    Great sigs everyone! The creative work is excellant and it will be very difficult to vote.

    Great work, but I must say, and no offense to whom ever it belongs to, but I'm a little shocked at the current vote leader. Not what I expected when the results came up.

    :cheers: to whomever it is, and great job to all.

    With all due respect, I am not sure how appropriate it is to be commenting so specifically on sigs while voting is still open.

    If the current leading sig was mine I'd certainly be a bit peeved :2cent:

    And with all due respect, this is the place to comment on the on going competition. The only way you will know who is leading is if you already voted.
    Besides I didn't say anything derogatory about the Sig, just that I was surprised buy the current totals.

    Fine, I took my comment down.

    I certainly wasn't intending on hurting anyone's chances, I should remind people though that this is just a friendly competition.

    I can understand your point though.

    while i respect your moderating opinion, influencing peoples votes, imo, it is a bad thing. subconscious or not..

    Again, I can not influence the vote, because you do not know who is leading until after you vote.

    My moderating opinion has no bearing on this topic.

    I don't think being a mod influences votes. p gets that :D

    Plus we can discuss what we want in this thread lads, lets keep it friendly in here and remember that SOTW is for forwarding signature art and not declaring winners for winnings sake.


    This week has been way tougher to vote than i thought.

    1. amazing work, near perfection
    2. excellent colourisation
    4, simply for keira and i fucking love the font
    6. because its simple but clever as shit
    7. because i can't take my eyes of it
    10 because it's a fucking work of art
    12 because it's also a work of art

    But to be honest i loved them all. I eventually voted and can't wait to see (not the winner) but next weeks work. The quality of work is rising every single week.

    Shows it was a good idea lads.

    This week was pretty easy for me. The second I saw the sig I liked I voted for it.

    Wow, every single sig has at least 1 vote.

    That just goes to show the level of quality in the entries.

    Hats off to everyone who contributed! :hi:

    Some really great work this week.

    That is not true, the results can be viewed without voting.;)

    Because of some trick or manipulation? Because I was not able to view the results until after I voted.

    No tricks for me either. "View Poll Results" shows up for me without voting first.

    The same with me, I could see it too. Though I do not like to look before I have voted anyway. Just a way to make sure that I base my vote on what I like not what others are leaning towards....

    that's what it's all about, not looking.
    some people will though which is why comments aren't really encouraged until after.

    I think there is an awful lot of worrying about the votes starting to pcik up in this competition nowadays. Is anyone really desperate to win so much that it's that important to them?

    Really, lets forget all this vote shaping kerfuffle and just enjoy everyones work eh!?

    I don't care who wins at all. It's about the work and seeing what people come up with. I couldn't tell you who won last week but i could tell you which sig won.

    Am I being a bit too naive in thinking we should just have faith in the voters and entrants? Common decency and a friendly demeanour are characteristics abundant in the creative section, and phun in general, so I'd like to think that no one would take this "friendly" competition so seriously as to essentially cheat. I've seen the poll results before voting recently. It happened when I went to the page and wasn't logged in yet, but it didn't influence my vote, because I don't give a damn who wins and simply vote for what I consider to be the best sig. My main reason for entering is because I enjoy the challenge of making a sig from a pre-set theme.

    I also think that we're making too big a deal of the voting. It's still just a friendly competition.

    I can also see the votes before I vote (probably because it's my thread). But that doesn't mean I think differently about which one I like best. I also know to who the sigs belong, that doesn't affect my opinion either. I just vote for the best sig, nothing more, nothing less.

    And I like to think that all voters think this way. If they don't... big deal, there's over 50 votes. we'll always get an honest result.
