THE BLENDER!!!!!!!!!
p r o c e d u r e s
quickly! before time runs out, this how a blendertM event will be run:
1 - everyone will gather in blender on EFnet
2 - at precisely 7:30pm EST, cthulu, the host of this event will explain
how the blender works.
3 - each person will come up with ONE idea. it can be in one of three
categories: thing ie. horse, action ie. fishing, and place ie. white
house.
4 - everyone will submit their ONE idea to the organizer, who will make a
list. this organizer currently is cthulu. /msg your words to him.
writing down of the words might take up to 5 minutes, so please be patient.
5 - the organizer will randomly pick THREE of the ideas one thing, one action,
and one place. these three ideas will be announced, and put in the topic.
6 - your mission is to create a masterpiece about the three picked ideas. there are a couple restrictions:
- no sumbission may be bigger than 150k zipped.
- no more than four people may work on one joint.
- a person may submit no more than three entries solo or joint.
your masterpiece may be pretty much anything. ansi/ascii/music/lit/vga/etc. everything is allowed, as long as the rules are followed.
7 - the funpo ends at 9:30pm EST, and thats when all the work is collected.
cthulu usually collects all of it, unless his dcc fucks up which happens
almost as much as it happened to warpus : you *may* submit early if you
wish. check the topic line to see who is collecting, just to be sure.
8 - a winner is picked, but that is usually not announced sunday night. the
group that the winner is representing receives a point, and the winners
is/are placed on the artists of the week list.
9 - the pack is then released so that it can be downloaded by hordes of eager
blendeners, blender supporters, fans, fanatics, dentists, and communists.

hopefully you get an idea of the fun involved here. but along with that,
blendertM has numerous advantages over the other irc events.
INFINITE PLAYERS - yes, this means never having to turn eager blendeners away.
PREFAB INSPIRATION - for those of you that cant think of anything to draw, here other people will do most of the work for you!
ORIGINALITY - finally something other to draw than breasts just imagine a
pack with 20 different interpretations of a horse fishing!!
NO QUALITY CONTROL - it doesnt matter how well you do, how silly or serious you are, because you wont be messing up anyones work except
your own
EASY TO RUN - no messy file exchanges + no hard-to-enforce rules a smooth-
running operation with no annoying delays.
COOL ORGANIZERS - yes, finally a compo that is ran by really cool people. :
w h o s b e h i n d w h a t ? ! ?
people seem to be confused as to who does what during these blenders. well...
cthulu - runs blender, does all the stuff that warpus used to do 8
warpus - ran blender, wrote nfo files, released packs, judged.
hennifer - invented the blender.
velkro - hosts the ftp and web sites.
poison - main coder.
in the event of cock-ups, which happen far more often than wed like to admit,
from now on quip and haquisaq are in charge of blenders should cthulu freak out.failing that, javist2 and infinitem should help out 8
we also have couriers spreading the packs all over the planet. consult
