Hi all, This is a challenge that I hope will get some more people posting to rec.arts.ascii as it has gone very quiet of late. The challenge is to come up with the best[0], Haloween related, picture. I will anounce the winner on 1-Nov. I can't offer much as a prize accept my congratulations and possibly some web space for the winning picture. (Please remember to change the tag to [PIC] for pictures.) -- Graham Drabble (Head Moderator - rec-arts-ascii) Posting Guidelines: <URL:http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/asciiart/> Submissions: rec...@gweep.ca.

Just a quick reminder to anyone who ws thinking of submittin a picture, the deadlines tomorrow night. Also I forgot the footnote. It should read: [0] In my view which probably won't agree with everyone elses. -- Graham Drabble (Head Moderator - rec-arts-ascii) Posting Guidelines: <URL:http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/asciiart/> Submissions: rec...@gweep.ca.

Many thanks to those of you who entered, the standard was good even if the turnout wasn't great. The winner is the following from Bill Taylor. My congratulation to him. > ____________________________________________ >|/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\| >|/| |\| >|\| |/| >|/| _____________ |\| >|\| _ || ___ || _ |/| >|/| __ {_} _|| /_/\\ ||_ {_} _________ |\| >|\| (_) || (~O-O~) || (_) |/| >|/| | || \_o_/ || | |\| >|\| ________|| / \_/ \ ||______________ |/| >|/| || / |___| \ || |\| >|\| || \__|_)| / || |/| >|/| ________|| |___|/ ||_______________ |\| >|\| || | | || |/| >|/| || | | | || |\| >|\| _______|| | | | ||_______________ |/| >|/| ________||___|_|_|___||_____________ |\| >|\| `.

Unfortunatly all the while I'm at uni I don't have access (I must get round to moving it somewhere else soon) so it won't be until early December. If anyone's got any suggestions for other challenges or anything else then please let me know. My current thought is to do something similar over Christmas / New Year. I agree with what those of you who said about pictures from other parts of the world. I'm UK based and don't really have the knowledge to do anything about it myself but will be happy to listen to advice. Finally if anyone else is interested in becoming a moderator then please mail me. All it involves from a technical point of view is sending the odd e-mail to the mod bot when a post needs hand moderation. However what we really need is some people who have the time and knowledge to promote the group and make sure people are aware of its existance. Unfortunatly I don't have time to do that. Congratulations once again to Bill. -- Graham Drabble (Head Moderator - rec.arts.ascii) Posting Guidelines: <URL:http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/asciiart/> Submissions: rec...@gweep.ca.
