File Description
LMAO!
ok, I am explaining this at length for people that will find this file in the future without having been here for the past few weeks, skip down quite a bit if your just after my review :)
A couple of weeks ago we held a poll on the POTD's:-
http://armada2.filefront.com/news/PoTD_Poll_Results;29115
which came out with DONUTS being one (1) singular vote away from being the order everybody wanted the POTD's posted in. Yes, we were wondering ourselves...
Anyway, in retaliation I posted up this POTD:-
http://armada2.filefront.com/potd/67459x#1006869
hilarity ensued. Then at no.11 Falcon posted:-
#11 - wow! - Posted by: Falcon_uk (Member) on 09-07-2006 at 11:49 GREAT GRAPHICS!! Love the phaser fire and the romulan class donuts!!! 10/10!!
Which gave me an idea...
#12 - Posted by: Freyr (Armada 2 Files Staff) on 09-07-2006 at 12:08 WANTED
One moddeler to create the "Donut" class confectionery. Ideally this class should be plain when constructed and chocolate covered when assimilated.
Fahres has rose to the challange and produced not only a Donut, but a Donut box as well! As you can see from the pictures this is great! Producing the donuts (even chocolate coloured when assimilated!) was great, and worthy of a ten all by itself but the Donut box is just pure brilliance! The writing on the bottom of the box was really the best thing added to the Donuts in terms of sheer humor :)
Unfortunately the filefront system won't allow me to mark things up as 11 or 12, so I am having to content myself with 10.
