[spoiler=Rules]

RULES:
1) only 1 entry per contestant, either in the Full Custom division or in the Splice/Edit division.(Animated may be a division if enough entries are in to justify it)
-Please declare which division you fall under to avoid potential confusion.
2) No voting for your own entry!
3) Entries should be limited to 16 colors.(15 colors+ 1 background color) This is more of a guideline, but good to follow for style and challenge reasons. Colors may be custom or using GBA sprite palletes.

5) No posting previous/old works! This means no edits/recolors of something previously made as well.
-allowing previous/old works would give an unfair advantage to certain entries, two weeks is a good amount of time to work on an entry... how fair would it be to have to go up against something someone spent months or even a year on?
-creating brand new works, encourages creativity and artistic growth and development, kinda what the whole art forums are about... isn't it?

[spoiler=NEW Voting and Winners]

VOTING:
Voting will be split into two categories.
-Best in Theme
-Best Overall Battle Sprite

>Voting will run for 3 days

If there are a large amount of entries, Best in Theme will be divided into smaller categories based on whether an entry is custom, splice, or animation.

WINNERS:
Winning placement will be decided by total number of votes across categories.
>The winner gets to choose two potential themes either from a list or of their own imagination.

>The winner and runner ups will vote upon the themes to select one.

>The winner gets two votes in addition to theme selection.

>Second place gets two votes.

>Third place gets one vote.

>Whatever theme wins the winner's votes will be used for the next competition.

Note, votes can be split, if you have two votes they do NOT need to go to the same theme.

Yeah. Maybe a lil hiatus might be good. Come back with a vengeance in the New Year? Smirks is definitely the champ this time around though.

(I do have next week off of school, but who the hell knows if I have the time to sprite with my schedule atm)

I only had ideas running for this one as of now, but either extension (2 more weeks if anyone else is in) or hiatus would be good. Though, most likely I'll be fried/noncommital until after Christmas.

(Extension would work for me, can definitely get something done in a week.)

Ciraxis had an interesting idea... What if instead of weekly, this comp was something, monthly? Instead of biweekly, the bi-monthly battle sprite Showdown? Basically one month for the competition, then a month break? Then go again?

...as a way to be less... Drain/stretching the creative Community thin?
