Use it as a sig at Landgrab.

I'm not sure people would be too upset if you found them to be retarded.

i think they are both reeeaaaalllllyyy cool

Rocketry

Those are some fantastic sigs. Shame you guys didn't add them to the banner contest.

I'm going to say I LOVE number 5. It's so wonderfully ironic

7 and 9 also made me laugh

10 is easily the most slick of them all.

number 2 probably has the best caption: Are you dead yet? But i don't like the graphics - nuke war was never high on my list of likes.

was thinking the exact same thought

These are all pretty fantastic...I don't even know if I can pick a favorite!

I really like: #4, #7, and #10

Though these follow close behind the above mentioned: #8 and #9

Well done guys...keep going! I'd like to see lots of these!

#9 #9 #9

If I had to rank them, I'd do it thusly:

1. #10 - just the slickest and most professional looking of the bunch
2. #5 - the sheer originality and comedic sense (from an outside perspective)
3. #9 - if the canon were a bit more clearly a canon, this would probably jump to first. The grainy look with the coffee stain, makes it seem like a road sign/billboard. But, even then the canon would much more clearly be a canon. As it is, one could almost confuse it for a gas pump.
4. #6 - this is a slick professional looking map with a haunting undertone
5. #7 - this is definitely the best purely CC/Risk signature
6. #8 - feels almost as if it was designed specifically for the banner contest. Nice, but a bit too much reading ! I just noticed the die border framing the picture. If you had made it 3 reds and 1 or 2 whites and had different numbers, this would have jumped to third.
7. #4 - Doesn't make enough sense/link to Conquer Club well. True #2 doesn't either, but that's basically so out there and it's not TRYING to tie in (too hard)
8. #3 - I would really like this one if the guy didn't look so much like Emperor Ming from the old Flash Gordon movies. Plus, it's a fantastic quote for the site. The red lines all around seem to take away from the desired effect.
9. #2 - Great Tag line. Too bad the art wasn't better
10. #1 - Interesting twist on Hope Springs Eternal, but it's a bit too crowded and the tag doesn't roll off the tongue like it should

To sum it all up - I'd give mibi a slight 51 to 49 advantage. If I were presenting to the Joint Chiefs of Staff - I'd use #10. Pretty much everywhere else, I'd go with #5. Unless my life depended on it (then #10 again).

Come on RJ!

most of these are better than banner contest ones lol.

I voted for Mibi because I extremely loved the sig number 3 :

the crying man with the for those who love the smell of napalm in the morning ... that was when i decided where my vote was going

RJbeals , although my vote went for Mibi .... U have done an extraordinary job as well.... only thing u werent original in 1 of those sigs .. the 1 with the cannon and the Site introduction next to it!

This one gave me the most trouble. I actually pulled out my risk game, took a digital picture of the canon, then brought it in photoshop & posterized it. I dislike the dice border - and I wish I didn't put it there, and although I like the line of army men, I don't like the way they blend with the canon.

Thanks for the votes guys. Even coming close to mibi is sweet. Remember he made the SEIGE map, the D-Day: Omaha Beach map, and the unfinished but very impressive The Trojan War map.

RJbeals all the way!

I like numbers 4 and 10 the most (both by RJ)

These signatures are all incredibly awesome.

You guys should have another battle.

Can 1 of you do me a sig if I pm what I want please

I forgot how great this was... these could be some killer ads.

These are very nice. One of mibi's is missing though!

These were indeed extremely fun to watch develop. I'd like to see something like this again...perhaps for a contest medal? Hm?

We had the layer battle arena for a bit, but not much was done there. This could be cool and some of these should be used as ads by lack...

I agree. I was always found of this one from another layer battle. I like how it turned out.

Will there be anyone to challenge mibi ?
