Official, approved by Forte.
This was taken from Robert and Autumn Elf from PPT with consent.
Introduction:
This was a popular contest in PPT, and those of you who go there will know that it is being hosted on there as well.
It's concept is to see who makes the best subtext. Subtext, as I'm sure most of you know, is the caption in a signature, usually reflecting on the signature.
How to Play:
This is very simple. Every round lasts about five days. The contestants have three days to get their entries in. (Not too hard, just one line of text). The judges have two-three days to finish their ratings. However, it would be preferred if the judges could finish their ratings ASAP, then we can move on to the next round faster.
The subtext has several aspects the judges will consider.
Lenth: How long is it? If it's too long, it'll need a fade. Depending on how much space is left in the signature, you may be only able to fit 2 words, or perhaps an entire sentence. Dont make it too long however.
Fit?: Does it fit the signature? If a signature has a butterfly picture on it, and you come up with the subtext - 'I like chips', that obviously does not reflect the butterfly.
Wording: How is it worded? If it's an elegant signature, you'd need a very elegant subtext, which means it would be best if it didn't rhyme, or say something really silly. Try to make the person reading it laugh, or try to capture the signature. Try not to make jokes or references to something in particular, because not everyone may understand.
Rules:
1. Subtexts must be 100% your own. No quotes from ANYTHING. Songs, books, etc.
2. If you do not submit a subtext for a round, you will be automatically disqualified.
3. If you know you are going to miss a round, PM me, and I will PM you a signature in advance.
4. If the judging time has passed, and the judges still haven't rated. I will post the next round anyways.
5. I reserve the right to kick anyone out of the contest.
If you wish, you may submit a signature to me for the next round. However, you can only do this if you are a judge, or not participating in the game anymore.
