Rules

Here are the rules brought down the mountain many years ago by some guy I don't know:

1. Each match will consist of two shots per player, except the final in which there are three shots per player.
2. The player with the opening shot (i.e. the server) can put what they want in their picture.  But all subsequent pictures (i.e the return) must contain, either visually or conceptually, an element of the previous picture.
3. The pictures will be 800 x 600, or 600 x 800 pixels in size.*
4. Voting will take place by posting the name of your favourite in the game thread immediately after play has ended (i.e. when the 4th picture of each match has been posted).  The voting will last for 48 hours.
5. Common sense prevails in image choice.
6. Pictures can be uploaded to places like photobucket.com for those who have no webspace, but the picture must be displayed in the game thread.

And a reminder of time permitted:  You have 72 hours to post an image from when the round starts or from when the last shot has been posted. Keep a look out on your game for when your opponent posts their shot, as it's from that time that the 72 hours start.

*I've arbitrarily decided to increase the image size from 600x400. If people don't like this then it can be changed

That's only 17 so we need more players so please participate. Shots don't have to take you all day, just give yourself 20 mins to put something together involving gervais being eaten by dogs. Its not an art competition. If you signed up on one of the other two threads and I've left you out, apologies. Add your name to the list.

We need an overlord/ruler/organiser this year. Famous Mortimer did a fine job last year. Maybe we could have a few of us doing it to take the load.
We need a start date - soonish

mook

i'll have a go - seems almost churlish not to.

Unfortunately, due to my principles, I won't be taking part this year.
My decision was based solely on the name change.

Bring back WIMBLEMONG!

If only, it takes me a good hour to knock up something rubbish, such are my terrible photoshopping skills. But count me in anyhow, I'm normally out after the first round so it won't take up too much of my time! :)

Someone sent me a threatening PM, so I suppose I better sign up too.

Bloody hell, here come the heavy weights and my chance of making it past round one going up in smoke[nb]Do you see what I'm doing here, Verbwhore? I'm planting an early seed of sympathy into your tiny voting mind; one that subconsciously, you'll remember when it comes time to make your judgement. I am making it more possible that you might vote for me. Wimblewhatev is as much a mindgame as anything else.[/nb]

Nuclear Optimism

How do you decide who goes first?

chocky909

No one PM'd me but I'm joining in anyway.

Artemis goes first just so we can vote him out as soon as humanly possible. I love a tradition, me.

a toss of my coin decides who goes first (serves) in each game, unless one player really needs to start/go second for whatever reason[nb]going away for a few days etc[/nb] and the other player is ok with it

rudi

I'm going away for a few days; can Artemis go first please?

These are the 26 signed up, which would mean we have 13 first round matches - meaning the highest scoring loser in the first 2 rounds would still qualify

Nuclear Optimism

Oh great I'm up against one of last year's finalists. Fuck, and the year before too.

Where are you Ziggy????

Nuclear Optimism

He'll be up against a new poster which is really his sock puppet, who will post deliberately awful 'shops, so ziggy will breeze through the first round.
