Gizmo Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) How can that be your oldest post if its from 2009? Your oldest thread is older than that. Because search only finds a certain amount. So that's my oldest that the search function finds. Treat - 20pts. Check out the messy hair due to the nap I took inbetween taking these pics.

jayseven Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Gizmo; there's a bonus for 10 in a single post, you just about missed out on, I think. I also don't get/see your recreation of ReZ's UIG pic. You're supposed to re-create the pose yourself... that's not you, is it? I hate that new rule though (the one where players can suggest BISHes for other players to do). The reason I'm preferring this game to previous ones is that you're choosing the BISHes, so crap is cut out, and the whole game feels more official. __________ Objection! Gizmo's messy room isn't actually messy. I'm going to let the messy thing slip for now. Reiterating my point: I'd prefer there were fewer BISHes, but they were all really hard / interesting to do (along the lines of "A Captain Sparrow", "It was a picture of Hitler / It was a picture of you", "GMTV with 7:43 on the clock", "SuperYou", "Someone lying on grass face-down" - ones that actually involve effort/luck to get, and the pictures are interesting to look at). At the moment, there are too many BISHes, and too many of them are ones that are far too easily orchestrated and only lead to boring pictures. If I'm to be honest, all the ones which involve taking photos of posts off N-Europe are crap, and really uninteresting. Some BISH suggestions from me: - You, completely cross-dressed, in a public place. - You, at a Hallowe'en Party, not wearing fancy dress. - "There's a She Wolf in the closet; SOS she's in disguise" - "Pandora's Box" (has to be a metaphorical interpretation) - You, looking alienated whilst two couples kiss. - "Between two lungs" To your above two posts; I completely understand what you are saying - should BISH be about the creative response to the BISH, or simply the scavenging, who-can-find-the-most-stuff? Your suggested list would effectively make up half, or a third of a complete BISH, with that difficulty. Each individual BISH would require a fair amount of time to address. In previous games people seem to get fazed by the seemingly behemothic lead some competitors gain early on, so combining that with tasks too time-consuming would end up reducing the players too greatly. The current list was an attempt to both ensure all competitors had no excuse to finish with a tally of 0pts, while the points scheme tries to encourage people do go for the trickier, more thinkey ones. I also understand that too many pictures are boring, but nonetheless there are interesting ones. I would also argue that my facebook BISH photo album is definitely odd and interesting, and wholely different to the usual dregs of clubbing snaps that the majority of people put up there. However, your point stands. The main issue is that of having regular and interested people that are willing to commit time and attention to this. I have also said in the past that I wish to do more of a league system, where over a period of, say, three months, new and tricky BISHes are added weekly - and for that week only. Again, I'm testing to see how many people would be interested -- only having about 10 people to sign up usually means a lot less will cut down, so having a league running that long - no matter how interesting the pics may be - is more likely to lead to decay than to bloom. I would also argue that the new rule I've tried to integrate into the game is to encourage more interesting pictures. We all have photos that we think capture a real, pure 'wtf' or 'lololo' or whatever. But it is true, the rule relies too much on fascimilies rather than creation. Just to note; your suggestion "you looking alienated while a couple kiss" is not too distant to "a couple kissing" -- the "you looking alienated" is an interesting addemendum you have, considering you are therefore adding barriers to the creative freedom a BISHer actually has with the BISH. I do like some of your other suggestions, mind you. Also, because this is a competition, relying on individual interpretation is trickier to score, so it gives me a rest I forget what else I was going to say. EDIT: oh yah - the pics of the n-e ones are indeed a tosh and toddle, but realistically everyone can get them, and by the process have a little "huh!" moment at seeing their oldest post/thread, and perhaps enjoy feeling more mature :P Originally I was going to have "level 1" "level 2" etc sections of bish lists, progressively getting more and more difficult, but truthfully I wasn't sure how to pointerise it, and I had already decided that was the way this BISH was definitely going. Perhaps going back to "whoever has the most BISHes, regardless of difficulty, wins" is something to ponder on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayseven Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 That av/sig combo is magnifiqué! Nicely done rez :P ALTHOUGH! I don't like your silly hat picture. Perhaps I should be more specific and say YOU CAN'T BE THE PERSON IN THE SILLY HAT. So minus 20pts from your score. I'll add your new bish later. It's good.

Also, I used paper for the forum pictures because you can't see the writing on my hand when it's next to a monitor. I'll start on the harder ones soon.

SPAMBOT4000 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Yo Gizmo, got any pr0 tips for a non-cheat four storey card house? I can get the first storey down but then the top surface of the cards is too slippy to stand them up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Dunno. Mine seemed to work fine. Try using the overlap of the bases to rest one set against, and rest the next set against that. If that makes any sense. I did make a 5.5 storey house, but then I ran out of cards and and couldn't expand it anymore. Went searching for another deck but couldn't find any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayseven Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 i remember your room paj - it definitely is :P Another possible way of doing the bish; best version of the bish gets the most points, then it's scaleable from there.

Eenuh Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Got a few BISHes here, though there's more to follow (probably tomorrow or somewhere next week).

A mannequin - 30pts Your first post (that the search can find) - 10pts Your first thread (ditto) - 10pts A picture of someone else's BISH - 10pts A post you have thanked - 10pts The IRC room - 20pts an n-europe sign, outdoors - 30pts You and another n-e member high-fiving - 50pts You mimicking/restaging someone's picture in the UIG (please provide original image for comparison) - 40pts Also, new BISH!
