  1. No all or nothing. It was like crickets in here. There are TONS of obscure sigs out there that are impossible to "read", so there's lots of potential candidates, plus the guys who sign different ways. Which would be better (more fun)? a) 10 sigs like before, but no all or nothing. Winner decided by most correctly submitted. b) 1 sig at a time. Winner decided by who gets it right first. (This is probably easiest to implement.) c) ? Points to each correct answer, so the effort isn't wasted. A is just like before, with the points being all or nothing in this case. All or nothing makes people feel like it's a wasted effort. I'm not following. How would it work? Contestant 1 gets 7 right, 7 points. Contestant 2 gets 1 right, 1 point. Contestant 3 gets 2 right, 2 points. Oh, I see what you mean.

  3. I don't recall signing that book, but that's definitely my heart. I totally thought of you when I first saw that.
  4. Game Suggestions So Far a) 10 sigs like before, but no all or nothing. Winner decided by most correctly submitted. b) 1 sig at a time. Winner decided by who gets it right first. (This is probably easiest to implement.) c) 5 at a time, +1 for each book correctly identified d) 1 sig at a time. Winner decided by who gets it right first. Crop area of pic incrementally increased over set intervals.* * - I just thought of this.

  6. That was fun. I like this game. How can I make it better? Would it be better to do one sig at a time?

  9. Here is #6. (Eric Stephenson) I think this is the one most people were having problems with.
  10. No bonus points this round, but I like the idea.
  11. Here are the details: 1) Alien Encounters #6 - Bruce Jones 2) Amazing Spider-Man #332 - Eric Larsen 3) Amazing Spider-Man #359 - Mark Bagley 4) Cloak And Dagger #4 - Rick Leonardi 5) Invaders #12 - Roy Thomas 6) Nowhere Men #1 - Eric Stephenson 7) Ren & Stimpy Show #1 - John Kricfalusi 8) Thor #337 - Walt Simonson 9) Uncanny X-Men #251 - Marc Silvestri 10) Amazing Spider-Man #8 - Scott Campbell
  12. Just a reminder that if no one solves this, I'll be giving hints starting at 5 PM PST. A couple suggestions/comments: Sometimes it helps to decrease the size of the photos as an aid to recognition. With PCs, this is easily done by holding the control key and rolling the thumb wheel. There is no rule against multiple submissions. But, as mentioned, if you don't get all 10, you'll probably be helping someone else solve theirs. Prior to 5 PM PST, if someone submits a contest entry and doesn't win, I will note in the tread that the game has not yet been won. After 5PM PST, if someone submits a contest entry and doesn't win, I will also note how many were correct. (I think this makes sense. Since the other contestants benefit from the information, the submitter should also benefit by getting some sort of hint as well). Godspeed. Hint #1 Rocky's score was 9 out of 10 correct. Next hint in 15 minutes. Hint #2 1) Eclipse 2) Marvel 3) Marvel 4) Marvel 5) Marvel 6) Image 7) Marvel 8) Marvel 9) Marvel 10) Marvel Next hint in 30 minutes. Hint #3 #/Publisher/First Letter of Series Title (as stated on slab) 1) Eclipse, A 2) Marvel, A 3) Marvel, A 4) Marvel, C 5) Marvel, I 6) Image, N 7) Marvel, R 8) Marvel, T 9) Marvel, U 10) Marvel, A Next hint in 30 minutes.

  16. I searched a while but could not find the Menace PL nomination. Any idea what that link is? If we can find it, it may be a good idea to contact the original PL nominator and see if they want them re-added or if restitution has already been made. Here you go: JDub requests PL for Menace joecgcmaniac starts HOS Poll for Menace
  17. [+] Oh, I'm well aware of that. But, I spent too much time wracking my brain about Leonardi, so someone else can have it. Cool. (thumbs u
