The Swimming Beard Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Congrats to first and third place. I still can't believe the #2 winner got any votes, much less second place.

Soran Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I don't really think all the hate is really necessary to BIOCICLES ACTITON COMIC. Even if it might not be your favorite entry doesn't mean you should bash it. A lot of people enjoyed it enough to vote (or they just voted for it) so it got some support. Even if it doesn't look like it deserved that many votes as apposed to Strawberry Ice-Cream (which is one of my favorite entries), there are still some people who did think so. How would you like it if people showed so much hate for your own creations just because of how it looks or functions. So try not to hate on BAC. Anyway, thanks to all those who voted and congratulations to the other two winners, you guys did great!~Soran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one to cry about it.But that doesn't make it any less shameful in my eyes. =/-V- Quote Here are some actually great comics that I feel deserve a bit more attention as well.One Nation Under The Great Spirit - The Lazy Life of a Comic Maker 3.0 - 009 Makes Comics - Tilted - The Awesomepacolypse - Tavkorp: Since 2008 - Akano's Comics Well, see you never again, BZP.

Lord Kini Hawkeye Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) I'm not a comic maker, but shoot me now if #2 wasn't a joke entry. There's no way that was a serious entry - and while I honestly don't care what wins or loses it does make me cringe the sheer amount of support it got, no offence to the creator.Contests are supposed to be a test of skill and creativity, a way to show off your skills to the general population of BZP... it makes me sad to see a joke entry, much less one in second place.However, I digress, congratulations to the Winners!

You may not understrand, but clearly, others thought it was funny.You may not think it deserved to win, but in the context of a contest, it was chosen for second place, and thus, to all intent and purposes, deserves that place.I'm not trying to be defensive or anything.

Superkid11 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) (climbs out of hiding for a moment)Congrats to ALL the winners! I'm surprised this is only the second, it would've been one heck of a show had it happened back in the old days.Thank you for the clarification zak. I agree, it's a style of comic. That makes it no less of a legitimate entry.Personally' date=' it's not a huge deal to me. I'm not one to cry about it.[/color']But that doesn't make it any less shameful in my eyes. =/No, what is shameful is the kind of seriousness it takes to get legitimately upset or even disappointed over something like this. What is shameful is not even mentioning it in the three virtues when you covered the winners, just because you perceived it as a troll entry or low-quality. (If you wanted that kind of say you should've made yourselves judges instead of going for popular vote.) The sheer smug spite to say "congratulations to the first and third winners".Overall being a poor sport in a contest about Bionicle comics. That's pretty shameful.Think about how you're acting if you really care so much about Art III's reputation.

The Venom Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) In the podcast, we looked at the comic as what it was- a joke entry.It's not a well hidden secret that it's a joke entry,and I know enough background information to even say a portion of the votes were riggedbecause people think its funny to get a comic like that into the finals.That's shameful. Perhaps not by fact, but by my opinion, it sure well is.And you of anybody shouldn't act like you don't know what I'm talking about, Superkid.If you and the others want to keep defending it so stronglyby trying to turn the tables against the offense, then fine.I'm sure you love the laugh you get from it.-V- Edited July 6, 2012 by The Venom Quote Here are some actually great comics that I feel deserve a bit more attention as well.One Nation Under The Great Spirit - The Lazy Life of a Comic Maker 3.0 - 009 Makes Comics - Tilted - The Awesomepacolypse - Tavkorp: Since 2008 - Akano's Comics Well, see you never again, BZP.

Lord Kini Hawkeye Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I would just like to interject and say that TTV is, essentially, a privately owned podcast. WE get to decide what we air, edit out, and what we talk about. So before you start calling a descision "shameful" Let me just say that I know for a fact had it been covered in depth it would not have been a pretty coverage for the comic, for the same reasons as it WASN"T covered - Covering a "Joke" entry that has a fair amount of dislike on the podcast would've been a worse descision than NOT covering it.While not covering it at all might make us look bad, I assure you it would've looked far, far worse had we covered it.And that's a fact.I would also like to say that Everyone has their own opinions on what is and isn't good material. I, honestly, do not see Zakitano's comic as anything good. Maybe i just can't recognise the irony, maybe the humor escapes me, but I honestly look at that and see a bunch of poorly drawn MS paint pics entered into a contest.And that's why I don't agree that it deserves second place.However, there were obviously enough people who thought it did to give it second, and thus while myself, Balom, Venom, and others can dislike it all we want, we still have to face the facts.That does NOT, however, mean we cannot express our distaste, no more than it would stop you.

Superkid11 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Yeah you're right, all things considered talking about it in the podcast might've been funny but overall... yeah wouldn't have ended well. :PI realize after taking a nap the irony in saying you guys need to stop being so serious when I launched into a huge rant on shameful behavior. Zaki made her case just fine and I didn't need to come in and talk big and fan the flames. I apologize for that.Back into my hole I go~ Edited July 7, 2012 by Superkid11 Quote Sukid's Stream of ConsciousnessDoes choking on bionicles make you think of Bionicle?I've retired.

-Windrider- Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) I've just about had it with the arguing. First there was that altercation before Get a Clue, and now this topic. Look. BAC won second place. If you don't like it, fine, but don't come in here trying to provoke things. Don't go calling it a joke entry, either. That's flaming. If you sincerely thought it was, then you should have PMed me or Ziko about it after it was entered, before the poll was put up. Let me tell you this, though: the entry is legitimate. It breaks none of the rules; if it did, we would have disqualified it.Yes, I am aware that the entry was advertised off-site. We can't control what happens outside of BZPower; we can't stop someone from supporting an entry. And why would we? That's akin to favoritism, and we, as contest hosts, need to remain neutral. No, it's not unfair; everyone is allowed to advertise his or her entry both on BZPower and off, but it can't even be proven that the author is affiliated with the site. None of this means the votes were rigged.So, stop. Posts from this point on need to be congratulatory only. If you can't accept the results, don't post.

Enough talent to make great comics, then used to make terrible ones.But congratulations to winners and especially to you, Soran! Your comic-making skill (especially with graphics) amazes me again!Edit: I made it very clear that posts after mine needed to be congratulatory only. That was the final warning.
