Re: Halloween Avatar Contest
Roco, I must ask, would you rather remain with the avatar you signed up with or switch to that avatar?
Re: Halloween Avatar Contest

Re: Halloween Avatar Contest
The first post does say to repost if you wish to change.
In any case, the winner will be announced tomorrow. You have right up until then to change your avvie as much as you like.

The Winner is Announced
The Winner is Announced.
But, that would be all too simple. Instead, I find it more suspenseful to explain my process of judging.
Roco's First Avvie was originally the winner, hands down. However, he changed his avatar, removing this one from the field. Had he not done this, he would've won. Not to say that he didn't. Just to say that this avatar was my favorite out of the four seen.
Fman's Avvie exceeds the dimensions of the userbox, which I find distasteful. Were it not for this, it too may have won.
Which left Jairo's and Roco's Second. Neither are quite what I was looking for, or what I expected to see in the contest. But of course, as judge you cannot pick and choose what enters your contest. So the question of exoticity-- (Another privilege as judge is that you get to make up words)-- remains. Roco's is of course the Punkin King, the Halloween character of Spiral Knights that I have grown to dislike. I have absolutely no idea what Jairo's is. It looks like a dog with a parrot in front of a mansion with a picture of an oil well on top. I like to see new things.
That said, I find it appropriate to rule in Jairo's favor. On top of the, yes, exoticity of his avvie, I find it very sportsmanlike that he would enter with no certain prize defined. Admittedly when the contest began I never expected to decide this way, but that's part of being judge. You can't predetermine the winner. Nor can you let yourself become biased.
Thank you everyone for participating. Jairo will receive a special badge and some sort of prize for something. Unless he wants the bomb despite his indifference towards Spiral Knights, we'll coordinate the new prize via PM and announce here the result.
Happy Halloween.

Re: Halloween Avatar Contest
Lame, a bomb is a cheap prize. On top of that, you claim not to be bias on it, yet because of your dislike of the Punkin King you ruled me out. Which, in itself, is exceptionally biased. Kind of a funny contradiction there.

Re: Halloween Avatar Contest
I didn't say that was the reason I ruled you out. I said I ruled you out because it was too generic, too..."seen," if you will.
Re: Halloween Avatar Contest
yeah. i find it stupid that ptep rules us out, for the reason roco said. and also, when he made me an avvie, it was farther out than my current pic is. and he said it was fine. pteps bein stupid. and my avvie has been seen by more people than rocos has

Re: Halloween Avatar Contest
Whine as you might, I see no reason either to defend my ruling or overturn it. All I can offer you is better luck next time.

Re: Halloween Avatar Contest
He only did it because he doesn't actually want to give out a prize, it's called being cheap
