"chat, do we tell him?"

:(

it would have been better if you added some kind of description and adhered to the basic ruleset of this battle... just saying
i'm not a mod though

Hey Ludvig

It seems like you do not get what this battle means. Okay, so lemme explain it.

Future Battle is where a botbr submits a concept for the next major battle. And major battle is a battle that runs several days (usually 30 days, but this Future Battles IV only lasts 2 weeks; maybe there is an extension? Who knows?). Unlike XHB (X-Hour Battle), which only lasts 1-4 hours entry period.

And now you have seen these format in this Future Battle: mixbattle_art, chipbattle_art, gamebattle_art, and visualbattle_art. So, what are those in common? Those battle formats! It's intended to "make us a cover art image". The first 2 can be found in seasonal major battles (Spring Tracks, Summer Chip, and Winter Chip), but not all major battles have this format. Meaning you don't make a cover image as it's already provided. I think you have followed it right, as you have submitted a cover art and it's a square image! But not completely. Why? Because you have to tell us what voting category and battle formats!

The voting category is intended to vote for someone's entry. It's up to your interpretation! In major, there are 5 voting categories here. So provide 5 of them. Battle formats is some sort of file type of submission! (eg. allgear, visuall, etc. including mixbattle_art, chipbattle_art)

tl;dr, you should not just be submitting a cover art but also providing the voting category and format.

Also, consider read the lyceum (botb wiki)

that aint right

@Collidy "(usually 30 days, but this Future Battles IV only lasts 2 weeks; maybe there is an extension? Who knows?)"

puke7 essentially confirmed in the major's comments that there will be no extension by saying:
"this battle is short to minimize the awesome choices
[...] we're already looking at more than enough ideas to get us through 2 years of monthlies"

@big_lumpy
Thanks for the heads up! So that means this is the last day for making entry then :)

_{^{(good luck Ludvig)}}

probably the best submitted idea to this battle

this is botb's 4'33"

If BotB's so great, why isn't there a BotB ii?

This could actually be a plain text battle where you have to imagine the bitpack for this battle
