Signatures in the Playing the Game forum (PbP players please read)

[Brother Shatterstone]

Yeah, I use my sig for links to my characters and games. If it were once a page, I guess it'd get the job done too, though.

Jdvn1, don't take this the wrong way but if we where in game together your signature would annoy me constantly and I would in return annoy you repeatedly.

Why's that? I purposely made my sig small to try to stay out of the way.

I turned all sig's off in the settings panel. So what do I care?

The usernamerightclickpublicprofile thingy is good to know though.

thotd.

I know this will come as a surprise but I hate the Sblock. I think it sticks out like a sore, not to mention obnoxious, thumb in my opinion.

And besides that your signature is awesome! I love that you promote PbP but if I’m reading the IC posts then chances are very high that I’m playing in that game.

I like the current once per page sig thing. (Yeah I'm a lazy who can't be bothered looking at the profile either).

Hm, that makes me want to do a poll to see if I should change my sig. "Is the sblock in my sig annoying?" Would you prefer the list of characters? I'm open to other ideas.

Spoiler

There's also a secret hidden in my sig! I enjoy that.

I also use the characters to go from one PbP game to another, so that's why it's useful to me. But I've been using my subcriptions more that for that, recently, because that tells me which has been updated. And there's no way to tell otherwise.

And my sig doesn't just promote PbP, but it tries to get more GMs. Very important for me.

I voted for I don't mind.

I wasn't aware of the custom though.

"Is the sblock in my sig annoying?"

Followed by, "Does this sblock make my sig look big?"

Most people list them in the PbP signature thread located in a sticky in talking the talk. I did what you did for a little bit but quickly realized that the fastest way to navigate ENworld was to do it by not using ENworld. Your signature is nothing more than a list of links and I did the same thing in HTML and I did that for quite some time... but really the best way to get from one side of PbP to the other is through the email subscriptions.

Does it? It seems to me to hint at the games you play in, not run, and you didn't even mention who's running each individual game.

Always...

I considered that, but didn't want to have to go to another page to see my games... it makes a middle man/page, basically. I'm still going back and forth on the idea, so I could be sold on it.

You had a separate page or what?

That's what I'm finding. Although... it's useful for the games, but not for the character sheets.

Well, it's:

Wanna run a game? Try EN World's own PbP boards! It's loads of fun. Here are my games so far:

So I'm showing them where to run a game. Then if they want to see how some games are like, they can look at the games I'm in. At least, that was my original intent. If I end up doing the thing in the PbP sig thread, I'd probably throw in more information like who's running the game.

I was considering making the sblock bigger by putting in commonly used stats... Init, Attack, Damage, Spells... I'll save that for the sig thread, though.
