Introduction
Wow, we have already been through four of these games. Well why not make it a nice, round number, and do 5? The game is basically the same, with changes only to procedure in judging, ties, and something with the final round.
Information
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 in the 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.
Rules
1. Your subtext must be 100% your own. Stealing someone else's will result in you being disqualified. Quotes have been iffy in other competitions, so this time no quotes or lyrics from any song, movie, famous person ect.
2. Every post in this thread must be contest related.
3. Only contestants and judges may post.
4. Post something to do with penguins when you sign up, so I know you have read these. Any signup that doesn't have anything to do with penguins will not be counted.
5. If you are going to miss a round, contact me before hand and we can work something out. If you do not submit anything for the round, you are disqualified.
6. I have the right to remove any judge or contestant, if I feel it's needed.
Ties
This was a big issue last time around, and I have thought of an idea. When judges put up their nominations for elimination, the must put it in the order of the person they think should be eliminated most, to the person they think should be eliminated least. This information will only matter if there is a tie. I there is a tie, the person whose name is higher on peoples list will be eliminated. I will explain this more, and in a clearer way once the game starts.
Signups
To sign up, please post on the thread that you would like to play. Remember, if you sign up, you will have to participate or else you will be disqualified. If you have won before, it does not mean you cannot sign up again to play, but I suggest giving judging a try as well.
FAQ
Q: Can I submit a signature for the contest?
A: Yes, please! Just PM it to me. You can use it after the round is done as well. If you want to use one of the subtexts suggested for the signature, though, you'll have to PM the person who suggested it asking their permission.
Q: Can I submit a signature for the contest if I am in the contest?
A: Only if you have been eliminated. It wouldn't be fair if you knew what the next round would be ahead of everyone else.
Q: Can I use one of the sets from the contest?
A: If it is ok with the person who made it, sure. If you want to use one of the subtexts, please ask the author.
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 November 26.
Q: How many judges are allowed and how do I sign up?
A: I will need about 4 other judges. If you would like to judge, send me a PM explaining why you would make a good judge. I don't want a three page essay, but more than "CaN i plz be juge i juge gud!!!!1!!"
No more Juges are needed, thank you
Q: Can I donate any money towards the prizes?
A: Only if you really want to.
