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

You mean the Elephants?


Yeah. It took my sister about a minute and a half to see them. (She was peeking over my shoulder, the fiend!)

Took me forever to see them too. Hard to fit them into a subtext >_< (emblazoned elephants....that was rubbish...)

I love it. 4 people. This won't take me but a minute. x)
Also, Anubis. I haven't had a chance to PM you. I put your username by mistake, it was meant to be Blk Mage. I'm very sorry.

Jade - Your subtext is almost too long. It is very nice, but you do have to take into account of the signature's small size. If you use a small subtext font, it will fit, but if you want to use something else (IE: arial), it wouldn't.

Renn - You kinda recognized the elephants with procession. Elephant feel good now. (It's pretty <3)

Fidds - I believe I rated a subtext like this a while back. It's rather blah. The subtext could maybe fade, but that's all I can think of it doing.

WIS - (Pwnsome. You're in WWitH. I was hoping you'd make it) Are you implying the elephants are big? :P Kidding. Course you are. It's nice, but, its missing something. I like it, though. ^^

YEARGH. This is a hard choice.
Fidds. :(

Oh deary me....we're down to four already!? :o

Wow, this is tense...

Only one person will be eliminated. This feels like American Idol. :P

Judge's Notes: This round was very well done; I was honestly not expecting a lot of you to step up but you all did. You all did really well and I can't wait till the last round to see what you all come up with. It was really hard to single out someone to be eliminated meaning that everyone did a good job overall.

I really like this one; it took me about a minute or so to understand what you meant by "beautiful dreams" - but now that I do, it's a really nice touch. You really described the signature well and I must say, overall, you did a very good job.

Rating: 9.75/10

Painted Procession

After some re-thinking, the word 'procession' does fit and it's a nice touch to the signature. 'Painted' is also a nice touch as it describes the elephants and the rainbow very clearly.

Rating: 8.5/10

Look beyond the rainbow veil...

The minute I saw you post this on the thread, I fell in love. It is absolutely wonderful! You really had me thinking when you said "look beyond" and when I actually did, I saw the elephants. Perhaps this subtext will show people the elephants hiding "within". And I do enjoy how you used "rainbow veil" besides something bland. Good job.

Rating: 9.75/10

WIS

I like this one; you have chosen a nice selection of words which were not used by any other participant. You really described the elephants and the rainbow colour itself in just one phrase. Good job.

Hm, I like this one but I don't think the word "Procession" really fits. I mean, it really doesn't look like a sort of celebration to me or anything which actually fits the definition of the word itself. I like how you used "painted" as it describes the signature very well.

How does "procession not fit? It doesn't mean celebration.

Procession: The act of moving along or forward; progression;
A group of persons, vehicles, or objects moving along in an orderly, formal manner.
The movement of such a group


The elephants in the signature are following one right behind the other, and they're walking (look at their legs), so I'd think procession fits quite well.

Interesting; the definition I had was,

A group of people or vehicles moving forward in a line as part of a celebration.

I'll re-rate your subtext.

I see how you tried to incorporate good words in here, but I think you tried a little bit too hard. The point of a powerful adjective is to be powerful, and if you have too many, it leaves you too powerful. A valiant effort, however.

.:Requiem:.
Painted Procession
Before you get mad, I do like it. It's a perfectly good subtext. However, it just doesn't have the extra "umph" that I find other's do. Your word choosing was good, though, almost poetic. And alliteration, though this is mild, is also great.

Fiddelysquat

Elephants! Someone finally mentions the elephants, yay! I like how instead of commenting about the elephants, you had a subtle key in saying they were there. The word veil fits nicely, too.

WIS
Radiant Curtains of Nature
Nice one. Very subtle, very describing, very good. It sounds a lot like Fidds', so if you want more on it, you can read her rating.


.:Requiem:.

Sorry.

Bangel-I'm not arguing my rating, here, but I think it's a little odd that you pointed out Jade_Em's "failure" as it were (all the things you disliked about her signature), and you pointed out all things you liked about mine, yet you chose to eliminate me.

I'm trying tobe argumentative or picky, I just thought that was kind of wierd.
