Brackets updated. We had a request to enter the tournament and replace Red XIII from a very credible graphic designer, but since Mystik already took the spot I let him join in late since the matches hadn't begun. What you see is the final brackets, folks! Rules are being made now, match topics going up soon!

Hipster: I honestly don't know man, I wish he got in on it, but he just didn't Mystik: You're in, I'll edit the brackets to show that you're taking Red's place, and then start posting matches in a bit. Good luck, everyone!

Was going to have those matches posted last night, but ran into a bit of a snag. I'm going to be going to bed for a few hours (I woke up an hour ago to help with the yard, dead tired now) and then when I get on that'll be the first thing I do. I think you all will find round one's rules to everyone's liking

Well you're in luck, matches start tonight once I post them eventually and don't end until next Sunday... since the tournament's only just starting, the longest deadline is going to be the first round. As the tournament advances, deadlines will be lowered for time reasons. But for now, everyone has just over a week when I post the rules. And about Red XIII vs. Dochappy... if Red's banned (I didn't realize he was) then I'll see about finding a replacement before the match deadline, otherwise yeah... Doc will get a BYE.

Tommorow night at around 12:00AM EST I will hopefully begin to post the match topics for the first round. All of your opponents have been randomly selected, so no complaints to me. All matches will follow the same set of rules-- however the rules will be different for the east and west sides of the tournament. Prepare yourselves, good luck to all of you, and remember: the winner might get a prize-- nothing is set in stone yet, but if they do, it will be a good one. The runner-up will get a prize too, IF the winner gets one.

No no, I'm doing what you and AJ said-- I've had the canvas on Photoshop anyway... I've just been manually slicing them now to fix the problem.

Ah, alright... awesome, I think I get what to do now. Thanks for the thought, Jordan-- I updated the graphics to make them fit better, and noticed you had the mural coded to 800x500 like the original graphic sizes were... so now they're a wee bit overstretched. I'll probably have to copy your code and manually put in the new dimensions for each... but I really appreciate that you did that for me

I'm currently in the process of designing my own graphics mural, the theme being A-Z Video Games. Thing is, I don't know exactly how to put it together on a webpage... so I was wondering if one of you guys who does know could whip together a page for me and sorta update it for me until I'm done with the mural? That'd be awesome Here's the link to my Photobucket Account Subfolder where the graphics are located: http://photobucket.com/albums/v64/NorrisScott/Mural/ Thanks

This is the final list, ladies and gentlemen! No more sign ups!

And Dan is our last sign-up. Sign-ups officially closed!

Lately? That font's been overused for the past several years. The graphic is alright-- nothing too special, nothing really other then the font that I can think to improve on... it's just average.

Peaceful is a state of surroundings or being, peace is an emotion, but either way it works really

That's true... guess it'll work out alright then. Next up to the plate? I want to get my hands dirty in this thing again soon!

... dimensions are 800x500, yours is 979x500 Resize it, otherwise it's actually pretty good.

It's a general rule of thumb, Mr. rell, that when a graphic is posted there's feedback to be had. Did you expect no one to reply to the topic and for it to fall into the shadows? Honestly man, come on. I'm tempted to warn you for gravedigging, but the topic hadn't been left alone but for a few weeks, so I don't know. Just try to learn: You're not posting graphics here without feedback, unless it's not good enough to garner positive replies, yet not sucky enough to garner negative ones. Mediocre graphics generally are left unnoticed, and this one was obviously neither mediocre nor good. Just learn from the responses and improve from them, that's it. Now, if this badgering continues, I'm just going to lock the topic, so try to grin and bear the criticism, and apply it to your future works so you can improve, okay?

You'll keep updating it, right Keef? Because I'd love to continue this
