Define Cynical store

[Foxchild]

oh, i just got an idea... I'll post a poster idea in just a sec, gotta find the right images and quotes.... ooh, this will be good!

[Burning Sheep Productions]

I think Simpson should make the posters, cuz he's not limited to the tiny pixelized images we have acess only to.

[dobbs]

I could vectorize the pixelated versions, but that could take a while. I would need to be committed to the project.

[Burning Sheep Productions]

That would be really good, if you do do it, I'll give you a trophy for doing such a task.<br>But before you do anything of thge sort you'd have to know what you're going to vectorize.<br>BTW: What do you use as a vector-image editor? Is it free?

I don't know any free vector image editors. I used to know free versions of everything. Man, I've really lost it.<br><br>Of course, some would argue that anything is free if you know where look... About which, you will hear no more from me.

Ohhhh Shiney!<br><br><br><br>I think if this thing will ever get off the ground a small group of people (<10, probably <8 or even <6) should get together and discuss every aspect in this in a live medium (like a chat). If enerybody just throws out their varius ideas it will never get off the ground. I think if people are serious about this they should set up a thread to nominate and ellect 5 or so people that should plan this out. Every detail.

[Foxchild]

I'd be willing to help ith that.

[Dr. Doog]

we have to make have inside jokes. like, a single black or dark blue shirt with a single line or so of white text with a single inside joke. like:<br><br><br>"Oooohh... shiny!

[erikbarrett]

The biggest thing is that any Define Cynical merchandise would have to be membership-based, not Ozy and Millie-based. If we're making chicken hats and Llewellyn Inaction Figures, I think we should send the products to David so that he gets the profit. It's his product, after all.<br><br>I'm also noting that you're catering to a very small audience. How many people would buy the stuff? Define Cynical membership is less than 200, and not all would be interested in this. There might be a problem covering basic production costs...<br><br>I'm not trying to kill the idea, just point out a few things.

[Foxchild]

it's produced on an "as need" basis. Midnight has a CP store, and it's, I believe, a certain percentage of what is sold. I'm pretty sure that there isn't any base fee.

[norsenerd]

But if someone did make somethign like a chiken hat or a Llewellyn inaction figure then they should certanly get some money too. That is totaly diferent form lets say.. a t-shirt design. This would obviously be worked out in-between the invetor of such a contraption ond DCS. I don't think DC would have any claim over it. I think this is more for DC t-shirt designs and what not. It dosn't have to be O&M bassed. I bet Tavis' shirts would sell like hot cakeks, especialy if the smeld like hot cakes.

[Tavis]

I think the best approach to this is finding stuff that is uniquely Define Cynical or more precisely uniquely the community that makes up Define Cynical. The t-shirt thing sticks out, as do any random absurdities uttered and later quoted by members in the board to the point of being a running gag. Pyromaniacal quotes come to mind, as do "Oooh, shiny!", "Surrender your candy!", and lately the phenomenon of spontaneous 'sploding by its members.

How 'bout a black tee with one of Hobo's old 'sploderiffic avatars? I'd buy one <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

You have to pay if you want more than one design on the same type of item, however; for example, two different t-shirt designs require a fee. I believe said fee is five dollars a month to have as much stuff as you want in the store. Just so you know...

[Dr. Doog]

hmm, that would be WAY too risky to sell stuff from (adult sites) or whatever since you have to pay to be a member.<br><br>*FoxChild: sorry, got a few complaints about this.*
