Clan of the Year Contest #4 is a clan group photo contest! The idea is to get as many of your clanmembers' photographs together + photochop them into a group portrait.
Clans are free to be as creative with their entry as they wish, + it is within the guidelines of this contest to use representations of clanmembers rather than actual photos, however: entries of this nature have traditionally scored poorly, so take this path at your own risk!
There is no need to sign up; just have your clan's entry posted in this thread on or before the 31st of August. The deadline has closed! Each clan has 1 week to review the other submissions + place their vote for 1st + 2nd places.
If you have any questions, or need some help finding someone to 'chop for your clan, feel free to post here.
Congratulations to our new friends in the Pack! They pulled off a pretty solid win here. Nice to see solid entries from the new clans, I look forward to seeing you all in future contests
Clan Contest 2008 #4: Group Photo
1st - the Pack
2nd - Pages
3rd - ARD
4th/5th - Izzet + MTGSalivation
6th/7th - the Called + R&D
8th - House Dimir
This thread is now open to all for discussion.
I think this is a great contest to do yearly, as it creates a sort of snapshot of where we are. . . + maybe next year we'll stick in a bonus for highest member/appearance ratio or something
We're looking for something easy + brainless for Contest #5, so start hounding your clan rep now!
Congrats the Pack and pages, it was a tough choice deciding who had the best entry- most of them were so good. Next time though, watch out- we'll be out to snatch the glory

How do points get distributed? I totally forget. Also, is there somewhere with the tally that I seem to not be able to find?

Winner MTGS Weekly Sig/Banner Contest
Weeks: 37/85/87/94/135/159/160/226
1st: 9 Points
2nd: 5 Points
3rd: 3 Points
4th: 2 Points
5th: 1 Points
6th: 1 Points
For ties, the places are added + split evenly.
The tally remains hidden as it causes heaps political voting (ie; "ARD are winning, let's not vote for their entry even though it rocks").
It was good, but with only one member it's tough to get the nod from anyone.
ALSO: congrats to Pack and Pages and let me say that the Izzet may have placed 4th, but we did call the winners exactly with our votes!

"In another life, in another dream,
By a different name,
Gave it all away for a memory and a quiet lie.
But I felt the face of a cold tonight,
Still don't know the score,
But I know the pain of leaving everything very far behind.
And if I could cry,
And if I could live,
What truth I did then take me there,
Heaven Goodbye."
