Oh God please No! It’s not the RobertT’s image should be in the poll, It’s that everybody else’s images should be in the non-competing category, and there shouldn’t be a damn poll at all!
The real question is do you consider this a challenge or a competition? For me the two are completely different, and if I’m honest I enjoy a challenge more than a competition.
I know I’ve given people the impression I thought of it as a competition after I said “I’ll Catch Up” to RobertT, but at the time I was simply upset and a bit pissed off with people.
As long as participants understands and except that the voting is not to determine who’s image is best, and they do not mind people like RobertT stepping aside and having their artwork voted upon by people that will most likely be voting for the image they think is best, then there is no problem. If a participant does care, like I do, then they should select non-competing.
For me purbosky and appie.123 captured my personal feelings Both I feel represented completely different things too. Also FYI I didn’t vote sorry about that!
As for why I haven’t personally entered anything, and also not posted any messages, it’s simply because it got to the point were it felt like everything I did was causing problems around here. You see 99 percent of the **** that has happened was by mistake, but as Gordi has pointed out so damn well with his images, I can see how it all looks like I planned it all, and nobody in their right mind would believe the truth anymore.
All I will say is I do not feel like the light at all, but I’m also too dumb to be the Grim Reaper! For me people like rarebit truly light up this place and inspires me and thus I think many others here as well so I hope to see him competing and posting his messages again soon.
I know I need to just ignore a lot of the other people here, and be more like RobertT and keep marching on! but he is a real artist and I’m just a jack of all trades and a master of none!
Personally I’m busy programming at the moment, and when the artistic mood strikes me again I’ll be back! I guess I owe a ship, so maybe I’ll do something like a nice big dolphin spaceship soon
I have no idea if this message is the wrong thing to do or not, but I guess it really can’t get much worse around here for me, I just hope I haven’t made it worse for others!!!
All the best,
Damien
Oh and here is the song I was listening to after I saw what had happened in the ‘Displacment’ challenge!
Seems like somebody proved the communication theory wrong, so it all worked out in the end!
