You have got to give others a chance to solve, sir. 
I ain't got no signature.

You had three minutes, how much time did you want?

Just a suggestion - what if we make it the other way round? Instead of answering, let someone (probably the winner from the previous day) set a random word and others set clues for it. After certain time, say 4-5 hours, the best one (the one the poster likes the most or with most upvotes), wins and the poster (who had set the clue) gets to set the word the next day.
That way if would give fair time for everyone.

Now, do your magic 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Gawd da... elephantit OG ! You can outsmart me, but you can't outsmart bullets 
if(this.signature != "")

MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

But you can outrun them.
Admittedly, I can't outrun them, but Superman can!

Hmm, I can see the problem with that approach now.

It's a thought for a different type of game.
Might work...have a think for a while about rules and such like before you start it (gotta prevent the same guy posting it every day because he didn't like any of the answers etc.)
Not sure about the "Most upvotes" bit: sounds a bit like "fishing for rep points" and what do you do in the event of a tie? Doesn't it need balancing with "that's terrible" votes, which we can't do in the lounge?

Well, for me, your message show a post date of 4:17 AM.
While I could have solve this WSO CCC, at 4:17 AM my time, I was still sleeping...
Perhaps if the WSO CCC was delayed by 5 hours or so, others MAY have a chance to reply with an answer.

By needs a little work do you mean that the words aren't spelt the same, if so it's because it's a homophone which is a standard cryptic crossword device.

You'll have to excuse Griff, he's homophonic.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Some of my best friends are homophones!

Sounds like it.

Yes, they are - but they normally have a "sounds like" indicator as part of the clue.

Only when parts of the clue are homophones, not when the whole clue is one.

Um .. er .. no! No, really, just no. Homophones must always be indicated. Trust me, I'm a cruciverbalist!
I suspect you are confusing this with a cryptic definition which is not at all the same thing!

Damnit, I know the answer for once, but I couldn't write a clue if my bacon depended on it.

They are harder to write than to solve, I agree.
