Spray contest: Bring out ya vote!

It has been a while ago that we started a contest of making ingame sprays that can be recruited to get people to join our club and to participate in pugs. Since we are not getting any more contestants i thought it would be time to choose the winner who gets a custom hat of his choice and the second place will get a month free of class limit and gscramble immunity!

We will vote for the member recruitment spray only because the other category only had one contestant. Besides, we don't do many pugs anymore since we prefer scrimming and lobby.

Forum permissions allow only members and applicants to bring out there vote here, so don't try to get all your friends to vote you. This poll will close in 10 days and the winner will be announced and spray taken into use.

The rules of the contest:
-spray in vtf format (you can convert your image with VTFEdit)
-should read something people can type into chat (like app or join) OR go to www.pulpfortress.com or both? Just keep the instruction and amount of text as minimal as possible
-dimensions should be 256x256 and the filesize no larger then 120KB

Here are the contestants:


by Ninji


by Dr. 69'er


by Dark Soul - option 1


by Dark Soul - option 2


by Siphex

Only five of these are at the proper resolution. The ones built at 256²px will look the best in-game (multiples of that [i.e.: 512²px, 1024²px, et cetera] are also permissible because they reduce without severe distortion).
Only two of these have transparency (coincidentally, they're both at 256²px). I personally value transparency quite highly because it makes sprays look more professional.

The way I see it, this is a choice between Siphex and Panda.

I would say Siphex #1 or Ninji. Also Dr. 69'ers sprays are too big to be a spray resulting in poor quality/unreadable text when in-game.

Siphex ftw.

I'd go with Ninji's.

Too bad you can't lock the poll to those who submitted a spray

I haven't made up my mind between chuck's option 2, Ninji's or Siphex. Bummer about chucks is that the text is too small.

if i could vote i choose siphex

I'd go with two options; Dr 69'er and Siphex

I'd go with Dr 69'er's because he has put effort and time in these sprays, but, they need to be made smaller because if you put them in game they'd be very hard to read.

But, in my community/clan server in DoD:S The President of UKCS, TC (The Controller), has made loads of sprays as Dr 69'er has made and the same size, so, I don't know how they wouldn't be able to read in-game.

I'd also go with Siphex because;

He's put more originality into his ideas
He's made it more colourful
He knows what he's gonig to do before he does
He had a range of idea's running through his head.

I asked 69'er to reduce his size, but he didn't . You can imagine that if you shrink his sprays, the text will become unreadable. Just try it if you don't believe me. Also i removed his 2nd spray from the competition because i noticed it was a spray to promote the ESF.

I also like Adam's animated spray but i could not let it join the competition because he did not add an instruction in the spray; like type app or join.

I don't recall seeing that. Even if it can't compete, d'ya mind posting it?

heck yah chuck option one, wish i would have voted for you instead of option 3 wait, what happened to my vote, it was in three...

Waiit , I thought I voted for Siphex.

Edit: The polls got fucked up .

I voted for Ninji because it's funny, it's relevant (Pulp Fiction :-)) and it's readable.

Problem i see with your first option Chuck is that the text isn't properly readable with that TF2 icon on the background, specifically the part where it says 'orange'. I would appreciate it if you could modify both sprays a bit. I love the orange one, but do the URL with a bigger font size please.

I suspect something must have gone wrong when i deleted Dr. 69'er option2. I temporarily allowed vote cancelling. If you your vote isn't in the right spot please vote again!

Seems like a lot of people already fixed their vote, i will turn off vote canceling soon.

option 1 by chuck FTW

I'm not a fan of that one because we're more than an orange clan, I don't us to solely attract orange only noobs.

Should I keep my vote a secret?

Will Siphex and I get a runners up hat since we are tied for second?

It seems Ninji has won the contest!! Congrats Ninji, now go pick your custom hat!

Siphex and Chuck share the 2nd place. And will each get 2 months of class limit and gscramble immunity!

Can all of you please e-mail the spray you made to me in vtf format so we can make it available on the homepage for everyone to download? eraserhead [at] pulpfortress.com

I've added in your immunities Chuck and Siphex.
