DS9 Avatar Contest 54

[BigFoot]

Welcome to DS9 avatar contest 54!


The winners of last week's contest are:

EMHMark613 won the episode contest (Homefront)

I won the theme contest (Founders)

And nx1701g won the random theme contest (Nebulas)

Congrats!


This week's episode is The Darkness and the Light from season 5. The theme is Trill (any Trill ever shown on the show or the planet itself). And the random theme is Back to school.

The theme must be DS9 related, while the random theme can be from just anything. The avatars have to conform to board rules: Up to 120x120 px, 20 kb for jpg and 60 kb for gif.

You've got until Friday evening CET to enter your avatars. Have fun and congrats again to the winners!

I've got my "Trill" theme entry already -

- back later with the rest.

 

[BigFoot]

^ Nice.

 

[od0_ital]

Thanks. It's an oldie, but a goodie.

 

[BigFoot]

^ Agreed.

And here are my other two entries. For 'The Darkness and the Light', I'm goin' with Odo & Kira in sickbay -

And for the "Back to School" random theme, I've got the O'Brien's with the bell from DS9 'A Man Alone' -

Opinions, if any?

Here's my avatar for the theme:

If you're going with that (^), then I'll go with this:

Here's my episode entry:

Here are my entries:

For the episode theme.

For the Trill theme.

And the random theme (Back To School). Just in case you're wondering, it's DS9's schoolroom burning from first seasons "In The Hands Of The Prophets".

Man, I obviously have too much time ...

*sighs and waits for the usual extremely tedious avatars of (*gasp*) Jadzia kissing a GIRL!!!*

I wonder if we can get through ONE Trill thread without one of those?

 

[BigFoot]

^ Probably not. At least my avatars are of Ezri kissing a girl.

I think I may need to change my Trill entry...

WINNER!

 

[EMHMark613]

^that's not fair.

I used that picture, but animated, twice in the DS9 contests, and I got a long "talk" from someone saying that it was not appropriate as an avatar.

Why is it OK now?

(Oh, and by the way, when I used it I didn't get as many votes...the first time I only got 2)

 

[PKTrekGirl]

^ Are you serious???

Good grief - they are just MESSING with me, 'fer cryin' out loud.

And you know what? - the reason you got the 'talk' (as you call it) before is not because you posted the avatar. It was because you posted it twice in as many weeks and then COMPLAINED because you didn't win either time you used it as your entry. My recollection is that you were stunned that such a great entry would not win.

The 'talk' was simply to explain to you why you didn't win: that being that the use of that picture is not even REMOTELY original in this forum. In fact, it has been done to death. And for many of us, is downright tedious at this point.

Post it every week if you want, EMHMark. Knock yourself out. I couldn't possibly care less. But don't complain when you don't win. Because that photo is little more than a tired, fanboi cliche around here.

I can't imagine that this will settle the dispute, but my male fantasy all went wild and this is the result ...
