PPT Subtext King/Queen 2

Sun Feb 13, 2005 11:44 pm

<b>Introduction</b>

Some of you may remember a contest Dawn2 held long ago, The Subtext King/Queen. Due to Dawn's tight schedule, the game never ended, but I've always thought it was a brilliant idea. So, with Dawn's permission, I decided to hold another subtext contest. With the first one over, another contest has come along, PPTSKQ2!

<b>Information</b>

Every round, I will present you with a signature with no subtext – it will then be your job to think of a creative and unique subtext that goes with the signature. (You do not have to edit my signature with your subtext on it) Then, the judges will give comments on each subtext, and choose who will not be able to participate next round. The last contestant remaining will be crowned with the title of PPT Subtext King/Queen. One round lasts 5 days. Contestants receive 3 days to enter their subtexts, then judges get 2 days to judge.

<b>Rules</b>

1. Your subtext must be 100% your own – stealing someone else’s will result in you being disqualified.

2. Every post in this thread must be contest – related.

3. Only contestants and judges may post.

4. If you miss a round, you are automatically disqualified unless you contact me ahead of time with a reason.

5. I have the right to remove any judge or contestant, if I feel it’s needed.

<b>FAQ</b>

Q: Can I have one of my subtext-less signatures in the contest?
A: Yes. Just PM me your signature. If you want to use one of the subtexts suggested for your signature, though, you’ll have to PM the person who suggested it asking their permission.

Q: How many contestants are allowed, and how do I sign up?
A: I will not put a limit to the number of contestants. However you will have to sign up before February 20 to be a contestant. To sign up, DO NOT post in this thread, instead PM me.

Q: How many judges are allowed and how do I sign up?
A: I will need four judges not including me. To sign up, PM me and tell me why you want to be a judge. If you just say, “Can I be a judge?” I will ignore you. If you want to be a judge, you will also have to sign up before February 20. You CAN NOT be a judge and a contestant.

Q: Anything I should include in my PM to sign up?
A: If you're still reading, include "Rules are the best!" somewhere in your PM.

Q: Can I donate any money towards the prizes?
A: Yes, that would definitely be appreciated! Just bid on one of my trades.

<b>Prizes</b>

The winner of this contest will receive the title of “PPT Subtext King/Queen” as well as 10k neopoints. The two runner-ups will each receive 5k.

If you provide a signature for the contest, you will receive 1k neopoints.

It'll most likely start that day, or possibly earlier.

will it be a problem that i am gone from the 22nd-28th?

I don't think so. If I post Round 1 up on Sunday, I'm sure you can get a subtext in before Tuesday. Round 1 will most likely end on Friday, which will end after the 28th. So, most likely no.
