I always thought it was the z sound too. However I could make like a snake and practice my sssssssssssss sound Nah..I like the z sound better

I'm not really sure.

I guess its more of a z sound than an s.

chizzler might give a better indication of the sound.

It has an s sound but probably dominated by the z'ness.

Ok, cool, I was pronouncing it correct than.

Iori, that's an I, not an L.

(blink)

Wow... Don't mind me (tap tap tap) I'm just passing through (tap tap tap), blind as a bat (tap tap).

Seriously, the whole time I've known you I read your name as "Lori" rather than "Iori"... So it's actually been "Iori Kornel" the entire time...

I'm such a Dee sometimes.

This is like that episode of the Simpsons, where Marge tries to order coffee from the Australian.

"I'll have coffee."
"Beer?"
"Caw-Fee."
"Bee-yuh?"
"C-O-F..."
"B-E-E..."

So it's not L O R I ___K O R N E L ?

I need to start getting more sleep.

Staff of course can't win the contest, but here is a mini-profile background image:

Because its a background image it will repeat. The text is the mayflower compact, the native is if i recall an algonquin, which is the larger grouping that the tribes that the pilgrims came across belonged to , the european man is a pilgrim, someone in particular I think but I don't recall the name. The ship is a model of the Mayflower.

Here is an avatar that is the mayflower passenger list:

And here is my avatar from last thanksgiving

(i used it to make the background image too)
They are from my avatars and images thread:

Ahh, I'm in splits. Too funny.

Lori Kornel.

I'll submit this one. Only text I know, but what the hey.

Even though I ca'nt participate, I thought I'd share my
Thanksgiving avatar (which I made myself) with
everyone.

files.abovetopsecret.com...

hahah there is my vision/submission.

I wish that if I won I could donate the points to semper, the creator of the avatar, but it would be a conflict of interests since he is the judge. In saying that, all I can do is say "THANK YOU SEMPERFORTIS!!!!!!" and good day to you.

Grim is in school and can not post this there so I am posting it for him..

This is Grimreaper797 Entry

Just in case I made my entry myself. Just a little time planing and a few hours editing on the computer program bryce 3d. It is probably not my best but i like it.

It looks good spinstopsphere. I have been using Bryce since version 4 and now am using version 6. It is not the cost of your tools that counts, but what you can do with them. Don't let anyone with high end software put you down for Brycing.

I like all the avatars that people are coming up with here. They certainly run the gamut from serious to silly. Although I am partial right now to Grimreaper797's because it has aliens and the Thanksgiving theme covered. Semperfortis's is mighty memorable too.

No, writers can participate.

I'm one of the contest organizers, so for me to participate
would be biased.

No, Lori (okay I mean iori) is running this contest, thats the only reason why. He actually won the Halloween contest

How many judges do we have besides Lori?

Iori, Semper & I have participated in the organizing of the competition. We've got other members to do some judging for us. Total of 5 judges to be exact.

They will use the same format as the Halloween contest. Each judge will pick their 3 favorite avatars.

A first place vote rewards 20 points.
A second place vote rewards 10 points.
A third place vote rewards 5 points.

Each judge will submit their decisions and we will tally the points.
