Guess removal is kind of pointless now ;)

Yep.. just fine and dandy.

Re: Kwame the Quitter

oh i figure it will get rejected, i just wanted to post it

Re: Kwame the Quitter

This'll be rejected for a number of reasons, but still it's pretty funny. No vote.

Soooo not going to change the text balloon? GMV anyway.

Everyone please revote, if this shirt doesn't make it into the hotness, it's over for this little guy ;-)

The people you guys *should* be getting mad at is Woot. It's THEIR theme. It's THEIR "coincidence".

I really think the "coincidence" has to do with the presidential candidates dropping like flies. Woot seems to like to discouage drama; not create more.

sorry, nm, no point. I hope you enjoyed it as much as the rest of us didn't.

sorry my man, the red grew on me ;-)

superspryte wrote:Hey, what's your issue? I'm saying it looked like it was a commentary, whether it was intentional or not. We can lay at least some of that at woot's feet with the choice of theme for the week. Nothing to do with sympathy or lack thereof here though. I said it was axed because it looked like it stemmed from forum drama, but did I say I was glad? Let's be reasonable. And my rejection, fair or unfair, has nothing to do with this.

My "issue" was with this:

superspryte wrote:Mild or not, it looked like a commentary on what we saw, and was axed accordingly. I'd love to see a puffaluff version. ^_^

Accordingly means it was the right thing to do. There was no evidence, only coincidence. It's all in how it "looked". I was also upset with your entry for getting rejected for how it "looked". At the time, you voiced that you thought your rejection was unfair, so I thought I'd make an analogy.

Bottom line? Entries shouldn't be rejected for unsubstantiated reasons. I'm pretty sure that this wouldn't have been axed had the Cho club not gone on a vigilante spree. If, during the holiday derby, it was okay to crucify Santa due to freedom of speech, then this should be okay, even if it WAS a slant against derby quitters (though we have no evidence of that anyway).

I think you're right. I noticed that when I got back from my doc's appointment. It was actually a 5px brush, and my own handwriting. I think 7px would probably be a good fit.

after another close look at it, i feel Plan and B should be just a little more further apart. my $0.02 : )

Yeah, I used to think that, but they sure have a funny way of going about it. They created quite a bit of drama last week eh? They create drama all the time with fuzzy/invisible rules and rejections.

he was basically getting at how the shirt says, "your design will never be on a shirt" and that this design will apparently not be on a shirt. I'm not sure of the actual reason it was rejected though.

Re: Plan B

Don't listen to what the others say, I still like you fablefire ;-)

Thanks jbedwar1, fablefire, deejaywicks, dekonstruct, and burtonrider404!

And to the people who didn't like it (:-P) all i can say is: do you seriously think I don't want people to abandon a sinking ship? That's not the idea behind the shirt...

Re: The Game of LIFE

Are you kidding??
There's really not much difference between giving Pac Man the (slight) attributes of a pumpkin, than giving these color blocks those of razor blades, is there? Maybe if I used the golden arches, this would be safe from legal scrutiny? Pfff.

Re: MEH!

This may sound stupid....but what does MEH mean.

Re: Quitters never finis.....

Quitters never finish anything, do they? this would have been a great shirt, but i kinda just gave up on it...

So dont you give up on it.. VOTE!

Oh goody. Another winner of a rejection.

Yes, apparently you have to go after the big corporations in order to be safe from copyright infringements.

You colored it! Wasn't expecting that, and it rocks. =D

Nice work! I know that you've been told about the similar style on DBH, but I think you've added your own content as well. So, hopefully this will not get rejected. You got my vote. I love it!

superspryte wrote:Accordingly from their point of view. It didn't matter to me whether or not it got rejected. The only reason I could say I'm glad is because now there's a chance of a puffaluff version (although disco hasn't said anything about doing one I'm hoping anyway). In the end it doesn't matter what I think, what you think, what the "Cho club," as you call it, thinks because Joel gets the final say. :-/

It wouldn't matter in the end... except for the fact that there are tattle buttons, and very vehement people online today! They tend to bring other things to light...

...and I still don't think that "accordingly" and "woot rejections" belong in the same train of thought. XD

Today has been r.e.t.a.r.d.e.d as far as the Cho Club, the Edgar Club, and the Rejectamatron goes though. It's probably just the alignment of the stars.

whew! glad it's back gmv

Re: Quitters never finis.....

geez patch....

superspryte wrote:Don't do that. It just clogs the page and prevents real entries from getting votes because people have to sift through stuff like this. Not to mention in a few days it'll make the page load that much slower. Please don't do that. T_T

meh, i'd do it again. no big deal really. if a shirt is going to get votes to win, it's not going to be because it isn't smushed between tons of rejected shirts, it's going to win because it deserves to and people will notice that regardless of placement in the shirt.woot line

this is clever andmakes me feel smart ;-)

That depends.. where ya'll hanging out?

yeah that's reasonable.
