  this week's blender was conducted from london, ontario, in the home of my
  parents.  because i wasn't using my regular internet account, (i was actually
  using aol.  blech!) i had a hard time getting on.  it was 11:58am when i
  finally joined #blender2000, and lo and behold:  there were 25 people there,
  including a bot, and 3 ops!  so, thanks go out to vader, sinister 6000, and
  cthulu for doing a great job setting things up, and filling in while i was
  hanging with my grandmother. =)

  i think you'll see from the results here that we've had another great
  blender.  lots of ansi, this time around, and no hirez or rip for a change!
  pike, where are you? =)

  it seems that #blender's been taken over again.  i don't have any idea who.
  it's been +i for almost two weeks now, with no clue why.  don't ask me why
  the blender is such a target.  i must have enemies in the government!  any
  help in getting the channel back is appreciated.  until then, check in
  #blender2000, or ask in #ans.

  at this moment, the word-submission thingie on the webpage still doesn't
  work.  until it does, we'll be continuing to gather words on IRC just
  before the compo, but once the webpage works, you'll be able to submit
  words anytime you want.

  if anyone can help out with a simple perl script (no CGI), email us!

the words this week are:  WIZARD OF OZ, JUMPING, URANUS
-------------------------------------------------------

ansichrist (sodapop) -    fe-ns.ans (ansi) - good ansi, especially the
funk-e    b2k font!  the wiz looks
  really young, is it a portrait of one of
you guys? =)

ansichrist (?)   -    ns-ds.ans (ansi) - the way you've set this
dying soulup reminds me of a sal-
vador dali painting.  you guys were the
only ones that made the whole planet jump.

big yellow man (poffelipoff) -  bym-wiz.ans (ansi) - you've got an excellent
* 2 *  style.  you must work
for 12 hours straight on these entries!
..and i think you're the only guy who
doesn't go for humor. =)

catch22 (glue)     - 22blends.ans (ansi) - the face on this one is
excellent.  a lot of
expression on it.  i wonder how many people
i get asking me "you have a new bbs?"

cthulu (mistigris) -   ct-oeo.it  (track) - haha, this one made me
crack up.  you guys are
the kings/queens of cheesy theme-songs.

emporer penguin (?) - bucfuttr.ans (ansi) - well, it's not a stick-
man with a giant penis,
at least.  close though. =)

goatboy (sane)        -   go-wiz.ans (ansi) - goes to show that for
some people, ansi is just
like riding a bike - you never forget, and
it's got cool streamers from the handlebar.

grymmjack (fokus) * 3 * - !gj-b05b.it  (track) - excellent track, i can
  totally imagine this
being the soundtrack to some psychotic
"adventures in oz" tv show!

leo (black maiden) -      wiz.ans (ansi) - too bad you didn't get a
chance to finish up all
the shading.  still, this is a really cool
effort.  i like your style.

luminator (sodapop)  -  lum-wiz.exe (shockwave) - haha, this is
hilarious.  pretty
good silhouettes, too.  the only complaint
i have is that the "jumping" connection at
the end is kind of a stretch. =)

ministar (?)   - minblend.ans (ansi) -  hehe, it's kind of hard
  to see the jumping action
in this one too, but that's a nice-looking
scarecrow you've got.

mr. wrong     (fokus)        - us-b2k90.ans (ansi) - gasp* it's not a rip!
sinister 6000 this is the first actual
screen capture submission we've had.  i
don't know how you managed to chat with this,even just long enough to capture it.

nosegos (ice) * 1 *          -  ng-b2k1.ice (ansi) - this is a really cool ansi,  in a style that you don't
   see everyday.  what clinched first place
is the way you used "jumping".  brilliant!

slash (chaos energy group)   -   sl-b2k.asc (ascii) - i like these fonts,
  especially the first one.
   good job, getting three big fonts done
by yourself.  tres bien! =)

ssunrise (?)        -2000.it  (track) - it's too bad that you
  couldn't squeeze this one
   down to the size limit, cuz it's amazing.
oh well, i must treat everyone equally!

the winners are:

  1st (3 points)  nosegos (ice)
  2nd (2 points)  big yellow man (poffelipoff)
  3rd (1 point)   grymmjack (fokus)

the standings are:

  9 - poffelipoff
  5 - sodapop
  4 - black maiden
  3 - cia
  3 - ice
  2 - acid
  2 - eclipse
  1 - fokus
  1 - itp

 has your entry been mysteriously been left out of a blender pack?  email
 it to me asap.  it will be included in the next pack, and i will try to
 figure out what exactly happened.  please do not bitch at me, please do
 not make threats, and please do not insult my parents.

 i want to make clear, the point of the blender is to take the three given
 words, and create something about them.  using pre-created work is not the
 point of the blender.  any pre-created work will be disregarded when i
 judge the entries.  if i find out that you're trying to submit old work
 as something new, you'll be disqualified, and your group will lose any
 points that entry got you.

 the idea you submit may NOT be anything which might be of benefit to you if
 picked.  example: you run a board named 'extraterrestial mongolian earwax
 factory'.  the idea you submit can't be extraterrestial, mongolia, earwax, or
 factory.

 please do not name your files: blender.*, blender2.*, us-blend.*, or
 any variations of those filenames.

 all entries must be submitted with the file ENTRY.FRM, filled out with your
 information.  it just makes it easier to keep track of people.  to get the
 file, type !form during the competition, or get it in the RULES section of
 our webpage, any time.  once you're ready to submit, fill out the form,
 and zip that and your entry into a file called yournick.ZIP.

 you may submit any number of files, but they must not exceed 150k zipped,
 with the entry form.

 the files you submit may be anything.  ascii, ansi, gif, s3m, lit, rip, etc.

 joints are allowed, with up to 3 people on a team.  why?  to make things
 generally more fair, and to make judging easier for us.

 your masterpiece can be a board ad, or a logo.  it can be anything.  it can
 even be a config.sys file.

 you can submit entries any time during the compo.  if one of the judges is
 on irc, you can dcc it to us.  you can also use our ftp site any time.
