LITERALLY A BIRD: Sep 27, 2008; I knew you were trouble
when you flew in

Spoilers: the prizes are gangtags.

I know a lot of people want new gangtags, so it's time to flex your creative muscles. Design us an exciting new tag and post it in this thread, and in one week (that's Friday, November 7th) I'll edit all the entries into the OP and add a poll so we can vote for our favorite. On Monday, November 10th, the designer of the winning gangtag will get one of their very own for free! Wow!

Once a winner has been decided I'll also post instructions on adding a gangtag beneath your avatar, so that everybody else can have one too.

Rules:
1. The tag must be PI-related. It can be a forum meme, or a portrait of Refurb, or anything really, so long as it has something to do with Pet Island.
2. The tag must be work-safe! No exceptions.
3. Multiple entries per person are okay!

I'm excited to see what everybody comes up with, so don't disappoint me goons :argh:

Have fun and good luck!

Edit1: Runners-up gangtag designers will also get a free tag!
Edit2: Gangtags have been given out! Thanks all! For anybody else who'd like a tag, the code is:

code:

Just purchase a new avatar, add that text to your title field, and you're good to go.

I'll leave this stickied for another few days for url-retrieving purposes.

Since a couple people have already asked, SA administration doesn't give out mass gangtags anymore, which is why only the winner is guaranteed a free tag. ~~I will see about giving a couple runners-up tags as well, but I can't promise anything.~~ The runners-up in the contest will also receive one of the winning gangtags! Thanks Xylo!

Not that I'm aware of. I'd say 150 x 50 and 50 kb should be the absolute max. For reference the bird crazies tag is 125 x 25, and most avatars are also 125 by whatever.

I don't really think I'll need to put up a poll this weekend. :v:

Odds are, Official Bizness and Tasty_Crayon will both get the new gangtag for their efforts. Since there were only two gangtags submitted, Friday evening I'll raffle off a couple more free tags amongst the people who have posted (however jokingly) in this thread.

Does that sound fair?

# ? Nov 5, 2014 22:43

LITERALLY A BIRD: Sep 27, 2008; I knew you were trouble

As of today, Thursday the 6th,

is probably going to be the tag. Assuming Official Bizness's offer still stands and she doesn't want to double up on gangtags, Tasty_Crayon and whichever name Bizness submits to me will get free tags (and avatar changes if they so desire). e: Bizness decided she wanted hers

1. Official Bizness
2. Tasty_Crayon

I'll also raffle off 3 more tags amongst the folks that posted in this thread. So far, that includes:

Superconsndar,
Shiny Penny,
Battle Pigeon,
adventure in the sandbox,
Fraction,
paisleyfox,
Fluffy Bunnies,
Sharpest Crayon,
Los Lobos,
ButWhatIf,
Chido,
Kerfuffle,
Radio!,
Triangulum,
Invalid Octopus.

I'll draw the names tomorrow night.

Uhhh I think I had something else to say but I totally forgot it so whatever I guess :derptiel:

Hey Bizness, I PMed you but I'm not sure you saw it. Would it be possible to pare down the size of the gangtag a bit? I made a mistake when I gave the original parameters, 30kb is closer to what the admins are looking for.
