Hey Firus...
I don't want to post this in the CPS cuz you are the manager of the OP and what not but...
can we make a new banner? I feel like the banner we have now is not really a good example of our skills. We have made some awesome new sprites, and I think we should update the banner.
I'm all for doing it, but I really wanted to run it by you first.
I'd also like you to grant me some sort of "request break"? I mean, I have been doing....alot of sprites lately. I feel like (this is going to sound totally selfish but bear with me) I've been pulling alot of the sprites off the list. I may not claim them, but I do them. The last 4 or 5 sprites posted have been from me, and I think the others really need to start pulling their weight. I've talked to Spire, and he has expressed interest in returning to requests after he finishes his finals. I think it willl be a good change to have him back, since his sprites really fire people up!
I mean, like I said, I've been doing alot of the sprites, but whenever I STOP doing the sprites, I feel like the shop will just....collapse. The first temporary closing was overcome when we completed all the sprites, but the second temp closing could only have been accomplished through clearing the list. That...shouldn't have happened. Granted that the requests were arbitrary and dumb, but still....I really want to take a break, but I don't want the shop to go under.
The underlying message of this post is probably something along the lines of "hey, start doing sprites, I'm tired of doing all the work", but that's not entirely true. I'm sounding arrogant, yes, but that's cuz I'm a little frustrated that the sprites aren't being completed.
Besides that, I think the CPS is doing great. Our spriting has NEVER been better than it is now, and our little community is thriving. I just thought I would bring some things to your attention, since you are seen as the role model leader of the group. Please don't take this the wrong way, you know I can't win in an argument >.>
But anyways, I wish you and your family a merry Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanza/December 25, 2008 and I can say that you guys are definetly the BEST of the best friends I've made....ahem....on the internet =D
