PMs are allowed dude. I've received two, but haven't sent any in return. I do, however, agree that Wes's piece for round 5 didn't meet the criteria so he should have been appropriately penalized. (Zukira stated that the maximum size was half the face) As an artist, you're obligated to read the requirements. Overall, the GGT's rules MUST be clearer in the future. Things like:
-Are PMs allowed?
-Can we edit our votes?
-What is considered a "troll" vote?
-Will original stocks be required?
MUST be included. This will prevent all the disarray that has turned this from a friendly competition to flame. Also, not to pressure Zukira in any way, but we should pick a more forum-active host next competition. They have to be around to settle disputes like this with fast replies/rules. No offense Zukira.
I agree with Gblade and no offense to Zukira, she has done an excellent job upto this point.
As a more or less retired person (unemployed +3 yrs now) I spend more time on the internet than I should. I would like to volunteer for GBlade's idea for a new GGT Host.
I would not compete, but I would seek advice/counseling from fellow artists and set up a precise set of rules for everyone to follow.
I would also be willing to co-chair another event .... I'm open to ideas / criticizium
edit: how about a 3 person committee ? Assassin, LP & Myself ?
