Hahaha, how freaky would that be? Even better if it was written in the blood of 7 virgins. That's the stuff horror movies are made out of..

I think you should sit him down, talk to him in a calm and understanding manner, kick him in the groin, and run for your life.

Time to bring out the big guns. Here's a request that will be interesting, for the simple reason that I will provide just one word, and an abstract noun at that..

Draw "Melody"

Good luck!

Can I do Part 2?

It's only 7 seconds, so I'll get started now, and if it isn't OK, well, I'll just let it die...

Level 14.
My favourite level until about 28..

To be honest, I highly doubt that that is true. He will not actually die from the lack of tablet. Also why did you emphasise that 'he'?

Maybe its just me, but I think she might to further than most of the previous winners..She just has something about her..

Still wanted Diana to win though..:(

I would begin to get very freaked out, as "fish1892" is not the sort of thing one is likely to call out in public, unless you were (a) Stalking me (b) Having a fun game of "Call out an animal, accompanied by a random year, in public". Both of which would slightly make me confused...

Yeah. If he lived too much longer, he'd have been burnt as a witch, I'd say..

But yeah, a genius indeed..The Mona Lisa isn't anything special though, IMO..

Congrats! I saw the name (Corey Griffin), and recognised it, but couldn't think from where, until I saw that he programmed Camp North!

Once again, well done!

I've never used Fireworks, but if it's anything like normal programs, just click on File>Save As and then change the file format on a drop down menu..

Here is a screenshot from MSPaint. As I said, I'm not familiar with Fireworks, so it may be completely different..

To accompany Corky's post of the theme, here's the banner and buttons..

Irish Civil War

This is a short story, set during the Irish Civil War">. The original draft was 455 words long, but I edited it a bit in the process of typing it onto here, so it may be a bit different..

Silent Killer
Night rolled over Dublin. In a quiet road, away from the ever present booming of the gunshots in the distance, a Free State sniper lay in wait. He had been there since the morning, and was desperate for a cigarette. It was far too risky, however. That would reveal his position, and might prove to be fatal. Had his brother been there, he would have taken the risk. His brother had always been a risk taker. But his brother was gone now. He had become corrupted by the media, and joined the Republicans.

Slowly, the sniper saw a waft of smoke drift over the parapet on the opposite roof. Instinctively, he raised his rifle, and shot. This gave away his position, so he quickly darted to the other side of his parapet.

Quietly, he watched an armoured car, one of his own, drive past, and saw a civilian, but also an informer, point towards the enemy sniper's position on the opposite roof.

As an instant reply, two shots rang out, and the man in the armoured car, and the informer, dropped to the floor, mortally wounded. The man in the car draped out of the turret, blood oozing from his chest. Then, the sniper recognised the man in the car. It was Sean, his best friend in the company. It felt like a shot to the head. Filled with rage, he aimed at the enemy on the roof, and fired.

He heard a muffled cry, and a thud as the man hit the roof. The sniper breathed out, and rested, while the opposition presumably cleaned his wound. Or was he dead? Only time could tell. He reloaded his rifle, and prepared for his next attack.

After a couple of minutes, he saw the tip of a cap raise above the parapet. Without aiming, the sniper shot at it straight away.

The cap dropped to the floor below. Followed by the opposition's rifle. A great sense if elation and relief overcame the sniper. His hours of suffering had finally been worth something. At the same time, he felt wrong for rejoicing at another man's death.

He climbed up to stretch, standing before a row of chimney-pots. the gazed around, admiring the darkening skyline, with orange clouds silhouetted against the blue sky.

A split second before it punctured into his skin, the sniper saw the head of his enemy drop below the parapet. The bullet pierced into him at nine hundred and seventy-six miles per hour, cutting into his lungs at breakneck speed. the wound was fatal.

He dropped to the floor, slowly stumbling over the parapet. As if in slow-motion, he descended to the floor, and the collision made a dull thud, accompanied by the crack of his neck breaking in two.

The life was sucked out of him, and the blue of the sky faded to black.

I am friends with Dark-Muse (he introduced me to NG) and TheDeathReaperIsBack (I introduced him to NG)..I probably know other people, but I don't know that I know them...

It's up to you really..you yourself know what you're like, what your interests are, etc.

OK, no need to repeat it...

If you look at the top 50 in the Flash portal, 1-41 are all marked as scoring 4.36 (once you go on them, some are maybe 4.35). Why is 4.36 such a special number? Is there a mathematical, or logical reason why good submissions settle here?

I'm just curious as to why this may occur...

To quote Frankie Boyle:

"Look, we appeared to have landed in 19th century England. Oh wait, it's Glasgow in the 21st century."

Not sure if those were the exact words, but it was something similar..

But I suppose Ireland's no better; up until about 20 years ago, many Irish people were still riding on a horse-and-cart..True fact, I live there...

I think what he means is that if you have it written out, it will take no time to post, after reading then last post. However, if you read the thread, and then write your reply, the round may have ended by the time you post.

Sorry if my explanation of that wasn't too good..

I'm pretty sure this is correct, but since that isn't actually the name of the movie, may I suggest "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".

I'm not sure if that will mean that I'm right, or what..

Quite a lot of vaguely exotic fruit: Watermelon, mango, grapefruit, etc.

Watermelon tastes OK, but it's just too messy and not worth the effort..
Mango is just odd...
Grapefruit is far too sour, or bitter, or something else I can't put my finger on..

I have the exact same one, and I can confirm that it can work the exact same as a mouse, it can do everything you need a mouse for, it you configure it right, although I find a mouse easier for everything except drawing, tbh.

No. When a post is deleted, there is no notification of it. There's nothing you can do, other than try to improve your posts.

What does level have to do with artistic skill? Luis is only Level 2, and he's one of the best animators on the site.

Well, you can't start a collab, but you can join one. What collab to join is your choice, and can be dependent on your interests and skill levels. It's all up to you. Just keep a look out for collabs here, in the Flash forum.

Good luck.

WOW! That's really awesome!

Here's something I quickly whipped up in a few minutes...

That's very true, and applies especially to WI/HT?, but also sometimes General, Flash and others.

Of course, often, if it's a recent thread, and requires a long answer, there is a chance that 2 answers will be very similar if 2 people write replies at the same time... But if it's anything over 5 or 10 minutes difference, there's certainly no excuse.

Thanks for clearing that up, Malachy.

I was directed here by Renae.

Here's Superman.

Sorry, you need a Batting Average of 3.5 and a solo submission over 3.5 to host a collab. You haven't even got a submission.

Collab Rules

You can PM a mod to request special permission to host one..

Good luck..
