strange that.

It's been dying little by little every year.

Example: It's pretty much dead now. Yes, there is a playerbase.. but compare it to that of 6+ years ago.

Just was bored and doing some browsing on the web and came back across the forums.. figured I'd throw that in. Probably won't even remember to come back to see if anyone replied.

I don't disagree with you that the playerbase has dropped in numbers compared to 5, 10 years ago, that much is obvious, but if anything the player count has actually seen a slight rise in more recent times due to the influx of iPhone refugees among other smaller possibilities. I think the feeling among players is more one of stagnation with the lack of advances than one of Graal being dead.

Well it doesn't really matter the year, I just choose 07' because observer mode came out and prices sky rocketed. But I agree, had to put a year though or maybe i should leave no 1998 - and have a grave dug for it waiting.

I almost thought this was something official... Sounds good though.

Anything I do is official.

I meant something done by the iClassic staff. I guess I should know by now that they're too lazy to do something like this.

Yep, but when you want to have fun on a game, sometimes the players have to do it them selves.
Anyway, it should be fun, join in. :]

I want to enter! But the gralats mean nothing to me. Can I exchange for USD?!?

[Devil_Lord2]

It depends, you'll probably have to ask Stefan to convert the Gralats over to USD though.
As for programs, you could make a picture out of text which would be pretty cool, or if you can make a clay bust of your self I'm sure that would give you 'kudos' as well.

You don't need to use any specific programs, but I heard gimp.org and paint.net has some nifty programs.

Haha, good one.

[callimuc]

Can you also sprite them or do it like you did in your example?

[Devil_Lord2]

Currently you can sketch, video, draw, do it digitally, make a cake, clay bust... modules.. go up to your neighbor and yell "Look at me I'm from Graal!" ... okay maybe not that last one.

If it has to do with art, excluding Audio, you can probably do it if you can represent yourself, and how you are perceived on Graal, and have it seem like it is for Graal it will most likely be accepted. Don't forget the other information and short sentences. :]

I was thinking about doing another example using text to make a face but so far it isn't going well.. I wanted a sword, face, and body. :[

If it has that WOW factor, you'll do great. :] If not, it may be judged by three guys, three girls, three age groups and one amazing one.

Which would be seven lanes, if you can think of it as a row and column graph. (Not 10)
But if someone else, like iDawg, comes through we may have even more winners. I'd love to have many if I could, but farming by my self, and even with friends for five days have been tedious, long, and boring. :]

Hopefully well worth it though! I can't wait to see the creativity.

Unless you are doing cosplay and are going to beat them up afterwards, or ask to buy a hat... I'm not sure how it would work out. :]
