The ones on the very last few pages are just...painful.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I spent as much time on mine as it took to click the "Load Saved Outfit" She was wearing the same thing last Christmas. Ooooo minus the beauty mark. That was new =)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I got . I suppose people didn't know my avatar was supposed to be a holiday shopper. Congrats to the top ten and everyone else.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Congrats to the winners!! The avatars look great! About my score... let's not talk about that xD Oh well, I didn't spend much time on my avatar At least there's pie!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Woo. ! ^^

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Congratulations to the winners. Sadly, I didn't see most of them. And the haters are always gonna hate. Can't do much about that.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

LOL, I'm 3166!! I was being different but most people didn't like my "When Hell Freezes Over" human. Oh well!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

With the strong similarities between some of the Top 10 avatars, I think there might have been quite a few repeats because people A) genuinely liked the look and B) perhaps thought they were voting on the same HA once more. That could account for some of the scores, and I think there is enough evidence out there to reinforce the assertion that tradition usually wins out over abstractism. Look at the winner for the EpiCon contest...it was Jasmine from the Disney movie Aladdin, a character that most every Western Subeta player is familiar with from their own childhood! Therefore, it makes sense that a traditional "caroler" outfit would settle into the hearts of a lot of voters

All of the winners did very well on their HAs and I enjoyed voting for them

Also, to whoever asked about a "double-no" button, I believe Keith has already provided that in the "Neither, Skip!" option available at the bottom of each voting pair

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

wince I really didn't think I'd get this bad a score... I tried to think out of the box. Most of the HAs that looked 'good' looked the same. Just a bunch of nice clothes thrown on with a nice backdrop.

I probably feel a bit sour because my entry's score was close to one that just put on the snowman body wearable with creepy eyes...

Oh well...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I do still think that there should be at least four options to choose from at a time. Even if you were on for ten hours a day and voted every chance that you could, you would still have only seen fewer than half of the HA's... and that's only if you never saw the same one more than once! (I saw two specific ones over a half dozen time each). Also, the only one of the top TWO HUNDRED that I even saw (let alone top twenty!) was Weasley's! (which I did vote for, although I had thought at the time that it was Georgie's, which is similar, but it was the better of my two options either way ) Something in the system is definitely flawed somewhere... But congrats to the top ten!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Still, I think that if you didn't see anyone in the top, that's prolly a good thing. The chance to be ranked should be as fair as possible- if people with a higher percent got more chances to be judged, they'd be outclassed by an avatar that got only one yes vote, or blow away a great avatar with three yays and one nay. Of course, don't listen to me. I got 12th place. So close, yet so far.... That sword would have been a great way to tie an espergile fusion gem into an avatar.

That being said, I'd like to see an option to forego a vote, (As general "No" to both, perhaps?) and prizes distributed based on percents.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

! Wow! ps - Hallows, yours was my favorite

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow, so many Debbie Downers. I'm sorry you guys thought maybe my HA was uncreative, but I did spend a lot of time working on it. How nice to place well in a contest and read the news post only to see most people just talking smack.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

YAAAAY, this is the first time I've gotten more than 50%. XDDD;;;;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

HOLY CRAP FIFTH PLACE!!!! Wow thanks everyone who voted for me

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So much for trying to be different and thinking outside the box in hopes that people would get tired of seeing the same thing over and over again. At least I can attempt to sell the pie for about half of it's "worth". Meh.

Anywho...congrats.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Also, if the top ten really did get Oracles Short Swords and every single other entry got the pie, I find that a very odd choice in rewards

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Congratulations to the winners I guess... I still really hope the voting system for future contests is improved :"T

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I am not gonna lie. I do not like most of the Top Ten's HAs all that much. But considering that almost all the entries I saw sucked, someone had to win, and I guess it was better some of them than the ones I usually saw, right? So, in an off-hand way, congrats to the winners. Not to beat you down, of course. I genuinely mean it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think that all the top 10 deserved it. Seriously, think back at all the HAs you saw while voting. I never saw any of these ones, but if I had, I would have voted for them. So much of what I saw was just crap. Who gives a shit if 10/3700 look similar... They still all look NICE.

Congrats to the winners.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Congratulations guys! C:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Number -something.

Glad I placed where I deserved. Thanks for having taste, guys!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm proud of myself! Gratzy to the winners, and everyone for that matter!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Congradulations to the winners, and everyone else who participated along with me. c:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

hazi - Are you serious, dude? First, you're being incredibly rude. Second, pretty much 99% of the subeta population is female. And guess what? We like pretty dresses. Get over it.

Congratulations to the top ten, and to everyone! Sorry so many people are being Debbie Downers and raining on all of your parades.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

DoomQueen, that's pretty much how it feels. All day it's been reading about people being shocked that you won because apparently a piece of crap was put together. Or that it's uncreative. Or bland. I thought a Victorian entry would be nice but it seems like I should feel guilty for putting it together and that some of the other winners wore a dress, or had the same backdrop or god forbid wore a hat.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I agree with starshadow.

Any who. Didn't place very high, but it doesn't matter. It was still cool.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

My first contest and I got . Better than I thought!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'd hate to have placed on the front page only to come read the comments to find out everyone thought I sucked

I do so love pie though :3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I was in the 2000s. :c Apparently my HA skills need serious reconsidering... :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well maybe if everyone did the same thing and only voted for the HAs they really liked instead of just picking the best of 2 bad choices so bad entries don't get many votes, that might make the results better. So the good HAs would automatically get more votes. That's how I'm going to do this from now on, if neither HA is really good I will skip.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

give subeta a girl with facy clothes or a johnny depp wannabe HA and you'll be in the top

i suggest a food war event with the snowberry pies o/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Congrats winners ! And thanks for the pie =3 I do prefer wearables, but, we cannot always have things be wearable.

I do, though, feel the need to point out that a couple of the top ten winners just look like their wardrobe blew up on their avatar.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I had to admit I'm a bit disappointed with the results. I've seen more awesome and well themes HAs that I'd love to have seen on the top 10, but nothing :/

anyways.. congratz to the winners..

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Guys, were we supposed to enter to be voted for? Or, was it just all of the HA's on teh site that were judged? I know, I'm a loser .. I dodn't pay attention, I just totally enjoyed voting! XD

Out of those that placed, I have to say, my favourites were (in order of preference) and toss up between and !

Voting was fun! Are there any other of these, aside from Luminere?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't really get this contest this time to be honest. I like my number, but some of the people who got low ratings deserved more. I swear...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Awesome. wasn't too bad at all.

But...a pie?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Mm. ... Not too bad. X3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Atleast I've got pie!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I have to admit, I'm pretty disappointed with this. I ended skipping a good 75% of all my votes due to HAs with no snow theme/items or simply being crap, and I didn't see any of the top 20, or even top 30 that I can remember. I'd really like to see an overhaul of the voting system. Think I'm going to have to steer clear of things like this 'til that happens

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Congrats to the winners. Like lots of other people I didn't see any of the top 20. I really wish a new form of voting would be used. I liked the voting used in the first contest much more than I like the current system. During the whole contest I voted for maybe 10-15 avatars I thought were really nice. Even looking at the first page, most of the winners look nice but there are ones just as nice if not nicer that placed much further back.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

! And I voted enough that I saw several of the top 20. But yeah, I'm actually pretty disappointed in the consolation prize. I understand not giving out anything "cool" since we don't want to encourage people to enter with crappy HAs, but this is a little anticlimactic after a month of staring at an endless parade of snow vomit.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

where are all the Edward Scissorhands at? I thought that was a requirement for these things.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I have got to stop voting in these things, they are driving me insane. :

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Those are very lovely HA's in the top 10, and I did see quite a few of the ones on the first pages while voting! I do enjoy costume contests, that was quite a fun addition to Luminaire.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

- Not bad. :3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thanks for the pie and congrats to the winners, I had fun. I don't recall seeing any of the top 20 avatars .... but i would of voted for them. I ended up skipping a lot of voting due to avatars without a snow item.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Neh, I did SO badly compared to the last two times. |D Was hoping for more original avatars, but... oh well. Not trying to be a whiner. -hides- Good job, though~

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yay for results

I loved the 1st place HA and I know I voted for it, but the rest are kinda disappointing. They all look similar and to me they lack creativity. There were definitely other HAs out there that were much more creative than what's in the top 10. :/

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well at least no costume/character themed ones won.
