~~Winbolo Pic Contest 2!~~

May 03, 2005 04:01 ~~Winbolo Pic Contest 2!~~
Here's the deal, I'm making a winbolo Pic contest. All pics can be uploaded to Imageshack - Free Image Hosting.

Basically, you can submit ANY pics you want, as long as they're winbolo/bolo related. THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE OF ACTUAL GAMEPLAY! THEY CAN BE MODIFIED OR TAKEN STRAIGHT FROM A GAME! EDIT: You can also post animations if you like. :shock: :D

Judging will be done by me, as follows:

Drawing: /5

Originality: /5

Humor: /10

Bribes: /5 (I'm joking)

Total: /20

Here are a few examples of quick things I drew. (Don't be afraid if your drawings suck, mine suck more, despite the fact that they might be a little bit funny)

Pilltake: http://img136.echo.cx/my.php?image=bolopilltake5jm.png

Assassin LGM: http://img173.echo.cx/my.php?image=boloassasslgm8zg.png

LGM Emotions: http://img173.echo.cx/my.php?image=bololgmmoods2qf.png

Mystery Origin: http://img173.echo.cx/my.php?image=bolomysteryorigin7wq.png

Bolo Misc. : http://img173.echo.cx/my.php?image=bolonotes1co.png



Contest deadline is May 25th. HAVE FUN! (Post links to your entries/animations here). :wink:

Would be helpful if I could get this on the front page. Thanks!

Ps: I think that if we can prove we can make some good/funny art, that avatars and pics in sigs should be allowed.

Bonus contest: A 500-1200 word essay pertaining to any theory on why Q uses drugs.
May 03, 2005 18:50
What would we win? A $100 gift cert to Home Depot would be nice!

The prize is.. you win. (The prize is that if the pics are good enough we can lobby for avatars on the grounds that they don't suck) Thanks for the helpful encouragement guys. Maybe this community is just too small. Did anyone like my art? :( :?

SJ and others I know have made funny ass art, if they would just post it here... *Starts a flame war in hopes that they will use visual representations.*

If you guys need ideas:

An LGM on steroids

How much newbs suck (A video detailing their numerous idiotic performances)

What we should do to CT3 (And how Ren won't like it)

What it's like inside a pillbox (this could be very funny, have it all serious at the begginning, saying that the pillbox is the forgotten soldier, the one who holds the game together, always ready, blah blah blah) And then... It would zoom in to inside the pillbox, where it's NONSTOP PARTY! And an occassional person fires some bullets.

LGM Fight! Could be uber sweet if it had some neat music and good action.

The amazing life of a mine! (Boom) The amazing life of a tree (Gets farmed) The amazing life of an LGM (Augh they got me) (The amazing life of you) A lot of stuff happens, and your tank doesn't die. (THE AMAZING LIFE OF YOU WHEN I'M PLAYING) And them show a tank getting the crap blown out of it. (Would be funny and simple)

The "characters" in winbolo (newb, lagger, phsyco, pro, dumbass, etc.) like in the flash movie "de_aztec" for counterstrike, just fitted to winbolo.

Umm what else... an lgm dancing? YA!

Some idiots trying to get those annoying bases in deep sea that are ungettable, over and over again, with pole vaults and dumb stuff like that, then at the end finding a "secret" about it or something. (Make it funny)

The possibilities are endless... just think about winbolo..... and make fun of it! HAVE FUN! C'mon..

I already had this conversation back in '96.

The pillboxes are manned by lgm. Lgm used to live alone and wild in the forest. They now tend, build and man the pillboxes. The pillboxes are made entirely of wood except for the indestructible metal guns which you see are all that's left when you kill a pill. Lgm can lift over thirty times their own weight, (much like ants) so carrying heavy guns is no problem. Lgm are conscripts in the war of bolo/winbolo. They were and are forced by Stuart Cheshire to become the labor force of battle tanks. Cheshire found the elusive Lgm people a long time ago and shipped some of them to breeding colonies outside the game grid. He recognized immediately the potential of these quiet people as a wartime slave-labor force. They have the ability to erect structures and log forests at a truly phenominal rate. Due to their naturally quick breeding cycles, he was able to amass thousands of them at a low cost to himself (they eat trees, too - hence the green color of an lgm) and provide the minimal training needed to serve on the battlefield. However, some acceleration of the breeding cycle was still necessary to offset the high mortality rate brought on by newer players, and so Cheshire needed to do some DNA-alteration and cloning to achieve the desired result. However, a side effect of that mutagenic process resulted in abnormal cranial development and the resulting stupidity Lgm are infamous for. Also, Cheshire saw the need to refine lgm skill so that they could serve as bridgebuilders, boatmakers, and wall-erecters. He was able to code these skills into their DNA so that each lgm would be born with the necessary skills and blind loyalty necessary to serve. Each lgm is parachuted in as needed, ready to obey.

'Ooh, they got me' is an artifact of the ancient Lgm people. Cheshire noticed that the wild Lgm would say this phrase when they were dying; a sort of native 'death song'. So as to facilitate awareness of an lgm loss to its owner and also to the enemy, the chant was left intact throughout the mutagenic procedures. A side effect of this particular phrase is humor, which adds to the appeal of this game.

Have the Lgm people suffered as a result of bolo/winbolo? They have lost their right to self-determination, their culture and and any semblance of freedom. They suffer and die daily. However, they also survive. They exist today in numbers many hundreds of times larger than at any point in their past. They serve to entertain the users (us) in ways we (as the Master Race) must never forget to appreciate, for their sacrifice adds to our enrichment. You decide.

Uh... draw a picture of it. :P

I know... RENEGADE LGM! He shoots tanks! Yay... Cmon people, it doesn;t help if you go off topic, I'm trying to make something happen here. The last contest I made had way better response than this, and it sucked. :(
May 04, 2005 05:31
I'm not sure how long that was, Acro, but I'm sure that had almost nothing to do with why Q does drugs.
May 04, 2005 05:39


That's all I've got so far.

The publisher made a typo and dind't notace it until after publashing.
May 04, 2005 06:00
Q : good idea :)

Acro : very funny !

jhood : funny too !

Then, let's draw some funny pictures about WinBolo :D
May 04, 2005 21:26
Looks like so far jhood has first place. You don't want to be beaten by jhood, do you guys?
May 07, 2005 03:00

There's my entry! Ever wonder how a pillbox can shoot so much? There you have it! a Two-Man LGM team! The color of the sky in winbolo world is yet to be decided, isn't it? That's why it's white... that or it's cloudy.

It's a joke... you make joke too? I make funny joke. it is not an entry into my picture contest, it's a message. I think the message is clear: SHUT THE HELL UP.

You racoon jhood's is the best. There are... let's see... TWO ENTRIES. Large variety there.

Back on topic... picture posting. Post your winbolo pics. Be they modified or not.
May 12, 2005 09:30
no need to yell at me
i was bearing in mind your links aswell
May 26, 2005 00:41
Well, it's the 25th, and uh... this sux. Oh well, guess this community is just too small to do anything like this.

And the winner is... JHOOD!

2nd Place (And last place, however you want to put it) Goes to Jason #8!

Judging as follows:

Jhood:

Drawing: 3/5 (Eh, not much drawing involved)
Originality: 4/5 (Someone has probably done something like this before, but not for winbolo)
Humor: 8/10 (Good idea, quite funny, could have milked it more though)
Total: 15/20

Jason#8:

Drawing: 2/5 (Oh my)
Originality: 5/5 (Never been done before, I don't believe, then again not much has in the way of winbolo art, so I'm forced to give you a perfect five, the originality criteria probably wasn't such a good idea, I just didn't want people copying each other)
Humor: 6/10 (Somewhat interesting, but...)
Total: 13/20

Well, how about that, now you can tell your grandkids (if you ever have any) that you won first or second in a contest! (For crying out loud someone coulda submitted a mouldy turd and got third by calling it an LGM poop) And to all you who didn't participate... BLEHHHHHHHH! :D :shock: :roll: :wink:
