99: Hate to butt in like this again, but Odd Cat is not right--kaboi is right, because he's the judge, and the judge decides what is acceptable.

Great, now I've done so much butting in this month that I'm going to have to go a make a sig to redeem myself...

[Edit: To avoid another non-sig post, this edit is in reply to the post below...

Odd Cat: No offense meant, of course... It just seemed that some people were having difficulty understanding the idea of the judge having the last word...]

OK. kaboi is the judge on this image contest.

'Judge' doesn't mean having the right to break down all the rules.
It means upholder of the rules.

Let's wait for the next SIG contest.
Well, have fun

OK, if you've got a problem with what I said, you can e-mail me. I would have e-mailed you, but your address is not in your profile.

You really think that kaboi deciding that the animal you choose doesn't have to be directly related to your nick is "breaking down the rules"? Aren't we overreacting here just a bit? I believe it is well within the bounds of what a judge should be able to do, and nothing to get our panties in a twist over.

Now I think it is time for both you and I to stop blabbering and get to work, don't you?

(No need to post "Amen"s or "Right on"s, people--we can hear you from here.)

[Edit: And here's my entry... it's an idea I had from the beginning, but I'm not sure how well it turned out.]



[Edit2: And for those who may not have understood it the first time, the "Amen"s and "Right on"s would be in response to my call for an end to the blabbering... and on that note, I think I've said more than enough.]

Size/Width requirments are fairly subjective, but try and keep the file size under 50k.

Pretentious are we, Suho1004?
For the record, the hysterical and blabbering overreaction stays on your part.
Email me? What's that about?

I just made a point about what I belive - that this is a SIG thread! - and now you're expecting an 'amen' or a 'Right on!' for defending that it ISN'T?

To clear it up for you: the signature have had its evolution from the time when the illiterate signed with an 'X'. Not including your name is placing yourself in the X-level. And looking att your 'sig' I have no problem detecting where you find yourself.

Sorry kaboi but yo wrote, quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh and by the way usual rules apply...no recycles and like Master Suho so wisely put it...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...and in these rules you can read, quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The judge for the month posts his/her rules, and makes his/her judgement on the sig comp winner. Respect this. They have determined their judgement criteria, and that's the end of the story.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I know that! - Do what ever you like!


I'm just want to emphasize the 'sig comp winner'-part. Sig. Nothing else.
That's the challenge.
To make your name go with anything the Judge suggest.
At least, that is what I have in mind.
That's maybe why all the best sig-masters does just that.
They all put their names on their sigs.
By coincidence?
Wow, I never saw that coming!

The solution may be having two different competitions:

***JUNE 2003 SIG CONTEST ***
***JUNE 2003 SIG with no names CONTEST ***

Then where whould you put your rules?


Still... have fun making YOUR sigs!

Ok, you done?

Can we get over your pointless ego trip now, bud?

I am at a loss as to what your point is exactly, but that aside, it's a moot one. This is a sig contest. The topic is wildlife. If Kaboi feels like imposing rules, he may. If he doesn't feel like it, he may not. A sig is a subjective thing, and if you want your name on it, or if you want it to reflect your name, that's up to you.

End of story.

'Tis, the third generation chameleon. May not look like he has changed much but I followed Odd Cat's advice and did some "jiggery pokery" with the tongue and some other stuff and got the lil'ol' critter down to a more reasonable size.
Suho, man,, those eyes follow me round the room, I can only hope 'tis not a predator lest some (1) gonna get bitten "ahop ahop"? ;¬
I did a quick search on this page and the only person I can find who has used the word *Pretentious* has not bothered to submit a sig for consideration.

Taobaybee, your chameleon has evolved quite nicely. I really like the way its skin looks now. I love his little binky eyes. However, I'm seeing some kind of white blip at the bottom of the image when the tongue retracts back to the mouth. Is anyone else getting that?

Thank you Odd Cat. Your suggestion (earlier) helped me get the size down. I am stuck with a 56K Dialup myself so I know what its like to have to wait for ages for a page to load its images. I usually have time to put the kettle on and make a "cuppa" tea, before the page has loaded

Especially for you DL-44
Thanks for pointing that out, I don't really know how I missed it.
I even managed to get the file size down a bit more, I hope I haven't lost too much definition in the process. I don't think I will be doing much more tho' for the next few days or so. Moon Shadow and myself have decided to have a little game of PS Pong, the first time for both of us! So I'll need to focus all my attention on that. I'm really looking forward to it, with just a little trepidation!

Hello all,

Evidently I upset some of the "boys" with last month's contributions. I felt that all the "quality Vs. quantity" debate was aimed directly at me... So, here is my ONE submission for this month. Tried my best but file size seems to still be a problem with me. Sorry if I upset some again...

Peace all,

Jung please don't let Michael's comments prevent you from submitting more entries. Many of us enjoy your work very much. It's a pleasure to see an artist on a roll.

Here's a slight re-working of my entry. I added more color to the wings and dropped the anttenae. I was afraid they came out looking like rabbit ears in my first entry

Yo, Jung I missed you Dood! Did you get my email?
I'm going to try to get another one in before the end. Nice work Jung and Moth. I know what you mean about file size, my first effort here was huge as well
I, for one, did not think the "comments" were directed towards you Jung, I can only hope it was nothing I said.
See "Red Mists" Did you see the sig I did for you?
