Comic and humor contest open from today!

[Talad]

Hi planeshifters,
after the very successfull art contest, we want to have one competition where everyone can participate. We had some time ago a comic strip drawn for PlaneShift, and the same artist will draw the one which wins the contest. 

The rules are simple:

• For the graphical part you can draw it with VERY simple sketches, or just describe it with text (like: a big enkidukai grins at the kran,...).
• For the text part, we require it to be pretty much final, with quotes and phrases present in each frame. Here you can say: frame 1 around the head of the Enki- "Here you go! Another rusty Xacha!", on the human: "mumble mumble", frame 2 ....
• The frames can be from 1 to 6.
• No bad language, no violence (except the one needed to kill a monster), no connections on real life religion, politics, people, states or whatever. It should be 100% planeshift related.
• You can submit more than one comic.

Current "extendable" deadline for submissions is Halloween! (Consider that in PS Halloween is not present at maximum they know what an undead is)

interesting, can;'t say I'll get involved with this myself, I can only bring up ideas and do behind the scenes stuff, not much of an artist or writer :]

Hey, nice!
All you story-tellers, get over here!

[Nikodemus]

Who knows where is the old PS comic?
it would be a good idea to keep the style and possibly continue the story ;P

[Karyuu]

That would be on the Comics page :3

[Nurahk]

Eeeeh, might be an idea not to have actual characters in the comic...and no inside jokes.

Just a suggestion

[Peacer]

Hey, nice!
All you story-tellers, get over here!

Sure Peacer at your service *starts imagining*

[Phinehas]

I would post something, but I don't think my humor comes for the asking.

[Xillix Queen of Fools]

Where do the submissions go to?

[Baldur]

I would post something, but I don't think my humor comes for the asking.

Phinehas, do not hesitate to post what you think is humor. For all I know it's great and sarchasms are always appreciated. Try it out, you might be surprised

well... I'm not good at drawing so here is the text.

Frame1:
At some table in Kada'El tavern a male diaboli is surrounded by many folks.
He is grinning as he tells the joke and spreads his arms to the sides to show the length of the fish.
Diaboli: And I pulled the angling rod and I got a fish this big!
Dwarf with big red nose: Whoa!!!
Dermorian: Really?!
Klyros (at the next table): Not again!

Frame2:
At the next table - a menki and a klyros who is pretty annoyed to hear the same joke over and over.
Klyros: This is the third time he says the same joke...

Frame3:
The menki comes with a brilliant idea; wicked grin on his face.
Menki: I have an idea! Let's tie his hands!

Frame4:
So the  menki and the klyros jump and tie his hands. The diaboli is very surprised.
Diaboli: $#!?WTH?
Dust cloud: *kick* *slap* *poke*

Frame5:
The diaboli sits back at his table and starts to tell the joke again.
The klyros waits...
Diaboli: And I pulled the fishing rod...
Klyros: I wonder what is he gonna say now...

Frame6:
The diaboli puts his fists together showing the size of the eye.
Diaboi: ... and I got a huge fish! It's eye was this big!!!
The kyros is completely puzzled.

Excessive smileys removed :} --Karyuu

I'm wondering if this comic is meant to be more for the players of Planeshift, or to attract new people. It's just that while reading the above concept I realized that although it was amusing, it really had nothing to do with PS whatsoever, however I also realized that if we make it too PS oriented, non-players may not "get it". So who's it aimed at/for?

[LigH]

1)
A red haired male [ Diaboli | Ynnwn ] awakens, rubs his eyes, and reads in the message box:

>Bored? Create a guild and advertize it on our forums, make a web page for it!

Suddenly he realises: "Good idea..." and imagines himself as next leader of the land.

2)
He swings the rock pick well, makes the nuggets fly, and sings:
"Let's make lots of money..."

3)
He stands on a socket at the plaza and shouts:
"All Diaboli and Ynnwn, come to me, join my guild to be founded soon!"

4)
Several hours later...
A small circle of just even 5 more or less matching candidates (poor noobs with unshaped bodies and basic clothing) meets at the ledge to the right of the entrance to the arena tunnel.
One of them asks: "How will we be called?"
Another smart guy (raised finger) reminds: "It must be a unique and impressive name, which already explains our goals..."

5)
He reads a scroll with the already used guild names:

...
Dark Brotherhood
Dark Empire
Dark Fangs
Dark Shadows
Dark Vigilants
Disciples of Darkness
...

6)

With a desperate expression, he wonders (cloudy thought bubble):
"Does this town already have 'Fire Fighters'?"



P.S.: Forgot any "dark" guild? PM me so I can add them before the deadline!

Oké... Here goes nothing:

Titel:                        The smartass-menki (named Socius  )
     Frame 1: You see an menki (I would love to see my name on it, but it doesn't have to ) digging, saying: "c'mon goldies!" but he has no luck. There are also other peoples digging, among them a Kran.
     Frame 2: four hours later We see the menki still digging, still no luck. the menki curses : "!@%$^%!@$ Ohh my &^!%# Laanx and Talad, I hate you, you stupid piece of rock!" directed towards the rock he is digging in
     Frame 3: You see the Kran turning his head away from tyhe digging to the menki saying: "What did you say!?"
     Frame 4: The menkis stands before the Kran saying: "I said : "!@%$^%!@$ Ohh my &^!%# Laanx and Talad, I hate you you stupid piece of rock!" ... You got a problem with that?"
     Frame 5: they are still standing face to face, the kran is getting real angry saying/shouting : "WHAT DID YOU SAY!? YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME? HUH?"
     Frame 6: still standing face to face, the Kran still furious, the enki replies chuckling: "No sir, I don't need a piece of you. I want gold... and by the looks of it you only have coal in your skull" ... (that's like you can imageon yourself what happens next, like an open book ending, only this would by not a book but a kick-ass comic ^^)

Notes: -you can Ignore the line in () ^^ or not ^^ 
- I hope you all get the joke... I my mind it's funny, I hope so here
Péace out!
