joint and swap(tM) irc a
ctivities, comesa third, ultimate idea.  y
es, if you can read (?!) you've guessed by now..

THE BLENDER!!!!!!!!!

quickly!  before time runs out, this how a
blender(tM) event will be run:

1 - everyone will gather in
#blender (on EFnet)

2 - at precisely 7:30pm EST,
warpus, the host of this event w
ill explain
how the blender works.

3 - each person will come up wit
h ONE idea.  it can be in one of three
categories:  thing (ie. horse), acti
on (ie. fishing), and place (ie. wh
ite
house).

4 - everyone will submit
their ONE idea to the organizer,
who will make a
list.  this organizer currently is warpus
.  /msg your words to him.

writing down of the words might take up to 5 mi
nutes, so please be patient.

5 - the organizer will rando
mly pick THREE of the ideas (one
thing, one action,
and one place).  these three ideas will be announce
d, and put in the topic.

6 - your mission is to creat
e a masterpiece about the three picked ideas.
thereare a couple restrictions:

- no sumbission may be bigger than 150k zipped

- no more than four people may work on o
ne joint.
- a person may submit no more than three
entries (solo or joint).

your masterpiece may be pretty much anything
.  ansi/ascii/music/lit/vga/etc.
everything is allowed, as long as the r
ules are followed.

7 - the funpo ends at 10:00p
m EST, and that's when all the work is collect
ed.
warpus usually collects
all of it, unless his dcc fucks up (which happens
a lot:).  you *may* submit ea
rly if you wish.  check the topic line to see
who is collecting, just to be sure.

8 - a winner is picked, but th
at is usually not announced sunday night.  the
group that the winner is representing receives
a point, and the winner(s)
is/are placed on the "artist(s) of the week" list.

can be downloaded by hordes of eager
blendeners, blender supporters, fans, fanatics, den

hopefully you get an idea of the fun involved here.  bu
t along with that,
blender(tM) has numerous advantages
over the other irc events.

matter how well you do, how silly or serious you
are, because you won't be messing up anyone
's work except
your own =)
