[Falsum]

SOTW 25
Theme: Ninjas!!
NINJAS! This is a silly competition. If they really were ninjas, you wouldn't see them in your sig, would you? Defeats the whole point of being a ninja if everyone can see you. This, however, does not lift you from doing something ninja related in your sig, mind you.

Due to some recent raging, i decided to update the rules, and clarify alot more. "new" things i added this week, will be in the lovely color magenta. "why magenta, Falsum? i see you have been using that lately." Well douchebag, i'll tell you. Magenta is a good color, has a nice hue to it. Also, i use the "sys" skin for the forums, and magenta shows up crystal clear, and also stands out really well. i can barely read blue on this skin. so magenta it is.


size: no bigger than 500 pixels by 200 pixels, minimum of 300 pixels by 100 pixels.
NOTE: this eliminates "vertical" sigs from the contest. I also lengthed the height.
text: put your name on it. failure to comply is a DQ. additional text is optional
multiple attempts: you can change your entry by editing your post. the entry submitted on Friday at midnight(technically saturday) MY time, Central time, will be the entry.

premade: no premades. premade == DQ For clarification, this does NOT include sotcks. Premades simply refers to a sig you have created in the past, and are putting forward.

Stocks: due to some retards, this apparently must be clarified. I don't restrict you using stocks. if you want to use them, go all the fucking way you want. HOWEVER, BE CAREFUL with stocks. using stocks in a way that looks like you just copy and pasted something and then added a gradient layer or some other ridiculously minor effects, will be deemed, BY ME, NOT YOU FUCKERS, a rip, and will be subsequently DQ'd.

ripping: this is the fun one. congrats! rips will be DQ'd. this is the GRAPHICS section, so guess what? make use of GRAPHICS, not other peoples work. To clarify "ripping". Ripping on this forum(as defined by me(mother fuckers(take note, ZOMG users))), is when you take a render(s) and/or stock(s), and it looks like you A) Copy and pasted, B) took an image and used like some shitty gradient layer and some really minor other effects, or C) a combination of both. WORD OF THE DAY: LOOKS. if it LOOKS like the aforementioned reasons, i will DQ it.

Just so everyone knows, i'm back in full. lately, i've been half checking, and not DQ'ing because i feared what you people think. This was a wrong move, apparently. And now, i'll be DQ'ing as i see fit, according to the rules. From now on(unless i'm really rushing a week), i swear i'm putting more time into this. Welcome me back, mother fuckers. Falsum is dusting off the DQ hammer. If you fear that you will be DQ'ed, post a video or gif of you making the sig. or upload your PSD. If all's good, all's well.


Post the link to any render or whatever you used to make your sig.

prizes: well, you get to chose the next theme, and you get to feel like a winner for a week or so.
quite frankly, i can't give you a custom name, and i aint making you a winner's badge. If you want to make your own winner's badge, or you want to go pester the admins for a custom name, go for it. I can't promise you anything though.

Entries Will be listed here by me, saying if they passed or not. Cyan == passed, pink == DQ(i will also give a reason)

Entry number 1: Gamer_144 Verdict: PASSED!
Entry number 2: Nirujan Verdict: PASSED!
Entry number 3: Rhowie_747 Verdict: Borderline, but... PASSED!
Entry number 4: Weika Verdict: PASSED!
Entry number 5: Asura Verdict: PASSED!
Entry number 6: uzumaki-kun Verdict: Also borderline, but i'll pass it this time

Disable your signature in this thread when you post an entry.

and keep the god damn discussion out of this thread. Go to SOTW discussion thread if you want to spam or whatever.
Follow the rules. Looking forward to your sigs.(sort of)

Final entries must be in by MIDNIGHT, FRIDAY(technically saturday) MY TIME, CENTRAL.(in case you missed it earlier)
If any ZOMG people come raging to me, you will be promptly ignored, and laughed at. This is our SOTW. You don't like it, shove off back to ZOMG. I don't go there and bitch about how it's different, so don't do it here. I don't mind that you are here(not that much anyways(actually i do, but i can't really turn you down to be fair)), but don't come here and constantly bitch and stir shit with drahcir. you think you are the bee's knees, just go somewhere else.
