Crazy Man Dan Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 This weeks theme, as chosen by last weeks winner -Expiration-, is Chinese New Year. The Winners: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Guess what!? I finally got around to tallying and posting the results! The results: 1st: Crimson (5 votes) 2nd: -Expiration- (4 votes) 3rd: Tendercrisp (2 votes) Both voting and participation were down for this one, with only 12 votes coming in, but we did get a clear top-3. I want to apologize to everyone for taking so long to get around to this. Life has a way of cropping up, and free time just disappears. To remedy this, I've asked fellow mod and previous SOTW helper david.atwell to help out more. A new account has been created named SOTW Guy, to which David and I will share access. All votes henceforth will be PM'd to SOTW Guy, so that whichever or us has the most free time can get to them to tally the votes when the time comes. Dave and I seem to have similar mannerisms, so the transition should be relatively smooth. Thanks to all for participating! Head over to the Discussion thread to chat about the next theme. We'll take as much time as we need to get back into the swing of things. ------------------------------------------------------------------ This week's entries: These entries are listed in alphabetical order. To vote for an entry, send a Private Message to Crazy Man Dan with the name of the artist you want to win. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Crimson ------------------------------------------------------------------ -Expiration- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Fire_Ants ------------------------------------------------------------------ GeminiS ------------------------------------------------------------------ mistress-gaia ------------------------------------------------------------------ salu ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tendercrisp ------------------------------------------------------------------ Send a ballot to CMD Include the name of the user for whom you wish to vote. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Oh, it's the year of the Monkey! No no no wait, it's not, but Fred the Monkey is still pretty cool. :wink: It's the year of the rat! Help us ring in the Chinese New Year (February 7th)! According to Wikipedia: Being the first sign of the Chinese zodiacs, rats are leaders, pioneers and conquerors. They are charming, passionate, charismatic, practical and hardworking. Rat people are endowed with great leadership skills and are the most highly organized, meticulous, and systematic of the twelve signs. And to think, many people consider the rat naught but disgusting vermin. Remy* would be saddened. The deadline for this competition is 23:59 (11:59pm) (PST) on Sunday, February 10th. To see the current time in PST to compare it with your local time, click here (WorldTimeServer.com). Check the SOTW Rules! If your entry breaks any of the rules it will be disqualified. ------------------------------------------------------------------ [*:167fqexw] Max sig dimensions follow the board's max sig dimensions, 500x150.

If you wish to talk about one of the entries you can do so here. If a comment or other non-entry post is mistakenly made in this thread, it will be moved without penalty to the discussion thread. Just don't be surprised when it magically jumps over there. :wink: Good luck all, and thanks for playing! *Watch Ratatouille.

Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
