Time To Make Silly Discussion.

[Carlman]

ALIHISGREAT, if you made mention of a contest in the "potato potato cannon" thread of course I would give you credit for and talked it over with you.

I just checked to be sure there was nothing said about a contest in that thread that I seen as of the time of this post.

Carlman, don't ever again accuse me of doing something I did not do! YOU (Carlman), should know better then to do that.

excuse me jrrdw but you made a pigen contest out of someone elses idea without asking for permission or giving credit, thats just plain wrong mate

No, I did not! You are wrong and don't know what your talking about!

Im taking this to PCGUY, Youve overstepped it mate

[jrrdw]

Maby.

Why do you want to know?

just thought that some sort of acknolegement should have been included if you used his idea..

i did post about him stealing my idea... but it disappeared.... (it could have been my crazy internet though...)

I deleted it because it is/was in the contest thread. You are more then welcome to join/enter the contest because at the time of your post there the discussion thread, (this thread) wasn't posted yet, it was in the making.

its still my idea though.

[jrrdw]

hmm you just gave me an idea... a spudgun... made out of a spud... genius!

Thanks for clearing that up/pointing it out.

Yes, making a cannon out of a potato is your idea. Totaly. I assumed you where refering to the contest being it's being discussed in the contest thread.

[jrrdw]

Can the chamber be wrapped in something, if the inside is all patato

No, just a plain old potato chamber.

the point is, i didn't recieve a PM saying; "hey ali, would it be all right to base a contest around your fantastic idea of a potato potato gun"

[jrrdw]

Yes ALIHISGREAT, I understand and sent you a PM with explanation. My apologies. You have been given due credit in the starting post. I hope all is good between us on this?

Alihisgreat: Yes, he stole your idea. It was wrong, but you're making a big deal out of it. If it was some revolutionary idea or something I know I'd also be mad, but as soon as you post it online without a patent it's fair game for everyone.
That's why I generally keep my ideas to myself for a while until I decide to build them (if I decide to build them... if not I'll share the idea with everyone).

Ok guys, I beleive the matter has been setteled. Any other question about this should be sent via the PM service to who ever you want to ask.

does it have to be a standard potato?
or can we use plants from the potato family?

Standard potato.

[john bunsenburner]

can we use some kind of glue in the chamber, its pretty hard to hollowit out and then attach a barrel and to have it all air tight

[jrrdw]

As long as the chamber isn't lined with glue.


There is going to be some mandatory picture rule changing, I will let you all know when I figure it out and post it up.

If anyone has a suggestion or thought about the rules, feel free to share. I want this to be fun for every one to join in on or just admire from a far or what ever. The idea is to have fun!

[john bunsenburner]

sorry for being dumb but what do you mean by a chamber lined with glue, my english sucks sorry.

How would one win such a contest? performance? looks?
