For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

:thinking: I noticed after I made my subtext which had the word "rise" people have been using that word but in a different way.

Hm, actually, amarise used "Arise" before you did ...

Does it really matter, though? :P Besides, you can't really be sure that other people took the word from you ... o_o

Bah. I know it cheesy. I had to so something with the whole "Red skies at night, sailiors delight, red skies at morning, sailiors warning" :P [/b]

Judging time!!! Ok, the way judging works has changed a bit. You are still to rate/review each subtext, and you are to pick people to eliminate. But the way you write your eliminations now matter. I want it to be in this format:

I choose to eliminate:
1. Joe
2. Bob
3. Suzy


The order you put the names in matters aswell. The person in position 1 is the person you think deserves to be eliminated most, the person in position 3 is the person you think deserves to be eliminated least. This information will only be used if there is a tie.

Judges, please rate and review and pick 3 people to eliminate by Friday December 2. Remember, post your ratings on the thread, and if you have any questions, ask!

Judge's Notes: I thought this round was done very well. There were some simple subtexts which didn't really work. Some did, but most didn't. But overall, good effort everyone!

_jade_em_
The skies ignited

I like this sub-text. I think it matches it very well and besides saying something such as "The sky on fire", you stated it sophistically.

Rating: 8/10

.:Requiem:.
Fire bathes the western skies

I like this one as well; I love how you used the word "bathes" and I believe that's what captures the emotion of this signature really well.

Rating: 10/10

amarise
Arise

This is an iffy sub-text for me; I mean, "arise" itself would make some sense here but I just don't really feel it.

Rating: 6/10

Anubis
Alluring Sunset

I really like this sub-text; it catches the beauty of the sunset nicely. Good job.

Rating: 8/10

Blk Mage
The Fiery Birth of A New Day

I like this signature a lot, it really helps one come across with the emotions of the signature.

Rating: 9/10

Fiddelysquat
*fade in* The dawn of a new day... *fade out*

I honestly don't really know about this subtext. I mean, it's nice but other than that, I don't see anything else.

Rating: 5.5/10

Forest_Majesty
Ethereal Blaze -fade out--fade in- Burning True

I like this one; although for some reason it doesn't spark as much originality as .:Requiem:.'s does. This is a very original subtext but I don't get that same spark from yours as I did with .:Requiem:.. But over all, it's a really good subtext. Good job.

Rating: 8.5/10

Jen
Land of the Rising Sun.

I like this one, and apparently you're describing Japan (According to CD) and well, that's a nice effect. Good job.

Rating: 8/10

Kidwaiy
Can't set if the sun doesn't rise

I don't know about this one, it's a cute subtext but I think this signature requires a more serious subtext. But good overall.

Rating: 7/10

mjrinella
Sunny Moments are life's quiet treasures

This one is another odd subtext; it's not really "sunny" in the signature per say but I can see where you're coming from. Just watch out next time.

Rating: 6.5/10

paperfacesX022
As the sun rises . . . *fade* as the sun falls . . .

This is an alright subtext; I don't find anything really special. It was a good safe one to choose.

Rating: 7/10

pattypus
Saying goodnight to the world

I like this one a lot, although it would fit better with a blue-ish signature. But maybe that part is just me. Anyways, I think it's a nice length for this signature and I really think you did a great job.

Rating: 8/10

sirclucky
Sailor's worst fear*fade out* Lovers draw near

I don't understand this subtext at all. I'm very confused and would like to know how this relates to love let alone a sailor.

Rating: 1/10

Stephanie
*fade in* The end of a perfect night...... *fade out* * fade in* The beginning of a brand new day...

This is an alright signature. I'm a bit iffy on the "Beginning of a brand new day" part but overall, good effort.

Rating: 7/10

Twinkle
Light on the horizon.

I really like this one, it not only shows what the signature is but you used some words which weren't used in any other subtext. Good job.

Rating: 9/10

WIS
Setting the skies ablaze

I like this one, it reminds me of .:Requiem:.'s but it still has the same effect. Good job.

Rating: 8.5/10

..Our fates fold in the half sun..

I really adore this subtext. It's really descriptive and has a totally new outlook on the entire signature. Good job.

1. sirclucky
2. Fiddelysquat

Dang it. Everyone dun got amazing.

Jade -- Kinda small...if would work if the subtext was larger. Nice job.

Req -- Interesting. I like it. Not much to say about it.

Amarise -- You would have far too much empty space with this subtext, and resizing it would only make the signature lose it's...erm...tone...power...never mind, unless the main text was small. Far too short, I'm sorry.

Anubis -- Nice job. You used the SUNSET, not the colour. I'll now say the following: TOO MUCH DEALINGS GOING ON WITH FIRE n_n. Fire scares DM. She was on fire once, remember that, friends.

Blk -- Eeeeek. Not fire. Anything but fire. The birth of a new day would've sufficed. Adding fiery just added a word. And scared DM. XD

Fidds -- Good. You did basically what I explained the Blk. You used the sunrise/sunset/whatever we figured it was.

FM -- I would probably need to look up the word ethereal in order to understand this subtext, but good job anyway.

Jen -- This one just doesn't have enough...flair, so to say. It's just BORING.

Kidwaiy -- I personally like this one. It's very cute, amusing, and all those other sickening words. <__< XD

mjrinella -- I'm so-so on this one. It's nice, but it doesn't have enough gusto.

paperfacesX022 -- THANK GOODNESS FOR YOU. You made sure that whether it was a sunrise or a sunset (I keep typing subtext <_<), the subtext would fit. Although, I think the fade overdramatizes it.

Pattypus -- I would have to agree with Ammer and say it would go better on a blue signature. Very nice, either way.

Sirclucky -- I, like Ammer, am confused. UNless you tried to incorporate the red sky at night, sailors delight thing, it didn't work...considering the sky is orange.

Stephanie -- Read paperfaces' rating. However, the fade fits yours. Very good job.

Twinkle -- I love it. Love it, love it, love it. Nothing else to say.

SIW-SIW (you know who you are) -- Not fire!! ;_; Why must you scare DM so? :P I like it, though. :P

Xil -- Like woah, this is good. I don't quite understand the half, since i think the sun is more than half set, but it's good.

Ho hum. Elimination is hard to do.

1: Amarise
2: Sirclucky
3: mjrinella

Judges note: Overall good job everyone. But a few people’s Subtexts were quite plain. I’m going to be harsh with plain subtexts in later rounds. Please take note of this.

The judge you all love the most wrote:_jade_em_ - The skies ignited – 9/10

I really like this one. It really captures the mood and emotion. Good job. ^^

.:Requiem:. - Fire bathes the western skies - 10/10

I love your wording here. You did really well. I like the word “Bathes” it makes me think of old books with stuff like that in them…

Amarise - Arise - 6/10

When I first read it I didn’t like it. But it grew on me. It has a sense of simplicity. I like it, I just don’t think it’s up to the standards of some of the others.

Anubis - Alluring Sunset - 5/10

It’s… Ok. I like the wording but it just doesn’t stand out too much.

Blk Mage - The Fiery Birth of A New Day – 7/10

It’s nice. I do believe it’s a sunset, but I understand there’s no way to know. The use of the words “Fiery Birth” is quite poetic. Good job overall.

Fiddelysquat - *fade in* The dawn of a new day *fade out* - 3/10

It’s very… predictable. I don’t really like the fades. The subtext could do without them. I can’t really say much more than that. =/

Forest_Majesty - Ethereal Blaze -fade out--fade in- Burning True - 9/10

This is really good. I love the word “Ethereal”. The subtext suits the signature quite well. I also like the fact you shied away from anything like Rising or setting because there’s no real way to tell. Nice job.

Jen - Land of the Rising Sun. - 5/10

I’ve already stated I’m not a fan of full stops in a Subtext. I’m kind of on the fence with this… I like the way you used Japan’s Nickname… but it just seems bland.

Kidwaiy - Can't set if the sun doesn't rise – 1/10

I really don’t like it… I like Subtexts to make sense but you just assumed everyone would know what you’re talking about. “The sun can’t set if it doesn’t rise” May have been better… But then that’s not a very good subtext in my view either. ¬_¬

Mjrinella - Sunny Moments are life's quiet treasures - 5/10

I’m on the fence with this too… It’s sweet, but it doesn’t make me sit up and say “WOW!”

PaperfacesX022 - As the sun rises . . . *fade* as the sun falls . . . - 5/10

I like it a little. The fade fits and it’s nice and all… I’m just doesn’t have the wow factor.

Pattypus - Saying goodnight to the world - 6/10

It’s sweet. It reminds me of childhood. *que ahhhhhh!s* Nice job.

I’m glad you changed it by the way.

Sirclucky - Sailor's worst fear*fade out* Lovers draw near - 4/10

It’s nice you tried to take a different route with the sig. But some people (Like Ammer) won’t know about the old sailor’s superstitions. For that I’m marking you down.

Stephanie - *fade in* The end of a perfect night...... *fade out* * fade in* The beginning of a brand new day... - 4/10

It’s… long. Even with the fade. I also don’t see the need for all the “……” It just uses up space…

Twinkle - Light on the horizon. - 4/10

It’s nice. But it’s a little plain. I’m not really a fan of Full Stops in subtexts though. I can’t really say more than that…

WIS - Setting the skies ablaze - 8/10

It’s nice, it sums up the image really well. Nice job.

Xil - ..Our fates fold in the half sun.. - 8/10

I like it. It’s quite poetic. It kind of reminds me of Lord of the Rings…
I don’t see the need for the “..”s though. Marks off for those

I choose to eliminate:
1. Kidwaiy
2. Fiddelysquat
3. Sirclucky


Just a note to Ammer: You can’t tell whether it’s a Sunrise or Sunset. I don’t think its fair you marked people down for believing differently to you.

I believe it's quite obvious it's a sunset.

Either way, my votes remain the same.

Thu Dec 01, 2005 12:48 am

Er its in the east. Clearly a sunrise. And as my whole subtext hinges on that... yeah :P

Thu Dec 01, 2005 12:52 am

sirclucky wrote:Er its in the east. Clearly a sunrise. And as my whole subtext hinges on that... yeah :P

How do you know it's in the east? O.o

Thu Dec 01, 2005 12:52 am

.:Compact Disk:. I respect your decision but I think I made it pretty clear that it is a sunset so if that is your reason for giving me a low mark then it's not a really good one. Besides everyone else understands that it is a sunset.
