RL. Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hey guys, I was talking to a few guys via PM about this idea, so I decided to bring it forth to everyone and see if they were interested. I was thinking of making a Sig Battle thread where users would go head to head in making a sig using the same picture/render. I've seen it done on other boards before, and it is a great way to get the creative juices flowing and create some competition amongst us sig makers. If you guys would be interested, I could write up an "offical" rule set that would clearly state how everything would work etc. I wanted to test the waters a bit to see if it was worth putting in the time before I went through the work of finding pictures/renders and creating a thread with an official rule set. Would love to get your guys' thoughts on this and if it would be something you would be interested in participating in. Thanks, RL. PS: If you are interested, what is a better name, Sig Battles or Sig Wars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Yes, I would be interested. Maybe set up a poll as to which name sounds better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naslund.is.king Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Why not Time limit+someone picks the sigs Vintage, is going to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL. Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 The name is probably the thing I would be least worried about I think if enough people are interested, it could be a great little competition alongside SOTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euphoria/ Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I actually really like this, the problem for a newbie like me is that I only use pixlr and it's very hard to use renders. but i definitely compete! i like the name sig wars. one more concern of mine is the lack of action happening in the creative forum, there only seems to be about 7-8 people that consistently post sigs and feedback here and competitions could get stale after awhile.

Zoolander Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I think I'll take a crack at it! definitely Sig Wars for the name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 How about post the rules/guidelines first? That way we have a better understanding about this competition and more people may be interested in joining then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 It kinda sounds like it would tread on SOTW. Maybe make this a theme in that? Edit: It's a cool idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL. Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 SIGNATURE WARS RULES: Thread will be made called Signature Wars #1 - First two artists to sign up will go head to head - Once the two artists are selected, only then will the picture/render be revealed - Artists have a maximum of 72 hours from the time of picture being posted to finish their sig and post in thread - Sig must be within board limits (400x200) - A poll will be created to allow members of the Forum to vote for the best sig - Winner will choose next week's picture/render -- Anything need to be added/improved? The quick/more frequent we have these little "wars" the more fun it would be, in my opinion. Would be interesting to see what people can do with the same picture or render.

TACIC Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I would love to do it but I'm not always at a computer so my time is limited but I'm down if it can fit my schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TACIC Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 It would be multiple times per week, so whenever you have time. It would be a fun way to keep this part of the board active as well, it oscillates a lot in terms of activity around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 should make it a bracket type competition instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJC Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 We actually had this a long time ago and I loved it, there was a website dedicated to it.

RL. Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 maybe both. Sig throwdown for the ad-hoc (first person says "come at me bro" second person says "i Challenge you to a throw down"), and sig wars for the bracketed competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL. Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 I was thinking of leaving it until Monday before making the first official post. I was thinking we go with a head to head competition first. So the first two people to reply to the thread wanting to participate will take part in the 'war.' The picture/render to be used will be posted once the two competitors have been determined. Sound good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
