Clan Battle Discussion [4thisweek]

[Charlie]

So, I just posted this in myxpablo's clan a few seconds ago.
This is the best that I've got.
I say that we get this shit up as soon as possible because I don't want our attempts transforming into spamming up our clan threads from this point on. Crash's idea worked. Now its just a matter of keeping everything stable. Let's do this hard, lets do this battle shit in a few days.

I'm about to try to get some schedules together because I just looked at Crash's-clanCrash-in thread, and noticed how Xi mentioned something about nothing about this shit being organized. So I'm figuring that as co-clan leader, I should take responsibility for the activity here.

I propose that in a couple of days, we have a fun little fight with one of the other clans out yonder, just as more of a test out to see how it goes. I know that there are issues with time zones, homework, procrastination and all of that shit. But since we've already got a thread going, we might as well put this idea to good use.

I'm thinking that possibly once a week - or every weekend or every other - We just schedule clan fights for that time period. A clan leader would put up a thread calling out another clan to fight with them to one of those tagontag battles or whatever. Then we'd have someone who isn't in a clan float along and put up a stock for the clan members on each end to use.

Similar to SOTW combined with those random clan battles that we had between C.O.C.K & Hitsuzen a year ago, and was pretty successful for the most part.

Once the stock is set up, each clan member (there'd be only 2 going at it, 1 per side) would have up till Sunday or Monday at the latest to put up the best possible tag they could make within that time limit and the stock choice.

Then the kids voting would be a representative from each clan, and one or two other kids that are neutral/not in clans like a random mod or something like Vandread or Massive Attack if they'd lurk around.

Then the winner would basically be determined by votes.
I know that the idea's iffy, but its the best thing I've got.

and in all honesty, that's the only thing that I actually see working as long people are still up to it, and are willing to put in the effort necessary to keep this Clan Ship afloat.


i like this idea.
Anyone have anything to say for this, against this, or just about this in general?
I'll post this up in Crash's Dear God thread as well, just to get the message out there.


/discuss

Edit: Additional Information - Brainstorming:

1 - I think that there should be at least 4 to 5 clans, in general so the week to week battle lay out would work out better
2 - I think that we should try to see if the kids hanging around in some of the request shops could create their own clans/join the current ones
3 - I think that the first battle should at the (latest) take place by next weekend, once things are settled with memberships and what not

Rules / other ideas:

__________

1 - Stocks chosen for the battles can range from anything from anime, to objects, to real - person stocks. I encourage the idea of them being high quality.
2 - Whenever the voting process rolls into motion, once a tag has a vote, the member voting for them should go into at least a bit of detail as to why they're so good, and possibly a bit of critique to help them get better (optional).

3 - If the battles result in a tie, then another tag can be made as a tie breaker, or thorough examination of the best aspects/downfalls/quirks of each of the tags can be explored within that day or the next to determine the winner.
4 - Ripping/Flaming isn't allowed, der.

5 - The Clan Battles would go into a week to week rotation. Random selection. So it won't be just MyClan & Crash's dogging it out.
6 - The Winners of the battles get repped by 2 or 3 members, so we don't have godlyamounts of whore rep: See: Suffering Angel

7 - Elitism isn't permitted. Nothing's rated, everyone's given a chance, regardless of their skill.
8 - ..(still brainstorming)..

Then we'd have someone who isn't in a clan float along and put up a stock for the clan members on each end to use.

I disagree with this part. I think we should just have a set theme instead of a certain stock

[Charlie]

Theme? Feels good to me.
So it'd basically be like a hybrid version of SOTW.

I like i like.
Oh, I edited my original post.
Go look.

I see what you mean by wanting to get this going ASAP. And I support that idea. Plus, I PM'ed almost all of the GFXers I knew on the site ('cept the ones that had posted in the other thread).

I like the 'Fixed Stock' Battles. But Kaz had reccomended a few other types of battles as well. Like the use of the folders and the Battle-the-whole-effin-clan type. In essence, we should'nt have only one basic type of battle.

And yeah, me and TGFX need to recruit some people.

[Tenacious GFX]

im glad you like it :D

I think that we should try to see if the kids hanging around in some of the request shops could create their own clans/join the current ones

We could try asking some artists who arent in shops to be in the clans that way we can get to know them more and maybe it will help their GFX skill......ideas are just coming out the butt

[Charlie]

aight.
make sure you pm all of the floaters to see if they want in on this.

Agreed.

I think we could have a tagwall battle. Each member of the clan puts up a tag for the tagwall and when both clans are done, they put it up for voting. These tagwalls could just be freestyle(most likely) or could be themed such as pokemon or gundam and each tag on the wall would have to have that theme.

Ok will do

[.:[Kazuma]:.]

Hey I got an idea for types of battles
Resource Battle:
How about a battle were folders are made for a special type of clan battle.
We make clan battle were special folders are set up. The folder should contain 1 of the following:C4D,texture,and a brush( the brush can be in packs). In the battle you have to useall of the graphic resources in the folder. Not doing so will result in disqualification. Winning you will get rep.

Graphic King Battle:
Think your so damn good you can beat out at least 5 people in a clan. Well here you go, challenge the five people in the clan you wish to challenge. You will make one tag,LP, or whatever you challenge them to. All those 5 challenged well make the graphic type they were challenged to. If the challenger wins he gets rep by all five of the challenged. Lose you get neg rep by all of them. You also give one of graphic resources to all of them if losing. Each of them must receive a different resource.

Hmm

Thata what i posted earlier.

Ok well i PMed most of the "lone artists" that i could find and from the few of them that replyed i got a positive response on this clan idea
