For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

Ditto for me Dawnie! You can just call me DM. =D

Xjox and Robert2100 have until tomorrow to get their ratings up.

Twizzler0171 Good job on this one! It matches very well with the set, especially since the meepits' eyes are all...wide open and...staring, I guess :P

Kalathalan I'm going to say this only once. Many people are definitely not going to know this relates to Meepit Juice Break (Or whatever it is xP), even people who do go on Neopets. Just because a set is a neopets set, does not mean the subtext has to relate to something on neopets.

Amarise Again, like Kalathalan's, this subtext may not be understood by a ton of people, as even people on Neopets may not know about the whole Meepits VS Feepits thing. Plus, to add on, I don't think this subtext matches the signature very well.

Livin_in_the_shadow I don't get this one. I've never heard of meepits being cruel, so...yeah.

.:Requiem:. It's funny alone, but put it on the signature and it'll make no sense.

Watericesage Read Kalathalan's rating for more details on why I don't think this is a good subtext. And just to add on, the meepits don't look very demanding, more questioning so your subtext wouldn't fit too well.

Ledi Meh. It's not shabby, but it'd take a while to really understand.

Maniac Again, read Kalathalan's rating. Plus, this subtext doesn't make much sense to me, anyway.

Twinkle It fits the signature very well, good job!

Lionhearttwitty It's alright, but doesn't make too much sense when you first look at it. I'm so-so about this one.

DM was on fire! Hehe, It definitely fits the mood of the signature as well as the signature itself. Good job!

Hellyer It could be better, but still funny and well-suited. Good job!

The_dog_god It's pretty good, but I don't like how you put the period there. It just doesn't sound/look right too me. Not bad though!

I'm so sorry I rushed most of these ratings!

Judges Notes: Sorry I didn’t do the last round, and was pretty late here. I was away in Las Vegas! I think I posted a message here…Anywho, this round was disappointing. There were some nice subtexts, but some were just very ‘blah’. Like I have said before, to be crowned King Or Queen, you have to be original and out of the box, there wasn’t much of that this round.

Ratings:
Twizzler0171
---Always watching...
I like it. The Meepits’ eyes are wide open, like they are watching so this subtext fits in perfect!

Kalathalan---Where's our juice?
Hmm, I’m not sure about this one. I can see where you are coming from, but this set doesn’t have the same feel as Meepit Juice Break. This set feels more dark, but Meepit Juice break is happy and friendly.

Amarise---Give us the feepits (enter) and no one gets hurt
Hmm, I’m on the fence about this one. I just don’t see where you are coming from. I have never heard of the Meepits wanting the Feepits (besides Meepit VS. Feepit). I’m not sure about this one.

Livin_in_the_shadow
---Cruel yet cuddly
Meepits have never been labeled as cruel, sneaky yes, but not cruel. I’m not so sure about this subtext.

.:Requiem:.---If you can't convince them, confuse them.
Doesn’t fit in my opinion. They don’t look confused at all. Sorry.

Watericesage---We want our juice!
Hmm, this one fits a little better than Kalathalan’s, but not by much. Again, I’m not sure with this one.

Ledi---Mustn't...look....away... (words fading in and out one at a time, below the 'meep')
Hmm, it is nice. Probably one of this rounds best. Good job!

Maniac---Put the juice DOWN!
This is the best ‘juice’ subtext, and it fits the best with the signature. The Meepits do look like they are shocked to see some one holding their juice.

Twinkle---Utterly Perplexed
Hmm, as I said before, I don’t think the Meepits look confused of perplexed. It is an awesome subtext, but I just don’t think it fits that well with the set.

Lionheartwitty
---Something's watching me...
Don’t really like it. I see where you are coming from, but in my opinion a subtext should be from the signatures point of view, or a description of the set. Not a subtext from your point of view. That is just my opinion.

DM was on fire!
---We come in peace
Excellent! That was my first thought when I saw it, and I’m glad someone used it. It works well with the set, and is funny! Good job!

Hellyer---Take us to your leader
Very similar to DM’s, but still good! Good job!

The_dog_god---Awfully. Spooky.
Not good, not bad though. Closer to good. I just don’t like how you put the ‘.’ between the words. I know what you are trying to convey, but I think it would be better as ‘Awfully Spooky’.

Livin_in_the_shadow, .:Requiem:., Lionheartwitty and Twinkle.

Ouch...this is not looking good.

C'mon...will I ever make it past the second round?

Thu Mar 03, 2005 3:39 pm

Ooo, Jo must have forgot to mention that she's on holiday until the end of the week. I think she's back this weekend although I'm not sure.

Fri Mar 04, 2005 4:27 am

I resign. There's just no way I'll survive this round.

Fri Mar 04, 2005 6:10 am

I'm surprised the judges haven't just booted me for that abomination of a Subtext. I couldn't decide on it so I rolled a dice. 1 or 6 would be Awfully...spooky... I rolled a 6 :P

I decided to change the ... to . because at first I thought it looked better. Now I'm not so sure...:P

Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:57 pm

I did tell you AutumnElf that I would be away in my application for being a judge. I have just got back though and you havent announced the results yet so I will put my reviews up in a little while if you want. Sorry I meant to remind you of my holiday but it was a little hectic before I went. I need to eat something first before I eat the cat, but I will put them up as quick as i can. :)

EDIT: and here they are, slightly rushed but forgive me I'm totally exhausted! :P

Twizzler0171 I like this, they do look like they are scarily staring at me.. I'm afraid of them!

Kalathalan Fits in with the whole meepits juice break thing but not really with this image. You have to go with what is on the actual signature you are given, not with anything else. Always assume the viewer knows nothing about neopets.

Amarise Again, you would have to be a player of neopets to understand this subtext. Although I do actually like this subtext!:P

Livin_in_the_shadow Noooo they aren't cruel! they are cheeky little things but not cruel! Bad LiTS!:P

.:Requiem:. They don't really look very confused to me, it doesn't really fit in with the image.

Watericesage And again, you would have to be a player of neopets to understand this.

Ledi I like this one, its probably one of my favourites. It fits in well with the image.

Maniac Although you would need to be a neopets player to fully get this, it would still work for a non neopets player. You definately could interpret this as them being annoyed with someone for taking something of theirs.

Twinkle It has a nice ring to it, but it just doesn't really fit with the image, possibly 'Utterly perplexing' would have fitted better for me.

Lionheartwitty I like this one too, it fits the image and is a nice length too.

DM was on fire! *giggles* I like this, it reminds me of hundreds of silly movies that I have seen!

Hellyer *double giggles* Points up to DM's, combine the two and you have the cheesiest line from a million sci - fi films! I do like this one though, it fits well with the image.

The_dog_god I don't like having the two words seperated like that. I'm not exactly sure why but I just don't like this subtext that much. It doesn't work for me with the image.

For the last two rounds I have had 'bad days' I guess. Thx for cheering me up though

Sat Mar 05, 2005 6:40 pm

I'm so sorry this is late! I've been busy, and my computer's been acting up lately.

Livin_in_the_shadows, Kalathalan and .:Requiem:. cannot participate this round. Lionheartwitty has withdrawn from the game.

Round 3

(Set by Amarise)

Subtexts must be in by Tuesday, Mar. 8. Judging must be done by Thursday, Mar. 10.

Sat Mar 05, 2005 6:42 pm

What are those flowers??

Sat Mar 05, 2005 6:44 pm

It's no prob, Autumn, I figured your comp was on the fritz or something. :)


Too bad you told everyone who made that set, though. I'm not sure I want my amature-ness known to the world. :P kidding, kidding


I'll have some kind of subtext up later, when I've had lots of time to think about it. :P (You'd think with it being my sig I'd actually have thought of something by now :oops: )

*Edit* Believe it or not, those are actually Water Lillies.

You *should* have this in your "My Pictures/Sample Pictures" folder (I think it's only if you use Windows XP). The name of the file is "Water lillies" so I guess that's what they are.
