View Full Version : Light-Hearted Fun™: Cheap Ripoffs
Schwitzer
09-06-2006, 9:22 AM
Somebody once said, "Good artists draw, great artists steal." In keeping with this sentiment, I encourage everyone to join in this weeks Light-Hearted Fun™!
Your goal is to create a cheap imitation of another member's avatar, and then proudly wear it as your own. However, there is a catch; if you're going to take part in this, you must upload a copy of your own avatar to this thread. This ensures that others have the opportunity to rip you off, as well.
It's fair game!
Prizes for the best avatars. Go!

Wow, I suck at Paint.
Take your pick, the Enzyte avatar was only temporary.

Sure, go for it.
But that'd be no fun, if everyone did the same one...:(
IT'D BE THE GODAMNED SPHEAL ALL OVER AGAIN!

Yeah, but I did it first!
Lol, I think this is causing the desired amoung of chaos.
Example, a comment I left on PC99's MySpace:
However, I keep thinking I'm GA when I post now. I'm missing my Tonberry and I'm starting to develop a desire to flame n00bs, slay people with logic and devour children.
It terrifies me.

You, kong, and a few others seem confused. This isn't the place to come and beg for attention, it's a place to play the game. Do someone else's avatar, and maybe someone will do yours. It doesn't work if everybody writes a "paint me" post. Get it?

You seem to have a bit of extra whitespace to the right and bottom of the image; that's probably why.

Unintended consequences maybe, but your new moniker "iSchwitz" is very close in pronunciation to "Auschwitz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp)."

You're right there. Most of them also contain an inside joke, adding to the weirdness.
I feel I should explain mine. Well, I was on Bnet playing SC when U238 wants to play a game (he kicks my ass all the time). I joked he was sadomasochistic, and he felt very insulted (:)), so that's how this one kinda came into existence.
