Show your pride

[Slime Slayer]

So Kong suggested it might be a good Idea for members of teams to have their team logo put into a signature.

I for one think this is an excellent idea, this will help new users be aware that teams do in fact exist, also to let old members keep a good idea of who's active on what team. Plus you will look super cool with your super sweet new team sigs.

Any thoughts? Are any of you team members not willing to sacrifice your uber awsome sig's that you have now? The way I see it it should really be all or nothing, if every one would show their team pride it would be cool, if only half decide they would like too then it wouldn't be so cool.

[Smittycal]

I think it would be a cool idea

[Winnebagel]

I'm not really down with the idea of everyone being forced to have a team logo as their permanent sig. I think signatures can be unique and make someone distinct with their own identity. If there was a way to have an additional sig just for a logo like that, that would be cool, but not if it takes the place of a sig someone might want.

Having said that, Essie that new VG logo is ubersweet!

[jim5cents]

I think the logo is pretty cool...but it is even more vicious not to conform to logos.

Ever since I joined EC I have had a Proud to be EC in mine.

@WB, I'm glad you like it, you'll be seeing it in your nightmares come next contest.>:D

@Jim, but wouldnt it be even more vicious to not conform to not conforming?

@Tails, I read that several times and assumed it had something to do with colecttoons or pokemon or something. That's partially because it's worded weird. (it's suggesting that you are Eternal Champions) But a logo would have been no question.

Wait a minute, is this a typo? Or is this the latest variation?

Well we are Eternal Champions.

I think Bagel meant VD, not VG.

GOM is too laid back to require members to do these things.

[Tails]

Heard from DB you made him do suggestive things though. o.o

[Winnebagel]

Tenser's right. I meant VD. My bad. I must have had video games on the brain.

[joz]

I like the idea, but I also agree with Bagel. Perhaps repping the team logo on your sig only during competition to get some attention. The idea for this is to get more members to join up and play right? Doing the sig rep is only good for those that bother reading threads where it's mostly just a dozen or so talking with each other...we need to get more personal and go out and invite people. That's what I did and managed to pull a team of 7. Some had history with the law, but most had no idea that there was some team action going on.

[Winnebagel]

Maybe you guys should have called your guys the Young Guns or Outlaws. ;)

Or the Cincinnati Bengals.

[Smittycal]

Why not just put the team banners on the Home page? That way you can advertise the teams and make people aware of there existance without haveing to visit the forum.

I like the idea of only having them in your sig during tournaments but I think that if you want to have it all the time you should be able to (or unless you leave the team)

[tanc24]

I have a little blurb about the GOM in my sig, but I'm cool with adding a picture. When I have a moment, I'll search for it.

[Demon-Mask]

Speaking of teams:
Does anyone have an opening?
I've dealt with all of my problems with ArcadeOX, and have improved some. I just haven't gotten around to chasing high scores.

That and I have enough time to devote to contests.

[CatalystiCam]

pretty sure we can have two sigs, can we not?

You should really try and get some trophies and put up some scores, right now the teams don't even know if you play on the site or not. A good candidate needs too have at least some proof of his ability.

[Dudebro]

I prefer the team logo under the avatar thing but if it's too much work or w/e I'm fine with sigs.

Ditto.

[Gamenguru]

I agree DB. Having team logos underneath one's avatar makes more sense to me, if it's possible to do.

I think signatures should be an individual choice and I don't plan to replace my signature with an Eternal Champions logo any time soon. Actually, my avatar is basically an EC logo.

@SC That VD signature is pretty cool though.;)

[jim5cents]

@Jim, but wouldnt it be even more vicious to not conform to not conforming?

No, I will argue though that it is definately most vicious to not conform to those who are not conforming to not conforming.

If I had to choose between a spot under the avatar or in the sig, I would choose under the avatar.

[Kugyince]

Problem is, VD doesn't have anything worthy of showing pride in.

I will continue to not conform to those not conforming by not conforming for non conformists who are not conforming. Thus I will do what ever my little cold, dead heart desires with my own signature.

Except for placing ahead of GOM in all the tournaments that we have had since VB was formed.

Well alright, I'll get out there.

Been hitting the sauce tonight I see.

Retro Uprising - Arcade - Tournament - Balloon Fight (http://retrouprising.com/arcade.php?do=viewtourney&tid=18)

http://retrouprising.com/contests/closed-contests/team-marathon-ii/t8673/

[Slime Slayer]

Well we tied in one of those, and GOM occupied the whole left side of the brackets in the balloon fight so essentially you guys cheated on that one.8)

[tanc24]

That made me :lol:

Challenge him to a 1945kIII battle Steven!

[jim5cents]

Cassidy beat me to it...you guys got a bogus draw in the tournament and heavily favored GOM...and oh boy, did you guys cry and complain about that. Plus I would argue that we beat you in marathon. We beat all of your games. GOM did not beat all of ours.

I agree the draw was bogus, it put GOM at a large disadvantage by guaranteeing half of our placers were KO'd the first round. I distinctly remember having to step in as the judge and rule against my team's wishes (and my own) for a last minute rules change. You can spin it how you want.

I could argue that we came in second in the marathon. Not only was VD not even able to beat their own nominations, GOM reached 11 completions quite a while before VD did.



Point is, this is you talking out of your ass:
Except for placing ahead of GOM in all the tournaments that we have had since VB was formed.

This is you trying to dig out of it when you were called out on it:
you guys got a bogus draw in the tournament and heavily favored GOM

This is you attempting to resort to semantics and failing quite miserably at it:
I would argue that we beat you in marathon. We beat all of your games. GOM did not beat all of ours.

[tanc24]

Plus I would argue that we beat you in marathon. We beat all of your games. GOM did not beat all of ours.

That's your argument? Your own TEAM didn't even beat your selections.

GOM was the first to beat 11 of the 12 games. If it wasn't for Billy Mitchell , err Winnebagel, we would've won the Team Marathon outright. As for the Balloon Fight tournament, don't even get me started. If only I could've found an Internet cafe in Pamplona. :weep:

I do like that this thread has gotten the competitive juices flowing. Bring on the next team competition!

I think this is a good idea. It's really cool.
