Wow, there were a lot more people who posted than I thought: 16 entries to 22 no shows. Impressive. Here are the non-posters, and the prompts they judged to be beneath them:

I think what we can all take away from this contest is th

I find myself disappointed although not surprised that the no-shows outnumber the entries significantly. Some of those ideas seem really trill to me, and now I will forever be deprived of getting to see the results. Some of the posts ideas seem more challenging than others to me. This is likely just personal perspective, though.

You said "please" asking politely, and somehow people ignored this. Like, they asked to be included in the contest. Not everyone who wanted to enter the contest was able to get in due to limited space, you treated all the entrants with utmost diffidence, and so many of the goons considered completely crapped out. Just wow.

More than anything I am disappoint that I recognize more than a few names on the no-show list and now am forced to re-evaluate how I think of these once-respected goons.

Like a lot of people, sometime around 2012 I got really into Vaporwave. Known as the "irony genre," its sampling of old pop songs and relatively low barrier to entry led to a goldrush of sorts, where the gold was hip and sonically pleasing music. Me and my friend Chance were chilling in his dorm room doing as we usually do, drinking "40s" and smoking weed, when we got the idea to download Fruity Loops and try our hand at vaporwave production. Influenced by vaporwave maestros such as Blank Banshee and Lady who slowed down Diana Ross songs by 300% than called it a day we got to work. Frusturated with modern consumerism and disillusioned with the Hedonistic lifestyle of College, me and Chance poured our heart and soul into our debut EP, nA77y 1C3. Reception was admittedly lukewarm, but we took criticism, such as "turn this fag poo poo off" and "this is just beer commercials slowed down by 90% with the gamecube startup theme shoved in every 5 seconds" seriously and prepared for the making of the next album.

With album 2, we set our goal as to make the vaporwave equivalent of Pinkerton. This time we mainly sampled from old Diamond Commercials (By the way, did you know that Diamonds are pretty much bullshit? There was no tradition of giving diamonds as Engagement rings until a huge marketing campaign by De Beers. Because they had a monopoly on diamonds (itself gained through violent and illegal oppression of Africa) they were fully able to control the message, the brand of Diamonds. With the phrase "A Diamond Is Forever" as the centerpiece of the campaign, they quickly were able to convince Diamonds were a neccasary part of the courting process, when in fact Diamonds are not even a rare gem. If you ever need an example of the insidious power of adverstising, look no farther than Diamonds), giving the tunes an etheral and exclusive tone, while also throwing in the wild debauchery samples from Beer commercials. This album would be titled "Da Beers," and was released to great acclaim by my Parents who said it was something "real special. very, uh, interesting." Unfortunately, the intense process of creating Da Beers had absolutely exhauted me and Chance, and so we went our separate ways, Plastic Treez no more. Neveruntheless, it was a wonderfully fullfilling project, and I hope to produce more music in the future. Cheers, and hope everyone enjoys.

I'm disappointed in mine because I couldn't get any real responses and also I did a lovely job. If I had it together I would have made a bunch of fake tweets and poo poo, but, gently caress it.

I did try to make a bunch of fake screenshots, but they were too easily traced back to the real image and I was afraid some cd goon would know some silent film from the 20s and promo art for Waits. Also made a broken link to imdb but that'd be more of a red flag than anything imo.

Make a thread in D&D discussing how you think televised Presidential Debates would have turned out had they been used for presidential elections that happened before the invention of the TV. You must bring up Taft VS Bryan in 1908 and how the moderator would handle any potential jokes about them both having the same first name.

You can't have that much of a longer time or it will never get done. It either happens or it doesn't. This is conceptual art, not some kind of civic project set to go over its budget.
