Congrats to all the winners. That Van Gogh is INSANE

My first time ever entering a cosplay and I was on the 11th page. Can't complain about that and I love the prizes for entering! :)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

thanks for that event subeta :3 i really enjoyed a lot of the cosplayers XD my favs were the sharkanado,beyonce she-hulk,grumpy cat and zoidberg cosplays because they really made me laugh xDD too bad i didnt entered with the ha like i have it now >.< i could have sworn i did

I agree that we should be able to buy from the 2010 shop... I went to search the items from that shop and some of them are available for only very high prizes (I love the Forest Sprite collection but I really don't have 30 million to spend on the metal corset... so really those items are practically impossible to get unless you still have some points left from the 2010 epicon...)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Congrats to all the winners! So many great cosplays!

One question, this whole time I'd been excited to earn points for expensive items from the 2010 prize shop (since I wasn't around back then), and was wondering if there would be any plans to make them available with 2013 points? I just assumed it would be so, since for example both Vesnali and Masque items are available no matter which year you participated (or at least the last few years). Any thoughts?

Congrats to the winners and thank you to staff for making an event that centered around games instead of battling or restocking. It was a nice change and I'm loving the new additions to the games room. The prizes are really cool (even though I had to have my 16 yr old explain most of the references). I wanted to do a Milla from the first Resident Evil movie cosplay, but couldn't find a dress that even came close...and now you guys made one! Very happy with that particular item. :) I enjoyed this event and my only complaint is the voting system for the cosplay. I know I kept seeing the same entries repeatedly and never even had a chance to vote for the majority of those that won the top 10 slots for both regular and CWs. I started looking through the full gallery and was amazed at how many of them I hadn't even seen while voting as well as amazed at how many higher rated ones were costume trunk HAs or almost identical to other entries that either were much higher or lower in the voting. If they are almost identical, why would one have so much higher of a rating? Oh...that's why...because one showed up much more frequently than the other and therefore had a higher possibility of getting votes.
But yeah...had fun with the event, love seeing all of the super creative cosplays, artwork on the prizes is excellent and love all the new games :D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Only looking - well, trying to look at the complete HA display now... Why isn't there at least a "nxt" button at the bottom?!? !!!!! This would take ages to scroll/click through with only a handful of avatars displayed on each page! :(

Also: Why wasn't the contestants description included in the original presentation - reading it now, is a tad too late! :(

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh and I forgot to mention the way the voting system works needs to be changed. When we cast a vote for someone, they should never appear again in our choices for voting. Most but one of the top ten never even showed for me to vote on,so something needs to be done about that. And there needs to be a requirement to link references for Cosplay entrants so we know who they are cosplaying. A name of the character should also be listed below pictures and a description you can scroll over,even if its something as simple as "Woody from Toy Story". Otherwise I skip because I can't identify who they're supposed to be.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Congrats to all the winners and a huge congrats to Fantasyrogue for his Cosplay of Van Gogh! I love Van Gogh and his art by the way! I hope that I can participate in the Cosplay part of Epicon the next time it happens! On a side note, I would like to add that I hope we do get an Epicon next year, and there is more activities to choose from besides just games especially for those of us with limited time. I also hope any points that we earn next Epicon, can be used to buy the 2013 items.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

That was super fast! Thanks for the event. Somehow nice to get a change and do some games, which will stay and give us a shot at all the new achievement prizes later on. Lots of books, so I'm glad, I have quite a lot of points. On the other hand, had I known, there wouldn't be any high price desirable items, I wouldn't have sacrificed that much beautiful sunshine to the computer - even though I didn't score too many wins all over, anyway.

I agree with all those, who ask for a change in voting. Sooo many repetitions! And we couldn't refresh to get a new set - more often I chose the somehow best of an altogether crappy set just in order to get the reminder and link for the next voting (wtf, for example so many mermaids without fins, when we have tons already in the beachshack plus Cash Shop plus even more?! Unrecognizable figures or people simply sending in their regular HA that has no reference to anything whatsoever, uncovered Zombies, HAs that in no way resembled the reference, weird selfmade drawings of the presented HA). Made me really angry having to choose between those over and over again, lol. Or I refused to vote for any and then forgot to vote again for hours. Next time I'll participate myself, as obviously there is no need to be a good HA builder or have any imagination or ideas, anyway. Sad, that I missed such a load of really gorgeous honestly CosPlaying HAs.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Omg sorry all these posts but I didnt notice how many spn tributes there are in the shop! Im dying. And the midna hair. You made my day subeta.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Also woah Im on page 66, and the third highest rated cas! [plus the highest rated special form of cas WOO LEVIATHAN <3] Im curious if we get points from what page we made it on for the cosplay? Ive never been apart of epicon, so I have no idea. Or is it only each top 10?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

yeah :)You have 161 EPICon 2013 points left.Not much, but for my fav. prizes enough! thy Subeta for the nice prizes ^^

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Forgot to say, I love the inigo. PB is one of my fav book/movies <3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I literally only saw like 2 of these in voting. Still a bit annoyed at how it was supposed to be random but some people saw the same people over and over, making it a bit unfair. But the winners were quite good. Sharknado made me lol. I just hope next year is more fair.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Haha unbelievable... despite my avatar clearly showing up on the enter contest page as the one I wanted, my previous and entirely unrelated avatar was the one that was entered into the contest. So fucking pissed.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Grats to the winner-I didn't even see it during voting but I tip my hat to you. P.S. Let me know how that yellow paint tastes :P (+1 If someone reads and understands that!)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh wow, on page 4! Thanks everyone! I honestly felt the Pocahontas was a little whitewashed though...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thank you for all the votes!! The top HAs are all amazing! Congrats!

Yes, it would... (and happy birthday!)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Page 4?! squeals That's amazing! ^_^

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow 4th place. Squee Thank you to everyone who voted for the Widow Tweed and Tod!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow pretty shocked to even make the top 10. Thanks for the votes.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Entered EPIContest Entered in the EPIContest and earned at least one point!

This achievement is the one I'm talking about. There is also one for the top 10, which I didn't not qualify for, but it would still be nice for those that did.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

disappointed in the lack of weapons... gonna use my points to just sell stuff later on

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

"questionable recipes" yes good

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow...so many awesome cosplays...and lmao @ Sharknado...that was actually really clever, how the items were arranged!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Page 71. Not too too bad. Wish I didn't forget to play games, except there's absolutely no KH stuff in the prize shop this year. :(

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

13.04% rating, page 87 for me. I'll take it :D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

These prizes made me start up a new game of Fallout!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

LOL. I'm on page 131, and got the same vote percent as another 10th Doctor cosplayer. Glad that I didn't do too shabbily, but wish I could have added the Freckle Cream for my final look.

I was also very surprised that there were so many Doctor Who cosplayers. I may have to cosplay as someone more unique next time.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thanks for the event!! It was a lot of fun. :) The top 10 finishers looked great though I only ever saw about two of them. WEIRD! Anyways, the prizes are awesome too. I just wished I had more points to buy more stuff. I only have 2 points left. :(

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Congrats to all the winners and to everyone who entered the cosplay contest. All the avatars are awesome ^_^.

I did my best with the games part of the event and I'm happy with my progress ^_^.
I was hoping we could of seen something with the cash shop Epicon outfits and the pony rides I've heard so much about but have never seen. We all survived the glitches and ended up having a really good time after all. Great job :D.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You have 0 EPICon 2013 points left. well crap... that seriously disappoints. I mean, like seriously!? 0?!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

25% on page 25. :) Yay so happy! Thanks to everyone who voted for me! (I was a bioshock big daddy by the way)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Rating: 15.52%

HAH I KNEW IT! waaay on page 70. Never been good at cosplay. Maybe next year I'll be more creative - or try to be.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm on page 192 LOL I was trying to go for a Loki look but I bombed teehee I wish I could get some of the CW Loki items but they cost far to much for me to afford and I'd love to know the Subeta like Loki wearables?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Unwritten "I was hoping to get the achievements for entering the cosplay contest and getting a certain number of votes (10 I believe?)."

I was hoping so as well. It doesn't say "retired"...I was thinking/hoping we could still get it.

Congrats to all the winners -- even the 5-6 that I never saw =) Thanks for all the prizes -- even if I don't watch the shows or understand all the references, the items are pretty awesome!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

wow i just have to say again i'm so happy that i'm on page 15 out of 223 !!! that's so good!!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hmmm.. I never once saw any of those that won.. I just kept seeing the same ones over and over. Congrats on the winners though.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love all the prizes :D Some I know the tribute to just by looking at them lol I love it ;) But I'd love to know before I spend any points, are there going to be any more prizes added to the prize shop? I just would like to know before I go on a spending spree teehee

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Is there a way to see how the pints were done ? I only missed 10 bonus points and curious to know how I ended up where I did. Please comment me If its posted somewhere :)

I think we need a better vote system. The first three pages of contestants and I didn't even see half and I voted a ton. Saw so many repeats and not to see so many great ones was not cool. Great job everyone! Wish I could say I voted for the winners but never saw them.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I LOVE the Fallout New Vegas, The Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite references!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh my. All the prizes are so amazing! I regret not playing enough games :( But at least I got 200 points, so ill snag a few items I can't live without. I'm more of a wearable hoarder than anything else. Thanks staff!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

What a nice assortment of prizes! I forgot to enter the cosplay contest, but it was fun seeing the wonderful entries.

And I like how it was games this time. It was a great way to say, "Hey guys, look at all the games we have! Here, try 'em out!" Stellar event overall. :)
