of the younger brother--so that it's more disturbing when his eye is ripped from his head and he is duct-taped to a tree! He he he he. I also want to explore the relationship between the boys and their mother. Fangs again, bro! HumboldtLycanthrope (talk) 15:14, August 15, 2015 (UTC)

Contest
Now that you've agreed to taking care of the contest, we're going to let it move forward. If you wish to have other judges, you'll need to select them (I would advise choosing users that have a good record of judging quality). As far as the winner being on the front page goes, there are some stipulations: it can't be NSFW, so if you want to accept NSFW pastas, we'll have to take the spotlighting off the table. It will also only be spotlighted if the admins agree it's of high enough quality. Lastly, being that it's only a couple weeks till the end of the month, it will probably have to be spotlighted after September. If you wish to take the spotlighting off the table to avoid the NSFW restriction, that's fine.

When you make the blog, we'll look over it and then add the staff blogs category. That's about it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Jay Ten (talk) 17:38, August 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't want to be a judge, but feel free to ask others. Just keep in mind what I mentioned above.


 * Jay Ten (talk) 17:41, August 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I know what you mean. Do you mean other judges?  If so, I don't want to suggest anyone, as it is your contest, and I'm sure you're aware of the users that would make good judges (just message them and ask).  Admins will be inspecting every story the same way we do every story that is uploaded, so stories that don't meet our quality standards will of course be deleted.  I'm sure you can find another judge, but it's not a requirement to have judges other than yourself.


 * Jay Ten (talk) 17:57, August 15, 2015 (UTC)

Unofficially perhaps
I'll be glad to give you my two cents on some of the stories, but I am not sure if I have the time to commit to being an official judge. If you ask for assistant judges, in your blog, I am quite sure you'll get volunteers. That is how I got help on my contest.

Banningk1979 (talk) 21:17, August 15, 2015 (UTC)

RE:
I'm afraid I've got a few things going on IRL right now that mean I will be unable to be a judge. My apologies.

Review Request
Hello, Ruckus. I'm here to ask for a review/feedback on my new story, In Torment III. I consider this to be the point my writing skills and lore writing skills improved drastically, and I believe it addresses every issue pointed out to me before. If you could find the time to read/review it, I'd appreciate it.

I don't know if you'd care to do such a thing, and I never get angry at a "no". ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 05:28, August 17, 2015 (UTC)

No problem Ruckus :)

Question
About that mystery contest...does a puzzle or twist endind count?

And as I'm very inexperienced with this, can you recommend a good mystery pasta on this site?

And yeah, you've read one of my stories before, but I requested its deletion and it sucked anyway.

If 9 + 10 = 21, then I'm the president of U.S.A. 23:39, August 22, 2015 (UTC)

A Stupid Question
Would you mind if I were to ask you a stupid question about the contest you are hosting?

If thats okay, my question is this. Is it okay for me to put the pasta I'm entering in the Writer's Workshop before I submit it, or is that not allowed?

I think its okay, but I am not totally sure, and just wanted to be certain before I go and make an idiotic mistake.

Thanks!

Contest
Just wanted to remind you that your contest submission period has ended and the stories are ready for judging. If you want the winner to be the spotlighted pasta for October, your judging needs to be done by the end of the month. If you don't think you'll get the judging done by then, be sure to let us know so we can select another story to spotlight. Hope all is well.

Jay Ten (talk) 01:22, September 12, 2015 (UTC)

Have you abandoned your contest? If you can't handle it, I'd take your scoring position. It'd be your responsibility to fulfill the rewards, though of course my own story would be disqualified due to me rating.

To many people put work it to be left behind, and especially without any activity/update. ShawnHowellsCP (talk) 20:40, September 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * I saw your activity a few hours ago, so I hope to hear from you soon. Don't leave me hangin' brah ; )  We need to figure out what's happening with your contest.  Get back to me.


 * Jay Ten (talk) 14:58, September 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * Awesome. Very glad to hear that.  I'll let everyone know you're on top of it.  I look forward to seeing the results.

Banned them for spamming already. If you notice that they continue in a day, please let another admin know as it's spam/roleplaying. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 05:47, October 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Actually a majority of it was matching letters up to their subsequent number. They spelled out "pain", "help me", and a few other messages. (Nothing too interesting, kinda cliche.) EmpyrealInvective (talk) 05:56, October 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Go ahead, just avoid encouraging him. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 06:03, October 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * I've seen your responses on Empyre's page. There was an individual that posted a new code each day that seemed like a random string of numbers and I'm reminded of that now, I can't remember if it took place on the reddit r/fearme or 4chan though. If that's the case and you solve the "code", let me know. It'd be funny if they were trying to promote a creepypasta they were working on instead XD Buckle up  I'm going to be popular  06:08, October 25, 2015 (UTC)
