Congrats!

Damn damn and damn again!

breadhead

10-18-2007, 12:28 PM

Argh, so close. Well done Darklord, and everyone else!

Ritual

10-18-2007, 12:28 PM

LavronYor 41 vs. Althai 38
Shouldn't it be LavronYor in red with his 41 instead of Althai with 38?

EricJ

10-18-2007, 12:30 PM

this one confuses me:

[SIZE=3]LavronYor 41 vs. Althai 38

congrats to all the winners!

Darklord

10-18-2007, 12:31 PM

woo hoo. glad to get through that, well played breadhead. i think we were the second highest scoring partnership!! congrats to everyone else, particuarly demonherald for a cracking score

demonherald

10-18-2007, 12:34 PM

woo hoo. glad to get through that, well played breadhead. i think we were the second highest scoring partnership!! congrats to everyone else, particuarly demonherald for a cracking score

Wow shocker.........it's a shame me and Paintminion were heads up here...two highest scores in one pairing shit that's Iron........well at least we didn't dissappoint Vike did call it as a good match up.....

supervike

10-18-2007, 12:35 PM

Shouldn't it be LavronYor in red with his 41 instead of Althai with 38?

If I don't mess with Larvaronyor in some capacity, I think he feels left out....LOL

fixed!!!

EricJ

10-18-2007, 12:38 PM

wow, that demonherald/paintminion matchup was brutal, 2 of my favorites in 1 battle, in fact paintminion was the 2nd highest result in the whole round, but sadly won't go on. I hope we can see a revenge of paintminion next time though!

Frustrated Father

10-18-2007, 12:39 PM

There is always the 'gimme another chance' if I recall for down the road.

Darklord

10-18-2007, 12:40 PM

well im glad in way demonherald, one more bighitter out of the way!!

stubbdog

10-18-2007, 12:56 PM

Thank you all for a great first round... my first dive into the iron..

A ton of great pieces there.

Looking forward to the chance to try and step it up and push myself harder the next round.

Sculpta the squig

10-18-2007, 12:59 PM

So, can I activate a "give me another chance" because me and skirvanek were only 2.5 points apart?

Squig

Duende

10-18-2007, 12:59 PM

Twenty six of you have got what it takes to advance!!

Yep, an opponent who DNF's. I advance! :thumb:

skrivanek

10-18-2007, 01:00 PM

Congrats all - Sculpta, maybe next time you'll pull the extra 3 (or I'll drop them) points.

Time for the next round!

demonherald

10-18-2007, 01:00 PM

And a Brit progresses............oh and to really stir it up 1 female less......hopefully a gimme a second chance comes into play for Paintminion more than deserves it my favourite piece of the lot was hers...

10-18-2007, 01:09 PM

The "give me another chance" ruling only goes into effect when we are past round one, and have an ODD number of contestants left.

The person who gets that is determined by the 'highest non winning score'. Paintminion would have won it, but since we have an EVEN 26 advancers, she does not.

callumrice

10-18-2007, 01:09 PM

Mines was beezlebrushes, my opponents too. I thought it would score higher than it did.

Sculpta the squig

10-18-2007, 01:17 PM

YoungWolf7

10-18-2007, 01:20 PM

Wow. Third highest overall. That's a shocker to me. :O

Ritual

10-18-2007, 01:23 PM

Then perhaps that should be stated more clearly in the rules thread.

Squig
That has been the rule since the beginning. The ONLY reason for having that rule is to get an even number of entrants for the next round.

skrivanek

10-18-2007, 01:26 PM

Another quick thanks to SuperVike and the judges - now the hordes are a bit less so hopefully your job will get a bit easier.

Is the next theme going to be posted tomorrow or sometime over the weekend?

Aaron

10-18-2007, 01:28 PM

Wow the highest scorers, and the lowest scorers got paired up together. What are the odds?

It was a fun round. And it is interesting examining the scores and seeing what the judges seem to like.

stubbdog

10-18-2007, 01:32 PM

Man, now you got me all anxed up. You sure we have to wait all the way til tomorrow to get the next theme? As my 5 year old son would say, "Thats like .... like...... LOTS AND LOTS OF MINUTES from now...!"

Bexley

10-18-2007, 01:39 PM

Like, a hunnerd minutes, at least!!

Thryth

10-18-2007, 01:39 PM

I just wanted to thank the judges for taking the time to, well, judge! :)

...and to thank the Chairman for pulling the whole thing together and running it.

Bexley

10-18-2007, 01:41 PM

Kiss-ass. ;P

r2-j1

10-18-2007, 01:42 PM

I don't want to rub it in, on poor Malebolgia, but his losing is good for us all.

For Hoff hath gone away once again. :lol:

Uberdark

10-18-2007, 01:45 PM

good go at it dresch....now i will trounce the competition soundly into the ground. just for the love of god dont put me against demonherald.

meep.

Frustrated Father

10-18-2007, 02:02 PM

As I've been asked privately, yes, I will make time to comment on all the entries here within the next few days. I try to every time, just it gets a bit difficult with a bus load of ya'll and doing Wyrd stuff as well.

Congrats again.

supervike

10-18-2007, 02:37 PM

Then perhaps that should be stated more clearly in the rules thread.

Squig

Thank you for your input.

I have added an addendeum to the rules to make it clearer.

Also, I will direct your attention to These three parts of the rules:

Final notes/thoughts:

This activities main goal is just to have fun and build community spirit. Hopefully, there are no bumps in the road, but that may be too wishful thinking. If problems do arise, we will deal with it as fairly and honestly as possible.

We can tweak the rules as we proceed, if needed.

WYRD is graciously allowing us to host our fun here, providing judging, and even some great prizes, but ultimately this is my doing. If problems do arise and bad feelings need to be directed, make sure they are pointed at me, and not to the site.

I think I have administered the rules as fairly as I was able to. Again, let me reiterate...IF PROBLEMS ARISE, THEY ARE TO BE POINTED AT ME, AND NOT THE SITE.
Feel free to e-mail or PM me directly for this. My e-mail is supervike@yahoo.com

Thank you.

10-18-2007, 02:42 PM

yeah well done judges and Vike ..to take the time it does to do these things voluntarily is awesome..
@Uber don't worry next round should be fun I cracked a bone in my wrist when my brother dropped a sofa on it yesterday.You know when your carrying a sofa between two people and one says lift the other says psh and when a finger get's trapped the wufter at the top end just let's go without any disregard for his poor brother on the bottom end....just trying to get comfortable painting now and high as a kite on painkillers.....

10-18-2007, 02:50 PM

Hmm, I get the feeling there is a little "behind the scenes" goings on with vikes post. Im not going to throw my spoon into it though, let sleeping dogs lie and all.

Well, I had great fun! Another first round knock out but hey, whats new. Im eagerly awaiting the judges scores though, to see what I can attmept to improve on.

Just to reply to some of the PM's and other requests for feedback. I will try my best to comment on as many as I can in the next few days, what I was looking for, why I scored one way or another, etc... Always good to make this a learning process!

As for theme, as a general rule of thumb my Theme scoring was:

snowy/icey/winter themed base - 3 points
particularly well done base +.5
appropriately themed mini choice +.5
winter color palate in painting +.5
created a complete winter "ambiance", where I could almost feel the cold +.5
Creative, interesting, or humorous use of the theme +.5
No winter colors used at all -.5
sloppy/poorly/quickly done winter base -.5
particularly non-wintery mini choice -.5

there were some other factors as well, like my mood at the time ;) (just kidding!)

Thanks Stahler and again well met, I liked your piece a lot. And on I go to push myself with even shorter time as I am leaving on vacation before this round will officially end, but I'm up to it... I think...

callumrice

10-18-2007, 03:16 PM

Great breakdown of your theme scoring eric. Cool.

Darklord

10-18-2007, 03:21 PM

so a maximum of 5.5 on theme then eric!!!
interesting to know that (now if i can have how you will score the next one please!!)

Wren

10-18-2007, 03:25 PM

Wow, interesting results as always! There are a number of people I'm surprised will not be progressing to another round, but that's part of the unique challenge of IP. While part of me is disappointed I won't see what other wonders they'll come up with, another part of me is relieved... ;->

To my opponent Hiliter I'd like to say well-fought/painted!

Thanks everyone who's commented. I think the comments and the votes I've received quite rightly point out that my entry isn't a showcase of masterful paint techniques. Partly that was time, partly it was concept. I'm reasonably happy with my progress in painting, but lately I have been very dissatisfied with my base work, so I did really focus the bulk of the attention on setting a scene more than painting, and I'm very happy to see that a lot of people seem to like it.

In the event anyone wants to try my technique for the ice, I would suggest doing a few things I didn't. I'm suggesting this based on the horrible shrunkeness that has occurred just since last weekend. I think the idea would still work, but if I do it again I'd mix a large batch of Future + ink/paint and keep it in a container. I'd wait until all base elements were thoroughly dry/set before applying any Future. I'd give each layer of Future several days or longer to set, and then when I thought it hit the proper level and was done shrinking and fully set I'd wait maybe even a couple of weeks before starting to mess with the surface. I think all the brushing on of sealer and what-have-you before it was set somehow deflated everything.

if I may kindly ask the almighty incorruptible Judges, the Asgardian Ritual, the Divine Californian and foremost the Father from the Lush Hills of the Georgian Woodstock, when will we, mere mortals, learn the new theme and the new pair-up?

(for all the other suckers, I just got +15 on the next voting. watch me and learn)

Can I just add my thanks to the judges. A bit disappointing to get through on a DNF but then I may not have got through at all. Looking forward to the next round. Well done to all the others who got through, but don't get too comfortable, I havn't shown my best yet. :D

@Morf
I think you need to adress the Enigmatic Jester known as Supervike for that!

Yes, I didn't mention his name since he is the Invisible Breeze of the Infinite Wisdom that binds the Trinity of the Judges.

So please, speak up, I summon You!

Well Im pretty damned happy at the moment that I get to go on to round two.. I look forward to my next Victem! Its going to be a tough one though looking at who some of the winners are.

Sorry to see Paintminion not advance..her piece rocked but I guess thats the way the ball bounces.

Congrats to all.. Hash feel free to PM me about my Prize ;)

Well, I guess I have established myself as the underdog. I thought I could woo the judges with a naked chick on a moose. I guess my next opponent is just going to have to ask themself, "is this guy hustling?" And to answer that, my wife would say, "Nah, he's too stupid to try to pull something off like that!"

Let's all just remember as I drive off to the post office in the glorious evening sunset with the rays of sun shining magnificently through the big fluffy clouds and the fall leaves all dancing in the breeze--okay, 40mph wind here right now that can rip a package from your hands if you're not careful and blow leaves in your eyes that make you tear up...

....that I BEAT everyone here except Demonherald! And finished my Reaper commisison, and dragon, in time for the MMSI show while completing my entry.

I'm happy with my entry...not perfect, but in two weeks I can't do perfect--yet. Demonherald--I told you I really liked your piece, and you finished it early too! Congrats. Now go beat the rest of these puppies and prove you're worthy!

(sniff) :2:

What, I won, I wasn't even paying attention...

Sorry Althai, that is my favorite top 5 quote from the podthralls from " What not to say to your opponent after beating them in Warmachine."

Uh, my clock says it is Friday and where is the new theme and pairings?

Hey super....... ( in the old voice of Lou Costello)

Yaay! Next round here I come! Sorry Callum, better luck next time.... yours was a nice entry too. I'll find some time to comment in the gallery later.

Nice work judging that lot. That was a mammoth task!

Ritual

10-19-2007, 04:57 AM

Yeah, took me a while... and then I had to go through the entries again to make sure the scoring was consistent. Next round will be easier, but I really long for the final rounds! :)

Supervike needs to stop lazing about in bed. I'm on west coast time, and I'm up!! Maybe we should send him an alarm clock..

More math?

Can somebody double check this, but I think I found two miscalculataions, although it doesn't effect the outcomes of any matches: I have Prezmus at 44 pts with vike has 43.5 and I have Kenan with 42 with vike getting 41.5.

I'm getting cross-eyed looking at numbers, can somebody check these?

Also, thanks for the great job from the judges. EricJ is the harshest scorer giving an average of 14.52 out of 20 per painter, Ritual was the middleman averaging 14.66 and Frustrated Father was the pushover averaging a score of 14.69 per painter.

:D OK, time to look at something other than numbers now....

Actually that's amazingly consistent, well done judges! I would almost expect a greater spread just based on personal taste, biases and the like, but only a .17 difference between all of them? Nicely done!

Oh, and did I mention I'm moving on to the next round...:tongue2:

According to my spreadsheets, Przemus has a total of 44 points and Kenan has a total of 42 points. I haven't cross-checked any other scores.

I noticed that FF and Ritual gave me the exact same scores in each category, while Eric was a big meanie and gave me the lowest.. 3.5 for theme, Eric? You have no sense of humor! :aetsch:

That's it! I'm getting that wedding cake picture back out! :p:

Ritual

10-19-2007, 11:17 AM

There are differences though... I had Malebolgia as the winner of his face-off whereas Eric and Nathan didn't (by looking at the scores now... none of us considered the match-ups when we gave out the scores).

URG!

I very sincerely apologize to both Prezmus and Kenan. It, thankfully, doesn't affect anything.

I am at home now, so I can't see what i did wrong on my handy dandy spreadsheet, but most likely I missed a .5 on each of them when inputing the scores. I am very glad it doesn't effect anyones advancing (i am waiting for that mistake with clenched buttocks)....but still it's inexcusable. I really apologize, and will try and be more careful.

I will correct the big board.

Thanks Duende for pointing it out. I tend to rely on you folks for catching those errors too often, but I am very thankfully you do.

10-19-2007, 01:13 PM

Hmm, guess I should be thankful that I got 15.5 from Eric then if he was the harshest scorer! Ritual was not so generous with a 14. I remember these things big man....

what day is it again?..
