Ken,

 - Actually, it wasn't clear to me if what was downloadable was going to be
 - a mirror of the contest pages, or par files so that people could generate
 - the images themselves, or both.

Both, ultimately.

Gedeon,

 - There is no reference here to images being disqualified on account of
 - their appearing on home pages *after* submission but before the voting
 - is concluded.

Only if you ignore the context of the rest of the rules. :)  The reason for
not revealing the names of the artists is to prevent voting based on artist
reputation.  Posting contest images to your web site defeats this stated
intent.

Subject: (fractint) Re: [fractal-art] Contest Web Site

Linda,

 - Best Portrayal of an Emotion:  I'm not certain what "emotion" is
 - represented by some of the fractals.  Is there more info on these
 - somewhere, or was that info just left out by the contestants?

Some contestants did not elaborate on which emotion they were portraying.
In some cases we caught this during the submission process and asked for
clarification; it didn't always arrive.  I did the best I could with the
information I had.

 - Also, the voting:  I agree that the comments from the viewers will be
 - one of the advantages of the contest.  But I'm really sorry that we will
 - only comment on those images that we vote for.

If you (or anyone else) have got further comments that you would like
forwarded to the artists, please send it to [e-mail].  I'll
adjust the web site to reflect this.

Personally I do not see the problem in this. The above seems reasonable and
sane to me - it is not as if there were half a trillion rubles riding on this.

(Should have put this with my first post a few minutes ago)  I imagine
everyone here is honorable enough to _not_ visit web sites where contest
images are placed until after having voted. Is that not sufficient?

Subject: (fractint) Contest

Good evening folks,

My apologies for spamming these lists yet again, but I wanted to let people
know that the first downloadable forms of the contest are available:

   http://www.fractalus.com/contest98/download.htm

The PAR-kits are not ready yet, so if that's what you're looking for,
you'll have to wait an extra day.  Still, if all you'd like to do is
download the entire web site, you can now do that in big chunks, instead of
one file at a time.

Please note: the complete contest web site will consume 40M of hard drive
space.  Downloading it is not for the faint of heart (or tight of space). :)

I consider this an unseemly suspicion.  The implication is, for instance
that the voting in the fractint contest was biased as the names of the
submitters (I'd say artists, but I submitted some for that contest so that
rules out use of the terms for all) were known.  Do you believe that this
was so?

Damien....

I am strongly in favor of extending the voting period and letting folks
post their images on their websites after the 19th as you suggested.  I
could not discern any problems, i.e. there were no complaints, during
the last contest when we posted our contest entries during the voting.

Subject: (fractint) Posting sans spaces

I am re-posting the pars I did a few days ago that had a bad case of the dreaded
spaces.  Despite all of the suggestions made (which I implemented) by you all, I was
still getting spaces.  I downloaded and installed a copy of Communicator 4.06
tonight, and I think that did the trick! Please let me know.......I tried several
tests prior to posting here (sent posts to myself at both my ISP's)......everything
looked good to me so I suspect that Communicator 4.01 had a prob.

Thanks for your patience

just curious-wouldn't it be better to wait for downloading until the

Outstanding work on the contest site!  I've spent over three hours
looking at all of the great submissions, taking notes and changing my
mind literally dozens of times.  Good thing we have a couple weeks to
vote...  I'll be revisiting tomorrow at work (Thank God for T1
connections ;-)  You really DO have to view the full-size images to
fully appreciate them.

BTW & FWIW, I do plan to post my entries on my web page, but not until
after voting has ended..

Good night, all
Paul

OK, I am obviously a complete no-hoper and not qualified to vote - I was
sure I'd viewed at least one of this category full size.

From here it is *very* slow to get hold of the images, even with the
640x480x256 limit.  I shall be checking out the 40MB download ... after
I've cleared some disk space.

I think it will be important to view all images in a category fairly
quickly - I suppose I'll narrow my choice down to 3-5 of them and then
need to look at them again, and again.

Joe

If we allowed that then there would be people who would wait to find out who
did the image before voting and that would defeat the purpose of anonymity
in the first place.

NO - curiosity doesn't only kill the cat.....besides, how do we know which
sites not to visit?

Only those worried that their image wont win without someone knowing they
did it need display it (no offense to Maria Kjaergaard, your copyright shows
already- haven't looked at all pics thou), a simple note saying they have a
new image to be released on such-and-such date should leave viewers panting
to come back when the pic is available(but not including the picture name).
(sorry not sure when competition is decided)

There is plenty of time to show off.... stick with it.... besides, wont it
look better on your site if someone new who views your pic sees the prize
attached to it, (they don't always come back)?

Yeah - I've got to agree with this, since I'm still trying to figure out
how to get more colours for my card. I've tried other programs, (such as
FractalExtreme) which offer better control over resolution and number of
colours, but I still like the simplicity of fractint, and keep returning
to it. If I can get past the problem with video modes, I'm sailing!!

Somebody, someone, out there, has got to know something about these ax,
bx, cx, dx values for video modes. Any takers?

Er... no!! I haven't actually - not yet, anyway, but I'll admit I've
been slightly scared off after I visited some web pages that have been
mentioned in the circulars, only to find myself downloading one page
full of large images (7 or so) and following the comments about "a
matter of deciding
which audience I want to please most....the one with limited time or
patience or my Fractint collegues. ", I decided that, given the amount
of surfin' I do and how easily I (and others) click away from a page
that takes ages to download - I fitted into the first category, and have
shyed away from pages containing fractals until I find out a bit more
than the pages.

Guess this is just prejudice on my part, but I'm waiting until the
weekend when call costs are cheaper and I'm at home (rather than work)
to view some of the competition entries.

Are you confessing or accusing? Please be specific either way.

>Only those worried that their image wont win without someone knowing they
>did it need display it

This is entirely unworthy.  In the one case where someone definitely wants
to display images that were submitted, it is because there was a
pre-existing commitment.  I could well see someone who used a fractal
generator that is not so widely used as fractint wanting to display a
large format version of their image (I certainly will be using the
fractint pars made available to generate images at large sizes since many
images loose a lot in smaller versions) and would not view this as being in
any way improper.  It does not make sense to have what is essentially a
practical compromise on size (to make a practical contest web site)
determine an important parameter for a work.
