k guys just a reminder voting closes tonight at 12:00 server time! make sure to get your vote in before then ;]

you have to fill out the rubric and provide 2-3 sentences with legitimate reason why you're voting for it... and saying it's aesthetically pleasing doesn't count. you'd have to explain why.

for now just one, i think. since if people were allowed to vote for more than one entry, and not everyone did, it could mess it up. so it would either have to be grade all of them, or just 1. if people would rather vote for all of them we can change it but we'll see how this goes.

- Voting Thread - Theme: Ragnarok Online Welcome to the voting thread of the 41st SOTW! When voting in the SOTW, we will be expecting you to fully understand the rules. Don't know the rules? Click Here. Have you seen the sources? If not, Click Here! ______________________________________________________ Rules that the voter must understand: *Voters must have at least a post count of 10 in order to vote. *Contestants are not allowed to vote for themselves, but are now allowed to vote in the SOTW. *Judges' signature grades will be doubled (e.g., if a judge gives 10, it would count as 20). *Non-judge points will count for full credit. *Each voter must fill out at least one rubric for the entry of their choice. *Each entry must have at least 2-3 GOOD sentences in addition to the rubric. *Votes will be counted on Tuesday. Signatures will be based on a point-basis. ______________________________________________________ Voting Rubric: Rate each of the following categories from 1 to 5, with 5 being 'excellent' and 1 being 'ok/decent'... *Creativity - how creative the signature is. *Technical - how challenging the attempted idea. *Execution- how the idea is put together and how successful it is. *Aesthetic- how visually pleasing the signature is, regardless of how complex it may be. Include the total points. Must include 2-3 sentences discussing the over-all reason why you're casting a vote for the signature. Try to think in terms of the categories above, but you're free to discuss other elements as well. (Note: you only have to do this once.) * This system is just a trial, it may be changed for the next voting period. This is hopefully to prevent a 'popularity' contest by making it so it's not about how many votes are received, but by the total points earned in different technical categories. ______________________________________________________ Prizes: First Place: 100 Event Tokens.

the following people should edit their signatures asap: Haruka Spectrum Terroryst Meka Meka -R e i you guys are supposed to include your name on your signature... also, nines, can you include your IGN in your entry? thanks !!

hi, animations are fine :] poringly... the length means how tall the signature can be, i think 300 is plenty. 450 is how wide it can be. if you still think thats too small you can pm me about it! great work so far, keep up the good entries everyone!!

okay i said you can use sprites so of course sprite sheets are fine. you can also use the rms character generator if you can't find sprite sheets, as long as its JUST the character and not any background or the sig generator.

np hope it helps!! i really like the animated sig you have too. ;]

omg those are cuteee.

ok, edit: only the judge hosting cant participate in sotw.
