Week 1 Results

When I decided to make Week 1's challenge a haiku-writing contest, I assumed picking the bonus category winners would be quick and easy. After all, each entry could only be seventeen syllables!

Whoops.

I certainly wasn't expecting 58 participants to send entries my way, many with multiple entries and some with dozens! (I'm looking at you Ragashingo!) That'll be the last time I understimate the denizens of DBO. Choosing just a few winners from among the many, many fantastic poems was truly a daunting task. Still, I promised bonus points and you know me; when I make a promise...

-------
"Best" Serious Haiku: TTL Demag0gue

Robot travelers,
Gears and circuits moved through time.
We are greatly Vexed.

I love the twist on the Vex name. 2 points to Demag0gue!

-------
"Best" Funny Haiku: thebruce

DBO Haiku?
D, E, S, T, I, N, Y!
Now that's poetic.

I laughed. Seventeen clever syllables earn the bruce 2 points!

-------
"Best" Overall: Mr Daax

Be Brave Guardians!
Reclaim our lost Golden Age!
Destiny awaits!

There were a lot of similarly-themed entries, but this one stood out the most to me as a concise, yet descriptive summary that wouldn't look out of place on a Destiny poster. 4 points awarded to Mr Daax!

-------
The other 55 of you each get 1 point just for participating. :)

The Leaderboard

I've updated everyone's point totals on the DBO Challenge Leaderboard, which you can find at this handy URL:

http://destiny.bungie.org/dbochallenge

(Please check the leaderboard and let me know - via email - if I made a mistake and didn't award you points.)

Mr Daax is currently in the lead, obviously, but only barely. We have plenty of weeks to go until Destiny's release and tons of points to distribute in the meantime:

Week 2 Challenge: Favorite movies in Paint.

Deadline: 6:00pm EDT on Tuesday, March 26th.

Last week's challenge was a Destiny-themed literary exercise, so this week's will be off-topic and visual. Here are your instructions:

1. Use MS Paint to draw a scene from one of your favorite movies. (If you don't have access to MS Paint, you can use any equivalent, simple art program.)
2. Post your masterpiece as a reply to this post. (Optional: Don't include the name of the movie - let people guess!)
3. Pick someone else's entry and post a reply to it with an MS Paint drawing of a different scene from the same movie.

I'll be out of town most of the week (PAX!!) so there will not be a judging portion of this challenge. Instead, you all have an equal shot of maximizing your point earnings:

Available Points:
1 participation point for posting one of your favorite movies as an MS Paint drawing.
+1 bonus point for posting a drawing in response to somone else's entry.

You can each earn up to 2 points total this week. (Feel free to post as many drawings as you want, however.)

Remember, you don't have to be a talented artist to enter. I fully expect to see crudely drawn lines and cheesy stick figures - it's MS Paint, after all!

This week's entries must be posted (in this thread) by 6:00pm EDT on Tuesday, March 26th. I will then update the leaderboard and post a recap with the Week 3 challenge. Have fun!

Great choices on the winners. TTL Demag0gue's Vexed was a brilliant use of the faction name and I liked thebruce's D E S T I N Y a lot as well. And of course cheers to Mr Daax for the overall win. :) I'm also pleased as punched to get "honorable mention" :p

This next challenge is going to be painful for me. Painful yet fun. My lack of graphics skillz make even the most advanced graphics program about as useful to me as MS Paint.

…it's not Harrison Ford's eye! I went to look this up because I was sure it was meant to be Rutger Hauer's eye, but it turns out I was wrong about that, too. Interesting that the actual eye in the shot belongs to that of an effects guy, though!

Oh, interesting! Blade Runner's one of those movies I always go back to at least once a year but I never really thought about who's eye it was. That whole opening sequence with Vangelis' score is just jaw-dropping...puts you into a whole other world.

If the title doesn't help you, then here, let's try this quote: "Throw one at me if you want, hash head. I've got all five senses and I slept last night, that puts me six up on the lot of you."

I suck so badly at MSPaint. It's an adventure in failure. Because that's supposed to be a mailbox with an ugly eagle statue on it. ...Or is it a falcon?

I'm trying to think of scenes for replies to the other movies, but I just keep thinking of more scenes from this one.

I don't think you have to. Yours is clearly going to win.

Cody: You are wonderful!
Mercury: Thanks, I've worked hard to become so.
Cody: I admit it, you're better than I am.
Mercury: Then why are you smiling?
Cody: Because I know something you don't know.
Mercury: And what is that?
Cody: I've been using the trackpad to draw all this time!

(Cody uses the mouse or a wacom tablet to draw something super great.)

Mercury: You are amazing!
Cody: I ought to be after 27 years.
Mercury: Oh, there is something I should tell you.
Cody: Tell me.
Mercury: I've been using the trackpad too.

(Mercury uses the mouse and surpasses leviathan.)

I could have done that.

I hoped that this would end up needing less actual drawing - but I realized that no matter how much snow I wanted to put in, it needed at least the OUTLINE of an organism or two to make sense. :)

I'd rather not go into it too much on the board. Let's put it as absolute politely as possible when I say that the romance subplot, specifically the way it plays out as Deckard doesn't allow her to leave and how it progresses from there, seems to many people to be a little, ahem, forced.

My interpretation of the scene relies heavily on which version you watch as well as a fridge horror element to it. Mine is an arguably more horrific interpretation, but still. Going into details tends to start problems for many people, and I'd rather not start something like that here. And depending on which version you watch, it's really spoileriffic. So, um... yeah.
