Granted, there could be issues on a lottery system, but I was just trying to come up with a fair system when selecting Royal Member Avatars to star in a flash animation, the flash need not have an Avatar at all. Instead, we could just have an established character participate, like William, or even an 'anonymous' body double. In fact, I think in the immediate future, that would be the best route to take. I think I should remind you that this thread's intent was to discuss the content of a flash. I'll start with a few ideas:

A dreaming William with Mary

Ronald with Betty (playing off his botched attempt to spend an evening with her in issue #3)

'anonymous' body double with Scarlett

We should keep in mind that just because we put forth our ideas here does'nt mean they need to be put to use anytime soon. I'm sure they'll keep, our ideas.

I understand that, but it doesn't mean we can't establish what we want now, and when conditions are right, we can go right to it.

As much as you guys would like to hold off, I'm afraid you can't stop the progression of time.

As I originally tossed this idea to Vanessa sometime back in April or March, and was originally going to to do this on my own, though I didn't know the cost. So I'll gladly donate to this cause. Though, I had said before, if the site is struggling I would donate a little extra to the site.

I'll donate $150 to the cause. That puts us a bit over halfway.

So did we come to a final conclussion for what it'll be? I like the idea of being able to switch who it is.

Vanessa and I have discussed pitching in for the left over amounts that you guys can't come up with....

So let's get a tally of who the dontaters are.... (Aside from Vanessa and myself collectively covering the difference if we're short.)

We could have in the credits....

"This Flash animation was made possible by the following people... "

I'll help with what I can when I can as well. I'm afraid I won't know how much I can help untill the time comes, though. Oh, and that's a nice idea, Ronald, something all donaters can look forward to and something to help convince others to donate.

Once we figure out who the donators are and amount, we can start figuring out what the animation will be....

The current tally of pledges are as follows:
Myself: $50
Xebulon: at least $50
Chessy: $50 'range'
Labrn: $150

So based on the quote from Zone, we are 3/4 of the way from meeting his commission price, $400. But keep in mind that the price could go up depending on what kind of scene we settle on. Also to keep in mind is how long it would take for him to produce a flash. I don't think he whips these things out over a weekend. So the sooner we decide on what kind of scene and who would be in it, the better. Something else I forgot to take into account is giving the girls voices! Zone typically gives the girls voices based on samples from the source material. PBB has no voice actors that I know of, so while not necessary, it might be fun to cast for the voice of certain characters for use in the flash and other to come if this venture proves successful.

If we're almost there anyway, I can pledge $100 to put it over the top.

I had got the impression from.. something else I read... that we might be putting this on hold?

I'm slowly starting to catch up, hehe.

I can donate at least $50. As with Ashton, I will not know until the time comes whether or not I can give more.

Everyone, I'm so very grateful to everyone for the support! :o
I and Ronald will add what's needed for the payment, so if you want you can start sending the offers directly to Ronald, specifying the reason of the payment by Paypal.
In the end we'll check the total amount and if it's more than we need there are two alternatives: either we'll ask a commission with many characters or longer lasting, or we'll save the extra money for the second commission.
I'll add 50$ anyway.
Concerning the voices, I trust the good taste of the site and leave them the choice, of course I'll send some informative material about the character chosen. Ronald will do the commission and I and Martin will write the description.
Now we just have to choose what girl to use first among the main characters. As the man... well, the most logical choice is choosing William to make nobody unhappy, but if it could be done (by means of a good payment), given that the man's head is almost never seen... Zone could do some random male bodies to choose (doing the same movements)?
This way she could draw the bodies of the men who paid the commission!
It'd be enough to change the fur's color and the tail (if the head isn't visible) and change them by clicking on them, the movements would stay the same, the only problem is that she should draw a physique that's good for everyone, a bit muscular will be perfect. We'll have to ask first, do you have the link of the contact?

I finally got a chance to read this and catch up...Anyways, from what I can see it all sounds pretty cool by my opinion. Also I'll probally be able to donate 50 to 100 dollars.

Like hell you will! Your suppose to be saving for a vacation/holiday so you can take a well deserved break. :P

Besides, its a commission for the site. It wouldn't be right to have the site pay for it if its to be a gift from your adoring fans.

Well. Let's sort out who the donators are and the amount...

Then sort out what the animation will be....

Hold on to your money for now guys....

I'll provide you all the paypal information when we sort out all the details.

Okie-dokie! To make it official, I pledge fifty of your US dollars. =3

Ashton Gray · Joined: 15 Feb 2007 Posts: 4661

I agree with Labrn, Vanessa, keep your donation for your well deserved vacation/holiday. You've earned it a thousand times over and we'll be damned if you start subtracting from it now!

Gantros · Joined: 30 Jul 2007 Posts: 492

I'll make yet ANOTHER new post to try and discuss the flash content, please sticky it.

Easy there Gantros. As you've seen, things may go slightly if not totally of topic, but things do get accomplished around here. :lol:

Don't forget to go to the STICKY zone animation thread to pic what the animation will contain, unless your up for whatever.

Tursi · Joined: 06 Feb 2007 Posts: 599

I'm up for whatever - just want to give back a bit. :)

Well, be sure to at least go and place somewhat of a vote. Gantros is probably bouncing eagerly, for he's keeping track of the polls. He's ending it this month, and there are 3 subjects to vote on, so if all who havn't already, stop by and post for Gantros' sake.
