:S I chose mine after.

The reason I changed my original was because I wasn't sure if I'd get a good rating, because you'd have to know Twizzy to understand it.

Aren’t candy canes candy? I don’t see how they can be sweet as candy, if they are candy. I don’t really understand, sorry.


Haha, took me awhile to understant what you meant, but...

I was referring to myself when I said 'Sweet as'. ;)

You're voting out Twizz... with a subtext she picked... for a signature made for her...

Irony, anyone? ^_^

Thu May 05, 2005 6:50 pm

KK...sorry.

Dawn - huh? I don't get it. The subtext. I get the irony. :lol:

Twiz - Now that I see you were talking about yourself, 'tis a great subtext.

Kuri - Way too expected. It's alright, but...meh...

Qanda - Well done! You incorporated her love of candy and the royal ball!

Req - I think it would've sounded better as simple and sweet rather than the other way around.

Loser - I don't think I get it.

WIS - Another well done one. It goes with the candy cane theme.

Sirclucky - Are you trying to say that Twiz-Chan is a old fart?! :P It's a great subtext except for the whole Twiz being a old fart thing.

Mark - Was it Req or Mark? :P It's like Req's, almost exactly, but not enough to count.

Anubis - I don't like it at all. It makes no sense.

Hellyer - One of the "meh" ones. You would've expected it.

Anubis and Dawn


WHOO. ON A RANDOM SIDE GLOAT, I HAVE A PAID SUSCRIBER TRIAL FOR DEVIANTART UNTIL THE 12th!

Thu May 05, 2005 10:37 pm

I'm not going to set a particular date for the deadline but anyway... I won't have access to a computer this whole Saturday so I'll either post a new round tomorrow or Sunday depending on if everyone's posted their judgings or not.

Note: Although it is good to incorporate the "owner" of the sig into the subtext, I'd say it's better not to for this competition. I think most of the game is based on how well you can come up with a subtext based on the signature itself, not coming up with a subtext specifically relating to the name on the sig.

Dawn2 -- Sweet in more ways than one.

Meh..? I kind of see where you're going, but I don't really get it.

Twizzler0171 -- Sweet as Candy

It's good, once you understand what you're getting at, but not everyone may not get what (or rather who) you're referring to.

Kurisutaru -- A Tasty Treat

Eh... it's alright, and can definitely go on the sig, but it just is too... plain and normal, I guess.

Qanda -- Queen of Candy

I love it! It incorporates both the user of the sig and the sig itself in a short, precise subtext.

.:Requiem:. -- Sweet and Simple

I see where you get the "sweet" from, but I don't really see how the "simple" part fits into the sig very much.

Loser1921 -- Twisted Treats

It's great, short and sweet, yet fits in with the sig. Good job!

Watericesage -- A Seasonal Delight

Another excellent one, it fits in with the candy canes and basically the whole red/green color scheme.

Sirclucky -- Even a queen *fade* Needs her cane

It's humorous, and fits in well, but there's just something that doesn't seem right about it to me... (Too bad I can't pick out what it is :P)

o_0 -- Simply Sweet

Eh. It's very close to Requiem's, and I don't really like it.

Anubis -- I prefer candy apples.

Like I said at the top, I don't think it goes with the sig very well, and wouldn't be too understandable to anyone who didn't know Twizz well.

Hellyer -- Sweet Candy Treat

Like Kuri's, it's alright, but kind of plain.

Eliminate -- Anubis and .:Requiem:.

Okay.

Sweet as in candy cane.
Sweet as in nice, kind, etc.

Two ways. Which is more than one.

Hence "sweet in more ways than one".

Am I getting somewhere?

Thu May 05, 2005 11:14 pm

Dawn2// Sweet in more ways than one
It's an okay subtext; now that you've explained it. But it may be a bit long... 6.5/10

Twizzler0171// Sweet as Candy
It's alright; but some people may not really understand it. 7/10

Kurisutaru// A Tasty Treat
This is a 'meh' subtext. It's a bit bland; but it fits. 8/10

Qanda// Queen of Candy
This is a pretty good one. You've incorporated something about the user and the sig itself. 9/10

.:Requiem:.// Sweet and simple
This is okay; but a bit bland. 8/10

Loser1921// Twisted Treats
I can see where you're coming from; this is pretty good. 9/10

Watericesage// A Seasonal Delight
Another 'meh' one. It's pretty good though, since candy canes are usually sold and eaten around winter. 8.5/10

Sirclucky// Even a queen *fade* Needs her cane
It's humourous and, like Qanda's, uses both aspects of the sig. Well done. 10/10


o_0// Simply Sweet
It's too similar to Requiem's subtext for my taste. 7/10

Anubis// I prefer candy apples.
I sort of see where you're going, but the subtext doesn't show it that well... 6.5/10

Hellyer// Sweet Candy Treat
It works; but is rather bland. 7.5/10

Eliminate: Anubis & Dawn

Sorry this is late! :oops:

Dawn2, "Sweet in more ways than one"
Well I really like this one! 'Tis one of my favourites - well done!

Twizzler0171, "Sweet as Candy"
Very nice, I like it - its a bit ordinary, but goes well with the signature.

Kurisutaru, "A Tasty Treat"
It's good, fits on with the sig, but it makes it sound like Twizzler is nice to eat! o_0 I know you meant the candy canes, but it could sound a little odd.

Qanda, "Queen of Candy"
I like this one a lot. The right length, fits in, says a little about Twizz as well, but without taking over - and it would make sense with anyone. Yes, very good! ^.^

.:Requiem:., "Sweet and Simple"
Borderline. It's not great, but it would do on the sig. It doesn't stnad out enough! Try and get something extra in your subtexts instead of just 'meh' ones.

Loser1921, "Twisted Treats"
I like the double 'T' - it sounds great, but I can't help thinking its a bit short. Otherwise though its really good! Well done!

Watericesage, "A Seasonal Delight"
Nice but, though candy canes can be associated with Christmas - they're not JUST eaten then. It wasn't really meant to be a Christmas sig, but I can understand how you made the connection.

Sirclucky, "Even a queen *fade* Needs her cane"
It's ok. As AutumnElf said - its really whether you get your entry to fit with the signature than to fit with the member. Its good when you manage to do it still fitting it in with the sig in general - so anyone who didn't understand the users connection, would still get it to make sense. Referring to Twizz as a queen is alright, but doesn't really go with the sig. I don't like it much.

o_0, "Simply Sweet"
It's... ok. It just doesn't stand out from the crowd. Its quite a plain, ordinary subtext. I don't really like it, sorry.

Anubis, "I prefer candy apples."
This entry doesn't fit in with the sig hardly at all! It should be centered on the image - not Twizz's fixation with apples! :P
Plus (I know Twizzler didn't actually pick the image) why would someone have a set with candy canes on it when it says they prefer candy apples??!!??!

Hellyer, "Sweet Candy Treat"
=/ Hmm, this is a bit like Kurisutaru's entry - calling Twizz a 'treat' - and nice to eat!! I don't particularily like it, or not like it - it's just a bit plain and borderline.

Ok, this was reeeally hard to choose who to eliminate!!

Eliminate: Anubis and o_0.

Fri May 06, 2005 6:45 pm

Ah, whatever. I'm going to be moody with everyone from now on. I really liked that subtext, and if you don't get it, it isn't my problem. Judge how you want. :roll:

Fri May 06, 2005 7:17 pm

Heh, Maniac now that you pointed that out... :lol: I see what you mean. I never looked at the sig that way... :P I'll be sure to keep this in mind next time.

Fri May 06, 2005 7:29 pm

*dances about gleefully* A new record!

Fri May 06, 2005 10:14 pm

Anubis, Dawn2, and VeraX cannot participate this round.

Round 4

((Set by Stampsyne, submitted by Qanda))

Subtexts must be in by Monday, May 9. Judging must be done by Wednesday, May 11.

Fri May 06, 2005 10:31 pm

Grats to .:Requiem:. for making a new record. =P

Mysteriously Enticing

This IS stonehedge right?

Fri May 06, 2005 10:32 pm

An Unsolved Majesty

Ew. I'm feeling uncreative because in the signature, Stonehedge is in a forest, and it's not supposed to be. ;_;

Fri May 06, 2005 11:07 pm

At last I've decided!!
