Okay, I amd going to have to be a bastard on this. Bunnerabb, rules are rules. The idea of these contests and cups is to see if restrictions can encourage funny stuff to come out, and if we don't follow the rules... well, there's no real point to having them. I have chatted to you on ICQ enough to know that you don't really enjoy that - you like making strips and having fun, and the rules kill your fun. That's cool - I love your strips, always have, and anything that might make them suck... well... fuck it. Anyway, I'm not your parents, and you don't need a lecture.
To cut a long story short: Get out of the pool, kid, you're disqualified.
Habnem technically wins by default, but when I prematurely killed the voting he was a single vote ahead. There were still three votes outstanding, so it could have gone either way, but... *shrug*
*sigh* I feel like a right bastard now. :(
On with the show... semifinal standings:
Bunnerabb

...and here we see the mighty chickadon, a swift, two-legged dinosaur, notable for its attractive form and sharp, dagger-like tongue. Fossil records suggest that it's primary adversary was this magnificent specimen over here - wirthlosaur - a strange-looking creature whose head made up most of its body weight. We can only imagine the battles these two prehistoric beasts must have fought...
1) (Drexelodont) This strip should be about traveling. Someone or someones in the strip must either be on their way to a new and exotic location, or already there seeing the sights and taking in the local lore... or perhaps becoming a part of it...
2) (Jeilaydeesaur) Someone in the comic must express sympathy for LadyJ's crushing defeat in the last round.
3) (Danosaurus Rex) Use the black background [u]and[/u] motion blur background. You can re-use either or choose a third for the other panel.
4) (Dexsonychus) Each character may only face each way once, and if you use them facing one way you have to also use them facing the other. In other words, your strip will have three characters (or props) appearing twice each, once facing left and once facing right. The actual order you use them in is up to you. You can have them change poses, if available.
Sorry for that bastard fourth rule, but the first three were a tad easy. Considering the bastard rules of the previous match, I thought I should even it up a bit. Voting, timing, as always.
Incidentally, now would be a good time to start thinking about your grand final rule. Everyone eliminated in rounds two and three (six of you) needs to submit a rule. Judging from previous cups, it is a good idea to keep the rules reasonably vague - try not to submit rules that could easily be contradicted by others. Sounds impossible, I know, but I have great faith in you all, grasshoppers.
