this forum is a little different than the SOTW discussion thread, being that it containts not only sotw but other graphics happenings.
things you can do:
- Discuss the next SOTW theme.
- Discuss another designer's current sig.
- Discuss the entries and other things SOTW related.
- no flaming other members.
- if you have a complaint with a member, don't litter the forum with them.
- keep negative, combative, and/or hassasing comments to a minimum
- not complying with XS rules(sig dimensions, multiple images, etc etc.), will get you warned.

IMHO I think it should be individual votes; but like in the past....don't vote for yourself or your team.

Example:
Team A:
Member 1 and Member 2 make a sig, Member 1 does the left half and Member 2 does the right.
Member 1 gets four votes for his half and Member 2 gets two votes for his half. So Team A got an average of 3 votes for their sig.
Team B:
Member 3 and Member 4 make a sig, Member 3 does the basics of the sig, and Member 4 does all the details.
Member 3 gets no votes for his part of the sig and Member 4 gets five votes for his part. So Team A got an average of 2.5 votes for their sig.

now to the subject
all of the tsotw sigs kickass, all look very nice, so far all of them look they have alot of teamwork going for them, not one of them has an element from one person overshadowing the others work. i iwsh i wouldve been able to sign up for the contest, but theres always next time.
btw, i got two new sigs to add here that i made while i was gone.
how do they look??? (and a half finished popout sig for the dd sotw... i never finished it... if anyone wants to psd to finish it you can have it, ill just have to upload it to filefront or something...)
and the half finished one, its a shame, someone should do something better with the sig, the car is such a beast...

Anyway, Yeah I don't like the thought of voting on each individual's work. It is a Team SOTW afterall like Metal said. I for one am glad metaldevil is here to put things in order and ocelot to screw them up*just kidding*
. Now let's get to voting and have some

I think it should just be everyone has one vote but votes for a team, not each individual, thats the point of TSOTW. I think metal probably said all this, but I skimmed and saw the word rant so i skipped it

it would require an arbiter but here we go
people would all sign up for sig/PMC contest
then said arbiter would message everyone seperately a different person from the registerd that they will have to simulate or mimic their style. Then when completed submit their picture back to the arbiter and would be posted anonymously.
I think it will work because everyone here knows each other fairly well and we have all posted a gallery either here or on DD, EMP, or Chopped, so people could do their homework.
whadya think?

nothign special really. .
we dont see much wallpapers around here. well i havnt. but .. but if the theme could be like abstract, grunge, grungstract or anything and make a wallpaper.. we have a lot of skill with people in sigs in some small or good size demenstions. maybe we should see wut ppl have skill with rather large areas. as in a desktop size or something.
it was just something that came to mind

- SOTW DESIGN THEME WILL GO HERE(whatever that may be, this will change obviously)
- Max dimensions are 450x140, no exceptions
- you may do any sig size beneath this one(as before).
- No animations - unless otherwise stated in the them, if theme permits you may not use it as your default Xbox-Scene signature(as this goes against XS rules).
- No nudity, racism, or suggestive themes are allowed
- your signature will be removed from the contest and you will be reported.
- Please follow proper Xbox Scene rules & guidelines, as we're still within the boundries of the rules even in the graphics section.
- You are allowed as many text-based changes to your entry as needed, and you are allowed 1 new entry
- this may include correcting a spelling error, or changing the subtext, anything else please contact a graphics moderator(Hazanko, Awal or metaldevil) if you have any question.

You know, because it's just a contest for fun, we really don't need to follow x-s's sig rules so long as we don't use them as sigs.
Like if you make a sig thats 450x200, that could be fine for the contest it's just you can't use it as your current sig. That way the 450x141 entry wouldn't have to be disqualified.
You could make animated sigs as an entry and use a still picture as your current sig.
Everyone wants to have fun here, but no one wants to be eliminated by a technicality. Maybe we could be a little more relaxed on the rules for the entries.
Rules for current sigs would be separate.

Post by: Hazanko on January 05, 2007, 07:48:00 PM
animated signatues are still a no-no in my mind... as i think that an animated signature is nearly a completely different breed than an un-animated one, and including both into a contest would not be fair. especially since people who use paint.net and other 3rd party software(software other than photoshop rather) wouldn't have an opportunity to submit anything animated. gotta keep things as fair as possible, while not completely nazi-tizing everything.
without question anything innapropriate should not be entered, for obvious reasons.
SOTW was closed earlier because moderation was a "bit" shorthanded, and flaming and the like was getting much too out of hand. us moderators aren't here to handle EVERY single little confrontation, not in my opinion should we be handing out warnings for miniscule things. it's deciding the line between everything that makes things much too complicated, thus SOTW was closed and discontinued for the above reasons.
rules govern everything, if there wasn't rules nothing would work - but at the same time too many rules can create trouble, and people rebel. while the new SOTW rules WILL be more leniant, there is no chance that rules are just going to be removed. the rules that i've come up with, in my opinion, level things off for everyone - and will help people using "other software" still have a fighting chance. the previous rules did more than just protect everyone's feelings, they protected them to the point where anything deemed "out of line" would be taken upon with a sharp scolding and a warning. finding the perfect line is what we've got to work on, so for now i think we'll stick with the current rules i've posted above - and we'll go from there.
i know i'm coming off maybe a bit strong in this post, but i'm just letting everyone know that all the previous flaming and everything that had gone on in the past is not tolerated, and if it happens again things will be put into motion. i know this hasn't happened yet but: please don't argue with the moderators, give suggestions(as you have been doing) and things will be thought about.
hopefully this cleared some things up for people - i'm starting the SOTW now!

Then again we could just through ideas around here too.
-winter theme
-cars
-chicks(always good)
-favorite foods
-pixel art (old school nintendo and sega grafix)
-comic strip sig (three or four cells 450x140 px.)
(btw i'm usually inspired by whats around me)
-computer sigs
-old relic sigs "a la" indiana jones
