For those who have raised questions about my siren contest (post
#11706):

* It is being conducted with the full knowledge of Sarapis.

* Sarapis knows full well that I�m the artist responsible for the
gallery referenced [www.giacomart.com], and has seen me produce work to
his own specifications.

* The _minimum_ award for winning the contest is a custom portrait worth
roughly 2,000,000 gold, based on my usual commission rate and the
current credit market. More prizes will be awarded based on the
enthusiasm of the voters, per the rules posted for contestants (femme
post #54).

* I _do_ intend to raise money with the contest, as stated up front, but
will consider the contest a personal success if I raise even a quarter
of my usual fee for the founding of the Universitas Sapiens.

* I cannot possibly find time to paint all the lovely ladies I would
like to. I have to find some way to pick and choose.

* I could simply have held an auction. That didn�t sound fun. I prefer
games.
