Your entry no doubt was simple, but the overall concept and depth it evoked was great. (:

[Warchamp7]

I respectfully disagree with Desirable.

It's okay. We can't always like the same things.

How? This week was to present the theme as well.... Technology... The only part of that signature that represents technology is the far right with the play, pause, and adjustment buttons. "voting should be based on appearance, and how the participant portrays the theme of the contest,
(Technology) in his or her entry."



I don't understand how it showed or conveyed technology, or the lady gaga one lol.

[Warchamp7]

My sig was the visual character representation for a modern piece of software

Yet it came last and most certainly was not the worst sig in that collection.

How many people are going to know that off the top of their head? I mean, thats a good idea, but people aren't going to see it and instantly know. They are going to see an Anime character just sitting there. With Lowbolls it looked anime-ish but it looks robotic. The sig itself may have looked nice but if people didn't think it followed theme they had a valid point to not vote for your sig.

"voting should be based on appearance, and how the participant portrays the theme of the contest,
(Technology) in his or her entry."

Theme was (or should have been) only a contributing factor in someone's vote.

Again, I'm not saying I should have gotten first, second or even third but I most certainly should not have gotten last.

The current voting system is flawed.

[Avunaos]

actually, someone is gonna be last.
I mean... if people didnt like your sig (by many reasons, theme, colors, etc...) that is reflected on final votes
maybe you had bad luck, i dont know.
but the fact is that someone is always gonna get last, and that doest mean that his sig was the most uglyest... it means that was the less voted for some reason

i like your sig warchamp :) but i didnt vote for it too

Its flawed because you came in last? The voting system is designed so that people can choose the three they liked the most. Obviously if people don't vote for yours, its either because they didn't like how it looked. or that there were simply better ones. I honestly think are acting a bit childish at this. All voting system are flawed. Democracy in itself is flawed, but so is anything else. There is perfect anything, and just because you feel like you were cheated doesn't justify the system being totally corrupt or bad, its merely you having an opinion everyone else seemed to have disagreed with.


Get over it and take your loss, we all have bad moments.

[Warchamp7]

I don't care that it's my sig. I care that it's better than others and came last.

#7 should have done much better than second last, does that work better for you?

Once again, this is your opinion.


The community casts its vote on what they like, it may be a fine piece of work indeed, but if the community doesn't like it, it won't win. Like I previously stated, I don't see even how it fits into the theme of this week.

Democracy is the voice of the people, not the voice of one. If the people agree that this is how it should have ended up, then we have no reason but to oblige them.

[Medio]

Agree with Kwaurtz, no need to bring in personal feelings into this.

[SausageEx]

Oh wow, why did this had to happen around my sig, i confess i knew that my sig wasnt going to win when i was doing it lol, i remembered the "Technological" theme halfway and didnt have much time to remake it so i just added the bar at the right part of the sig.

There were other entries that really suited the technological theme better, so i never expected to win with that entry and im glad that i didnt get more votes xD.

Congrats to the winner, even if it looks kinda simple it looks good.
