Acronym Contest

Status
Not open for further replies.
Ok, this is a completely random contest being judged by me and Drago_Del_Fato. I thought up the contest and rules while in the car on my way home from camp.

This is an Acronym contest. We'd like to see who can come up with the best words for the acronym USA (United States of America does not count).

Please submit your answers in this form

Code:
[b]U[/b]: U__________
[b]S[/b]: S__________
[b]A[/b]: A__________

You are allowed to use one additional word such as 'the' or 'of' somewhere. The prizes will be as follows (all made and provided by Drago_Del_Fato):

First Prize:  Fan-art you want in what pose and clothes you wish.
Second Prize: Face of a character of your choice.
Third Prize: Mage Battler (goes with no sprite).

You must credit Drago_Del_Fato if you use his art.

The contest will accept entries for two weeks (ending July 28th), and the winner will be announced at latest one week after that. Please place your entries in the thread, not through PM.

You should submit your answers here, just so we don't get duplicates. I'll try to keep a list of people who've entered and what they said in the first post so nobody repeats anything... We don't want any repeats :wink:

Stupidity is already taken!  Make a charity for something original!

Besides, you posted in the wrong format *cough*thread top*cough*
 
I'll count that. Whatever you have, I'll take... Just for all of you, try to avoid swearing in the future. It's allowed, but I don't prefer it ;)

And Akinari, there are limited numbers of words in this world. I'll allow repeats of words, but the reason I posted the no repeats thing was so people didn't repeat the whole phrase :P
 
U: Urine
S: Soaked
A: Animal

(btw this contest is really stupid it's basically like FORUM GAMES but with "prizes"*term used loosely))

mind giving us examples of this Drago_Del_Fato's work so we know what we're "competing" for?
 
I know the contest is stupid. I just had an idea, and I ran with it... But I guess I'm allowed to do it, seeing as an admin posted here and had no complaints :wink:

Here's some of Drago_Del_Fato's pencil/paper work, as well as a few of his computer art things. You can't see them large unless you have an account, and it's in his native language, so...

As an FYI, the magician the third place person can win is in the third post :wink:

And Viridian, it's ok that you didn't do it... But if I host more random contests in the future, try to keep the format :wink:

You must be joking. Why not just post the images here? It's not like anyone can really gather much from just those thumbnails(well, you can, but not very much). Seriously, man.
 
Are you saying that you don't have access to his works? If you don't then how can you be close enough to the man to get him to agree to draw the prizes for this contest??? This whole thing doesnt add up
 
We're friends through the internet. He actually helped me finalize the rules and such, and he was the one who suggested that he draw the prizes. If he randomly disappears when the prizes should be dished out, then this contest will be just for fun... Or I might be able to have some of my other friends make some things. I have two friends who are great scripters, and one who makes really nice animations.

Here are the images he had:

Here's the computer art, the stuff that will really matter... Probably...

And here's what you win with third place:

And there here's his pencil art (the first two are the same, but the 2nd one is shaded differently):
