Ok. So first off, since we haven’t had one of these in years, a lot of you are asking, “What’s an ABC?”
ABC stands for Avatar Battle Challenge. Essentially, a theme is given, and avatar-makers all over IMM submit avatars (up to one still and one animated per entrant.) A Panel of judges decides which ones are best, and prizes are awarded. Mostly it’s a lot of fun because you get to see a bunch of really cool avatars.
To see this in practice, here are the judging threads of the previous ABC’s:
Since we’re a bout to get a bunch of new people, I thought it might be worthwhile to revive ABCs, and try to get IMM hopping a bit again. But I can’t do it without you. I’m not going to hold a contest just for Worthless and shatterstar to enter. There’s no fun in an ABC unless a lot of people enter.
Yo, that would be awesome to watch. I love just checking up on the the Big Request Thread, just to see the new avs. Shoot, I’ve even held little prize contests to see if any1 would bite. And, I think that all the avs I’ve gotten from here have been awesome.
Of course, I won’t be submitting an av, but I would love to see the results.
Shoot, I’d even pitch in for some kind of Premium prize for the winner.
The food theme was my favorite. People got really creative with it. The Time one was also cool, but I got kind burned on doing non-fighting game themes after getting like zero entrants for the Rock and Roll themed one.
Food part 2 is a possibility. That one was fun as fuck.
