MCPeePants 0 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 No, no, no...if you win, you get $500. If he wins, he just wins.That's not how I read it. He said:"a weekend where you and I would play a series of challenge matches for $500 each."That implies to me that both participants would be putting $500 at risk in each challenge match. "You'd win $500 for every game you beat me in!"And you'd lose $500 for every game DN beat you in"Or, if you aren't up for a fun weekend of gambling with me and the boys, you can opt for a $2000 cash prize instead."If you're not risking losing anything playing in these games, then you wouldn't exactly be gambling with DN and the boys. That's how I read it, maybe I'm reading it wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
Governator 54 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I see how that could be confusing, I certainly can't afford that but I'd take the trip in a heartbeat to just hang with Daniel for the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I'm pretty sure you're wrong.and you're gambling... because you could end up winning nothing, while on the other hand, you could just take 2k. Know what I mean? Link to post Share on other sites
PrtyPSux 0 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I doubt that DN would take any FCP'ers money, c'mon do you really think he'd say "alright I beat you at golden tee, fork over your rent money..I need it to get myself a poodle" .....of course not. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a Industrial designer , i saw u wrote something about putting your design skills to work.Are you currently designing anywhere now? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 my question is if they are gunna take something along the lines of most original type drawings/photoshops or if they are gunna take the common but looks cool type thing, cause im drawing mine, but i think its gunna be original Link to post Share on other sites

So while a drawing of a martian playing poker against a cabbage patch kid may be original, it probably won't win.But I'm sure creativity will be rewarded. Link to post Share on other sites

Governator 54 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 The ol' 1 post contest entry.... super. Link to post Share on other sites
PestoSauce 0 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Thats a sweet prize. I wish I was at least a little artistic. Whoever wins this better take the weekend in Vegas prize!Yeah, that would kick ass, but whoever takes the weekend and plays DN for $500 in all of those games is very likely going to wind up losing money. You've gotta figure Daniel Negreanu is going to be a prohibitive favorite over *anybody* on the forum in at least 5 of the games: Golden Tee, Blitz, Showtime, and both of the heads up poker games. He's probably going to be a favorite over *most* of the people on the forum in both 8-ball and 9-ball. Now, if he'd agree to raise the stakes in the H.O.R.S.E. game to $5000, then I figure I'm very likely going to win money off DN even if I'm a big underdog in all the $500 games. Not that I know anything about logos.I thought his blog said that only if you beat him. I didn't think you would have to pay for losing. I hope Daniel clarifies this Link to post Share on other sites

fatmanonguitar 0 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Do people really think that Daniel would organize a contest that could end up costing entrants money? C'mon folks. No clarification necessary. Link to post Share on other sites
NaturalSelection 0 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I'm guessing they're going to want a rasterized .eps file, seeing as how it's the industry standard... I thought all you designers would know that... :wink: Link to post Share on other sites

sunkentheory 0 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 i think PSD's should be required because it would be really easy for someone to hire a professional company to design one for them for like $200-$500 and submit that...idk maybe i am wrong Link to post Share on other sites
