Personally (before things get out of hand), I think that South Park characters in cosplay should be left out.duotrouble wrote:Well, things are calming down some on the nomination front as we enter the second week. Those of you who played the other games know what that means. Yes, selling is opening up. First though, a few rules about selling/promoting your characters.
1. Keep your images sized down. Please remember not everyone has a huge computer monitor and some still have to suffer with dialup connections. So keep your images 900pixels or less width-wise. (I just picked a random number. My sig is 300pixels width-wise so I figured 600 more should be big enough to make your image seen. )
2. All videos need to be some sort of link that requires you to click a play button for the video to start. Everyone did this naturally in the other games so this shouldn't be a problem. I have to point it out though because my home computer can't handle multiple tasks at one time. So if I'm going to stream video, I have to close other programs first.
3. Since videogame character images might be harder for some to find images, it's perfectly fine for all kinds of images of these characters. In other words, images of their action figures, box shot of the videogame itself, a music video that mainly centers around that character are all perfectly fine.
4. NO sparklies! NO commentaries or added word bubbles! This could change in later rounds but it is NOT allowed for this round.
If there are any questions regarding selling/promoting your characters, please feel free to ask. I didn't go into specifics in the other games and I received comments good and bad from many people. So I decided on placing some guidelines for all. I think selling is the best part of the game as that's where I get to learn about characters I might only know by name.

ANNOUNCEMENTS!
I was planning on having an update tonight but I have a few announcements. I plan on making the update tomorrow night.
1. Zetsuai - Welcome to the game! Are you voting or selling Link? I'm assuming you're voting but I'm not sure. Could you please let me know so he gets counted correctly? Thanks! I tend to skip over images when I'm counting votes because I automatically think someone's selling. BUT with big bold letters saying VOTING before the images, I stop and see that and count the votes. I'm weird. I know.
2. miz ducky - While I appreciate what it is you're trying to do, I'm not sure everyone here understands your intentions. In the future, could you please pm me with your concerns or just ask if I think "whatever" is okay in the thread? Thanks! I'm trying to keep the thread fun and light for everyone. It's everyone's thread but remember I am the one running it.
3. kathpatty - I actually chuckled when I saw your South Park image of Squall. I think it's quite adorable. However, I think in the future we should have all images be of the characters themselves and not parodies of them. I'm being very lenient on the images but I believe you found the line. No need to take it down though. Just regular images from here on out. Thanks! I've been enjoying your descriptions of him too as I only know him through Kingdom Hearts. I've never played a Final Fantasy game. (I don't count the 2 hours I spent on FFX or Crisis Core. One day, I'll finish both.)
4. Everyone - Thank you for doing a great job playing along! Let's keep it up! It's been so much fun to watch the trades and see the selling. Let's sell some more. I really want to hear more about the characters. Why do you like them so much? Did you actually get to play as them or were they partners you met up with? What platforms can their games be found on? I have several different systems. I want to know if I can run out and buy the game now that you've hyped me up on it or will I have to go get yet another system before I can experience what you did?
5. GOOD LUCK! AND HAVE FUN!
