Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[PHALLA]Project Phashion - GAME OVAR: SABOTEURS WIN
Welcome, designers, to Phashion Phalla! I am Tim Gunn, and I will be your guide in this exciting competition that will pit your wits and fashion sense against each other!
Each day, you will be issued a challenge. You will have until 9PM PST to submit a picture of your design to IreneDAdler. Any type of image will be accepted, be it a handdrawn picture, an MSPaint doodle, a picture from real-life, or a Google image search. Your submissions will be posted in that night's narration, and your fellow designers will vote who's !in and who’s !out. Any ties will be broken by RNG. The loser will leave the competition, and the winner will receive immunity for that day.
Just like in any other business, however, not everyone is what they seem, and some will do just about anything to get ahead. So keep your needle and your wits about you, because you might need both!
Now, let’s move on to your first challenge. As you know, Queen Amidala is a bit of a fashion maven:
Your first challenge is to design a gown for her to wear to the next Senate session. While designing her outfit, you may want to consider how your design could both command attention and inspire respect, so that the outfit may help the queen to win the hearts of the Senators.
Ok people, make it work!
The first day will end at Tuesday, 12/04, at 9PM PST.
There will be no voting on the first day, as, well, there is nothing to vote on yet. Feel free to post your works in progress for feedback, though. Or make snarky comments about the other designers.

Picture submissions may be slightly NSFW, but use common sense and don't submit goatse or anything. Make sure that wherever your picture is being hosted is a clean site; rehost it on photobucket or something if you're not sure. Also, try to keep your pictures down to a reasonable size. 500x500 is the recommended size. No bitmaps, please. H-scroll rapage and 2MB files are bad, mkay?

Obviously, since this is a fashion game, commenting on other people's submission is at least half the fun, but try to avoid mean-spirited remarks. Play nice, people!

Up-and-comer –
It all started with going to the fabric store with your mother for new curtains. As you walked past rows and rows of the myriad bolts of fabric, you couldn’t help but appreciate the elegant drape and cascade of velvet, the crisp luster of taffeta, the whispery delicacy of chiffon… You are inspired to turn fabric into a means of expression. Clothes are your passion. You have been selected out of thousands of applicants because you have honed your love of clothes into a sharp sense of style and creativity. This competition could be your entrée into big-time recognition of your life-long passion!
Ability: Being fabulous
and: Are we allowed to show other people before voting?
1) No, it doesn't have to be in color. I am actually placing very little restrictions on the image itself. Just try to imagine what will make people vote for you.
2) Yes, feel free to use this thread or PMs to get feedback, bounce ideas off each other, etc.
Also, do feel free to include commentary on your design, which I will post along with your picture when I make the narration Day 1.
And another thing: you may submit more stuff if you change your mind or something, I will post your last submission. Just, uh... don't go crazy and flood my inbox, k
Also, I think I need to clarify the win immunity mechanic. Unlike the TV show, where the immunity applies on the following day, the win immunity applies on the same day. Hakke won the PAX challenge, and thus she was immune from all Day 2 mechanics. As of 9PM PST tonight, she no longer has immunity unless she wins the Bond Girl Challenge. And I really hope that Hakke is a girl, because now that I think of it, I don't know that for a fact, she just sounded like one.
If that woman's cleavedge made one more person pick the game up off the shelf, it was a net positive for microprose. And to be blunt, if taking her top off could have increased sales enough to get a sequel, I'd endorse it 100000% because I like playing great games.

PM it to me, please.
Also, abilities aren't active until Day 2 for the same reason there is no voting: so that everyone has a chance to submit at least once.
And I'll edit in a link to here in the sign-up thread.
edit: Nevermind, I'm a forumz noob.

Ah, finished. This was almost too easy.
Now to watch you all fail and squirm fruitlessly.
None of you can best my masterpiece.
I am not very good at photoshop so I whacked away at my drawing with the brush tool
Also no tablet
Me and GIS are best friends.
And another thing: you may submit more stuff if you change your mind or something, I will post your last submission. Just, uh... don't go crazy and flood my inbox, k
But she must be backed by strength, with strong commanding actions, to do what must be done.
Therefore, I have designed the perfect dress for the inagural occasion:

Yep.
She's a queen, not a prattling five year old.
Ha-rumph!
Isn't it just faaaaabulous?

Squashua... hmm, you're name will not soon be forgotten.
It looks like Jar Jar ate Natalie Portman, put on her dress a-la the big bad wolf, and was caught sucking on her decapitated head. O_o

I'm totally sending them to you regardless
You're just jealous.
Bitch.

At least I have two days to think something up...
I know seriously.
Damn you ...people that can draw.
However, Le Spec is very secretive.
You will have to wait for it.
Unfortunately for my espionage-ish side, all I get is "In we some guys on suits try wrestle the dogs. only in fights oh, the"
