Do not paint here!

[rudel_ic]

As pointed out below, Worth1000 has been painting on that place for aeons. Don't piss 'em off

[Jeff]

Dude, we should make our own area instead of messing with Worth 1000. They will be pissed!

[garfieldt]

No offense, guys, but please leave the Worth1000 logo alone.
You're free to make a Wolfire logo next to it or under it, but we would really appreciate it if you leave the Worth1000 logo the way it is, well was, so that we could have both logo's there instead of fighting over one place

[rudel_ic]

What do you guys think about this place? Nothing going on there.

And let's include the wolfire logo, okay? That'd make it look cooler.

[Jeff]

Sounds good

[rudel_ic]

No... there seems to be some space on that region that's blocked. I can't paint there.

I don't get this. The mentioned regions have some pics that definitely suck. What's going on there?

Why isn't the Worth1000 thingie blocked then?

What the hell?

Somebody search a better place svp.

[maximmat]

hey guys im from Worth1000, and we worked very hard to create the logo and keep it from being destroyed, so we would really appreciate it if you created your own logo somewhere else. Thanks a lot in advance

[rudel_ic]

I thought we already agreed that Worth1000's logo would be left untouched!

[Zantalos]

Whoa, that is...
Whoa, I mean one person writes wolfire in that spot and then BOOM! They google the site, search the forums, and then create their own account just for that one post. That's insane. But, I was kinda predicting this after reading their Wiki from Levbot's link, that place is really about respect. They have like all these great stories of 'guild' battles and gamefaq's forum members protecting and vandalising other pictures of friends, rivals, and neutral partys. What we just witnessed is proof of the devotion to this drawball, amazing.

So I think the trick is, to find a spot that is mainly held by free-users not groups. A spot like thisdoesn't seem to have a real owner, we could probable use spots like these, rectangle them off and then do our painting there. I don't know why we couldn't paint at Rudel's location, more exploring needs to be done.
What do you guys think? Should we try this once more?

Oh and it seems that drawball only protects real art, or something that might turn real. Logo's like worth1000 is just meaningless ads. Not protecting them gives others the chance for vandalism and fun stories (who's ever heard of gang wars, tagging up specific area's on the web).

[rudel_ic]

I tried whiting out the place I mentioned in my pre-previous posting, but I couldn't paint some areas. That pissed me off since I already wasted a lot of ink at that spot (okay, reconnecting to the internet for another 15% of ink is not such a big deal) and since the protected pics were just crappy.

Oh well... I'd participate anyway. But I suggest testing the location first. Testing means making random dots and random lines (white) all over the place to ensure there's no protected spot.

I don't know why those drawball guys didn't implement a way to show other painters which areas are protected.

About the Worth1000 guys: Their logo may be random stuff, but they've been around there longer than we have. Means we just have to respect the locals so that they respect our turf. Jeez, I sound like some ghetto-kid. Y'know, dog. (?)

[Nuky]

You know.. There's an area named "Lugaru" there already.. Why don't we use that instead of "48j3bijsdfoiw93"-something?

[Zantalos]

Uh what? Where? You know you could have told us this a bit sooner.

Whoa, that worth 1000 thing sure is taking a beating.
