Epicontest: Voting has begun!



[user=Titania McGee] has begun reporting on the judging of the EPICon Cosplay Contest! You'd better head over and start voting.

If you've entered, at the end of the contest all the votes that you get will be added to your EPICon war team!

Thanks blaGue for explaining a little better! That's a great way of doing it, really. I voted right on the half hour so hopefully I can just remember to pop on around :30 each hour and keep voting! Fun!

I like the system as well, I just wish we could look at all the entries between the voting period. =(

Apparently it is random. I love it.

Doh, I get it now. Explanation in case anyone is slow like me: The set of entries each person sees is different. The timer for each person is also different (basically, you set your own timer based on when you vote. The entries refresh when your timer expires). Thus, the times the entries are displayed don't matter since it's (I assume) random and different for each person. Yeah, if you're unlucky and only 100 people vote at 3 am in the morning and yours in that set of (well now I don't know how many are displayed each time, like 20?) 2000, then that's that, but you aren't assigned to a specific time slot.

If you get on more, you get to see more rounds and vote more. If you only get on twice, you only get to see two "rounds".

Now I feel like a dipshit for waiting to perfect my costume. I forgot to submit it last night because I had to sleep early for work and now I completely missed out! How flippin lovely.

If the selection is random then I'm in love with the system. An allert would be awesome though.

I wish there were alerts for this. I'm actually using an egg timer right now so I know when I can vote again.

Nope, No tinkerbell on my screen. I did have an Ursula (Little Mermaid) and Lilu (Fifth Element) on my page.

I got a repeat entry in my second round, same dude that was in the first round, exact same ref pic and everything. That's an awfully big coincidence.

I think its random characters that each person is seeing. Meaning, any avatar could show up at anytime and be voted on.

I'm pretty positive the time limit is individual for each person o:

"I'm not sure if I care for the setup. Any entries put up in the wee hours are naturally going to get less votes. That doesn't seem fair"

I sort of agree :

If I am sufficiently unimpressed by the choices I am given that I don't want to vote for any, do they still refresh after an hour?

Oooh, Round 2 was great. I LOVED the Fifth Element cosplay of Lilu. Beautiful!

Has anyone been able to figure out if we're all seeing the same set at the same time, or if it's random? A few people pointed out it might be less fair to users who get shown at certain times, but if it's random/different for everyone, then I do like this system

I'm glad some of these have refs because I don't know who a lot of these are supposed to be...

That was a hard choice to pick just one. I had two that were really well done.

However, I'm glad I included a reference pic even though it is in black and white lol I don't even think there is any official artwork in color for the armor of the character I'm cosplaying.

I hope we also get personal points for the voting, given not everyone is good at RS.

Is the selection fixed for each hour, or random for every user? Just curious.

I like the system.

Aw, it's sad you can't go back and look at the entries again after voting. Also, it looks like the counter counts down from 1 hr from when you voted. I hope/it would be nice if the timer just resets every time the entries reset. If I vote in the latter half of the hour I don't really want to be tied to voting in the latter half of the hour from then on...

Glad they're going to rotate/there aren't names/etc.

Keith, would it be possible if there was somewhere to show us how many votes our avs have so far? :3 Odd request, but it's just that I'd like to know when to stop restocking because I want to end on an even number (2500). I'd be so sad if I had 2498 points and four votes. XD

Unless, the points are added to the /team/, and not us (which would then go to the team)?

Ok, so is it limited to who you can vote for every hour? 8O Like, ever hour does it switch contestants?

I was wondering how the reference image would work. I'm glad I included one, cause the ones that didn't have them I really had no clue who they were.
