Please don’t make accusations without facts. For the record:
-
Misfit Toys is wildly blessed with a number of mods (some only joined in the recent months), as well as the talented Novo of Calendar fame.
-
To my knowledge, none of the mods participated in selecting art for this contest. I know I didn’t, and others have chimed in above as well, confirming they didn’t either.
I see lots of art I want to vote for! Please vote your favorites!
Agreed, but in @Disposable’s defense, the OP did say mods.
But through conversation, we have confirmed no mods were judges. (Not just me being left out ).
All good.
Now how bout those nice pictures?
I know who I voted for.
Well, the stupid thing here is that I knew I’d be opening a can of worms and did it anyway… sorry for that.
Thank you littleKAF, that’s really the crux of why I said what I did: I was operating off of the information available.
I’ve apologized twice. Next time maybe tell the devs not to claim that you sit on the selection committee, if nothing else it can invite misunderstandings like this.
I like you all, and do want to believe the best in people, so forgive me for connecting dots that weren’t real.
Mostly I want apologize to Novo, you don’t deserve to get dragged into this by association.
At the risk of derailing the spirit of this contest, I’m deleting my earlier posts. Maybe just delete this whole conversation, it’s kind of taken over, unfortunately.
Good luck to everyone nominated.
I’ll add fuel to the fire. Sorry, I’d like to hear @Petri’s response. It seems that the finalists were not chosen at all, but took and put to the vote the first thing they looked at. Some images are not related to the subject of the “ad” contest at all. For example, among the hand-drawn drawings there is a sketch of a dragon, and you look, friends, a branch of representations! How many really interesting works were presented, beautifully drawn and having an idea. In General, I am very sad. I understand perfectly well that everyone has different ideas about what is beautiful and interesting, and what is ugly and uninteresting. But not that much!
Here is just one example to compare the work of a finalist and the work that was not accepted to the final. And there are many such examples.
work in the final
and this work did not pass the competitive selection
The jury has already made their choice. Maybe it’s enough to insult every second art? Each participant of the competition put their forces into the creation of art, as much as he could. I think it’s unpleasant for them to read all this. It’s graceless. There were really a lot of arts, it’s impossible to select all of them. Also, everyone has different tastes. If something doesn’t suit someone in choosing of a jury - create your own contest. Thnx.
Good luck to all participants! I made my choice
Totally agree with you @ArktikaTF
Anyway, great job everyone! Can’t wait to see the digital video finalists!
Unfortunately, we have to halt the voting temporarily, while we are investigating the entries. It has been brought to our attention that some entries are not compliant with the contest rules. My sincerest apologies for this! We’ll replace these submissions and restart the voting later today.
A post was merged into an existing topic: #PlayApartTogether Fan Art Contest: Finalists for Digital (static) & Handdrawn Categories [Voting Open Now!] [Updated]
I don’t understand. Voting doesn’t work and there are same arts in both categories
Я вот совсем не понимаю чем отличаются картинки в категориях??
Они одинаковые
We need to create a “This is why we can’t have nice things” thread.
Recommend closing this thread and linking to a new one with proper voting. You may have some who won’t revisit this thread, especially with some of the negativity in it.
Thanks for clarification. Besides potential missed copywrite problems the assumption of a recruitment part needed was the biggest issue. It is clearly missing in the rules that a recruitment part is needed to participate. But with the theme of the contest it wasn’t a to far stretched assumption that it at least has any influence.
Thanks, I’ll do that, I don’t know what happened with the polls, I double-checked them before posting. Must be a technical error, my apologies!
Here’s the new topic now with the correct polls:
I’ll close this topic.
