ATTENTION

The above competition combo is not valid, or recognised part, of this competition. Please do not make an entry at this time.

Please do not make competitions at any time you feel like it. If this continues I will request that moderators close this topic.

I'm sorry, but if you don't want to play by the rules then you are not welcome to enter.

Just wait your turn.

Sharky: I've already given you a fair prize reward for Gingiba's impatiency, stealing your turn. Just wait and you will have fair justice.

Gingiba: Please do not discuss who you have chosen until you are making your final decision. It doesn't make it fair on people who are still in the process of making their entry.

As I said before, if this competition fails to make the fair expectancy of the rules I have provided, it will be closed.

The current competition is the Volvo/Ikea combo. Please stick to that.

However, to even things out, if everybody agrees, I am willing to ignore the Volvo comp (because it was entered out of line), and pick up from the MR2 comp and let Sharkys comp go forward. - All in favour say 'YAAY'?!

This will mean that the Volvo/Ikea entries will not be recognised as a competition and will not be featured as a competition gallery, or in the competition index. If you wish to show your entry, please host it on your own gallery.

Sharky: The next win I have, feel free to post your combo. 👍

If we let the Volvos go ahead, can I run the V8 Brutes when you win another comp?
 
You can't just post a competition out of turn Sharky, please be aware of that in future. As should Gingiba.

I'd honestly prefer to totally cancel out the Volvos, because they should never have been made in the first place.

Gingiba: Please do not make a post about who you have chosen to win for at least 24 hours. I want to hear some feedback from what everyone has decided upon the best course of action. MrHat may have approved you to go forward, but he is in no position to make those decisions. You should have contacted me first.

I will make my decision on the outcome of the Volvo/Ikea comp after the Montreal GP today/tonight/tomorrow (respective of where you are in the world). Please do not be suprised if I decide to make it completly invalid from anything to do with this competition thread, or the gallery.

In all honesty, it should've been my turn anyway.

I understand Gingiba wanted to move the comp along, but a day or two with no comp wouldn't've mattered.

edit: I know what. Let the Volvos run, and when Gingiba wins a comp, my V8 Brutes get to go. That way, the comp will sort itself out.

I don't see why it need to be deleted, it's not like we earn points for a win or something like that. It's all just a bit of fun..

Take a chill pill.
 
Wow wow wow, relax Jamez.

Give it to Sharky then - the combo sounds better than the Volvos, anyways. He can have my run when I win, too.
 
So who's turn is it Jamez, Sharky or Gingiba?
 
guys lets take a deep breath, ok when Sharky won Gingiba said whe was looking after Sharky's account for the next month, which sort of indicated he was away for a long time. I certainly wasn't to know different.

Regarding v8 brutes.this series is never ever going to make it into the game considering v8 super cars is already there. aybe the comps should be limited to sets in game or completed sets waiting for addition.
 
Sharky told me this exactly - he'll be away for about a month (which is more than I first thought it would be), so I didn't figure he'll drop by, either...
 
UPDATE

Volvo's are dropped - Sorry to all who spent time on these cars.

Sharky's utes go forward.

I'm sorry if this sounds all to serious, but if I let this get all mixed up and participants owing others a turn the whole competition will suffer from people complaining about events that never should've happened.

Just keep to the rules. If the declared winner doesn't show up for 48hrs, they will be PM'ed. If they still don't show for another 48hrs I will decide the outcome. (More than likely a runner-up, chosen by the current competition host.)

MrHat: I wasn't trying to attack you. I was just letting Gingiba know that if there is a problem, he should consult me first.
 
Final Entry

IMO this was also a task that will lead to very little possibilities for variaton as there is obviously leading to a NZ theme with all the NZ beers

Same here. I figured Sharky wasn't going to set a comp and Gingiba would in his place. Honestly, I dunno if I really want to do a V8 Brute entry for this comp which is supposedly just for some fun is turning into a farce and taken far too seriously.

Sorry, but I'm going to disagree with just dropping them. A winner should be decided, even if it doesn't mean anything, out of the respect for those who took the time to compete.

Sorry. But it was an event that wasn't supposed to happen. So no realistic outcome will be made. If you really care so much you are more than welcome to make yourself a gallery and host your livery labeled: The comp that never happened - that I apparently won. :rolleyes: I don't think anyone really cares, just move on a deal with it.

If people are going to make up their own rules, or ideas of what rules should be made, you are all more than welcome to make your own competition thread. I'm retiring from BATracer forever very very soon, so none of this matters to me anymore.

MrHat: Please delete the GTWS thread, unless someone else is interested in completing it, because I'm not. Sorry.
 
For the record, regarding the Volvos:

It was pretty much a tie between Omnis and MrHat, and between Danny and Jef. I really liked Matt's idea of the wrench-like thingies, while Marc's design was better organized. I reckon I'd've picked one of these two, if it had finished.
 
OK so I think we've gone off track with this competition, theres been really silly arguments occuring when this is just for fun, and with Jamez threatening to quit both BATracer AND give up organising this competition, a section for Livery Competitions ONLY has been created at the BATracer Workshop. The link below will take you to the main forum page. Register and Livery Competitons has its own section at the bottom of the forum.

If we take the competition to the Workshop I'll be moderating (organising, etc etc) it, as well as taking part.

That's not the point. You also don't have to be such a dick with me or anyone else. We're only doing this to have fun and to share opinions, visions, and comments about eachother's works. To just throw away the Volvos and not pay attention to the work involved in each livery is a slap in the face to each artist.

That said, I think that's been achieved by dragging this out a little bit, so I'm squashing the issue on my end. These "competitions" are not about winning, they're about sharing art. I just wanted to make the statement that making artists suffer consequences brought by poor management is a great injustice.

Thanks Jef 👍

I'll request that this thread be closed and/or deleted by the mods.

Omnis: No offence mate, but you just show up out of the blue, enter a car that violates 3 (non-official, yet obvious) rules, and then think that your word means something to how I run this competition? Get real.

Umm... He did that on his first entry - which are things he did because he didn't know they're not allowed.His second entry was perfectly legal and in accordance to those 'guidelines'. A now very well-respected member, Matt, had the same problem of not-completely-submitting according to the rules. And yes, as someone who submitted a legal entry, Omnis has every right to say he's unsatisfied because his (remarkably good) entry didn't get judged.
 
THE COMPETITION WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!

When will you understand and accept that you weren't supposed to post in place of Sharky without giving him time to make his own response, or without consulting me first.

The Volvo's should have never happened. Plain and simple. Judge it if you wish, but this thread will be closed very soon, so it doesn't count.
 
You never earned the right to judge an entry. So why should I give you the pleasure of judging something that was never a part of this competition?
 
The right wasn't really yours to give Jamez...
 
Yeah last time I knew, we were all equals in this, you set the guidelines but then we ALL had to stick to them.

We should have voted on the Volvo incident, at the very least.
 
I've just read through the last few pages, and I have absolutely no idea what all the fuss is about.

Gingiba done what he thought was right by posting up a new template, and it turned out to be a mistake. People do that, right? There is no reason at all to shut down this thread because of that, or to even make that competition irrelevant.

Forgive and forget, and move on. It's just a fun competition.
 
Thread closed at owner's request. Livery competition has moved the BATRacer workshops.
