CHALLENGE II: Build a Better Avatar

[digitalpress]

You may have noticed that some of the creative avatars you thought you'd get away with using on this island have mysteriously vanished from your profile, or perhaps YOU have vanished from the island!

The avatars are basically the "flags" of your tribe. You don't mess with the US flag, so you don't mess with the CommaVid flag either :)

However, you can score yourself a whopping 10 points if you can design an avatar that we decide to use in place of one we already have! It doesn't have to be fancy - usually simpler or more representative will do the trick.

RULES:
Avatars can be JPG or GIF and must measure 100 x 100 pixels.
Send the avatar to digitalpress@email.com.

SCORING:
If we replace our avatar with your creation, you get 10 points. You keep the 10 points even if your avatar is later replaced with someone else's!

Game ON.

Well, it certainly doesn't get any more basic and to the point than that Atari logo... but I'll give it a try anyways this weekend.

Can we still get points if we design a kick-ass avatar for a different clan? I wouldn't mind taking a stab at some of them.

Any player, any tribe. Give it a shot, but I'm pretty picky. Everything so far has been rejected :)

erm... huh?

I changed your av back to the default one but I haven't received any update from you. If you sent it and it bounced, try dp@videogamecollectors.com instead.

All "alternates" will be considered and you'll always get an email back from me saying if and why it was accepted/rejected.

[Cmosfm]

Hmmm, I didn't get a response to my second one so I'm responding to the new address.

You must end this soon; I can't be trusted not to make a hundred. @_@

Nice job crush. I really like this one. The one I made was similar, but this one is better. I guess it would help if I had photoshop installed.

[Mayhem]

Wooo Megaman 2... the only NES Megaman game I got whilst I had my machine. Loved it... but found it a bit easy back then (I think I beat it in like a week). Came back to it with the Anniversary Collection and the bloody thing kicked my arse! To begin with... managed to beat it in the end.

Thanks alot! Oh and it was made using only MS paint. I don't even have photoshop! Pretty good, huh?

Oh, and if any mods are reading....can we submit avatar for clans that have no members, like 3DO? Just wondering.

[Dahne]

*blush*

[sisko]

Avatar sent! Again!

[Aussie2B]

Gah, my tribe is practically the only one that doesn't have a new avatar. o_O Mine, as beautiful as it is, is starting to look kinda plain compared to all these fancy ones. Maybe I should attempt to whoop one up. I mean, if I don't do it, no one else will. :P

[Drammy]

Avatar change (hopefully) sent!

[gamergary]

Avatar hopefully sent to both email addys. May not have sent since netscape mail was giving me this pop up about not being able to connect to a certain server.

[Dangerboy]

Aussie, I submitted a Tri Ace one...hopefully it will get shown...so far, ironically, all my PSX ones have been getting rejected...even my last oen with a killer ico shot. doh!

[gamergary]

Hopefully my new avatar has been sent sucessfully since Netscape is still giving me that message about not being able to connect to some useless server.
