Thank-you Lost Project

Post by **Wooster** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 2:23 pm

For those of us not in the Loop, Lost is Capcom's Community Specialist. Sort of like the go between the Fans and Capcom itself.

So far, Lost has fronted styluses for our "GS4 Prosecutor Contest", relayed our interview questions to the localizers (And Development team, but that's inprogress), given us the heads up on GS3's Localization 'before' Capcom's embargo ended, (That could technically get him in a lot of trouble if he got caught, me thinks), and recently he just provided us the contents of the GS3 Press Kit, which was how Croik was able to uploaod the trailer and the Offical Art of Young Phoenix etc...

This is above and beyond what anyone could've expected of anyone. While Lost has been doing a lot of stuff for us, we haven't really been able to return the favor.

Until now that is.

------

Here is what we're going to do. I'm going to upload a picture, and then I want you guys to sign it yourself, then upload your revision.

Thus Person A takes the Picture. Downloads it, Doodles, then uploads.
Person B takes Person A's Picture, downloads it, doodles, then uploads.
Person C takes Person B's Picture, downloads it, doodles, then uploads.

We do this until the picture is full of thank-you's and silly little pictures of appreciation.

If the picture doesn't get filled quick enough, then Croik will decide a cut off date to which we stop the editing and accept only messages and such. (She will decide this as likely I won't be back from my grandfather's funeral in time to make the call)

------

Now, as this is a surprise for Lost, it's a BIG no no if you inform him or talk about this. If discussion of this project occurs outside of this board you could easily be banned until this project is completed.

But, you say, all I have to do is log in and I can see this.

Wrong.

I've rigged this forum so only Registered Users who are not Lost can see this forum. So Lost can't see this as a Guest or as himself. He 'could' see this if he made a new account. But that's exactly why I need you folks to keep this a secret.

-------

Here's the image to start with. Doodle what you want, then upload in this thread for the next person to doodle on.

-Enjoy!

------
RULES:

1. MAKE A POST TO RESERVE YOUR SPOT FOR MODIFICATION. ANYBODY WHO TAKES ANYONE ELSE'S SPOT WILL GET THEIRS REMOVED.

2. KEEP YOUR IMAGE SIZES IN CHECK. KEEP THE SIZE SMALLER THAN THE 'VERY LOST PERSON' IMAGE. Try not to use images straight out of the game; not only are they unnecessarily large, your own effort is always a ton better.

3. Don't move people's work unless I okay it later on. Right now it's totally unnecessary.

4. People who violate rules must reregister their turns again.

5. IF YOU TAKE MORE THAN 30 MINUTES, YOUR TURN WILL BE INVALIDATED AND YOU MUST RESERVE AGAIN.

6. If you post an invalid copy of the card (i.e. it has a rule broken on it by someone else), it will be invalidated and you will have to re-apply for a turn.

Exactly! Now the next person uses your pic to sign.

One additional Rule folks. One rule and one suggestion.

If you're making a Text Only signing. Keep it to Size 12 of lower. If you've got a picture or something more creative involved as well then you can break the rule in the name of artistic license.

Next, if possible, avoid the JPEG format if possible. It's lossy and recompresses the image every time you save and makes it look really really icky. I'd Prefer PNG if possible.

You're going to need to attach stuff left behind to the final image. There's gonna be lots of it.

Okay, you may continue.

Post by **Kharl** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 3:56 pm

A little suggestion from me.
Right now, we won't know who is currently editing the picture. If there are more than one person editing it at the same time, that will be a problem. So I suggest that anyone who wish to edit the picture should post a reservation message first, then go edit the picture, and finally edit in your finished picture into your reservation message. Anyone who come after the first person must queue up and wait until the person right before him/her has posted his/her finished picture, then it'll be your turn. How's that sounds to you?

Post by **Wooster** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 3:58 pm

Hey Mikker, would you mind reposting that at half size? We gotta make room for the other signatures.

Post by **SilverWind** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 3:58 pm

Good idea, Kharl. I will be enforcing that with editing people's respective posts if a transgression is made.

<3

I agree. x.x; especially if someone's machine is running slow and they can't keep up.....

[WAY too big an image size. Try again below.]

Err, have to move some to fit mine in, sorry Payne

Erm, sorry, couldn't resist. Edgy

Thank you once again. Von Karma

Need a bigger canvas! Also, Reservation :F

Post by **SilverWind** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 4:10 pm

NEW TOTALLY ARBITRARY RULES

1. MAKE A POST TO RESERVE YOUR SPOT FOR MODIFICATION. ANYBODY WHO TAKES ANYONE ELSE'S SPOT WILL GET THEIRS REMOVED.
2. KEEP YOUR IMAGE SIZES IN CHECK. Yuu-Chan's drawing is example of an OKAY SIZE. Happiness Punch and Mikker's are examples of TOO LARGE.
3. Don't move people's work unless I okay it later on. Right now it's totally unnecessary.
4. People who violate rules must reregister their turns again.

-Lana

CONTINUE! The next person to contribute is Gerkuman, since he reserved. SO FOLLOW THE RULES.

[Start with the canvas WITHOUT the violation pictures. ~_~()

This is how far we got - HP needs making his smaller.

Post by **SilverWind** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 4:13 pm

As a point of reference, your picture should NOT be bigger than the Very Lost Person logo. Because that's just absurd.

Holy Hell · Post by **Holy Hell** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 4:15 pm

I like signing cards.

Reminder for everyone:
WAIT YOUR TURN.

Ok, here we go.

I think ~~Mikker's~~ Mr. Hell's next

EDIT: I take it that my pic is the right size then ^_^

Post by **SilverWind** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 4:19 pm

Because:

1. You didn't register your turn. You violated the rules so your turn was erased.

2. You posted a copy of the image with a violating image.

Happiness Punch! · Post by **Happiness Punch!** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 4:19 pm

Argh... *cough* it's her *cough '

I'll reserve after Holy Hell. So remove my picture, and I'll put it later.

Yuu-chan · Post by **Yuu-chan** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 4:20 pm

I have a question~
Can we make something on our own for Lost and post it here too? Or should we just stick to this?

Yuu-chan - I don't see why not. We certainly can't stop you. XD

I'd suggest you put it in a new topic in this forum.

Mikker · Post by **Mikker** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 4:23 pm

SW: I posted and had it corrected before the topic was locked - but was locked before I had a chance to post it. I hardly would think that would qualify for that.

Oh well, put me in then.

Yuu-chan · Post by **Yuu-chan** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 4:23 pm

Sweet! x3 Thanks.

RevFirst · Post by **RevFirst** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 4:24 pm

Question:
Can a user update his/her own space later on as long as it's not bigger than the previous one?

Post by **SilverWind** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 4:26 pm

Mikker, that doesn't matter. See the rules above. Your turn is invalidated if you post an image too large.

RevFirst, sure, I don't see why not-- as long as you reserve your turn again.
