iSoak'D 046: It's All Relative

Pro-tip: when pondering how *awesome* your blaster may be, don't forget to dodge.

Great! I'd think it would be funny if in you put in a pic of a backpack-modded HC like G-Jiv's, then had the HC n00b challenge him, then get hosed down for an exaggerated riot blast. Maybe I'll stop being lazy and make a comic strip. It's what all the COOL people are doing, lol. If I make a comic strip for the site, I can use your pics as long as I link to them?

The way I look at picture use, so long as pictures are used in non-commercial ways, help promote water warfare, and reference the original image, I'm fairly flexible. What I hate are when my pictures and reviews are used by others for personal gain (e.g. eBay auctions). Using armoury pics for creation of fun comics to be shared freely with the community is a ok use so long as reference links are included somewhere. Thanks for asking!

hahaha... IF this Soaker noob would use MY Hydro Cannon, he could easily beat up the SC 600, out-riot blast the Flash Flood, outrange the monster XL(since the CPS 2000 Mk1 bladder brings this great power with it) and then he would be pair with the CPS 2000 Mk1 in about. Some dodging and the CPS 2000 user would have a crazy riot blast flying to his body

Great COMIC !

Wow, and I thought I was a noob when I first got my Hydroblitz!

Best riot blast nozzle = 4100 typhoon busted up, though on second thought, the CPS 2000's shot works a lot like a riot blast too.

lol, once, I even saw a seller use your review, then say, Thank you to isoaker.comblah blahblah. No Joke!

Also, I think you should give just a few points for making a comic, and maybe extras for regular updates/more than a certain number of strips.

I thought about that before, but opted against it as I also opted against awarding points for water blaster reviews, building, modifications, and some other things. The goal of the iSoaker Water Warfare League is to get people to enjoy water warfare or, at the very least, help promote it. Battle reports means that members are actually battling. Fictional battle reports are accepted since they show what some members can imagine of what a water war can be. Comic strips, on the other hand, are really for entertainment and a few laughs. That's why they won't be considered for points.

That said, if someone wants to make a comic book and/or graphics novel on a water warfare story, that would fall into the realm of fictional water war report with pictures and would be worth points.

As is stated in the Rewards Points thread, there is also room for points for projects that help promote water warfare in a way I had not originally stated. If someone has an idea for which they'd like points for, but are unsure whether it'd count, just PM me or email me with the idea and we can talk about the possibility.

Amount of points for those sort of projects would be worth, well, it's all relative.

Soak on!
