Code: Select all

[21:41]	<Pritam>	So what's everybuddy up to???!###¤|.:;-_,*'^^¨¨~~“´´?+\=0})9](8[/7{6&5%4¤3#2"1!23@><<<> ... fine ascii arté
[21:42]	<M_D_K>	lol
[21:43]	<Pritam>	I'll hand out $5 to whoever makes the best review of what it is
[21:44]	<Pritam>	I'd go with $20, but I just bought a couch
[21:45]	<Pritam>	$5 is is, be it paypal, microsoft points on XBL... or whatever accepts $5 from a VISA/MASTER card
[21:45]	<Pritam>	it is*
[21:46]	<Pritam>	I think eatcomix would be a good candidate wanting to get Bop n' Pop
[21:49]	<Pritam>	I'm taking this to the forums...
The competition deadline is ... 36 hours from when this topic goes public, post your ... "review" ... better word... hmmm... just describe what it "represents" to you or the feeling it gives... better word? Just do whatever, remember this is serious buisness, 5 USD's are on the stake for christ sakes!!!

Code: Select all

???!###¤|.:;-_,*'^^¨¨~~“´´?+\=0})9](8[/7{6&5%4¤3#2"1!23@><<<>
Post your whatever description in this thread and !YOU! may be the winner. If you want to be in the Jury, PM me.
You may cut any part of the ASCII "art" (damn, that rhymes), but remember to be creative.

Contest countdown

I remove my right to hand out the $5 if the winner can't cash it in. (I'm not sending it through snailmail, but if the winner pleases he could have the equivalent-ish amount in swedish money)

And remember, you may change your answer at any time before deadline.

Good luck everybody!

From left to right it's the most detailed ascii panoramic of a mountain side village on one line ;)

Starts off with part of a buildig, when then opens into a mountain view (lots of peaks). Then you see more of the village buildings some overlaying others; and lastly, the start of a forest.

so to sum up:

part of building

If I had an XBox I'd buy Bop N' Pop. Unfortunately I don't think 5 dollars will get me one, haha.
