ROUND 04
The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
Challenge 04: Cops and Robbers
Cops and Robbers, sometimes called 'Team Tag', 'Chase', 'Police and Thief', 'Prisoner's Base', 'Jailbreak' or 'Manhunt' has players split into two teams: cops (the 'it' team who are in pursuit) and robbers (the team being chased). The cops arrest the robbers by tagging, and put them in jail. Robbers can stage a jailbreak by tagging one of the prisoners without getting tagged themselves. The game ends if all the robbers are in jail. In a variant, the robbers have 5 minutes to hide before being hunted, and only one jailbreak may be allowed per robber. - from Wikipedia.
It's pretty obvious that there's a balance of good and bad in the world. Without the criminals there'd be little need for authorities like cops, lawyers and judges. And without laws and law enforcement, there'd be chaos. This week (and a half) we'll be exploring this idea in two icons. You must make BOTH icons. You cannot do one or the other.
COPS CHALLENGE
The first icon you will make must have a character who is an authority figure. This includes any one in law enforcement, religious figues, rulers, law makers, parents, teachers, "The Man"... or anything else along that line. Additionally, your icon must use the crop assigned to your team.
PIRATES: center crop*
NINJAS: upside down
ZOMBIES: left crop
ROBOTS: right crop
* either centered along the bottom or not touching any side will count
ROBBERS CHALLENGE
The second icon you will make must have text that pertains to breaking the rules/law. Additionally, you cannot icon from the same series your identity character is from.
participation
The challenge is open to all participants who remain.
