I believe the point being made is, one does not count as an artist in the context of the competition until one submits a piece of artwork; otherwise they're just an onlooker, so to speak.

If we're all going to stop deliberately misunderstanding each other, we might as well just request the thread be locked.

You can request whatever to your heart's content. Makes about the same difference.

Here or on your blog?

It's not my blog, it's MPs blog. I mean okay, I get it, you're new, as far as you're concerned all the names on the screen are equal and the same, names on the screen, composing a really flat reality. This however is not a fact, just an artifact reflecting your candor.

$150 is not enough to take the risk of spec work of a 2048x1536 res fantasy game splash scene where we are not even sure what we are drawing is in line with whatever game idea you have in your head.

You're not required to guess what's in my head (I don't even have any magic powers in this project) or anyone else's for that matter. You are required to come up with something, from your own head. I mean okay, I get it, it's rare for this to happen irl, but that rare doesn't mean never. It's happening right now.

Honestly you should have offered a much smaller payout for that, and a higher payout for this contest. This one takes more work.

Sooo I say payout has no relation, and bring as proof an actual instance where less work with generous payout (March BTC ~= 2.5 June BTC) failed to go anywhere. Your answer to this is that...wait. Did you even logically consider what's going on here? Not really, huh.

Stop focusing on management details, such as what the payout is and how MP structures things. It's obviously not your strong point. You say you're an artist, do that then, do it well, complain if you're mistreated and after you're mistreated rather than before on the grounds that you might be.

Now that I call fair.

I feel like there should be a way to use a blockchain to store game state, which would probably win over all the altcoin fans, but I'm not quite sure it'd make sense.

I feel like all the clueless/idiotic people gravitating around Bitcoin are really the same one person somehow amplified by mirrorwork, and it just keeps repeating the same stupid nonsense. Suddenly the Hercules and Hydra parable becomes very very meaningful to me.
