For opposite week, I could either make myself less of a puppy and more of a cat, or I could bring back my alternate gender self...hmm...this will be a tough one...I need to make myself as opposite as possible if that one passes.

Oh, and we're just nominating right now, right? This isn't the official vote where we can only choose one?

[Cealocanth]

One vote for Masked Week.

One vote for Underwater Deep Sea Week.

[happyturtle]

No mixed parentage weeeeeek. D=

Pick another poster's avatar character, draw the kid that your avatar's character would have with them, regardless of biology.

[SDF]

+1 Nationality

[Cobalt]

That sounds incredibly awkward for the people (like myself) with inanimate avatars. And thus, I vote against! >:O

Anyways, not sure if it was counted or not (I think it was), but I voted for Masked a bit back. If it was, then pass on over this.

Everyone dresses their avatars like they're from whatever country we're from. The reason I refuse to support it is because it's gonna devolve into a flame war, no doubt in my mind.

I really don't think it would turn into "Rawwr... my country is better than yours!" stuff. :smallfrown:

[Cobalt]

You know what. I actually wouldn't mind shoving an american flag behind my cross. Or something more creative. Or less. We'll see.

I now support both Masked and Nationality. Tremble in fear.

[Serpentine]

I really can't see it involving flaming at all. I mean, I might get a bit sick of seeing excessive flags around the place, but that's about it.

[Cealocanth]

I can see my avatar dressed as Uncle Sam. I think that'd be a fine theme week.

I had an idea for a theme week. How about Plantitization Week? Everyone modifies their avatar to either be druidized or a plant elementalized.

[Dogmantra]

Oh, since I had a super amazing idea, I fully support Nationality Week now.

[MartytheBioGuy]

In similar fashion to the always amazing Dogmantra, I had an AMAZING idea, and have already completed the art for it (that's how amazing it was), so I will be changing my vote to Nationality Week.

[horngeek]

Speaking of which, can I make a suggestion for two weeks:

Critical Failure Week and Critical Sucess Week.

So, Critical Failure Week would be where you'd pick a skill check, and have the avatar suffering the results of a 1 in that check. For example, a 1 in... Use Rope would result in the avatar somehow tying itself up. Or 1 in Spot would result in it running into a pole.

Critical Success Week would be the avatar reaping the benefits (in some amusing way) of a 20 in a check. So example, 20 in a Listen Check would result in the avatar hearing something it is scarred by. :smalltongue:

That said, I vote Epic Level week. Simply use the Bankai version of my Shinigami avatar. :smalltongue:

...how would Shipping week work? :smallconfused:

[Ashen Lilies]

I really can't see it involving flaming at all. I mean, I might get a bit sick of seeing excessive flags around the place, but that's about it.

There's quite a few very evil possibilities for my own country, should I choose to get political. I won't of course, but my Inner Troll giggles at the prospect.

[Lix Lorn]

Critical Failure Week and Critical Sucess Week.
I like them!
My failure I don't have a clue for, but my Use Rope would involve BlueGhost someone tied up. :smallwink:

[Dogmantra]

My failure I don't have a clue for, but my Use Rope would involve BlueGhost someone tied up. :smallwink:

Lixxy, let's be honest, your success on Use Rope would have everyone tied up.

[horngeek]

Lixxy, let's be honest, your success on Use Rope would have everyone tied up.

Even herself? :smalltongue:

[Serpentine]

Especially herself :smallwink:

[horngeek]

Oh, I see. :smallamused:

So, what does everyone else think of my idea?

Probably not this theme week, but maybe the one after that.

[Lix Lorn]

Even herself? :smalltongue:
To be totally honest, a CRITICAL success would be me tied up and most of the Forum Dominated to be there. :smallwink::smalltongue::smallredface:

[Dogmantra]

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll78/De_ressurect/joedominated.png
your wish is my command mistress

[horngeek]

See, you're making the assumption that I'd need to be DOMINATED... :smalltongue::smallamused::smallredface:

Also, this conversation reminds me of OOTS 418 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0418.html). Specifically, the last panel.

[lord pringle]

TCG week! for the win!

[happyturtle]

I'd combine Critical Success/Failure into the same week. Let everyone decide whether they want win or fail.

[horngeek]

Actually, that's probably a good point there. :smalltongue:

One less spell used, whoopee. XD

I'd rather keep them separate. Then you can do both!

Good point there, as well. :smalltongue:

Or maybe you could have two, and alternate between them.

[Lix Lorn]

Or maybe you could have two, and alternate between them.
...but that'd be a LOT of effort. :smallfrown:

[Dogmantra]

...but that'd be a LOT of effort. :smallfrown:

You weren't here last Hallowe'en. I had nine avatars. For one week. :smalltongue:

[Lix Lorn]

...wow. :smalleek:

[Dogmantra]

They're here if you're interested (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8176505&postcount=608)

I started two days early and changed once a day. I had a special sig for each one too. So yeah, TOO MUCH WORK, EH? :smalltongue:

[Lix Lorn]

._.
Wow.

Also, I'll feel mean asking for ONE avatar. XDD

[Emperor Ing]

Or you can just do it the old fashioned way and make your own avatars. :smalltongue:

[Lix Lorn]

YOU can. I'm so bad with art, I can't even scratch sprite.

[horngeek]

YOU can. I'm so bad with art, I can't even scratch sprite.

Same here. :smalltongue:

[Lix Lorn]

I can recolour and splice!

Hmmm... so, who else likes my idea of Critical Failure/Success Week? :smalltongue::smallamused:

[MartytheBioGuy]

:smalltongue:

I love the idea, but...

You have no idea how much I want nationality week. Like, A LOT. I have an amazing idea.

[Andraste]

I'd like to add a vote for Nationality Week.

[happyturtle]

Yeah, of all the ideas with popular support, Nationality Week is my favorite.

[horngeek]

Hmmm... all right. I'll add a vote for Nationality Week.

...I'm probably going to go for this new avvie, but with an Aussie hat. :smalltongue:

And I have two ideas for Critical Failure/Success Week. :smalltongue:

First is Critical Failure. Use Rope, she's managed to tie herself up.

The second? Critical Success, Escape Artist. Sitting on top of a tank filled with water, holding a straitjacket in her hands. Bonus points if you get the reference here.

[Emperor Ing]

I'm still strongly convinced nationality week will turn into either a "My country > ur country" or "USA sux lololol" flame war thread. :smallsigh:

[Dragero]

Adding a vote for Critical Success/Fail Week

Fail: Boot on my head. (Bomb strapped to boot?)

Success: ???????

[horngeek]

Actually, how many votes has each week gotten so far?

And for that matter, how long is it going to be until the next week, anyway?

On the 'bonus points for getting the reference in the Critical Success idea': said points will consist of a cookie. :smalltongue:

[bvdk99]

Nationality Week sounds fun, eh? :smallwink::smalltongue:

[horngeek]

On the 'bonus points for getting the reference in the Critical Success idea': said points will consist of a cookie. :smalltongue:

So, does anyone want to try for a cookie? :smalltongue:

[Cealocanth]

So, does anyone want to try for a cookie? :smalltongue:

I got nothing.

I support Nationality Week as well. I have a feeling this is going to be the winner...

Did we already have a 300/Sparta Week? One where everyone dresses their avatar up as if they were in spartan times or as a character in the movie?

[Cobalt]

So, does anyone want to try for a cookie? :smalltongue:

I know exactly what the reference is. Just can't remember the name involved here... Grr...

[horngeek]

It's actually a combination of references. Same guy, two different tricks combined. :smalltongue:

[Ashen Lilies]

Harry. Houdini. Good god. :smallsigh::smalltongue:

[horngeek]

Since I told KK over PMs, he doesn't get a cookie. :smalltongue:

The implication would be that she has just escaped from a combination of his Chinese Water Torture Cell and Suspended Straitjacket tricks. Something that, at least to me, sounds hard. And dangerous. :smalleek:

[Ashen Lilies]

I didn't even read your PMs, actually. >.>

[horngeek]

In that case! You do get a cookie!

*gives KK cookie*:smalltongue:

[Serpentine]

I'm still strongly convinced nationality week will turn into either a "My country > ur country" or "USA sux lololol" flame war thread. :smallsigh:And I'm strongly convinced you're absolutely wrong, and wish you'd stop trying to bring us all down.

I like Critical Success/Failure week, but I reckon Nationality's gonna be the next one.

[horngeek]

...actually, can we have a count of the votes?

[GrlumpTheElder]

Did we already have a 300/Sparta Week? One where everyone dresses their avatar up as if they were in spartan times or as a character in the movie?

We had a Greek/Roman mythology week if that counts...

[Emperor Ing]

And I'm strongly convinced you're absolutely wrong, and wish you'd stop trying to bring us all down.

All it takes is one person going "USA is cool!1" to bring on the "USA sux lol" trolls, it's standard procedure for this forum. I saw it on the USA thread like a year ago, it didn't take long for the "USA sux lol" trolls to get a hold, and by "not long" I mean "by the 3rd post." That thread had to get locked.

My reservations are that all it takes is a few of the Americans ITP saying how they like where they live to set off the bomb. I've seen it before and the same people are still around. Not to mention it's also standard procedure to devolve into a discussion about Politics.

[Serpentine]

If it happens, report the posts. Whinging about it now isn't helping anyone or anything.

[Zeb The Troll]

I agree with Serpentine. I don't think it's likely at all that a discussion of politics or a Us vs. Them ego battle would instantly evolve.

The last thread I saw that happen in, one guy was responsible, it didn't happen until something like the 3rd page, and the guy who was spouting the hate got instabanned.

If it was really going to be that big of a deal, the "Continent itP" threads would have been shut down by now too.

[horngeek]

If it was really going to be that big of a deal, the "Continent itP" threads would have been shut down by now too.

This. Very much.

[Serpentine]

I think self-mockery is much more likely than other-insulting...

[Zeb The Troll]

I think self-mockery is much more likely than other-insulting...I'm now imagining a Serpentine avatar that consists of her chasing a burger that's hopping away on 'roo legs. :smallamused:

[horngeek]

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__GTrSYoXlbY/SceVlc5f5LI/AAAAAAAABCc/QOfxiyJBteM/s400/no_kangaroos.gif

On the other hand, this could lead people to think I'm Austrian, which I don't want. :smalltongue:

[Serpentine]

...a burger? :smallconfused: Hmm. Wonder if I've made 'roo burgers before... Probably.
Boy and I were very disappointed the other day when we couldn't find any kangaroo mince with which to make nachos. First time I've ever seen it sold out... All the other mince meat looked so unappetising in comparison :smallyuk:

Assuming Nationality week's happening, gonna need some Aussie stereotypes. The cork hat is a no-brainer, of course.

edit: Hey Rawhide, where's your "WTF mate?" photo?

[horngeek]

Or a slouch hat.

A knife. :smalltongue:

Keeping a crocodile as a pet.

[Serpentine]

Ah. Here's the photo, but no caption, so pretend:

[horngeek]

I LOL'd. Hard. :smalltongue:

[Emperor Ing]

If it happens, report the posts. Whinging about it now isn't helping anyone or anything.

All i'm saying is that at the very least, it's gonna be a quiet week. At the worst there will be more than a few instabans. Also condescending to me really ain't helpin' your case.

[Serpentine]

"It's going to be a quiet week"? :smallconfused: What does that even mean?
I disagree with your claim, and so does at least one other. You have aired your concern. Going on about it is going to do nothing but get annoying, and your insistent and incessant lack of faith in our ability to dress up our avatars in country-based garb without all telling each other how much our respective countries suck is frankly insulting.

[Emperor Ing]

I call it "Stopping something before it starts." All i'm saying is that I think this could end up being problematic and if you don't think so, fine. I'm starting to get pretty annoyed by your obvious hostility so i'll just leave it at this.

[Raz_Fox]

And I have two ideas for Critical Failure/Success Week. :smalltongue:

First is Critical Failure. Use Rope, she's managed to tie herself up.

*nosebleed*

Darn it, horngeek! Stupid sexy tiefling.

[Felyndiira]

I call it "Stopping something before it starts." All i'm saying is that I think this could end up being problematic and if you don't think so, fine. I'm starting to get pretty annoyed by your obvious hostility so i'll just leave it at this.

By your preemptive prevention theory, though, let's assume that we have an alternate artist week. [Person A] could go into the week with an avatar in [Person B]'s style, and [Person C], who dislikes [Person B], would go "lol that art sux use ur own style lol." Repeat with a few more people, and alternate artist week becomes a troll-fest waiting to be locked. If precedent is required, then someone could just troll someone else's art thread, and you would have to shut down all future art threads because there have been art trolls at some point in the past.

Also, if someone made a topic about yellow fruits, and someone else trolls the thread, would that also be precedent that a fruit-themed avatar week should be preemptively struck down because it's obviously going to lead to more trolling?

What I'm trying to say is this: give us a little more faith. Besides the fact that there's a big difference between a USA thread and dressing our avatars in baggy t-shirts and jeans, it's easy to lock a thread if it gets anywhere near rowdy. There's no reason to preemptively shut down a topic because a single person feels that the topic in question just might, at some small chance, turn into a flame war.

[The Bushranger]

*skips into thread*

I vote for Nationality week. And already have a plan...

[Viera Champion]

I think nationality week would work as long as we manage not to actually discuss anything cuz it's already on that fine line. Besides I could dig up my Viera Red Mage avvie and have someone green it up to support my Irish pride.

[horngeek]

*nosebleed*

Darn it, horngeek! Stupid sexy tiefling.

[Quincunx]

I suppose that means that a Sister America (http://humon.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2q1ngt) avatar is right out, then.

[Zeb The Troll]

I suppose that means that a Sister America (http://humon.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2q1ngt) avatar is right out, then.If you hadn't linked it, I wouldn't have had any idea what you were talking about. I'd have seen an avatar wearing an American flag bikini and thought naught of it. The General Lee, on the other hand, bears a Confederate flag and even if, or especially if, you don't know who the Dukes of Hazzard are, most people still know what that flag signifies. It would be one thing if someone were to do it during "80s SitCom Week", but not during "National Pride" week.

Even the cheesy movie remake acknowledges that the image of the Stars and Bars is controversial at best.

[Elder Tsofu]

Quincunx, those comics trapped me for the better part of two hours. :smalltongue:

[The Bushranger]

*sighs, shrugs*

Reckon I'd sit out National Week, then. Since I wouldn't have BR dress up as no Yankee. :smalltongue:

Of coruse, he could wear a Colonial Army uniform...hm....

[Mystic Muse]

Can somebody explain why they have the confederate flag and named their car the General Lee in Dukes of Hazzard? I never got that.

Of course, I've never actually seen the show. That may have something to do with it.

Damn you, I had thought about doing the counting yesterday, but decided I was too lazy and also I couldn't tell where the voting began and THEN YOU GO AND DO THIS!

*sigh* No rest for the wicked, I guess. Balford, I'm retroactively adopting you for today only.

....

I kinda dig the idea for Nationality Week. I'm seeing Fullbladder dressed as an RCMP officer sitting on top of a polar bear. Can't get more stereotypically Canadian than that. Well, you could, but you'd have to go into phonetic spelling. And I'm just not oop to that.

[Dragero]

*Holds up a beaver*

Wait...Your canadian too, Fullblader?

I'd love to see Myself in a Boot painted to look like the canadian flag, with a mountie uniform on, holding some maple syrup.

Casting another vote for Opposites Week, if it will matter.

[Thanatos 51-50]

*Nips into the thread for no particular reason*

Y'know, Nationality week sounds like it could easily be unintentionally and extremely offensive.

Oh, quit being such a worry-wart. I'm sure this'll be fine, so long as the regular avatar-weekers stay as civil as they typically are. I haven't seen any trolls or flamers with the patience to make an avatar, so offencive avatars are unlikely if we maintain common sense, and I don't know of any trolls or flamers that are on this site, period, so don't think anyone will come in here saying things like 'mah contry ez beter den urz lulz.' Unless you have some names in mind?

I mean, hell, nobody's called me on the Iron Cross yet. And I personally know a few people who are slightly unsettled by me using it as an avatar everywhere I go.

I think we have enough self-control to make it, in both making avatars and commentary on the avatars.

[MartytheBioGuy]

And quite frankly, you have no idea how desperate I am to show off the avatar I made for Nationality week. For me being a newbie at the whole inkscape thing, I'm proud of the quality. And my idea is based on one of my favorite characters in all of fiction.

So please don't try to squash nationality week for me...:smallannoyed::smallfrown:

[Quincunx]

I have one pertinent question.

Why is it the natives of the U.S.A. who are convinced Nationality Week will end in flames?

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find a tiny, annoying, yappy dog to perch on my head for the duration.

[MartytheBioGuy]

I'm an American and I'm all for it! Like, ALL for it.

[Emperor Ing]

Why is it the natives of the U.S.A. who are convinced Nationality Week will end in flames?

Because everything involving Politics and Politics discussions almost always centers around guess which country.

Not to mention there's a track record on this forum of USA thread(s) ending in flame wars. You can say we've gotten pretty paranoid.

in addendum: I might be mistaken but I might have been the only one here to say that Nationality Week could devolve into a flame war.

Earlier, you were. Now there's two. But I stand by the confindence-filled thought process that we Playgrounders have enough control over ourselves to not succomb to flaming. I mean, I really haven't seen anyone here who even gives off a hint of trolliness, so I feel safe enough to involve myself, at least.

YEsyesyesyesYESyesYesYESyEsYesyes yes and yes!

I call "Sleeping" parrot!

[Cobalt]

Has anyone considered a Monty Python theme week?

As Nationality seems to have the overwhelming majority, let's save it for the next week. But when it does come time to vote again, let it be known that Cobalt the Mighty casts his vote for it.

'It' being Monty Python Week.

But not this week.

This week is for absurd flags and stereotypes.

Next week can be for funny skits about arguements.

[horngeek]

Although I love Monty Python, I'd actually say that's a bad idea.

Because there are people who, believe it or not, have not watched any of Monty Python, and would be completely left out.

So, yeah.

[happyturtle]

Those people should pay a visit to an obscure little site I've heard of called Youtube.

[Dragero]

I must admit, until about a year ago, I thought monty python was a famous animal trainer.

I know, I know.

[horngeek]

My point is, basing an Avatar week on the works of one group is... iffy, to me.

Have a Comedy Week if you want Monty Python.

[Cobalt]

My point is, basing an Avatar week on the works of one group is... iffy, to me.

Have a Comedy Week if you want Monty Python.

That, too, is an idea that is good.

Let me see here...

'It' being Monty Python Week. Comedy Week.

But not this week.

This week is for absurd flags and stereotypes.

Next week can be for funny skits about arguements stuff.

There we go.

[happyturtle]

Comedy week seems waaaaay too broad.

[horngeek]

Comedy week seems waaaaay too broad.

Monty Python week is waaaaay too narrow.

I love the guys, but it's far, far too narrow. It would be like having 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' week instead of 'Elemental' Week.

[happyturtle]

I couldn't wait. >.>

[horngeek]

...

>.<

Well, the votes seem to be for Nationality Week anyway...

Of course, you could always do a Python avvie on your own initiative. I just don't like the idea of having a Monty Python week.

[happyturtle]

Whoever wants to manage it. Pick a week, start a thread, link it here.

[Serpentine]

:smallsigh: I am not going to do Nationality Week, since I refuse to identify by any nationality.
Casting another vote for Opposites Week, if it will matter.:confused:
Were you born somewhere? Do you live somewhere? Do you have a citizenship?
Unless you were a bitsa and/or you and your family are a tribe of sea-gypsies who never leave International Waters, the answer to at least one of those is "yes", and you do have a nationality regardless of whether you want to identify as it. Hell, even if you are a sea-gypsy, you still have sea-gypsy nationality...
In any case, noone ever said you had to dress up as your own nationality, I think, nor that you had to only dress up as one. If you really don't want to choose, go for all of them! :smallbiggrin:
Y'know, Nationality week sounds like it could easily be unintentionally and extremely offensive.I'll be honest, I was thinking of doing a really tasteless "aboriginal-themed" avatar to make fun of those ice skaters in the Winter Olympics and various Australians who think blackface is acceptable, but I realised that pretty much everyone in the world's understanding of it would stop at "really tasteless "aboriginal-themed" avatar" :smalltongue:

But seriously, what on Earth are you all expecting people to dress as? :smallconfused: I admit I'm not looking forward to all the American flags I'm expecting, but meh, whatever. Are you expecting to be accosted because of your American flags? I'd say choosing a more original design would go a long way towards avoiding that, but that aside, keep an eye out for it, report it if it happens, deal with it.

Finally, noone is forcing anyone to participate. If you don't like it, don't do it. I've sat out on some before. Just quit raining on all the rest of our fun when ultimately, because you won't do it if you don't like it, it will have exactly zero impact on you whatsoever :smallannoyed:

edit: If we're scrapping Monty Python Week because it's too narrow and a few people haven't seen it, then I veto that TCR Week or whatever it was called.

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

But Serp, what if you're an old spacer, who only makes it planetside for a few hours each month when the Roach shipments are due and the old freighter's in drydock for an engine refit? An' yar speech be peppered mit zalgorin' slang an' clicks from all tha contact mit non-Terran traders, an' ya register mit no planetary gov'ment a'cause o' the fact yar too far away from the stars ta even think about planets 'alf the time?

An' when ya do make planetside, yar either stone drunk or complainin' 'bout tha gravity, mhat mit yar ship bein' slightly less'n Earth-Standard....

[happyturtle]

I'm pretty sure Serp was being sarcastic with her 'veto', and that she has a good point to make. If you don't like a theme week under discussion, then either try to drum up support for a different theme, or don't participate. That's all. In fact, I'm going to go and add to the OP a request that people refrain from negative comments. Saying 'I'm not interested and wouldn't participate' is fine. Saying 'This choice sucks because...' and doing it in multiple posts is not.

As for Monty Python week, until more than 4 or 5 people weigh in on it, it's way too soon to say what will come of it.

As for Nationality Week, I'm an immigrant and have two nationalities to celebrate. And this makes me happy. :smallsmile:

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

No, I was talking about the whole everyone has a nationality thing. What about old drunken spacers? Then I started abusing apostrophes, and the rest is a blurr.

[happyturtle]

Your nationality is the galaxy, baby! :smallwink:

[Serpentine]

I'm pretty sure Serp was being sarcastic with her 'veto', and that she has a good point to make.Half-half. I am so not interested in a week based on a card game that it's rivalling Warhammer and economics for top space in my "not interested" list. I cringed a little when I saw it put up as a serious contender, but I didn't see any particular reason to protest it. But if you're going to accuse Monty Python of being too narrow or not popular enough (I may be wrong, but I'm pretty damn certain more people have seen something Monty Python than have played those games), then you definitely need to apply those standards and restrictions to other such categories.

Personally, I like the idea of a Comedy Week, but I would prefer it seperate to Monty Python Week. I would have totally different ideas for each, and I'd really like to see the forum invaded by Python references. At the most, I think it could be expanded to British Comedy Week.

[Ashen Lilies]

I think Monty Python week is strong enough to stand on its own. I mean, come on guys. It's a gaming forum. Monty Python (and the Holy Grail) references are practically mandatory.
That's my opinion, anyway.

[horngeek]

I suppose...

that said, for the upcoming week, this is immaterial anyway, unless we get twelve more votes for Monty Python.

[happyturtle]

I agree. I wouldn't participate in TCG week and I love the idea of Monty Python.

But, I don't want anything being vetoed from discussion. If a consensus is reached that the majority wants something as narrow as 'dogs wearing hats and riding bicycles', then it should happen. And if someone suggests it and the majority is uninterested, then it shouldn't.

I have added the 'please no negativity' clause to the first post. Everyone, please be respectful of other people's ideas, and please accept that there will be theme weeks that make you go 'meh'. I doubt there's a single person in the playground who could feel enthusiasm about all the theme weeks that have happened. So, enjoy the weeks that are really fun for you, and let others enjoy the weeks that are fun for them.

That is all. :smallsmile:

[Serpentine]

Wait, I might actually have a veto vote? Why didn't someone tell me before!
:smalltongue:

I'ma go make the Nationality Week thread now, unless anyone objects. Is there a particular date of preference? Elsewise I'll just make it a few weeks from now.

[horngeek]

Just a few weeks from now, I'd say.

...
...
...

I vote Critical Success/Failure Week for the one after that. :smalltongue:

Also, Kid Kris. Now that we know which week it shall be... :smallamused:

[Quincunx]

I like Monty Python but would prefer Comedy Week just so I can reprise my Lurkio avatar and drop double-entendres all week, or flounce in as the Empress Nymphonia from History of the World: Part 1, or strap on a proton pack (which, to double the references, was itself a strap-on in a previous life). . .possibilities!

[happyturtle]

Nationality Week (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=156026) is up. Thanks Serp. :smallsmile:

[GrlumpTheElder]

Monty Python week is waaaaay too narrow.

I love the guys, but it's far, far too narrow. It would be like having 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' week instead of 'Elemental' Week.

Just to chuck it out there, we did have an XKCD week a while ago... Now that was narrow.

I suppose it could be a hinderance that not everybody know Monty Python...

[Serpentine]

Just to chuck it out there, we did have an XKCD week a while ago... Now that was narrow.It was also quite a lot of fun. I'm quite fond of my xkcd avatar... And I'd be willing to bet a large amount of money that far more people at least know about Monty Python than know about xkcd.

[The Bushranger]

Yup, it was lots of fun. ^_^
http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq40/happyturtle-avs/xkcd/av-xkcd-dani.png (thanks Happy!)

[happyturtle]

It's actually what started me as an avatarist. I went a bit wild that week making avatars for people. :smallsmile:

[Serpentine]

Well, so long as we're reminiscing...

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h287/serpentine16/Avatarables/Serpentine/SerpentineXKCD.gif

[Lix Lorn]

...I wish I'd been here for that. XD I can do stick figures.

[Cobalt]

So. We're on the last few days of Nationality. Should we get a definite 'yes/no' on the next theme week sooner, or later?

[horngeek]

Well, let me do a vote for critical success/failure week. :smalltongue:

[happyturtle]

Monty Python week for me

[Emperor Ing]

...wait for it...

and once again, the obligatory contrarian has come for some obligatorily contrarian thoughts.

Monty Python Week is way too narrow

[horngeek]

I have to agree with Randomizer here.

[happyturtle]

Important: If you don't like a theme week under discussion, then either try to drum up support for a different theme, or don't participate. That's all. Please refrain from negative comments. Saying 'I'm not interested and wouldn't participate' is fine. Saying 'This choice sucks because...' and doing it in multiple posts is not.

*cough*

Other ideas welcome. :smalltongue:

[horngeek]

Well, then. Allow me to present the alternative, Critical Success/Failure Week!

Where, basically, you have your avatar... failing at something badly, or succeeding as something epically. Preferably in a humorous way. :smalltongue:

[Boo]

Just a quick thought:

If Monty Python week is too narrow, then what about cat-muffin week? Everyone is a muffin with cat ears.

It is all about how you present it, not whether people dress up as the same thing. Hell, you could be Graham Chapman covered in whipped cream and it would be Monty Python related, thus applicable to a Monty Python avatar theme week. There could be a dozen Arthurs, but not one of them would be the same (unless they really are the same). You do not have to reference a skit or a character with your avatar. All you have to do is have fun with it.

Saying something is narrow is an excuse. If you do not like the option, make/pick another. If you do not like the week chosen, do not participate (or participate with a degree of satire). If you do not know much about the theme and want to participate, look it up. If you think "oh everyone will be the same thing", do something different.

Think it.
Make it.
Share it.

I do agree that Monty Python Week could be expanded into "British Comedy". However, I believe that the Pythons deserve their own week due to the massive fame and influence they've spread throughout the world. Their work becomes less narrow if you include everything they've been in since the Circus closed. They'll forever be Pythons, so why not?

And yes, not every person on this forum has seen everything popular. I've never seen a single episode of Star Trek. Do you think I'll stop and say "Hey, you can't do that! Not everyone has seen it!" if someone suggests Star Trek Week? No, I'll let them on their merry way while possibly suggesting an alternative.

---------------

Although I like the idea of success/failure being a subject, perhaps changing it to plain, everyday things would be more entertaining? Making coffee, working a copy machine, eating your vegetables, etc. Simple things to win/fail at. I am a bit drained by epic things on the internet... my opinion might be biased. I know this is a gaming forum, and people like epic things, so why not set yourself up in larp gear and stand in front of a cardboard dragon? It's easy to blow up the little victories/failures. Ambiguous failures/victories are the best. Just look at Starbucks.

My vote goes to Monty Python Week if only to push those with narrow complaints.

...

I screwed up my sleep schedule, so I am awfully tired. If this doesn't make sense... it probably wasn't meant to. Good thing I didn't try to work in transitions.

[horngeek]

Ah! I never said EPIC Success/Failure.

Actually, I did. Bad choice of words.

Okay. Just your avvie, succeeding or failing at something in a humorous way. :smalltongue:

[Boo]

I wonder if I were drunk rather than tired... would I sound less harsh?

[horngeek]

A bit, yeah. But on the other hand, Happy's right (and why I'm not re-stating my issues with MP week. I've said it, no need to restate it). So, yeah.

...also, don't you mean punish, not push? Push just seems an odd word to place where you put it. :smalltongue:

[Felyndiira]

Alternate Artist Week; avatar requests for everyone =p.

Also, second Critical Success/Failure Week

[banjo1985]

Monty Python Week

Oh yes...oh so very much yes! :smalleek:
Elan dressed up in a safari outfit having a fish duel against Nale? How could I not? :smallbiggrin:

[Morty]

Monty Python Week for me.

[Emperor Ing]

Apparently people would enjoy the idea of an extremely narrow avatar week.

So while we're at it, let's try out...

Commanders of the USS Enterprise Week
Canon Sith Lords Week
Support Classes of Team Fortress II Week
Computer Operating Systems Week
Bravo Channel Reality Show Week
Baseball Hall of Famers Week

:smallwink:

[Dogmantra]

Apparently people would enjoy the idea of an extremely narrow avatar week.

If more people vote for it than any other week, clearly there are more ideas for a "narrow" week than any of the other options, making it not nearly so narrow.

And just for the naysayers, I vote Monty Python Week too. Though I could probably cook something up too.

[icastflare!]

I will vote for Monty Python Week

[Boo]

...also, don't you mean punish, not push? Push just seems an odd word to place where you put it. :smalltongue:

Nope. I mean push. If a person believes that something is hard to work with, they haven't looked at their problem from very many angles. The world is 3D, not 2D. Well, it's supposedly 10D, but let's not get into that theoretical debate. There are times when no matter the angle, the subject is quite narrow, but that isn't the case here.

I don't ever say "punish" because I would instantly start thinking of myself as a) a dominatrix, then b) having made a bad career choice as a male. I'd rather I think of Frank Castle, but no, my mind goes straight to latex and leather.

[Emperor Ing]

It's probably just me, but IMO, ever since this thread started, nothing except really lame weeks have ever started up. :smallsigh:

Saying 'I'm not interested and wouldn't participate' is fine. Saying 'This choice sucks because...' and doing it in multiple posts is not.

Seriously, if you think they're lame choices, suggest some nice broad ones that you think everyone will enjoy, and if they think they will too, they'll get in. And there's absolutely nothing stopping you from having your own theme week, like the digimon people during pokémon week.

[Lix Lorn]

If it doesn't appeal, don't do it. I'm not national enough to change my avatar, as I'm very fond of it, so I kept it. (Shrug) I may do Python. When/if we do Critical Failure/Success Week (My vote, ftr), I will definitely be tying myself/someone up.

[BisectedBrioche]

Weak Week: Your usual avatar at a fraction of its own power.

Monty Python Week
Comedy Week
Critical Success/Failure
Alternative Artist
Fairytales.

[Felyndiira]

May I suggest something else =p?

Worker's Week (needs a better name), wherein your avatars appear in a real-world (not fantasy) job most appropriate to their nature. e.g. a professor, a lawyer, a construction worker, a waitress, etc.

[Lix Lorn]

Worker's Week (needs a better name), wherein your avatars appear in a real-world (not fantasy) job most appropriate to their nature. e.g. a professor, a lawyer, a construction worker, a waitress, etc.
Mine is NSFW.
Nice idea though. ;P

[Felyndiira]

Mine is NSFW.
Nice idea though. ;P

Pssh, all it takes to make a NSFW avatar safe are censor bars =p.

I've censored a NSFW avatar this way and used it for a week or so. No one said anything about it =p.

[Ashen Lilies]

Monty Python Week.

Though it would be amusing to see someone make a critical success/failure on their Craft (Vegetable Carving (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable_carving)) check. Coffee's been done. (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070618)


Mine is NSFW.
Nice idea though. ;P

Classy.

[banjo1985]

Mine is NSFW.
Nice idea though. ;P

Even better :smalltongue:
I'm not sure how I'd participate either though, Elan is a clown no matter what setting you throw him into!

[Ashen Lilies]

Insurance Broker Elan.

[Lix Lorn]

Pssh, all it takes to make a NSFW avatar safe are censor bars =p.
Lol. Point taken. XD

[horngeek]

Well, if we went for that, I might just go Escape Artist with my current avvie... :smalltongue:

[Cobalt]

Worker's Week (needs a better name), wherein your avatars appear in a real-world (not fantasy) job most appropriate to their nature. e.g. a professor, a lawyer, a construction worker, a waitress, etc.

This. I vote for this. Forget everything else I've said ever. This.

Though it may just end up with me having something similar to what I had for Victorian week. But I don't care.

Worker's Week. +1.

[deuxhero]

But Raidou is already wears a school uniform?!


Just a bunch of random ideas.

Alternate Character Class Week
Epic Level Week
Wild West Week
Nintendo Week
Avatar Avatar Week
Super Smash Bros Week (everyone uses a Fox avatars)
Internet Reviewer Week (Avatars of AVGN, the TGWTG members, ect)
Meme Week

[MartytheBioGuy]

My votes will go towards-

Worker's Week
Epic Level Week
Alternate Character Class Week
Nintendo Week

I already have great ideas for each!

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

Fun fact, we had a Smash Bros week when Brawl was released. It was great! I've never seen so many awesome Kirby's.

[deuxhero]

Forgot

Kirby Hats Week (Kirby has eaten your current avatar...)

[Cobalt]

My only thing is, I can't think of ways to include my cross avatar in most of these week ideas. With a minimal effort in Paint, of course. God help me if I actually sit down and crack at Inkscape.

[Threeshades]

Internet Reviewer Week
Win. I'd go Linkara :smallamused:

[deuxhero]

And so was I, so I'll go... Finevoice if it wins.


Also say it outside the quote so the quote for it gets counted.

[SpiderMew]

Didnt we already have a Kirby Hats week? I thought i wasnt here when brawl came out and ive still got my Kirby. Unless i was here... Ive got a bad memory. Anyhoo if a kirby week happens im ready.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y214/SpiderMew/g29405.png

We could have a superhero-pokemon week, where people do what i did and mix pokemon and superheros.

Examples of others here (http://spidermew.infinitymugenteam.com/Amalgamated.html)

[horngeek]

When should the next week be? I'd say sometime this month.

[happyturtle]

Another one in the same month?

[horngeek]

Technically, the last week was starting last month. Maybe have this next one in the last week of the month?

[happyturtle]

Once a theme is decided on, I think there should be at least a month lead time for getting avatars made. What do other people think?

[deuxhero]

I normally do my avatars in a week of the announcement (except nationality week, computer issues and all), but I'm fairly serious about theme week.

[Dragero]

My votes go to:

Workers week (I would be a......lawyer! Oh wait...)
Critical Success/Failure Week
Kirby Week
Oposite week.

What? Kirby is great ;)

[Teddy]

Workers week (I would be a......lawyer! Oh wait...)

You could be the shoemaker who had to make that giant boot. :smallwink:

[MartytheBioGuy]

Which profession most closely corresponds to Druid? Wildlife Biologist?

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Could be, could be.

Or your druidness could be a safari tour guide, or a nature show host.

I'll toss a vote Worker's Week-wards.

[MartytheBioGuy]

M'Lord, Sir Fullbladder, I am glad that you are here. Picturing Tajacu as a safari tour guide was such an amazing experience, that I'll work on that this week whether or not Worker's week gets chosen.

You. Rock.

[Cealocanth]

I support
Nintendo Week

May I suggest:
Underwater Week(fairly self-explanitory)
Robot Week (with extra chrome!) (your avatar = a robot)
MMO Week (dress up your avatar up as a character from your favorite MMORPG)

[SpiderMew]

I support Nintendo and Robot week.

[icastflare!]

I support

MMO Week
Nintendo week.

[Dragero]

Robot week sounds interesting, I support it.

[Ravens_cry]

The challenge of rendering Ravens Cry as a robot gothic pixie intrigues this one.
Ravens Cry supports this motion.

[Dragero]

What would your hat hair look like? A clump of steel string?

[Ravens_cry]

What would your hat hair look like? A clump of steel string?

It's a hat. Ravens Cry is not. It would be segmented, like Octs extra arms, but tapering, down to a Terminator skull. Ravens Cry thinks she will do it in pixel art for more control and detail. *claps hands in glee*
It will be Glorious.

[Ashen Lilies]

[Mystic Muse]

Fine.

I vote Monty Python week to break the tie.

[Cobalt]

Gaaaaaah. I don't even remember what my idea for that was.

Or did I have one? Crud, memory fails me.

I'm tempted to say I'm voting for Critical Success/Failiure, then follow up with a one-liner. But I'm not that kind of guy.

[Cealocanth]

I have no idea what I'm going to do for Monty Python Week. Join the club, Cobalt.

[Mystic Muse]

The knights who say nee?

[horngeek]

Well, if you both vote for Critical Success/Failure Week, it ceases to become an issue.

...assuming one of you hasn't voted for it already. :smalltongue:

[Cobalt]

Eh, seeing as I haven't a clue what to do for Monty Python week (I swear, I had somethingas an idea when it was first brought up...) I might just... Turn my Cross to an angle and say "There. It's a critical failure." At least I'll have something.

[Cealocanth]

I'd much prefer Monty Python Week. In fact, it has my vote, just to avoid that Critical Success/Failure thing that's bound to end up a disaster.

[horngeek]

bound to end up a disaster.

Care to explain that?

[Cealocanth]

Care to explain that?

Well, the pun was intended...

Mostly because that's the last thing I want to do to my avatar...

[horngeek]

>.<

Then do Critical Success? That's why they're together. :smalltongue:

[Cealocanth]

>.<

Then do Critical Success? That's why they're together. :smalltongue:


Mostly because that's the last thing I want to do to my avatar...

What I said.

[Ravens_cry]

Dang, and I was looking forward to robot week.

[horngeek]

Ah. I see.

So, Monty Python Week, it seems, unless two more people vote for Critical Success/Failure Week.

[Cealocanth]

Dang, and I was looking forward to robot week.

Don't worry. I'll suggest it again after this next theme week.

[Blue Ghost]

I guess I'll be sitting out of this next week as well...

[horngeek]

I guess I'll be sitting out of this next week as well...

Have you voted already? If not, vote for something different if you don't like the current theme! Hasn't closed yet, remember.

[Blue Ghost]

Have you voted already? If not, vote for something different if you don't like the current theme! Hasn't closed yet, remember.

Okay, fine. I cast votes for Opposites Week and Alternate Character Class Week. If there's still room for nominations, I would like to nominate Eldritch Abomination Week as well.

[Cobalt]

I would like to nominate Eldritch Abomination Week as well.

Upon looking through my pictures folder, I spotted this thing hidden with the rest of my Iron Cross styles:

http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx188/JupiterCobalt/Assorted/TanIronCross-1.jpg

So I guess I'll vote for Eldritch Abomination Week, too, since there's no real chance for Workers anymore. And since I've already got something ready.


And no, I don't know where I got this from.

[Ravens_cry]

Don't worry. I'll suggest it again after this next theme week.
*Hugs*
Thanks.:smallsmile:

[Cealocanth]

Cobalt, lol at first sight!

What's an Eldrich Abommination?

[Ravens_cry]

Cobalt, lol at first sight!

What's an Eldrich Abommination?
An Eldritch Abomination (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EldritchAbomination), but with more bling.

[Cobalt]

Cobalt, lol at first sight!

What's an Eldrich Abommination?

This. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EldritchAbomination) I hope you didn't plan on spending the rest of your day doing stuff, because that links to TV Tropes.

EDIT: You dirty Ninja, you...

[Cealocanth]

So it might as well be "big scary monster week"?

[Cobalt]

Yes. But with a 25% chance of tentacles.

In any case, I'm liking my deformed monstrosity, so I'll use it whichever way we go the next week. Cross-on-Side is so yesterday.

[Tiger Duck]

I vote for Robot Week

[Dragero]

Workers week needs just 3 more votes!! C`Mon!!!

[horngeek]

I'll put in a vote for Worker's Week, as well. If I haven't already, of course...

[SpiderMew]

I'll support Eldritch Abomination Week

Looks like I'll be putting on my babyface, for Rogue Not-Appearing-In-This-Thread. :smalltongue:

I vote for Eldritch Abomination Week, so...yeah.

[horngeek]

At this point, the voting doesn't matter anymore, given that I doubt Critical Success/Failure (which is the most likely) will get three more votes without MP Week getting any more before the 'Week' thread goes up.

[Lix Lorn]

I'm pretty sure I've already voted, but if I haven't,
Critical Success/Failure week

You just want an excuse to get tied up, don't you? :smalltongue:

[Ashen Lilies]

You have, in fact, voted once. I remember it... distinctly.

I need an excuse?

Wouldn't it be simpler to just do all tied up week for the bondage aficionados? :smalltongue:

I'm changing my vote to All Tied Up Week.

Why not =p?

Hmm... Monty Python week?

I assume the spanish inquisition is going to be used by someone else. Wonder if I can make a witch beinging weighed.

Any appearances of a witch in OotS? Any pictures of someones back beyond 429?
