No your not, they announced the winner in your debate Agarta

Thanks so far for the suggestions, and everyone of course trying to help out it is sooooo appreciated!!

First Ill say a bit about what I would like.

Lets start with Im a women

Now the no regrets ever thing can go in any direction, but something along the lines of something not to serious, but the "noregretsever" theme must remain. Also something with an ATS logo would be nice. I love roses, space, and the possibility of other dimensions.

I know thats a bit out there, and a bit scattered, but thats all I can think about right now,

If I think of anything else I will post it....

Again many, many thanks!!

Peace, NRE.

Wonderful! Thank you for coming back with some ideas

Now that you've given the artists a starting point, sit back and watch the creative magic. This thread has some of the most talented people it has ever been my privilege to watch work.

Maybe we could put together a "contest" of sorts. We can start small and general and see what it builds into!

Here's what I have in mind for now. For this week, until say... oh, Saturday at noon EDT (Eastern Daylight Time-US), we'll have competitors make an avatar/background size graphic of their choosing with a particular theme. The person who has the most stars by Saturday at noon will be declared the winner for that week.

This could possibly turn into something with actual ATS "rewards" if all goes well. We'll do everything right here on this thread for now, but if it turns into something "big", maybe they'll let us open a dedicated thread for each week or something for the "result images". This is a "build as we go" type of excursion.

The topic for this week (I get to choose

) is:
UFOs
The hypothetical situation is: a member who is a UFO enthusiast asks for an avatar that represents him as someone who is searching for proof of UFOs. He says he has had an abduction experience but can't remember details of it and feels a "connection" to them. He spends a great deal of time searching the night sky hoping to sight another one after his experience but has not been successful. He wants it to show "hope" for alien contact and believes them to be inheritantly good and sent her to help us.

You can make any avatar you want (within T&C guidelines) that has to do with UFOs. In order to ensure we get the entries recognized as opposed to just the collaboration and testing the waters, when you have finalized your entry, post this banner above the pic you are submitting: (use the headline feature in brackets)

UFO ENTRY

I know there are a million things to think of and learn as we go and maybe on Saturday morning, I'll try to make a post with all the "entry" photos to ensure I don't miss in while counting the stars. If it becomes an actual contest, hopefully we'll go with the flag system of some sort later on or at least a repository thread or something with a great Mod who seems interested and can close the entry thread at the appropriate time so we can count the stars!

This could work! We can also work out any kinks as we go before we make it an ATS-wide contest and figure out what format we want to use and all that stuff!! (pending permission of course!)

With the great communication going on here, perhaps make several "rough drafts" and ask opinions as you go before a final entry. Let's limit it to say ... three entries per person for the final copies and have them up by Thursday at Midnight EDT for voting purposes. (stars for now)

Be sure to put each "official entry" in a separate post so we can count the stars for that entry alone.

Just wanted to remind everyone of the "Graphic Arts Talent Show"!! Voting will run till noon on Saturday for anyone wanting in on it.
I just spoke with TPTB and it has to stay here in BTS, no campaigning like we did for the Regent Election with all the banners and wild stuff we did (that was really fun!!! ). Just low-key and enjoyable

Also was asked to post this link for T&C. If anyone has an entry removed for T&C, they will be disqualified and have to clean out the chiten coup! (In the words of my mod-buddy )
Okie Dokie, that bout sums it up!
T & C Stuff

*presently negotiating for a separate thread for entries...we'll see how that goes!

Thank you, It was both mine and my opponents first go at it, It was a lot of fun. We both learned some things while at it too. Next time I wont be as passive though lol.

You're just an easy-goin guy

By the way I was meaning to ask everyone what you think of my new look. It is the "ATS Home" page, lol.

reply to post by Agarta


Very creative!!!

Or use ctrl-z. It's like a windows code for undo. Not sure if it'd work in here, but lesson learned, always use notepad or word when doing major works, then copy and paste. I did it in my last debate, luckily the Vagabond allowed me to re-post, so I didn't have half a rebuttal...

reply to post by NoRegretsEver


I have a few ideas to work with. What do you think of these before I start trying to get creative? ...other folks, feel free to use them too!!

Since she said:

What about this one with "Deny Ignorance" or "No Regrets" around the diameter of the ring. Don't know where an ATS logo would go though.

I liked the cat idea and did this real quick:

reply to post by NoRegretsEver


are you a fan of Imajica by Clive Barker? I love how he describes the rose when going between dimensions.... I have always wanted a pic somehow of how I picture his words....

if this is kind of your vision tell me and I will see what we can do
