@GiantCowFilms What do you think?

Q: The Cult of Noob Challenge #1

@someonewithpc Can't jump the gun like that, we need to plan these first.

These show up in all moderators inboxes.

@someonewithpc LOL

@iKlsR Awww :(

@someonewithpc Some critiques: first, what is the criteria to win? highest voted submission...? Other...? also you need to set a deadline, on which you will mark the submission that meets the criteria to win as accepted, like the do on code golf.

someonewithpc

i was thinking like the highest voted answer

and no paRTICULAR DEADLINE

iKlsR

Yes, we need to decide all of that, how w will vote etc. Can't just create a random post with no context.

@someonewithpc We have to have a deadline, a week seems ok to me.

A contest every week.

someonewithpc

Only 1 a week?

I guess that works...

GiantCowFilms

@iKlsR It would be nice if we could have some longer running ones, in the order of a month+ to give an opportunity to create really stellar artwork

someonewithpc

Would that be for the entire site, or just per person?

@GiantCowFilms Yeah, that seams cool...

But Code Golf doesn't have a deadline, does it?

GiantCowFilms

15:49

Also, it might be worthwhile to require the .blend files, since sadly some people do cheat :\

@someonewithpc To win yes....

There are some exceptions, like contests where the shortest code to do somthing wins, since it is entirely objective and very easy to update.

someonewithpc

Well, that's the point of voting

GiantCowFilms

With art judging is much more subjective.

someonewithpc

Fair

GiantCowFilms

@someonewithpc In that case it is to show the appreciation for cool solutions.

Also what if somebody came 6 months latter with a really cool artwork, the winners would have to announced again, and they would be sad and fell cheated.

someonewithpc

That's why I think there shouldn't be deadlines

Just voting

GiantCowFilms

15:53

How come?

There would be no closure.

No I did it moment.

someonewithpc

Yeah... Maybe that wouldn't work though

iKlsR

This is a cool concept for default cubism.

Title: Where all the broken cubes go

GiantCowFilms

Oh, by the way, does anyone still want to use my chatapp, if no one has any interest in it, I can take it down and save myself the expense of hosting.

@iKlsR Poor cubes....

The pity is there is no reputation on meta.... No marking of a winner.... But I guess that's not the point, but still :(.

MarcClintDion

There are some problems with contests because some people will abide by the "Only new work allowed" idea and some will use models that were already made when the contest began. Short weekend contests are biased towards people who are using ready made assets. Then if you include render times, well that's half the weekend right there if the scene does not have a day or two of optimization work put into it.

GiantCowFilms

@MarcClintDion No, it is biased to folks who have expensive computers.

@MarcClintDion Firstly, we can specify all new work.

MarcClintDion

16:02

I think it's safe to say that we are all students of Blender so maybe this could be setup in a similar way like semesters with check-points along the way.

@GiantCowFilms that too!

GiantCowFilms

@MarcClintDion Check points are a great Idea, so the .blend has to be submitted, then any amount of time it takes to render can be used.

GiantCowFilms

16:19

I have a proposal for the first competition:

I didn't post it since I think @iKlsR will want to read it first.

GiantCowFilms

16:37

It just occurred to me to @someonewithpc already had an idea (and a funny one at that)... lets go with that one, you can use my post as a template (which is why I made it).

someonewithpc

Only Hi Guys

CharlesL

Alright... who used a quote

someonewithpc

but sound works

GiantCowFilms

@someonewithpc The culprit: <script>$("body").text('Hi, Guys');</script>

someonewithpc

22:06

Srl?

It tries to interpret Javascript?

CharlesL

@gandalf3 what are your thoughts on systemd?

someonewithpc

That's dangerous

gandalf3

@CharlesL idk

What about it?

CharlesL

eh... i can't freaking stand it

gandalf3

CharlesL

22:08

i don't like how it takes control of so much of the system

and it's monolithic and difficult to configure

I prefer a bash script :P

Vader

sounds like that ding in airplanes

Q: placing .gifs in text

I have read how to post gifs on this site, but I can't get that to work for me. I tried using Gfycat and everytime I try and upload the images I get an error saying This isn't an animated gif, so I am wondering. How do you all out there record and save them? As I recorded it, used Premiere Pro to...
