The Outpost Universe Reunion Community Collage
I am currently accepting photo submissions from the entire community to be added to the OPU Reunion Collage. Users of OPU are encouraged to submit their photos (or any other art/graphic they wish to represent them) to be included in a community collage that will be revealed at the OPU Reunion sometime after the first of the year. Users are allowed to request special inclusions with their photo so long as all parties agree (you are allowed to request things like "I want to shoot a thors hammer bolt out of my eyes and toast Sirbomber..." so long as Sirbomber and yourself are in agreement). Nothing obscene, racist, inflamatory or otherwise negative is allowed. Remember, its all in good fun!
Remember: It is preferred that users send an actual pic of themselves, but if you want to have something else 'represent' you in the collage, make sure it is something that everyone will recognise as you or as representing you. It must be unique. It is also preferred that the photos users submit be taken specifically for the collage. Sending your avatar pic is okay, but having a unique photo is desired.
The finished collage will be proudly displayed on the main OPU page and will probably be a focus of attention for some time to come.
If you are REALLY devoted to OPU, I will agree (on individual terms only) to send you a special community version of the college in print. Individual framing requests will be considered on a cost/shipping basis as well as the number of requests. To request yours, PM me with the proper details.
**Dont forget to post your funny OP2/OPU related stories in the General Forum stories thread!*

I get to get Thor's-ed by laser vision? Sweet!
Hmmm... So I can give a pic I want to "represent" me?
Alright, I'll think about that one.
-
I (we) prefer that you send an actual pic of yourself, but if you want to have something else 'represent' you in the collage, make sure it is something that everyone will recognise as you or as representing you. It must be unique.
It would also be nice that the pics people submit be taken specifically for the collage. Sending your avatar pic is okay, but I think having unique photos would make it more special.
-
Yes, I was planning on having a different pic. I have to go and get it though, so yeah. I'll do that.
None may see my face; all who do are destroyed. [size=8]Kinda.[/size]

DM-Horus, could you PM me more info about the time/date etc of the reunion?
-
There is no set date yet. Just get your pics into Horus and you will c his work at the reunion.
-
There's to pics I can't decide between...niether is an actual pic of me (you guys aren't seeing one of those any time soon) but both would be easilly recognizeable as from me
-
It doesnt really matter what the image is so long as it conforms to the desency rules I specified and that the image is purely original and is easily identified as being from, by, or representative of, the person it is meant to take the place of. If you dont have something like that, make an original drawing of some kind, set it as your forum avatar NOW (so other users can start getting used to seeing it asap) and submit it to me as your image.
If you do not intend to send an actual pic of yourself, that is your only viable option. I dont want the collage filled with screen caps from movies or tv shows or even op2. Think of the collage as a 'class photo'. youre allowed to be a goof, but only within reason. if i dont get enough submissions or people start sending me unusable pics, the collage simply wont happen.
CLARIFICATION: If i get less than 7 pics, I wont waste time making the collage.
I didnt make it impossible to participate, so send in those pics!!!
-
Can you use either my avatar, or my sig?
Thanks

nope.

Also, I should add:
Any pictures you submit must comply with the TOS of this forum (which you agreed to when you registered for the forum, if you wish to view it, log out and click on the Register link), as well as the OPU Webhosting TOS located here. (http://hosting.outpostuniverse.net/opuhosting-tos.html)
OPU reserves the right to remove any picture that we feel violates either TOS, or for other reasons feel it is in bad taste and should not be included.
As well, dm-horus will use his discretion in what kinds of pictures should be / shouldn't be in the collage (as he posted above).
Have fun with this! I think it will turn out great! :)
-

so choose the best to fit in your collage :)
ps: could it be possible to cut the background of me put a black (if its clear if not then white)backgroud color and then put bluish or redish flame on the bottom
-

-
i think lev and lordly_dragon should start a band.
-
i usually write a post with some content but..... LOOOOOOOOOOOL
-
Ill have to join that band (70's hair style)
-
welcome on board the charity band =)
-
so... is this dead or what? want my pic ?lol its uber gothic
-
m00gle you should not open the door to bash you so wide...it is so tempting to say some reply to that.. i wont i am civilised :P
-
the project isnt dead perse`.....
however since not enough pictures were submitted, it could not be completed for reunion. im still asking people to submit pictures but the collage wont be made until i get enough. if i could get a picture from all the irc regulars, id be satisfied but right now we only have some of the core members and thats not enough.
to answer your question moogle: the project isnt dead until the collage is made and it wont get made until i get more pictures. SO SEND THEM IN.
-
Well if you don't mind, use the one Lev sent of me. I've got more, but they're bad ones. Really bad ones - Like pics of me at work. Who wants to see me in a suit? Not me.
-Chris
-
I need a new suit. and more pictures. SEND EM IN!
-
listen to the man send him your picture don't be shy man.... (thumbsup)
-
yea :)
-
if i still havent gotten enough pics in a year's time, then ill repost the idea in a new thread to make it seem more "fresh" ;)
we're already almost halfway to a year and only 4 usable pictures have been submitted. if you dont have a digital camera, go to a FedEX Kinko's and say you need a passport picture taken. then say you want a copy of it put on a floppy or cd. it will cost about $10. take it home, upload it and send me a link!
-
my sig or my avvy, take your pick
-
:( :( this is not your picture CK9 ....
-
my avatar is not my pic, but my sig is technically my own pic. it2000us made it based of a conceptual pic I made a LONG time ago, and I shrunk it, inverted colors and added text to use as my sig. It is easily recognizeable as me, as it is the Sig I use at all forums
-
But still, it is not your head that we are seeing
-
the point of the community collage is for it to appear as though we all somehow got together, had some drinks and took a group photo. anyone can make a collage of avatars and frankly that wouldnt be very interesting. i need headshots.
-
Might I remind you:
Remember: It is preferred that users send an actual pic of themselves, but if you want to have something else 'represent' you in the collage, make sure it is something that everyone will recognise as you or as representing you.
-
yes and in that time ive changed my mind, mostly due to the fact that EVERYONE wants me to use their sig or avatar. thats not the point. the idea was that only those who absolutely couldnt get a real pic, we could have no more than 3 or 4 ppl's avatars ir sigs in there so we would all know who they were. but having a huge poster of 37 avatars would make no sense.
therefore, until i get sufficient pictures NO avatars or sigs are allowed. if there two or three of you who seriously cant provide a pic but want to be in, ill use whats available but im not going to do it just because people are too lazy to get some film developed and scan it in. if you want to be in the collage, you have to send me a pic. besides, when its done im going to get poster sized prints of it developed and ship them to everyone who contributed and i think you have to do a little more than PM me a url to your sig to deserve that.
-
well, I have no way of getting a real pic to you, no camera anymore (I somehow managed to break it or something :( )
-
(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f52/Vexhare/howens.jpg)
Me and my wife.
-
excellent, vex.
CK9: go to a kinkos or any other place that takes passport pics. they take the pic and put it on disk for about $10. if not that way, go to a mall. you see these photobooth things everywhere. once youve got a pic, take it to anyplace that has scanners and get it on disk.
-
Thanks. yeah I scanned in a few photos yesterday on my scanner... i liked that one the best.
-
LOL DM-Horus, what kind of drinks? ;) I don't drink....
-
laugh :) hmmm b33r the only thing that is 1337 in this world
-
How 'bout some good old soda? :D
Get hyper and all lol
-
wtf? how did you get "drinks" out of a discussion about pictures? o.O
-
That really is a good question, I did not even mention drinks while talking about the picture.

Better yet, just go get a friend with a digital camera and ask them to take a picture of you, then get the jpeg from them.
I used to do that before I got a digital camera of my own.
Or you could go the old fashioned 35mm way. Take a picture, get it developed, and use any scanner to scan it to a picture file.
