Not entirely surprisingly, most people did much better on one of their pieces than they did on their other. In the end, I'm voting for CharlieD, bobinite (despite use of the massively overused Acadian font), and FirePenguinMaster. Good job, all.
I'm going to abstain from this vote in protest of Gray being put on the list whilst clearly having an entry posted several hours after the deadline had been posted.
Again, nothing personal Gray, and I enjoy your work... But if we don't enforce the rules, there'd be no point in having them in the first place.
I tought it was against the rules as well to use stuff you had made earlier and gray made both of those before the competition afaik.

ah okey I didnt notice ^^ But I think that rule should only apply to bigger for next competition as the banners are supposed to follow the site rules.. and since there is no rules against having small banners its kind of against the nature of the rules..

Exactly. I was well within the rules provisions allowed by Feuerdrache.
Afterall, only allowing 600*100 pixel avatars, rather than making it the maximum size allowed, would be like saying that avatars must be 40 kb in size, rather than a maximum of 40 kb.

There are a couple of problems with that, though:
1) Feuerdrache didn't say that the banner could be less than 600x100
2) It's stated in the rules that it cannot be less than 600x100
Trying to justify breaking the rules now isn't fair to others that have broken the rules.
Hmm. Let's go for the money shot: a banner and avatar. Max size on the banner should be 600px wide by 100px high. The avatar must be less than or equal to 40KB in size and no larger than 100 px by 100 px.
600x100 is in fact the max size on banners according to the rules.. it is also the minimum, but that was left out. The minimum on Avatar was also left out in this post. To find rulings on matters left out, refer to the Rules sticky.
edit: I do disagree with the ruling, though. I've seen some good avatars and banners below the said size, maybe it could be changed?
1) Feuerdrache didn't say that the banner could be less than 600x100
Really?

Actually guys, Feuerdrache said it could be smaller this week if you wanted.
Quote from Feuerdrache »
The maximum size on the banner is 600x100. Therefore, you are able to make it smaller.
Also, I think we've had enough on this topic. The bottom line is the following: ButteBlues's submission is well within this weeks rules. The only one that could be disqualified for breaking the rules is Gray's, and I have no comment on that front.
Really?

Yes, really, that is not an actual quote.
edit: Yep, you're right, sorry.. it's embedded pretty deep on the thread on about page 4. Though he posted that ruling provision after ButteBlue posted his banner, but whatever.

Actually, the opening post clearly stats the max size is 600*100 pixels. Since no minimum size was posted at that time, it can be derived through logic that any size possible under 100 px in height or 600 in width was a valid entry.

I was hoping that's what would be garnered by the acute observer. I don't like to forcefeed basic logic.

Yeah, leave it out. I wasn't on time anyway.

I don't care if I was framed for murder if I only got a warning I would let it go.

Me either, but apparently some individuals have found such logic to be... difficult to comprehend.
