Try not to visualise it Ok, the ref has called a time out <warpus> good timing, we are about to announce the .. wait <cthulu> Warpus is sneaking up behind the ref holding a folding chair  That's playing dirty, warp! <warpus> the ref didn't see it <cthulu> He turns around and sees warpus Red card!  Or is that just in soccer? <warpus> soccer and contact chess let's call it a tie and announce the 3 words  <cthulu> Ok oddly quiet blender fans, we have words <warpus> the subject this time around is something everybody loves.. or hates.. or is... HIPPIES <cthulu> Phew, stinky patchouli What is taking place? It's a FEEDING FRENZY! <warpus> and where/when/what/why is this happening? an ALIEN INVASION <cthulu> Are the aliens eating the hippies? Are the hippies eating the aliens? Are they sitting down together for a cosmic potluck? <warpus> or are the hippies and the aliens competing @ a hotdog eating contest  ok, probably not that one, but you get it <cthulu> Maybe the food is eating both the hippies and the invading aliens That's a real twilight zone twist It's up to you!  ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß °°ÛÛÛ°°Ûh a l f t i m e Û°°  ±°°ÛÛÛ°°ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛ° ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ <warpus> I am sad to report that the blender half-time show has been cancelled for this particular blender due to bullshit reasons I will  not repeat <cthulu> The ref wouldn't let you back on the field  ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß °°ÛÛÛ°°Ûm o r e t h a n h a l f t i m e Û°°  ±°°ÛÛÛ°°ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛ° ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ <warpus> 10 fucking minutes left <hennifer> Ok I'm ready to start working on my entry! jk Hopefully next time Warpus distracted me this time around ;) <cthulu> he can be rather distracting when he asks if you want to see a Pole dancing show you need to know  what you're getting into  ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß °°ÛÛÛ°°Ût h e r e s u l t s Û°°  ±°°ÛÛÛ°°ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛ° ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ <cthulu> all right you weirdos I know you've all been very quietly patiently waiting for the judging  to take place warpus and I had words <warpus> sentences too <cthulu> a few numbers it was very difficult judging some excellent art, some strong use of the topics I will start with some honorable mentions, thanks for taking part: Blender OG Skrubly of P.u.P.! I anticipated the twist in your story, but it was a good one <warpus> a great story which should be eventually turned into a hollywood  blockbuster starring a bruce willis deepfake <cthulu> and Blippypixel of Mistigris who basically dropped his entry almost before we had finished announcing the words I'm sure he's made about 30-40 other artworks since then, 24 hrs ago that's just the pace he works at. but now we get to the podium in third place, the man is his own artgroup seriously, he just released a solo pack with a guest, go check it out  at 16 colours thank you Nitron of ... Nitron! formerly affiliated with Blur! your piece was tiny but tight all polish speaking of which, here's Warpus! <warpus> hey here's me! about to say things of great importance in second place comes an entry that told a harrowing tale of an alien  feeding frenzy in ansi format 24 years in the making  but actually only 24 hours in the making but sort of 24 years <cthulu> literally first ANSI in 24 years <warpus> a sub by fOnebOne of ANEMIA <cthulu> I was pulling for you to take first place but warpus forced me to listen to the voice of reason well, he yelled some Polish expletives in my ear but in the end we had to give first place to a joint effort by two titans Tainted and Avg representing Fire <warpus> they did send in slightly nicer dick pics, too <cthulu> fonebone's was loose and raw, but this one is polished and tight  (I'm talking about their artwork, not about their dick pics btw) so 3 points to Fire, two points to Anemia and Nitron's point to ... Blender itself! Thanks to all the participants!  <cthulu> there has been talk about launching an ANSI only Blender <warpus> a Blansder <cthulu> given the outcome of this compo, it's not entirely clear whether that would be entirely necessary <nitron> blockster? <cthulu> but if you like the idea let us know, I was going to call it the Cuisin-art  who knows if or when that will happen in the meantime though we have dates for the next plain jane Blender April 22-23  so put it in your calendar! I'll try to have the artpack out tonight warpus, any other announcements we have to make? any dates people should book for this summer's next lazapalooza? I'll take that as a no <warpus> it might be at some point in june or july of this year <Skrubly> Thanks for the honorable mention - to see FIRE take top spot really takes me back. Looking forward very much to the pack! <cthulu> Always a pleasure, Skrub! <tainted> woohoo! im going to celebrate with a joint and a burger, and wait for  the impending invasion <cthulu> peace out, blenderhedz!  ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß °°ÛÛÛ°°ÛÛÛÛÛa n d s o . . . °° ±°°ÛÛÛ°°ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ÛÛ° ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ if there ever is another blender, it will most likely be held: (if not sooner!) saturday, april 22nd - sunday, april 23rd, 2023 2:00pm - 2:00pm (est) #blender (on EFnet) please join us. - hennifer & warpus & cthulu <cthulu> it's hard to write blender infofiles with no irc logs  but I will find a way SAUCE00Blender 2023A infofile Cthulu, Warpus & HenBlender! 20230123ÿ4P¶IBM VGA
