Those huge sumo sacks look awesome. Is there a way for us to get them? Like, are you able to buy them on their website? If not, you should give one of them out as a special price for the best submission on pico day or something.

It seems to me that we need mroe time to creat a better collab. Sending this message that we are in desperate need of new/ better work "though I assume many will act as if the collab were desperate" then that's just going to lead to more rushed work. Why not Extend the deadline to a later date, maybe even when Metal Gear Solid 4 actually comes out! I know I'd like to have that connection between a collab and a game. Beyond that is sends a message that PEOPLE HAVE FAILED TO ANSWER THE NEWGROUNDS CALL, and a message that it is indeed time to put more work into the thought process of creating, annnnnnnnnd editing animation!

Are you serious? You think 2 months isn't enough time to make a 5-30second animation? I could make a full shaded FBF animation with a great voice acting and a nice plot in that time but I dislike MGS. I don't think the problem was the deadline.

Only 10 days left. So, did you guys receive any good parts ever since you made that post, Stamper? And in case you don't get any more good parts, will the collab be really short but good or long but with a lot of bad parts?

It proves that a game or a movie doesn't have to be incredibly great made to be good and/or famous. The idea behind it was very good and refreshing.

That's where you are wrong. Whenever I see a review it's mostly not even 2 sentences long. Mostly it's something along the lines of "cool", "gay", "Liked it", "that was horrible", "NARUTO IS COOL".

There are a lot more of these than good reviews.

Well if you insulted his family you'd get your account deleted for sure. I don't advise that though because it probably would come along with an IP ban.

Wade, my personal opinion about this would be; Delete all of the accounts of the spamming and award rigging clocks. Even the ones that are just spamming the forum. If you don't put a stop to that there will be by far more spam and award rigging, the only way to gain their respect is deletion. Don't let them mock your wife. Your children. Compile a small list of the clocks that need some god damn respect and just click the small "delete" button.

They deserve it. They deserve worst. Making fun of you is ok but making fun of your family, that's a kick right in the balls. Don't let them play with you Wade, show them who's the boss and show them why.

What they did is in no way acceptable and there have been others deleted for the same reasons, as f0d said. It would be rather unfair if they stayed undeleted. When you don't think about what you're doing you have to live with the consequences. That's life.

Wade, they are playing with you. They are laughing about you and your little 'bans' on their forum, they even laugh about you on the website you partly own. They are insulting you and your family who has nothing to do with the whole situation right into your and their faces. Don't let them play with you.

They are planning to make a week where they will submit flashes about you. Stop them before it's too late.

I read, a while ago, that you needed a Batting Average higher than a certain value to make a collab. Does anyone know the value or can anyone link me to the topic where it's said, please?

Maybe make a part based on crappy voice acting/quality as main joke?

Meaning by what you say, there isn't any "slim pickings" at all. In fact, there would be quite a lot of "pickings".

I think he was talking about active flash artists. You don't have to be a genius to figure that out.

The one with the big flashy advertised bar on the main page, multiple news posts, shout-outs to it in every other news post, various lengthy blog posts, and a 2+ month deadline? This had 5 times more coverage than Blamformers. You people are just being fags.

I know that there has been done a lot and I also stated some of my ideas how to prevent the next collab (if there will be one) to turn out as bad as this one. You even quoted my ideas.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It seems like the newgrounds animators are more concentrated on submitting a lot of crap instead of a few good submissions. The crap probably can't be used anyways so the collan will consist of a very few good submissions. Quality is better than quantity and that by far in my opinion.

As you said though, besides making a post and yell at people (basically what Stamper did) it's extremely hard to do anything about it. And I don't really think that anyone who read this post will make something more creative either.

The whole collab and this thread is really sad to look at. I would say pathetic but I am thinking about a word that is more hurtful.

Next time you should have a small poll giving out 3-5 different topics. The topic the most people vote for will be the next collab. That way you people avoid the lack of entries. I'm not sure if it's just me, but the whole MGS collab passed by really quickly with barely any attention brought to it. I can't really tell you guys how you could've brought up some more attention to it but still.

You should have written that you will reject every cardboard box and codec parts right from the beginning. No one would've made one of these then which would've been by far better. These 2 jokes are very overused and just not original and funny anymore.

Maybe talk to some good animators who might be interested before making the actual collab to make sure that there are some qualitative parts, too. Then again, NG has a lot of good animators and I doubt the staff would have the time to do this.

To the staff, I don't think that any of this, besides the theme picking, is your fault. It's the fault of the lazy NG stuff that has dumbed down within a year so much that barely any of them can come up with good ideas anymore. I haven't EVER played the game and could probably come up with a good idea for the collab just by knowing all the NG parodies of metal gear solid. Heck, all you need to do is watching the trailer or maybe a video review of the game. Just search for videos on Youtube, how hard can it be.

I think the majority of the people who joined this collaboration entered with cardboard box and codec jokes because they proved to be very successful in the past hundred of Metal Gear Solid submissions. They aren't even considering making an actual parody of the game, they are making parodies of parodies. But that's just my opinion.

Maybe some of them don't even remember what the game had to it. I for once know that there are more than 2 parts but all I ever see is the main character of the first game. I have seen my brother playing the second game with a main character called Raiden (Correct me if I'm wrong). It had a fat jerk on roller skates that planted bombs all over the game map. I haven't payed attention to what it was, a boat or something alike. It would be really easy to make fun of this Fatman or perhaps even the sniper from part 1, which I have also seen my brother defeat. It's not really that hard coming up with ideas based on characters. Using the same character (Snake in this case) over and over again gets tiring to see and results in overuse of jokes.

I feel like I am repeating towards the end of every paragraph. That should prove my point well enough though.

Sorry for the long post, you don't need to read it if you want your part to be shit and similar to all the other parts.

I do hope it's not a 4chan supporting website. I haven't been on there before but I was redirected there by a classmate who also told me that the password used to be different. And you are right, the "anonymous" thing fits in there pretty well.

I'm not sure if you get what I am talking about. http://beta.akibakko.net/ <--This website requires a password and a username to view. To find out the password and the username, you have to solve the riddle in the window that asks you for the login data.

I was just asking if someone knew what the login data was. I did, in no way, give out my password. I said that the password for that website used to be anonymous and the username used to be anonymous as well. It was changed now though.

Also, why would a topic about a website containing a riddle get locked?

Are you stupid? Can't you read or something?

I am searching for the password and username to get to this website. It's supposed to be a riddle I guess, it used to be anonymous and anonymous. Was changed now though.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Most of the posted ones are really ugly. All of them are very uncreative.

I will make one for you later today if I have the time.

Unimportant, that are season 1 and 2 you got there.

Unimportant again, that's season 1 again.

Ojamajo Doremi is season 1, Ojamajo Doremi # (or sharp) is season 2, Motto is season 3, what I am searching for and Dokkan is season 4. Naisho is the OVA but I already have that.

Alright so I am searching for the third season of the anime Ojamajo Doremi. The season is called Motto and I am giving out 10$ to the first person to find and post a link to a torrent file of that or rapidshare links or something like that. (Attention mods, this is legal. I wouldn't post it if it wasn't. I have informed myself very well about this, uploading of that show is illegal, downloading it is not and neither is discussing the download of it).

The season contains 50 episodes, there is also a movie which I already have seen. It doesn't matter if they are subbed or not.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo%7Etto%21 _Ojamajo_Doremi
This is the Wikipedia article about it. You should search for the Japanese keywords, I tried the English keywords already and you won't find anything.

Thanks.

Actually, I believe you mean it only appears when you get 3+ submissions.

It's true but take a look at zekey's BA for example. He has a very good BA even though he has a lot of 0.9-1.6 scoring movies.

Your BA proves it pretty well, too.
