Art Call

[Ben Vaughan]

Kiddies, boys, and ghouls I need art.

Specifically I would like to see if, in the space of the next five days, some of you clever art-monkeys can make a NOTR Haunted House Logo to fit 1X2 inches, in Black and White Lines, no shading or color please.

Why? I have a secret project. Why is it secret? Because I might not pull it off. But if I do I promise that all those who submit a design will get a cookie. Unless 300 of you submit designs, then I will ask you to imagine the most awesome cookie evars and then imagine that I gave you that cookie.

This is a challenge for all of you. Send me designs in digital format to [e-mail]

Dude. Ben. Please don't spam all of the OOC boards with your 'Art Call' posts.

I've deleted all but two of them. For the 2nd time.

Please be respectful of the games and don't spam every sphere's OOC board with this request.

Thanks,

Dude. Chris. Not everyone even knows this board exists. Or plays vampire. It happened twice because you didn't tell me you did it the first time. PM man, or email. I assumed there was a posting error.

Do you have a better 'cross board' post suggestion?

And it isn't spam; there is a real purpose in what I am trying to do. Had you received a complaint as to my good works?

Hence why I left it on the general OOC board and here. However to know it exists they need only read. If they aren't planning to read then they won't be reading anything you've posted anyway.

You have two seperate PMs in your inbox from both incidents.

Cross posting is generally prohibited on the scale you've done. I generally let it go if someone posts on their 'home board' and the general All OOC. But six posts of the same thing on six different boards is overkill. Hence why I moderated the inappropriate posts. Cuz I'm the moderator. I didn't censor anything, they still exist in a couple of places - just not all the places.

If NOTR wishes, those mods can post Announcements, which auto-post to ALL boards. Since they didn't do that, then they didn't wish to use that power to post all over the place. This would seem to make sense since there are many other important threads related to logistics for the Haunted House this year already. I would not personally suggest that a call for art go to the whole world, but maybe they think it is just *that* important. If so, they have the power. The fact that they didn't use it on your behalf is telling enough for me to derive that they didn't think it was that important a subject in current context.

And it isn't spam; there is a real purpose in what I am trying to do. Had you received a complaint as to my good works?

It's not really for me to judge if there is 'real purpose' to your posts or not. Rather I judged that NOTR didn't really think it was that big of a deal (or they would have posted it themselves, or elevated it to an announcement or any of a dozen other things).

Hopefully that helps.
