the blender.
welcome one and all to yet another HENNIFER-BRANDtM infofile.
with additions and changes by the ever so silly warpus the electron
and the not-fishy cthulu the fish
g e n e r a l c r a p
in the tradition of the very successful joint and swaptM irc activities,
comes a third, ultimate idea. yes, if you can read ?! youve guessed by now
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
if blender is not cooperating, try mist.
In a pinch, interact on social media via that comps hashtag or via e-mail
to blender at lazarusblocks dot org ... we will strive to be available
over various branches of social media.
2 - at precisely 2:00pm EST, cthulu, the host of this event will explain
how the blender works.
3 - each person will come up with a set of ideas, including one from each of
three categories: a subject i.e. a horse, an activity i.e. fishing
and a location i.e. the White House.
4 - everyone will submit their idea to the organizer, who will make a
list. the organizers currently are cthulu and warpus. /msg your words to
them.
writing down of the words might take up to 5 minutes, so please be patient.
5 - the organizer will pick THREE of the ideas one subject, one activity, and
one location. these three ideas will be announced, and put in the channel
topic. note: selection is not random at all historically, ideas had to
be rigorously curated to yield useful results.
6 - your mission is to create a masterpiece about the three picked ideas.
your masterpiece may be pretty much anything. ansi/ascii/music/lit/vga/etc.
everything is allowed.
7 - were at liberty to tinker with the conventions multiball play! if it
is calculated to yield more fun per pound.
8 - 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 whos collecting, just to be sure.
9 - winners are picked. the group that the winners are representing receives
points 3 points for 1st place, 2 for 2nd 1 for 3rd, and the winners
is/are placed on the artists of the year list.
10 - the pack is then released so that it can be downloaded by hordes of eager
blendeners, blender supporters, fans, fanatics, dentists, and communists.
If you forget what the words for a given compo are, how much time remains in
the compo, or where to send your entry, visit lazarusblocks.com/blender

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 The Maxx 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 - runs blender, wrote nfo files, released packs, judges.
hennifer - invented the blender.
velkro - hosted the ftp and web sites.
poison - main coder.
we also had couriers spreading the packs all over the planet. you missed your
chance to consult blender.sup.ans to find out who they were.
