After reading Laeq's featured part, the Jaguar legs, I was wondering if any of you would just enter a less "competitive" competition, and be "innovative" in a different way. What I mean is...
Who can make the most beautiful AC that has the aesthetic appeal to make us all weak on our knees?
Of course, the strength and effectiveness of the entered AC's in battle do not matter, because the AC just has to look cool. An AC will only be graded by the looks of its external parts (since things like FCS, radiator, and generator cannot be seen) and its color. I might go into things like creativity, or give bonuses to excellent uses of a certain part to accenuate a feature of the AC. Some example include dual Siren2's and a Ruri (extension part), which will give an AC some "wings" and an overall look of swiftness.
Before I go any further, what do you guys think? I will be grading AC's, and I will only enter my AC(s) for show, since it would be unfair for me to grade my own design. Anyone up for it?

I may enter this sometime, depending on what I can make up.
Heh, and more competitions on the site are always welcome. You'll be hosting this while I host the exhibitions... they're like polar opposites...

Well, I'm not really going to put a deadline on this. I just want to tap into another perspective of this game, although it's not useful at all. Besides wanting to compete against the big guns with weapons and all, I WOULD like to see an ultra-cool-looking design for a change. Plus...there isn't really an obligation either, so people can submit and comment as they please. However if enough people jump onto the bandwagon and want to do this, I'll make this an "unofficial" competition, since it'll give people an incentive to want to make the best-looking design. BUT, unfortunately, I have no photo capturing capabilities at this point, so if this was to happen, I'll need you and Laeq to help me with the d-grading process. And with the recent legal problems that uploaders of Devhook have been getting into, I should do it fast.

I don't think photoshop should be allowed... I mean, I'm not asking for kick-@$$ artwork, TS; I was just thinking that maybe we can make AC's that look cool. If I allowed photoshop, you would sweep us ALL, or MOST of us, lol. Like I said, dual Siren2's gives an AC wings, and on any lightweight build it looks cool. Someone may actually use that to make an Aile Strike Gundam-esque AC.
I'll just keep taking entries until I feel that there's enough. 2 designs per person, and MUST come fully-equipped, and with color as well. AI isn't necessary, because this is not an AC academic competition...heh. Part sharing is not allowed (I'm trying to push the innovation part a little further). Any more questions? This is meant to be a fun thing for us to do, since tourney's seem to be more heartstopping and even traumatic for folks like me. So just make sexy AC's and have fun!

By fully equipped do you mean there has to be something in every slot? Lol.
And I think TS was just kidding, there.

eh....sorry for the misunderstanding, TS.
Anyway, "fully equipped"...I guess I can take that back, since we're in no need of a generator...FCS, radiator, or optional parts. Boosters are necessary though, because they can be seen behind an AC, and different boosters look better with different cores. I forgot which boosters look like a pair of sausages; I find them disgusting...
Anyway, once I get Laeq or Dark (hehehehehe MORE WORK FOR YOU, Mr. Admin!) to either help me downgrade or take pics of the AC's for me, then I'll "start the competition."
Regardless, you guys can start designing, because I can judge AC's on my own PSP; pictures can wait.

I'd be glad to help you downgrade, and in fact that would be the most practical thing.
I have a bunch of food on my plate as it is (metaphor lol), and I'm having trouble shoveling it in my mouth. It backs up and comes right back out!

uh.........go crazy, lol. The AC's entered here aren't supposed to be for battles anyway. You can put dual karasawa's and a Chimera on some walrus2's - I don't care. lol.
Just make your AC's look SEXY. That's the only requirement, SEXY. I may also give out points for cool names (gotta be creative and fitting).
