Well, I don’t think I’ll be getting anymore submissions. Phill, if you still have something you’re working on, email me (inkymondaystaff {at} gmail.com). Here’s who I have submissions from:

• Anbuu
• Anolibb
• Danalm
• Gaara

I’ll be closing submissions now. My judges seem to rather busy right now, I’ve only gotten scores back from two judges for Round II so far. I’ll keep you guys posted on the scores, I’ll announce a winner by the 31st/1st (hopefully). (:

FIRST! I don’t have officially written up results because I’ve just gotten my internet back as of 20 minutes ago. So you’ll all get the unofficial “Here’s how it is.” The gallery with the walls and scores will be up hopefully this weekend. x:

Our overall winner is:

Yina

Yina will be receiving a button set featuring all 21 walls along with a handmade plush Gameboy to display them on.

Our winning team is:

The Achromatic Team

All 10 participating members of the will receive a button set featuring the walls of their team members.

To those of you receiving spoils: If you don’t feel comfortable emailing me your home address, we can work out an alternative prize. Otherwise, please email me where you would like your prize sent to @ inkymondaystaff at gmail.com.

IN OTHER NEWS!

Let’s face it. This round we got a paltry amount of entries. From the sounds of it, a handful of you had entries but not enough time. Well, I still want those entries. For those of you that would be submitting late, you’ll be losing 1.5 pts to your overall score, but you’ll still be able to submit.  So please, if you see this, tell the others! I’ll be re-opening submissions until Tuesday, August 5, so roughly 4 days.

Theme: Self Representation

“With most of the internet hiding behind words, it’s sometimes hard to see the real person on teh other side of that screen in front of you. Sure, a person can tell you about themself, but there are times when images are much easier to understand. For this round, I want you to wall yourself. It can be a literal representation, or a more indirect route.”

The Rest

Also! Make sure to check and see if I received your entry! If I did not, make sure to contact me. I will have Round I results up tomorrow, I promise!

NEWCOMERS! Sign up before August 19th if you wish to participate in this round!

There was some minor downtime yesterday, so if you’re sure you submitted and I don’t have your entry, post here please and I’ll contact you about getting your entry in. Also let me know if you’re not planning on participating but I’ve only been contacted by about five people who won’t be getting entries in.

Ladies and Gentleman! GO!

Theme: Connotations

“Words are sometimes hard to describe. How would you explain honesty to someone? You would use metaphors, scenarios, maybe even experiences. Your goal is to illustrate one of the following words without using any direct representations or symbols (e.g. hearts for Love).”

The Rest

Timetable alterations may come at a later date if necessary, but for now, the due date is still July 29th. Also, anyone that uses the word “pornography” will get a special place in my heart. XD

And while it’s a while off, one thing I noticed last round was the inclusion of rather large logos in the signatures. You guys can squish them down, it’s ok. XD

NEWCOMERS! Sign up before July 28th if you wish to participate in this round!

EDIT: Q&A

I SUCK I’M SORRY!

Tonight or tomorrow, I promise! D:

Two versions of the logo have been uploaded for your downloading pleasure. I realized I forgot to add this to the Specs page, but if you could please add Pool Party Round I along with either logo to your wall signature, it would be appreciated. It will be mandatory next round, but since it was missed for this first round, we’ll let it slide if you don’t get it in.

Downloaded a total of 87 times

Also, do to some internet complications at home, the emails for uploading are going out late (i.e. today). Therefore the upload period will be extended an additional 24hours (PST) to give you all a chance to get your wall in. The next round will still start on the 10th as planned.

UPDATE: Emails have gone out! You should all receive yours soon. If you do not receive one, let me know!

Ahh good, my comp stopped spazzing. Silly old laptops. . . XD Anyways! Submissions are open. You have until 12PM (Noon) on July 11th to submit your walls. You can keep track of the time here: Pacific Standard Time.

In light of the growing popularity of widescreen walls, if you wanted to wall in a resolution of 1440 x 900, or something in thereabouts, then you will not be penalized. Just keep the area of the resolution larger than that of a 1280×960 resolution. (:

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Theme: Summer Solstice

“June 20th marks the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day of the year. Your goal is to wall this. How you do this is up to you; it can be literal or metaphorical. Keep in mind you won’t be getting a change to explain yourself, so make sure this reads as well as possible.”

The Rest

Remember! You can still sign up for the First Round! Applicants for the First Round will be accepted until July 8th. After that, you will be signed up for the Second Round.

The details of the first round have been posted. I mixed up the teams a bit for reasons I could go into but see no reason to. I’d appreciate no complaining please; I’m likely to kick you out or give you an angry face if you do. (:

There will be a FAQ page thrown up tomorrow. If you have any questions you’d like answered, post them here and I’ll answer them in the FAQ. The Spec Page will also most likely be updated some more tomorrow. Until then:
