Hello and welcome to the second People's Signature of the Week competition. Last week Ghux moved us with his simple yet sentimental political message. This week, it has been decided that the theme shall be "[b]CN Historical Event[/b]". The rules for this competition are as follows: [list=1][*]The signature much focus on the theme of the week. [*]The signature must conform to CN Signature rules. (e.g. Maximum size is 450px by 150px) [*]Entrants must comply with any regulations mandated by the lovely and hard-working CN Forum Staff. [*]Entries must not be plagiarized in any fashion. Plagiarism is defined as the copying, without permission, of a finished piece of artwork. [*]Upon the request of any PSotW staff member, the entrant will provide links to source images used in making the entry.[/list] We, therefore, invite all artists to submit their pieces by 1159 CST Friday September 10th. (This deadline may be extended at the discretion of the PSotW Staff.)

[quote name='dy Cazaril' timestamp='1283789781' post='2443885'] Goodness, I wonder who it might be? [/quote] Your avatar and this statement are perfect together.

The winner of the first ever People's Signature of the Week shall be declared at update tonight!

I have no opinion in regards to this debate.

[quote name='Davian Thule' timestamp='1283745146' post='2443333'] [color="#FF8C00"]So you responded that a conversation you deemed useless for what reason? Oh yeah..[/color] [/quote] You're terrible at reading too...

[quote name='Davian Thule' timestamp='1283741013' post='2443270'] [color="#FF8C00"]The winner is quite obviously Sal. SGC will probably start on the next SOTW today or tomorrow and Sal has been PM'd his ribbon as per the usual method.[/color] [/quote] So you mean that conversation you had above was totally pointless? Ok.

[quote name='Davian Thule' timestamp='1283729895' post='2443098'] [color="#FF8C00"]The exact same one everyone else has been getting for the past 13 SOTWs.[/color] [/quote] Please, dominus, enlighten me and post a link to where the ribbon was awarded for SotW #13 [quote name='Davian Thule' timestamp='1283734334' post='2443174'] [color="#FF8C00"]Sorry, not getting into that. See SoTW 14 for details.[/color] [/quote] Aww, someone is a little butthurt. To recap: The "CN-ART" team arbitrarily decided that the winning signature wasn't good enough for them and so they awarded Chey with the most original piece of work they've made in their lives.

This thread is not necessary.

[quote name='Locke' timestamp='1283732867' post='2443153'] Please, for the love of admin, make it stop. [/quote] This is a very serious poll and I would appreciate it if you wouldn't distract from its purpose with such posts. If you don't like the poll or don't agree with the idea, please go elsewhere.

[quote name='Cerridwyn' timestamp='1283732950' post='2443158'] Wait, what about the fruit? If we can vote banana on the guy poll, then we at least need a pomegranate on the gal poll, no? [/quote] This is obviously not a Johan approved poll.

Anyone have thoughts on this? Personally, I am disgusted by openly male players and do not want them in my alliance.

[quote name='Sal Paradise' timestamp='1283724014' post='2443025'] I haven't seen it. Is it plagiarized? [/quote] Of course it is.

[quote name='Gopherbashi' timestamp='1283656655' post='2442119'] Whatever, this poll is gay. [/quote] [quote name='Drai' timestamp='1283658912' post='2442160'] Absolutely not, and if they somehow got into our alliance I would most certainly not employ them under military command. [/quote] Ok, both of these made me laugh. Well played gentlemen.

Why, exactly, is this relevant?

[quote name='Drai' timestamp='1283620604' post='2441494'] 1283 is the only worthy cause for celebration. [/quote] 1337 would have been so much better.

[quote name='Locke' timestamp='1283574390' post='2441124'] I don't see [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=91498&view=findpost&p=2436651"]Kzopp's[/url] in there. [/quote] Kzopp refused the request to provide the source image. [quote name='abdur' timestamp='1283576553' post='2441148'] What he said [/quote] A reverse image source of your sig revealed the source image's use on two other separate websites, and therefore could not be verified to be of valid origin. Especially since one site uploaded the image in 2008...

[quote name='memoryproblems' timestamp='1283568584' post='2441032'] Eh, it happens, don't sweat it. I guess I can always just submit it to the next contest [/quote] Improvement Number 1: Accepted entries need to be added to the first post of the thread asap.

[quote name='memoryproblems' timestamp='1283567708' post='2441016'] Why was my signature not listed? [/quote] !@#$, my bad. Oh wow I feel terrible now. Yours is awesome. I don't know how I overlooked it... We'll figure something out. My deepest and sincere apologies.

[quote name='lonewolfe2015' timestamp='1283560043' post='2440883'] Swallowing my pride here, I think Longbowe's blends the best of both worlds in terms of simplicity and artistic ability while maintaining the theme at hand. It is also one of the most 'clean' images while maintaining the signature format (I never believed a SOTW contest should have images outside the forum's signature size limit) The main image he used also was very well cut out or blended into the background. [/quote] Aww lonewolfe, I <3 you too. See, I told you we could be friends.

[quote name='Lao Pan' timestamp='1283559650' post='2440878'] How can you have a SotW contest but not one hot chick signature? [/quote] Unless you are a hot chick or know one that will allow you to take a picture of her and post it on an internet forum, any sources of such photos would more than likely be disqualified as plagiarism.

I've included all submissions that were of known and properly cited/permitted origin. Those who submitted two or more signatures were only entered for their first submission, should the voters wish to vote on subsequent submissions they may do so but will have to find them in the nomination thread. From all of us here on the People's staff, we appreciate your vote and hope you give us constructive feedback as to how we might improve this competition. We are also now taking suggestions for themes for future weeks. Thank you, Longbowe Deputy Executive Director of the PSotWC Edit: Whose bright idea was it to not allow posting pictures in poll choices?

[quote name='Aeternos Astramora' timestamp='1283530032' post='2440459'] Yes, but even a biased poll with 20 options for each should at least include the top 3 unless the pollster really sucks. [/quote] [sarcasm]Dude, you obviously don't know nothing. On the other hand, this poll was made by "someone who actually knows things".[/sarcasm]

[quote name='Kalasin' timestamp='1283516752' post='2440314'] What, you mean their legendary failure to fight in losing wars, ever? [/quote] More like their legendary ability to support their allies...

[quote name='Haflinger' timestamp='1283488404' post='2439920'] TOP in its prime had a mean tech around that level, and about a third as many nations. Doesn't take rocket science to figure out that the alliance getting tripleteamed is losing to the other one [/quote] It doesn't take rocket science simply because this is neither a rocket nor science. Indeed, it would take probability and statistics to determine that...
