Cruel yet cuddley

i'm lucky i snuck on to the computer while i'm on holidays!

Has everyone submitted a subtext yet?

Yes, they just havn't been put on the first post yet.
And my new one hasn't been edited either... I changed it!

Judges, rate/comment on the subtexts, and choose four people to be eliminated. Judging should be done by Wednesday, March. 2.

(Sorry this is late...I don't know if it's just my computer or what, but I couldn't get on to PPT/PPT Forums on Sat. or Sun.)

Judges Note: Yes, I'm rude for this competition. Deal with it.

"Always watching..."

This makes sense, seeing as their eyes are wide open. Good choice.

Kalathalan
"Where's our juice?"

Honestly, those who don't play Neopets would be like "What does that mean?". Relating it to the game is overused. Many people related this to set to the game. Perhaps a more original subtext? I don't honestly like this one that much.

Amarise
"Give us the feepits (enter) and no one gets hurt"

This was odd. It was too long and not very fitting. The only thing I can think of is Meepits Vs. Feepits. Borderline subtext.

Livin_in_the_shadow
"Cruel yet cuddly"

I don't think Meepits have a reputation of being cruel. I don't know about this one. It's borderline.

.:Requiem:.
"If you can't convince them, confuse them."

Not fitting at all. Their eyes are wide open -- not dazed. They don't seem confused. It doesn't fit.

Watericesage
"We want our juice!"

I knew it. This "juice" thing would be overused. I don't think it really fits the way Kalathalan puts it but they way you put it makes sense. They seem really focused and it matches it. One of the few subtexts which actually make sense here.

Ledi
"Mustn't...look....away... (words fading in and out one at a time, below the 'meep')"

This subtext is weird. I don't really understand it unless you're talking through the Meepits point of view.

Maniac
"Put the juice DOWN!"

As Dawn said, something only Neopet players would understand. It goes slightly with the set, but I am very disappointed that it's a Neopets-user only subtext.

Twinkle
"Utterly Perplexed"

This is a fitting subtext. As Dawn said, younger users would be puzzled but that doesn't take away from this subtext. Good job.

Lionheartwitty
"Something's watching me..."

This is an obvious subtext for this set. This contest is about uniqueness, not state-the-obvious-ness. It's borderline.

DM was on fire!
"We come in peace"

This subtext is humorous. But something about it irks me. I just don't know what. It's above borderline.

Hellyer
"Take us to your leader"

Comical. Makes sense. Good job.

The_dog_god
"Awfully. Spooky."

This subtext is off beat. You have two seperate words which could've joined together to create a decent subtext. "Awfully spooky," would've been much better. I really don't like this subtext because of the above.

I choose to eliminate, Kalathalan, The_dog_god, Watericesage and .:Requiem:..

Livin_in_the_shadow
"Cruel yet cuddly"

I don't think Feepits have a reputation of being cruel. I don't know about this one. It's borderline.


Erm...ammer...just thought I'd point out that the petpet in the sig is not a feepit, it's a meepit. And their s'posed to be...incredibly evil.

Oh, whatever. I quit Neo so what do I know? And they might have a reputation of being evil, but it doesn't really go with the set. It's borderline.

Round comments: I was really disappointed with the subtexts this round, though some were awesomely good, I found many to be completely relating to things only Neopets players would know, which disappoints me.



Twizzler0171- Mwah, I have finally mastered the placing of the numbers in your name. Annnnyway, this is an okay subtext. Not the best I've seen, not the most horrible. It does describe the main image, though if I were you I would have gone for the not-so-obvious choice of subtext. But still, it does work. 7/10

Kathalan- A few points off for the fact that anyone who doesn't play Neopets couldn't understand this subtext. Also, the idea for this subtext is a good one, but it could have been much more humerous. Being good at subtexts is being able to match the mood of the image. This image was funny. This subtext was just somewhat blunt and to the point. 6/10

Amarise- Again, some points off for the fact that no one who doesn't play Neopets would know what a feepit is. However, it matches the mood of the set, humorous, very well, so extra points for that. All in all, it's on the really good side of okay. 7.5/10

Livin_in_the_shadow- I don't really understand where you get the cruel part from. Cuddley is alright, but I don't see how big giant meepits or whatever Neo is calling them now are cruel. It goes along with the mood decently, but this subtext just isn't "Subtext King" material. 5.5/10

Requiem- This is a borderline subtext. It's decently humorous, I suppose. However, I don't really think it goes with the image as well as it should, so... just meh. 6/10

Watericesage- My main comments for this are that if you don't play Neopets, you won't understand it. So that itself docks you three points from ten. One more point off due to it not being as humorous as it could be, and not going as well as it could with the mood of the set. 6/10

Ledi- Mm, probably one of the best this round, though I must say I was pretty disappointed with lots of the subtexts this round. It fits the image pretty greatly, and has a bit of humor and wit to it as well. All I can say to this subtext is... very nice, to say in the least. 8.5/10

Maniac- Goes perfectly with the mood of the set, but again I must deduct points from relating only to Neopets. If you want your subtext to be a good one, it has to be clear to everybody who will see it, not just Neopet players. However, still good points for good length and humor. 7.8/10

Twinkle- Hm. I'm kind of torn on this one. Good job on making it relate on more to the hamster thingies in general, and not just how Neopets displays them. The only problem I really have with this one is that I bet a lot of PPT's younger members are going to take one look at it, and just say "huh?". Hehe, but that's not entirely your fault. 7/10

Lionheartwitty- This is like Twizzler0171's (yay for correct numbering!) subtext in the fact that this is an obvious choice for subtext. It's somewhat humorous, though I really think it'd be better if it were more funny. Meh, this is another that I'm torn on, but I think I'll give it... 6.5/10

DM Was On Fire!- Haha. Dear, you've redeemed yourself. I'm glad you weren't voted out last time, this is an excellent subtext. Very humorous, and it's very "out of the box". This is the first time I've done this, and I don't know if I'll do it again, but... 10/10.

Hellyer- Like DM's, this is very funny and works very well with the mood of the set. Again, out of the box. I don't see any really major problems with this one, good job. 9/10

The Dog God- Meh, I'll work on where the capitilations and underscores go later. I've mastered Twizzler0171's (!) name already today, remind me to master yours in the next round. This subtext is decent. It is humorous, the length is nice. The only thing I really have a problem with is that I've seen more original subtexts in my day. 7.5/10
