well since my thread about competitions in the general discussion forums turned into shit very fast i thought lets take it to a more serious level here since some ppl were interested.
the contest can basicly work like the previous ones, with the exeption that we dont have LCD to rely on for hosting this time so if anyone is good with websites and stuff like that and could spare some time that would be great, preferably a person who doesnt want to enter the contest but its not required.
why dont you just have it in a poll here, with links to each sig, all hosted by whoever (some1 not in the competition preferably), and then after about a week the winner can be announced along with the votes which every1 else got. that way you cant vote more than once and its only open to GW members.
last time it was 2 weeks to make the sigs, and 1 week for voting. i take it its only 1 round? or are we having semis, finals etc.
oh and also, whats the theme. imo it should be a set naruto character, that way its completely fair. another good thing would be to do what LCD did in the first round of the very first sig contest, where he supplied the pics that could be used in the sig. that made it interesting [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
finally, will the sig have to conform to forum sig rules? it does kinda restrict creativity
yea that would be a way to go at it with the forum voting but we still need someone who can host them.... and a set naruto character would be good, its more fun with semis and finals to. and for the size we should ask the ones that joins the comp.
ive got plenty of space to host them but i want to take part too. i suppose aslong as i rename every1s submitted images to 1.jpg 2.jpg etc then it would be ok though?
400x80 is kinda small. What about 500x100?Originally posted by: r3n

I hadnt done one here on GW before. I assume that theres the size limitation and the material of the sig is specific. Is there any "gotwoot-specific" rules I should know about?Originally posted by: Pervert-Sennin Jiraiya
the contest can basicly work like the previous ones.
nah the only rules we usually have is size and character for the first round we sometimes have specific images we have to use. 500x100 sounds good to me. so second round could be a set character but stock is free of choice, third could possibly be a choice of 3 characters and free stock, final could be anything naruto
ren well i dont see any problem with you hosting and taking part but you gotta keep track on who made which sig and anounce qualifiers etc. etc.
okay so should we agree on 500x100? for size.
get thi3f to do the hosting and voting stuff. the last one he did worked out great. and personally, i think the sig size max should be 500 x 150 pixels. 400 x 80 is a too small to express all the little details and whatnot.
im still in favour of having the voting in the forums itself, it just seems like theres less chance of rigging happening
first round should be set character (voted like last time imo), with supplied stock images by erm... whoever, preferably some1 not in the contest but still has some skill with sigs otherwise the pics might be kinda crap/not varied enough. 2nd round should be chosen char (voted again) with complete freedom of sig content, and 3rd and finals etc like PSJ said.
whats the prize in this? imo it should be something like "Sig Master" under the winners name (in place of genin/chuunin etc.).
oh and for rounds, i take it the top half of ppl go thru to the next round? or should it be that theres 8 that qual from round 1 so we can have quarter finals, semis then a final?
yea and depending on how many that enters we might have to cut the contest down to qualifing, semi and finals. and yea a title like sig master would be cool but i wouldnt want to trade my title as im the only one that actually got it.
Count me in, then.
how about a playoff format, much like GotWoot:Survivor?
we did playoffs last time to decide runner up and winner, which is quite good fun. also sig size shouldnt have a limit, obviously if its stupidly oversize it cant be considered a sig, but 500x100 is too skinny.
I'm in to. I just want to make sure though, after we do decide on the contest, a new topic will be made with all the rules and everything right? Like the deadlines, characters allowed, sig limits, etc.? Its my first time joining the GW contest to, I dont want to break any rules.
This fantastic Sousuke sig was made by the one and only Lucifus! Thanks man!
How about.... must be your own brushes? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
as if [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
lol no wierd rules like that i think we should stick to the old rules, and yes there will be a new topic with rules deadlines etc. etc. once we got it all set up.
Im doing it(a.k.a: Im in), got nothing else better to do, plus this will be a good oppurtunity to mess with things, and look up tuts
btw: dont care if its 500x100 or 400x80

Thats great Thi3f! Since you have the host to place the sigs, why dont you set up the contest details and stuff as well?
@Knives: anything above 400 X 80 would be suitable for a contest, imo. If we have something above, we can add more details or whatever to the sig to make them better than what we can do to a 400 X 80 size.

Speaking of GW:Survivor, when's the next one?
