PinkPT Subtext King/Queen 4---Congrats TDG

[Robert]

Robert, perhaps another way of determining between a tie? I dont think the randomness is too fair, I think they should either both go, or both stay.

I agree with WIS, maybe, judges post who they would like to stay or go out of the two. That seems fairer, especially considering how far in we are.

I have been trying to think up new ways for ties, but I won't be able to put them in until next game, only because we have had people go by randomizer before, and I have to stay that way to be fair. In the next game, I will try to find a better way.

Actually, I agree. Perhaps you could have the judges decide between the two. (And have an odd number of judges, or an even number with yourself not included, to prevent more ties. ) I'd be okay with both staying, as well as both going.

I can go- I don't mind.

If I am still in, then I'll use this as my subtext...
Rays of brilliance

I'll probably get voted out this round, so don't worry.

[Ammer]

The Sovereign Winds

I know, it sucks. I assumed considering the wind outlines were shown so clearly in this image that they were "above" all other winds. Meaning they were the King i.e Sovereign.

[Khristian]

Secluded Serenity

I know, bleh.

Good luck everyone.

Round Note: It would've been nice, if some people had focused on the Sun or something, other than the streaks. As I feel the sun plays a big part in it also.

Ammer - The Sovereign Winds
I agree with you, that the 'wind' seems to rise above all else... but I think the sun is... you know, above it. So maybe it should be 'The Semi-Sovereign Winds'? Or perhaps the Sovereign Sun. I do like the wording on this though. Sovereign was a nice word, it sounds nice and majestic.

Anoohilator - The winds of change...*fade*...come, blow my way.
Hmm, I have mixed feelings on this one. On one hand, the 'streaks' look really messy and look like they're changing directions or going against eachother. Which would make the subtext make sense... on the other hand however, I dont feel a fade is nessisary here. The wording also seems a bit bland.

Khristian - Secluded Serenity
Wha? This doesn't make very much sense. It doesn't seem very serene to me really... When I first saw the signature, I thought it looked like the wisps that jets leave behind. This just isn't a subtext that really connects to the signature. Sorry.

matterbug - Streaking through space
I like how you didn't connect this with 'wind'. But err... I dont like the wording of it very much. Especially the space part, when someone says space, I dont think of wide open space... but the moon and stars space. You could've said 'Streaking through the sky' and that would've been equally, or perhaps even more effective.

pattypus - Rays of brilliance
I'm not sure if you're referring to the sun or not. Because if you are, you could have made it more obvious by saying 'Rays of Shining Brilliance' or something like that. If you were referring to the streaks in the sky, then I dont see them as being 'rays', as they go curved. I wish you had made this clearer, and perhaps make it contain a bit more of the, 'sparkle and shine' words.

the_dog_god - Weaving the cosmos...
Weaving is nice, I really like the weaving part. It looks like the streak thingers are weaving in the sky. BUT, you said cosmos. I mean, cosmos sounds nice, but it doesn't give the right image. Perhaps you were referring to the fact that the streaks look like shooting stars, but it still gives it that 'outer space' feel. Which the signature doesn't have. Perhaps you could've said 'Weaving around the sun.' or something. And perhaps that would've been better.

My votes go to: Khristian, Matterbug, Pattypus

My votes go to: Khristian, Matterbug, Pattypus

See, I told you guys I'd get voted out.

And WIS, if you're wondering, I just picked that sub-text, because whenever someone in my class says something smart, my teacher says, "Woosh! Rays of brilliance!"

Was that in like, a sarcastic way? Or like, an encoraging way?

I think encouraging. I'm not too sure though.

[amarise]

I thought the previous rounds were hard. Boy was I wrong. This particular image has almost limitless interpretations, since it is not only a vague theme at best, but it also has no main text to clue you into what you're supposed to be feeling. Myself, I viewed it as a fireworks, Fourth-of-July thing, because the streaks look like firworks to me, and that white swirly thing looks like the American Flag. (I know, that's not what it is at all, but that's what I saw it as when I first looked at it. ) As such, my ratings will probably be very sparse this time around. I'll try to look for what I think captures the mood of the picture the best.






Ammer-The Sovereign Winds

This is a very good subtext, but I think the image is so majestic that this falls a little short. Perhaps something on a grander scale than just earthly winds.

Anoohilator-The winds of change...*fade*...come, blow my way.

I kind of like this. I don't really know how to describe it, whimsical comes to mind but I know that's not the correct description...... I like the flow of the words, too, they sound poetic to me. The only thing, I don't think it quite matches the grandness of the image, but it's very good. Oh, also, the fading really isn't necessary, since there's such a huge amount of open space on the image.

Khristian-Secluded Serenity

I personally don't think this matches up with the mood of the picture. I get more of a 'breathless wow' feeling from it, than a 'peaceful' feeling. However, I can see how someone else would view this as a 'peaceful and alone' image.

matterbug-Streaking through space

It's okay. I can see that it does look like someone's streaking through space. I don't think that this is really descriptive enough, though.

pattypus-Rays of brilliance

I don't really know how to judge this one. I like it one second, then I don't the next. I think those do look like brilliant rays of light, I just don't think it describes the picture that well.... I think it misses the grand awesomeness of what's going on in the picture.

the_dog_god-Weaving the cosmos...

I really like this one. It's grand, it's descriptive, and it's emotionally evocative. I really think it looks like space being woven together, and I think you hit the mark perfectly.


This was really hard for me, since I don't really think any of them were that bad. I'm basically picking out my three favorites, and voting for the other three. My votes go to Khristian, matterbug, and pattypus.

[Anubis]

and that white swirly thing looks like the American Flag. (I know, that's not what it is at all, but that's what I saw it as when I first looked at it. )

It looks like a jet plane to me. o_o;

[Atjj]

ok since it was my sig that I made, how many of you would like to see the whole pic?

EDIT: ok i didn't really make it, i just cropped it to where I liked it. *lol*

[Matterbug]

Yeah, I understand.

I went with space because I was thinking of planetary space. The link to the image said planetary, and I think Robert said that was supposed to be a space station maybe, so I thought maybe it was some kind of sci-fi space or whatever.

*shrug*

Ammer
The Sovereign Winds
I like that word. Sovereign. But like WIS, I don't feel like the "wind" is the main focus here. Again like he said, the Sovereign Sun would be magnificent. :)

Anoohilator
The winds of change...*fade*...come, blow my way.
I don't like it. I don't know what strikes me about it, but it just seems very borderline and generic.

Khristian
Secluded Serenity
Again, very borderline and generic. And wind isn't quite secluded is it? It's free spirited and can't be contained. So this subtext doesn't make a lot of sense.

matterbug
Streaking through space
Eh. This set is pretty much only Earth bound, no space to be had here. I like the use of the word streaking, though, so you've got that working for you.

pattypus
Rays of brilliance
Personally, I think this is okay. The streaks can be taken as far more than wind, and if you took them as rays, I look at that as a creative addition.

the_dog_god
Weaving the cosmos...
Personally I don't quite understand how people are voting Matt's out, and not this one. They both have the content of outer space, and that is in my opinion the very fact that makes them not good. Space is beyond the signature, not in it.

Matterbug, TDG, Khristian
