You might not necessarily win, but you could always say you'd made the Champion Poll again. I'd love to be able to say I made it to a Champion Poll.

I'll explain it better when the poll is here. Basically its a Poll with multiple votes and no champion poll. The top x entries will be winners.. or something like that..
Piet :: I'll allow it, but rotational symmetry doesn't really work with a banner format. I believe they discussed it at length in the appropriate thread and determined that there weren'y going to use rotational. I think its fine and is clever.
i just uploaded a pic of my last sig. this isn't the final so i haven't put it into the post yet. still needs spots for the links. i just uploaded it be cause i need to remove malware from my comp. and dont want to loose it...

So, let's get going right from the beginning, shall we? Yes, I did connect all my entries with a single theme, which is Umineko no Naku Koro Ni. The fact that I finished reading it not too long ago makes it worthy of such honor in my eyes, and I've obviously done my best because of that. If you don't know anything about the source material, that's okay, because you can still enjoy my great skills (or the lack of any, for that matter). And, of course, it is never late to read the novel itself!
This is one of the few themes among the first 50 that allows to use non-MtG art, so it wasn't a hard choice (especially if you're allowed to make a 450x150 banner). I also had an obvious joke to use and some cool Battler images, so it wasn't hard to make, either. And, well, you can't have Umineko without Battler, right?
If you think about this entry as an entry of episode I, it is also extremely anti-fantasy... or something like that.
Ah, the mama bear and the awesomeness that is World End Dominator scene. If you've read it, you know that it's one of the very best scenes in the whole game, and certainly is the greatest jewel in the crown of Episode II. How could I possibly ignore it? Not to mention that this is a pretty nice look at the "scary" theme (ever seen a parent protecting his kid? Scary indeed).
I should also note that other themes from 50 to 99 that got my attention were music, 450x150 (bah, too simple), anime verical banner and non-Magic artists (again, too simple). And hey, I managed to fit them all in this one... sort of.
When you're talking about Umineko and the opposites, there's no way you can't mention the conflict of mystery and fantasy genres, which is actually the main idea of the whole game. Now, how do you represent it in a banner? By showing Battler and Beatrice, of course. Bonus points for the chess theme, the whole "battle of minds" feel, and sort-of-symmetry in the banner. I guess there's no need in the avatar here, because I like the banner enough without one.
Also, it should be noted that episode III has the very first equilibrium in the game... which doesn't last all that long.
Magic is not only demons and murders, it's actually all about love. This, too, is one important theme of Umineko... and episode IV, in particular. This entry may not be obvious at first, but that only means it gets points for obscurity... or that I'm not afraid to spoil important plot twists. Sorry. It also happens to be one of the most vertical banner-y arts I've ever used, so I guess I'm really lucky that this week was about, well, vertical banners.

...And that makes my entry the most text-heavy one this week. Cool.
