Signature of the Month - December Edition!

Me neither, using the work of somebody else should not be allowed. But you already stated that in the rules, didn't you? So shouldn't those people be disqualified? (unless they make another signature) (no offense by the way )

 

I still think it's better that we have an anonymous poll.

 

no changing. lol. your entry is fine really. no one can beat masterchief. xp

place a video on the sig? who? i think animation and effect is fine, video is laggy. =\

yah i think it should be anonymous, now they know. anyway goodluck to all. :thumbup:

 

This is the first SotM so some slack will be cut. As long as the .gif or .swf or whatever was made by hand it doesn't really matter (for now) that they use other people's art work. The time they put to make it into a compilation makes the piece their own. As for anonymous polls, we still need to be able to keep track of who voted and more importantly why; therefore for that to work Inside Sin will need a bigger PM box although not a bad idea.

 

I'm against that all ''who voted and why'' thing. What it matters is which signature people like the best.

 

Let's say everyone wins, gets 200 minerals and goes home.

 

Lol Kuvasz.

I think i might just make a bulletproof way to get everyones votes counted fairly and a reason why in the making...


Hmmm.

I am thinking that, we could make it private until the ending of voting, but we could only do this by PM atm, so its pretty hard. How about we do this...

We create a poll which is got all the signatures on it. People vote on the poll according to which one they want to see win. The votes will be hidden until poll ends.

But....

When you place a vote in the poll, you have to PM me "WHY" you voted that signature in the poll. It would eliminate all the people who just vote and leave without saying why. I'll have plenty of space in my PM box, i hope... If not, i'll delete some PMS.

But i hope this should be an awsome way of dealing the winner.

REMEMBER, WE START TO VOTE IN A WEEK! ( 24th of December, Australian Standard Time. )

 

Here is my entry for December's Signature of the Month:

Just make a poll that hides the results till the end and people just have to post for who they voted and why.
That should be enough.

@ImaGiNe.
That's a really nice signature you made there, you made a great border for this one. :good:

 

But WHY do we need to know who voted why? It's stupid. Let's just make a poll and who gets more votes wins! Like in the wallpaper competition.

 

At Fo®Saken:
Why thank you kind sir! It is much appreciated.

At -|LT|-:
I believe the reason why he wants people to submit votes via PM is to sort out the legitimate ones from all the illegitimate ones who just click on an item to vote and will prevent creators from voting on their own creations. Though it would take a lot more time and effort, it is the only safe way to go.

To be honest though, the anonymous voting is the faster method and people can vote without saying "I liek this one because all the others are teh suck!11oneone" If we do go with the PM voting method, I would have to say that Inside Sin should be impartial in these competitions and therefore should not participate in any SOTM.

 

Whatever. Which is that font in you Happy Holidays signature?

 

I guess it's a Christmas font.

But I don't really care about the voting anymore, it takes up to much time to discuss all this. Just decide and let the voting begin at the date we decided earlier. :-\

 

Okay.

We have all decided we are going to just go with a poll where you can't see anyones votes until the end.

This way you can't vote according to Group, and it shows what the percentage of people want to vote for.

I hope this is a good way, if it goes terribly wrong, i will change it around next month. But this should go fine.

Okay?

We are just making a poll!

 

Finally we came to a nice decision, when is the voting going to start?
(And what about those animated arts with other peoples work in it? Can they still join the competition, or will they have to make another one. Personally, I don't really care, but I think people only should use their own work...)

 

Well, we will make it a RULE. That if you use something such as Zeratuls Ghost, you need to prove you created the background the .GIF is running on. Otherwise it should be disqualified.

But, from now on ( After December's Comp. ) You will only be aloud to use animation in Animation Themes. They will be speicified in the Month's Comp.

I will edit the SOTM Guidelines after this month.

Voting will commence on 24th of December in AUSTRALIAN TIMES.

Anywhere between 10am - 6pm.

If i have a reason i am not online, i will start it the following day, or the day before.

Thanks, Inside Sin.

 

Finally someone listened to me! ;D

 

Hey! Where is my entry?!

 

Lol, maybe he is scared that you might beat him and "accidentally" forgot you
But it doesn't mater that much now, the voting hasn't started yet.

 

what about my sig? does it count? i never drew any of those so im assuming its not qualified

waddya think?
