great...!!!
i got my favorite topic!!!
RAWRoutLOWD said about 1 month ago
wow, you guys are awesome, thanks for the encouragement. I’ll make something that’ll kick CT’s ass... well hopefully.
explodingtoes said about 1 month ago
we need to have a tee-battle submissions thread. a thread with no conversation, but just a list of each pair and their submissions, so everyone can easily view both submissions and vote.
im afraid with 64 submissions, things will be bumped off the front page very quickly.
i think someone had something setup like this in a blog or something for the tee-off.
think it would help immensely. might make it easier to just vote for one person out of each pair as your favorite.
samra111 said about 1 month ago

jimmyheartcore said about 1 month ago
We have a bi-monthly meeting in Boise, ID at the Kiwanis Club Local #232 from 7pm-10pm. Be there next month and you’ll get your welcome packet, which has all the guidelines, etiquette and rules. You’ll also be given an Emptees member #. You can use that at all participating tee shirt sites to get huge savings of up to 65% off!
If you can’t make it out, you can just mail in your dues along with a photocopy of your license and Social Security card that have been certified by a Notary Public. Once Emptees recieves that they’ll mail out the welcome packet and member card. They will have to be signed for by you upon delivery.
You will have to be there for the annual initiation ceremony. Lucky for you, this year it’s being held in Macon, GA so it won’t be too far for you.

Curbed said about 1 month ago
How is the winner of each round decided? Just by loves? So typically you’d have a better shot at winning the earlier you get your design up? and how long does the voting go for - like until the winner is announced?
By the way - I just booked my vacation for next years meeting. Now to find the plane ticket for Macon.
illdthedj said about 1 month ago

isaboa said about 1 month ago
quick tee battle question:
I am working up a design for the battle - but say I also would like to use my battle design as a tless sub ... is that kosher?
designisvoice said about 1 month ago
How do I get in on these battles?
gaunty said about 1 month ago
yep
illdthedj said about 1 month ago
there was a sign up a little back...my guess is after this one is over there will be another after it. im not sure how often there are battles, since i am a semi-noob ;p
about how many tee battles per year would you guys say?
Jon Kruse said about 1 month ago
of course
andrE w. said about 1 month ago
weve had 2 tee offs before this one, so i guess we have 3 a year, sound about right everyone?
isaboa said about 1 month ago
thanks gaunty, jon kruse, just confirmatin'
sittingduck said about 1 month ago
of course that’s kosher, emptees claims no rights to your design.
isaboa said about 1 month ago
yeah, I was not meaning design rights...
i was thinking more along the lines of respecting the battle
ya know giving it original dedicated work
I am all about respect -
DrewGliever said about 1 month ago
you can always recycle your designs in the battles and junk.. people have done it and it’s just a good idea!
Jon Kruse said about 1 month ago
So I’m against Kolby?
isaboa said about 1 month ago
GOOD LUCK EXPLODINGTOES!

Cole said about 1 month ago

jimmyheartcore said about 1 month ago
Dude the idea you had on the couch the other night was awesome. I think you’re going to slay with it - as soon as you get it up.
warholbot said about 1 month ago
LOL... I think you’ll do good. Mines not doing great yet
Cole said about 1 month ago

make planes not waste said about 1 month ago
so we got til tomorrow at 9pm? sweet
illdthedj said about 1 month ago
hey just curious...
ive submitted my tee submission already, but on second look i kind of want to make a few last minute minor tweaks...is it cool to do a little bit of redesign before the deadline on friday and resubmit the tee image, or is there some sort of rule that im not aware of where once youve submitted a design, thats it...
stumpyhorse said about 1 month ago
i wish i would have seen this when people were signing up. next time i guess!! this is going to be awesome!!
andrE w. said about 1 month ago

Hey could we please all put a link into the description of your opponent..

Sorry guys I know this was probably stated in the original battle bracket - but can anyone clarify how winners are chosen? Sorry for the lame question ;)
Ameeee said about 1 month ago
Amount of loves..

nate gonz said about 1 month ago
submissions are now over right?
quakerninja said about 1 month ago
add an ish to 9. I’m west coast I don’t know whats going down in floridian time. It’s only 6:30 hear, how about between 9pm-midnight, I don’t want anyone winning because theres not a sub, thats bull. Say three hours more then lock this puppy down when it’s over. do we know. Feel me.
nate gonz said about 1 month ago
im in maryland
quakerninja said about 1 month ago
oh.
layne said about 1 month ago
I might be mistaken, but my opponent redemptionclothing did not sub anything (at least nothing I can see in the bracket thread) - does that I mean I get a bye to the next round?
BTW - you can view
my submission a "Metrosexual Recovery Guide" here (shameless plug sorry)
RustyEight said about 1 month ago
He submitted it 2 hours late, its up to jimmy whether or not it gets in.
quakerninja said about 1 month ago
he did Design here but I think that it was late, In Jimmys defense it was clear at the top,
These entries are DUE BY FRIDAY OCTOBER 3rd, at 9PM EST.
The debate is if there is any leeway or if its a cut off right on the nose as it were.
I just want everyone to earn it no offense to you, as it is now you will get a buy.
layne said about 1 month ago
ahh okay thanks for the link ;) I have to say living in Cali 9pm EST only gives us until 6pm and considering artwork cant really be finished sometimes (personal projects at least) until the evening basically means working on your piece on Friday is not an option - I think the deadline should be at least midnight EST - maybe even midnight PDT - I think everyone who was late today should get in and next time we can be hard on the deadline.
Ameeee said about 1 month ago
Can I just say that as soon as the thing is announced, we all have exactly the same amount of time. So if Jimmy announced shit at 9am his time - then it’s 6am your time - meaning it evens out.
If you’re going to enter in the competition - makes sure you have a wee bit of spare time to participate. 5 days is a good amount of time to come up with something.
itcamefromthesky! said about 1 month ago
For realsies!
downrodeo said about 1 month ago
guys, don’t want to be a dick or anything, but I’m in Asia and was not too sure about the time difference tween here and there. I rushed mine and subbed something pretty much unfinished because of the dateline. I had to work on it at 3 am here, just to meet the timeline/dateline. And like what Ameeee said, it totally makes sense. I gotta agree with Nate on this.
Ameeee said about 1 month ago
I still think that the 3 should be included - because it was seriously a bit of first round confusion + it’s in the spirit of the game.
Next time though, 9am est should still stand - just get your time zones figured out.
If Edgil and I get through - then it 11am on Saturday for us.
JonPaul said about 1 month ago
not that my opinion matters much (cause im a noob here) but i cut out of work early today to meet the deadline cause i figured the deadline was strict. Im not apposed to letting people enter their tees a little late but if i was late i dont know that anyone would be sticking up for me..... just my 2 cents
herky said about 1 month ago
sorry emptees, was overwhelmed this week and could not meet the deadline for this battle:(
Jon Kruse said about 1 month ago
Word. People need to take a chill pill and stop complaining. This is for fun so stop acting like it’s the end of the world if a design is in a little late.
gaunty said about 1 month ago
You don´t know how bummed I am...seriously!
Ameeee said about 1 month ago
You called him out as a potential winner hey? Or was that Edgil?
gaunty said about 1 month ago
Amy you get even less time than Americans like a day less haha no wait of I´m confuused...ah wait..POP there goes the last remaining brain cell.
Ameeee said about 1 month ago
Hahah, nahhh - when it was announced on the sunday, it was monday for me, and I had till my Saturday to submit. It’s all the same :)
Haha, I was so confused as well when I posted that!
downrodeo said about 1 month ago
same here ameeee, I’m about 2-3 hours behind you as well, so it can get a lil confusing sometimes.
Also, maybe a vote on the entire subject? Those who had subbed a 'lil late for this first round?
illdthedj said about 1 month ago
lol i think im going to have the least votes!
woot! no where to go but up!
downrodeo said about 1 month ago
dude, I’m not far ahead of you, let’s just put it that way!
sittingduck said about 1 month ago
i wonder if i’ll catch gaunty, I think i took a big risk on mine.
sittingduck said about 1 month ago
:D
Ameeee said about 1 month ago
Yeah you did - but it’s such a good concept.
downrodeo said about 1 month ago
So like what happens if there is a draw? Was there ever a draw in the previous Tee Offs?

i bought a tablet a few weeks, ago, and i just got the scanner working ( college kid i buy everything surplus/used ) i had a tight illi that was going to be the photo shirt, instead i went with a tired concept i guess. idea was nice anyway, my execution needs......pizazz.
i guess i never fully processed 9/11.
MykeCatastrophic said about 1 month ago
I feel like a total douche, but I’ve had so much on my plate this past week that I wasn’t able to finish anything by last night’s deadline.
I’m really sorry about that, ez-kun, but good luck in the next round!
Randomentity said about 1 month ago
no deepee means i get a bye!
