Camp Veta 2016: Voting

August 23, 2016 12:02 am

Submissions for Camp Veta 2016 have officially closed and I’ve got to say voting is going to be hard because there are tons of great submissions. I’m so proud of everyone that joined in!

You can vote here. Each camper has 25 votes to use on entries, but can only vote once on any given entry. No putting all 25 votes towards your favorite entry, sorry! There are no limitations on how many you can vote per category, so it’s up to you on how you want to divide your votes.

You have until 11:59pm on August 24th to use your 25 votes.

All prizes will be given out on the 25th. Just a reminder that all participants will receive a participation ribbon that will appear along with your other trophies and medals on your profile along with a forum title of wants s’more. The top three voted people in each category will receive a trophy, a special forum title pitched a tent, and 500 cash shop credits.

The Ha's order is changed every time you refresh the page, so you won't always be at the bottom! ... if that's what you meant :)

August 23, 2016, 10:49 pm by

Goodness gracious, the number of non-CW HAs :o I won't be able to look at all those.

August 23, 2016, 10:39 pm by

all participants will receive a participation ribbon

Was this stated before? i would have tried harder if it was.. :(

August 23, 2016, 10:17 pm by

I was torn between what to do and decided to go with writing because I love it and is far more creative than doing an HA but seems like most people won't even bother reading and I knew that would happen but still it is very sad for all those spend days writing a story just to be ignored. I gave 5 votes to each category since it is the most fair thing to do. I understand many people don't have the time to read all the stories and that they are many but please try at least read a few, there are lots of fun stories there.

Congrats to all participating. Loved all the sculptures and drawings- was very hard to pick just five.

The writing area could be better arranged next time, it's a complete mess to read it and remember what you liked in the first place.

August 23, 2016, 9:31 pm by

I would post about that in the problem and bugs forum.

August 23, 2016, 8:56 pm by

Question: It's telling me I've made 25 votes, but when I count them I only have twenty votes, and since it thinks I made 25 it won't let me cast the last 5. Is anyone else having this issue? (earlier it was even telling me I had 27 when I only had 18 -.-)

August 23, 2016, 8:41 pm by

Was everyone who entered the Human Avatar section put in the Human Avatar section? Sooo many. I didn't know about the sculptures, they were so fun too look through.

4 drawing. 5 Sculptures. 0 writing(Sorry about you writers.) 11 HA. 5 HA-CW

So many great entries, not enough votes.

August 23, 2016, 7:37 pm by

There were so many great entries in every category. :D

August 23, 2016, 6:32 pm by

I'm super curious how many votes the writing section will get in comparison to the other ones...

August 23, 2016, 6:16 pm by

this is the part where I really wish we could have titled our avatar entries xD also just because something is not blatantly camping ish or outdoorsy doesn't mean it's not an adventure, just saying

August 23, 2016, 6:12 pm by

i really like that all the entries for each category are on one page. :D

August 23, 2016, 5:54 pm by

I put 5 votes per category. :) I took the time to scan the writing part as well. Writing to me takes as much work if not more. (Im someone who likes a good story, but sadly doesn't have the skill to write well)

August 23, 2016, 5:53 pm by

Man. Writing is my strong suit, and I had no idea there were going to be so many stories! I expected more HA's than anything. That being said, the CW people seemed to not use that category to their advantage.

Sculpting and drawing have so many amazing entries omg. I have 6 votes left, and I think I'm gonna spend some time in writing and breeze back through the drawings. Writing, drawing, and sculpting, IMO, deserve lots of love.

August 23, 2016, 5:31 pm by

I'm putting most of my votes into the writing category, because it seems like a lot of people aren't bothering to read through them all. It looks like the order of the stories changes every time you refresh the page/switch to a different category and then switch back, so I've just been reading the first 3 or 4 stories each time I load the category. It's really helped me, so maybe that strategy will help others get through more of the stories as well! c: Lots of really talented writers so far, it'd be a shame if they didn't get read!

August 23, 2016, 5:10 pm by

Every time there's a competition without a participation prize, I think it'd be nice to have at least something for folks who don't win.

Then I check the HA entries and find, say, a pink bunny on a stripper pole for 'adventure or camping' and remember why targeting the lowest common denominator of effort isn't always worth it.

August 23, 2016, 4:59 pm by

I am a dunce at coding, but for future contests, is there anyway to have options that include "like, don't like, maybe" or "yes, no, maybe"? And once you've "sorted" them, then you can go back and vote -with them now being in that order starting under the unsorted entries (or, if your like pile is too big, sort down again). It would make it easier for people to vote in pieces, as they get a few minutes as well as to keep track of entries. Random is all well and good, but a bitch when you have a ton of entries...and then trying to find the stories/ha you liked in all that mess. Even worse if you have to read sections over days and then try and remember what was what. ^.^

August 23, 2016, 4:53 pm by

There are some fantastic entries...kudos to those who put in a lot of thought and effort. I know that having merely submitted an HA, my work wasn't 'grueling'...and probably not adventurous enough....but I spent hours upon hours of searching for items and trying many different ideas...I have no doubt that a lot of contest participants did as well....so, Great job to everyone who put thought and effort into whatever you submitted.....GOOD LUCK to all <3

August 23, 2016, 3:37 pm by

This makes me so happy, more creativity contests please!

August 23, 2016, 1:54 pm by

Omg there are so many writing entries! XD I expected there to be a bazillion HAs but I'm just surprised there weren't a whole lot of art and sculpture entries. Maybe I should have done a picture instead of a story after all, haha.

Picking my favorite HAs is gonna be tough, there are so many really good ones! And i wanna just vote for ALL the sculptures, haha!

August 23, 2016, 12:44 pm by

Voted for art, sculpture and HA...haven't got to the stories yet, saving that for last as I'm sure it will take a while. :) Good luck!

August 23, 2016, 12:41 pm by

Good luck to all who entered. It was enjoyable going thru these

August 23, 2016, 12:37 pm by

Is the order of entries rotating, right?

Saved 5 votes to read and vote in Writing tomorrow :)

August 23, 2016, 12:35 pm by

OH LARD THERE ARE SO MANY

tbh I would've hoped that the non-applicable entries would've been filtered out before voting, just to shorten the HA lists a little bit. But, y'know, whatever.

August 23, 2016, 12:28 pm by

Just a little concern, the dispaly layout is very intimidating.

August 23, 2016, 12:27 pm by

That's good on you you wrote a story, takes more time and creative effort to be physical about these contests. I honestly just did an HA that seems basic camp-theme, so I have no expectations. But I really think there should have been an extra prize for those that did the writing, sculpting and drawing, because those take up more time and again labor.

August 23, 2016, 12:25 pm by

very very true lol I had to readjust my story last minute because I went over the character limit by a little bit.

August 23, 2016, 12:24 pm by

Yes I should have said it differently, but I meant those that you could tell put at least some effort into their creations, as opposed to those just entering whatever or their current HA that had nothing to do with any of themes. Anyway

August 23, 2016, 12:19 pm by

I honestly voted for has I want to know the story behind.and lol the theme was adventure not specifically camp so I wrote an adventure story. I voted on 5 for each category, the Elwood riding a cat though made soda shoot from my nose.

August 23, 2016, 12:09 pm by

the story and HA sections are intimidating O__o

everyone in the sculpture section, you guys are superstars!!!!

August 23, 2016, 12:05 pm by

tfw you wrote a story for your entry but it's such a huge wall of text like no one is gonna vote on writing entries

bonus tfw: it's at the near bottom of the page

but oh well. good luck to everyone!

August 23, 2016, 11:33 am by

Unimpressed with a lot of the HA entries - especially the CWs. (though lol now I'm worried people will think mine's not adventure-y enough, it's not a jungle!) there were a few good regular HA entries, and the sculptures were amazing! And the drawings were neat too! I cannot focus long enough to read the writing ones right now. Hopefully I'll get my glasses fixed in time to check them out

August 23, 2016, 11:33 am by

I'm doing my reading of the writing portion on the bus. Good use of 45 minutes.
Sorry BQs, I'll have to sneak you in at work or when I get home.

August 23, 2016, 11:23 am by

AHH, I don't see my entry on the list. Hopefully it wasn't gobbled up. In any case, wow, so many pretty things to vote for! :D

August 23, 2016, 11:19 am by

Anyways most were irrelevant

August 23, 2016, 11:14 am by

I was meaning the ones who clearly just entered their current HA and didn't put effort into it at all, but it could be argued that they weren't actually participating but just wanted the participation prizes. I voted for those that clearly put effort into their entries, I'll clarify I guess :)

August 23, 2016, 11:13 am by

Lol, I thought: "Everyone is going to be doing camping avatars, I'll do an avatar going on an adventure" Looks at avatar list: 500 billion trillion dizillion "adventure" avatars.

August 23, 2016, 10:55 am by

I really enjoyed going through these.

There's a lot of talent to be found amongst Subetans.

I wish all the entrants the best of luck. <3

August 23, 2016, 10:53 am by

Got most of my votes in, and I'm now slogging through the writing entries. I'm determined to vote for at least one.

the original overall brief for all categories was showing an adventure, so not necessarily something specifically about camping/summer camp. The brief for HAs said "Show us your most adventurous human avatar", which is why there's such a variety of scenes.

August 23, 2016, 10:45 am by

I don't think I'll have time to read the writing entries, so I used a lot of my votes on the drawing and sculpture entries. Sorry writers. D:

Some of the entries really made me crack up. I love it! XD

August 23, 2016, 10:22 am by

Wow, there are a lot of entries. And a lot of them are amazing. This shall take some time. XD

August 23, 2016, 10:21 am by

Huh yeah, the randomness is weird. There seems to be 3 set 'randomisations' for each category.

Is it the same for everyone? Sculpture seems to rotate between Laure's adventures, Experiment and Elwood in first place. They're spread out about 1/3rd through the voting so I guess the sequence to set and it just moves between the three orders.

August 23, 2016, 10:16 am by

Did 10 in total, and scrolled past anything that didn't have anything to do with camp or could be considered to do with camp.

August 23, 2016, 9:53 am by

So many lovely entries!!! It was really hard for me to choose! Also I squeed when I saw my HA in the CW category. (And voted for myself... >///>) Can't wait for the participation prizes! <3

August 23, 2016, 9:44 am by

Just went through the HAs entries, that was easier than expected.

August 23, 2016, 9:44 am by

Loads non CW HA entries Holy crap RIP computer.. and a lot of these seem to have nothing to do with Camp? Might just be me. But I can't wait to see what everyone did. And to those that did all the actual physical labor of writing, sculpting & drawing and put how much time into your entries, honestly you're already winners far as I'm concerned because that's a lot of effort. Good luck, everyone.

August 23, 2016, 9:44 am by

It would be nice if the order was completely random, especially with the HAs and the writing. There are so many entries, and if people don't want to scroll all the way down to the bottom...

August 23, 2016, 9:38 am by

I just want to say that in the sculpture and the drawing categories, you ALL did an amazing job and that I wish I could vote for you just for the extra time and effort that went into each one!! And yeah, the writing category is going to take a while to go through. I just hope people don't get too bored and just randomly vote on those. To help those trying to pick through the HA's, I asked myself this question when looking at them: Does this HA make me want to know their story?

August 23, 2016, 9:35 am by

There seem to be a lot of HAs that...well...aren't adventure-related at all. And mine, which is adventure-related, is so near the end of the list, I doubt I'll get seen much. shrug Oh well, hello participation prize at least. :)
