[NoiseHERO]

I don't know what you're talking about I DIDN'T EDIT THIS POST.

[Titan]

Jive Turkey.

The poll has been added, it submits the thread before I can edit the poll. ^^;

[NoiseHERO]

Oh D:

[HiOc]

Jive Turkey, duh.

[Shirai]

Gotta go with that Jive Turkey.

[Gardios]

Oh man, why didn't the Pikachu one make it... Will vote later. D:

.sar for the Emergency Code one:

[HFlowen]

Code avoid made me laugh. But Jive Turkey all the way, I need to find someone with it so I can save it.

[soulpimpwizzurd]

i really like the "idea" behind keep calm lol

if i could vote for more than one i'd vote for
keep calm
emergency code
fooly cooly
jive turkey

[Halcyote]

whoever did harle one would have been my vote

fukken love chrono cross man

[Quatre52]

Theres some awesome ones left off the poll.....why did we not get to vote on all of them again??

[AC9breaker]

The choice is simple

Jive Turkey

[KEV1N]

I like Emergency Code.

[mctastee]

Jive turkey was an obvious choice for me because of the little darkers that look like turkies. When I saw those guys for the first time, that was my initial reaction. That and it has Black Dynamite in it.

[eharima]

Ob Lilly not in vote but lots of really awkward looking ones are... GG op

[Gama]

kill rappies. had a more fun and authentic feel for me.

[Genericdude]

NINTENDO 64 FOH LIFE GOLDENEYE! also jive turkey

[Genericdude]

N64 rulez!

[arusiasotto]

You might want to point out that submitters can't vote for themselves.
Just saiyan.

[Genericdude]

Says who you big palooka!?

[arusiasotto]

I should rephrase that, are we letting submitters vote for themselves? I recommend we don't, buuuut, would like to know before it closes >_>

[Misaki Ki]

Just a heads up, some of the bigger images are probably taken from the editor itself. The final product is actually darker than it is in the editor, so it'll change how a symbol looks and feels a tad if they were designing for the saved product instead of what's in the editor.

And of course, good luck to everyone participating!

[tkk13]

my vote goes to kill rappies. :)

[Jay6]

To be fair, if all submitters voted for themselves, it wouldn't make any difference. Everyone would be up +1. Makes no difference either way.

[Crimera]

Not true. It takes minutes to create a name to vote for yourself.

[CelestialBlade]

Damn, I can't decide between Canti and Barbatos ;_;

Really though, all of these are very good, props to all who submitted.

[EXPFULL]

Fantastic - All amazing!

[Jay6]

I hope that the contest isn't that rigged... ¬_¬

Eh, I guess it's not THAT rigged. Could be worse. Much worse.

[Amaranthus]

The Emergency Code one is well made but I can't help but vote for Evil Monkey.

[youcantcatchtheblue]

I'm surprised Yoko hasn't gotten more votes XD

[BIG OLAF]

Honestly, as soon as I saw "You Jive Turkey", I knew it was going to get a boatload of votes, and probably win 1st place.

I'm also not surprised Rock was the first to vote for it. Oh, you!

[Jay6]

Here's some import files of my symbol art, if anyone wants (extract into import folder):

Yoko (from Gurren Lagann) (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20629928/Yoko.rar)

[Blizz3112]

I personally think Emergency Code is more neutral than the You Jive Turkey Art... I also don't feel like it has anything to do with PSO in general...

[NoiseHERO]

Don't start with the criticism and comparisons... You KNOW it won't end well. D:

Just vote.

[BIG OLAF]

It doesn't have to have anything to do with the game itself. This is a competition for skill and creative ingenuity. They're all good.

[Deviruki]

FLCL.

[Kyuyoko]

JiveTurkey FTW

[arusiasotto]

Well, as promised, a copy of all my original symbolart. Also considering consolidating my cache folder with all the stuff i've come across and uploading it.

http://www.mediafire.com/?zv19p4f3d958i50

[Ryudo]

really great entries, it's hard to pick one but I really love the "8/ aw crap" face on the code avoid one, captured the feeling quite well I thought :P

I updated the first post with all the downloadable links in the "All Submissions" box.
And if anyone else that entered wants to share their symbol art, post here of PM me if you want to remain anonymous.

True, but this is a PSO Forum... and this is my opinion, which can differ from others, see? ;-)

[BIG OLAF]

True, but this is a PSO Forum... and this is my opinion, which can differ from others, see? ;-)

Sure, but the rules of the contest, which in this case overrule the fact that this is a 'PSO forum', never stated that the entries had to pertain to the game. So yes, it's your opinion, but it's a poor, uninformed opinion.

See?

[sugarFO]

I like the Code: Avoid and the Emergency Code, but I voted for Emergency Code.

Why don't you keep that bitching to your self, okay?

[NoiseHERO]

Why don't you keep that bitching to your self, okay?

Already cursing at each other...

And this is why you don't criticize and compare art on the internet.

[Jay6]

Already cursing at each other...

And this is why you don't criticize and compare art on the internet.

I don't think they were criticizing... they were just pointlessly arguing over nothing. And the lack of open-mindedness proves that nobody wins the argument.

Let people vote for what they want to vote for. If they want to vote for something that relates to PSO, that's great. If they want to vote for something different? That's great too.

I'm kinda regretting not making a "Gurren Lagann" or "Kamina" symbol art. Though, I felt Yoko was necessary. I didn't originally make it for a contest anyways; I was just bored. Though, I'm glad that it's not doing too bad in the contest. Thanks everyone. I hope Emergency Code wins; I think it deserves it. :3

[Titan]

Theres some awesome ones left off the poll.....why did we not get to vote on all of them again??

Forum polls only allow up to 12 entries. That number seemed a bit random so I made it 10.



Ob Lilly not in vote but lots of really awkward looking ones are... GG op

If the final decision would have benn 100% my own, the list would have looked different.

[Wayu]

TBH the 10, 9, 6, 7, and 3 are the only ones I found good. ^^;

Voted for the Emergency Code (6) though. The art in that's impressive.

-Wayu

[Titan]

This is a really close race.
48 hours left and the poll is set to automatically stop allowing votes.

[BIG OLAF]

It's actually exciting. 'Emergency Code' and 'You Jive Turkey' have been neck-and-neck the whole time. The suspense!

[GoldenFalcon]

I just want Jive Turkey to win

[Titan]

This poll is automatically set to close in one hour and 50 minutes from this post.
I will send out the reward of
1st place 3000 Webmoney
2nd place 2000 Webmoney
3rd place 1000 Webmoney

First I will send out a PM to make sure you still exist and to congratulate you, and once you respond I will send out the PIN # at my earliest convenience.

[arusiasotto]

Almost over~~

edit: correction, over 2 minutes ago

[arusiasotto]

Congratz Jive Turkey, the rest of us stood a snowballs chance in a microwave.

[jmanx]

^ Thanks GGs

Thanks to all them jive turkeys who voted

I certainly still exist

[Titan]

After closely observing individual votes among the top 4, I've eliminated any accounts that were created during the duration of this voting (accounts created between July 26th and today, 99% of those accounts have 0 post). I don't mean to discourage new people to this forum, but I'm not here to get to know everyone, I'm only ruling out any assumptions that could be made.

If you wish to dispute my claims, I have a long list of accounts that I will only display through PM or you can go through the names one by one yourself.

Gardios (1st place)
Emergency Code: 37 - 1 = 36

jmanx (2nd place)
Jive Turkey: 42 - 7 = 35

Misaki Ki (3rd place)
Code Avoid: 27 - 2 = 25

arusiasotto (honorable mention)
Fooly Cooly: 28 - 8 = 20

[arusiasotto]

I would have preffered you put it in the OP before I rallied my guild to get off their asses, but oh well, 'tis how the cookie crumbles. Grats to the winners.

Edit: Additionally, can the guy who made "Mysterious" post the .sar? I personally liked that one more than my own, but voting for someone else seemed redundant.

Should I just point out that if Jmanx voted for himself(he didn't even vote) like Gardios did, they'd be tied?

[arusiasotto]

Dude, that looks like Edermask from Magician, right on!

[catwat]

you are shit jman won

you dont make rules after its over facepalm

[BIG OLAF]

you are shit jman won

Actually, that rule was in place when this thread was first posted. So, yeah.

[jmanx]

you were allow to vote for yourself? Even if I could I would feel dirty lol

[catwat]

I WANT TO SEE THE 7 ACCOUNTS THAT WERE SUSPECT FOR JMAN TO VOTE FOR HIMSELF

[Resanoca]

I WANT TO SEE THE 7 ACCOUNTS THAT WERE SUSPECT FOR JMAN TO VOTE FOR HIMSELFThey're in the voting poll. Which I went and looked myself. There were 7 accounts made starting on the 26th - 1st that either had nothing or at most, three posts.

[BIG OLAF]

I WANT TO SEE THE 7 ACCOUNTS THAT WERE SUSPECT FOR JMAN TO VOTE FOR HIMSELF

No one ever said it was Jman. It could have been anyone. Could have been me, you, Raptor Jesus. It doesn't matter. The rule stated that any account created after the voting went underway was not to be counted. It's very easy.

dude whats your reason to allways quote me and give me your wise nose talk about anything that comes to your sigh? i dont need that you know

f** annoying honestly

[gigawuts]

but

it's true

don't hate the messenger

also I like pretty much all the entries so I didn't vote, or rather you all got my vote

[BIG OLAF]

dude whats your reason to allways quote me and give me your wise nose talk about anything that comes to your sigh? i dont need that you know

f** annoying honestly

Almost as annoying as you demanding Jman won, even though he didn't as per the rules of the contest, and calling the host(s) of the contest "shit", and demand to see the accounts that were created after the end date. Yes, good going. You're a smart one, I can tell, what with just making yourself look like a jackass and all.

[arusiasotto]

I'll point out, there weren't any rules stated. I even asked for clarifaction before voting for myself after i saw someone else do it. I just assumed a warm body rule and then began dropping quite unsubtle hints about me wanting to win a contest to my guild on Ship 10. Thanks you guys for voting btw. However, this is not some official contest. Quite the opposite, says right in the title it is unofficial, everything is up to the OP.

So, TLDR
Winners won, God save the Queen, where the hell is my donut.

[Titan]

Should I just point out that if Jmanx voted for himself(he didn't even vote) like Gardios did, they'd be tied?

Well, if I had to be a tie breaker between the two I'd choose Emergency code, its useful in game and well made. Jive Turkey just makes me laugh.


you are shit jman won

you dont make rules after its over facepalm

Its been a rule debated on since day 1, eventually something had to be done.

man not all. this host of the contest saying to clear out all multiple accounts just out of assumptions is doing the most assumptions of himself. saying all accounts created in that date are multi accounts to vote only for him. instead of that why not look up the IP adress added to the account creation the be sure for once. and on top of that i saw the accounts created and 3 of them were team members from our team and the rest i dont know. also my account is too pretty new and i know jman for 3 years now so if i created the account just for this forum a month later i would be disqualified aswell do you get me now?

[iTz PooKiie xx]

Can I change my vote? LolH

Chill man. It's $10. Nothing to go murdering the Queen's English over. If he had to check IP addresses, he'd have to get one of the forum admins to do it. It's simpler to kill them all and let Bob sort them out.

[jmanx]

Ok I will accept 2nd Prize but honestly you should have put that up on the 1st page of this topic in nice bold big letters. Because I'm over here thinking Im in 1st but then trolololo

So apparently voting for your self was allowed but I couldn't do it anyways even if I was allowed I will feel dirty lol and that is why I didn't vote on my own

Do you realize how many people join this forum a day and not post shoulda pointed this out in the THIS TOPIC not the one thats 15 pages behind SCARE THE NEWBIES away
http://www.pso-world.com/forums/memberlist.php?order=desc&sort=joindate&pp=30&page=1

[Arika]

It doesn't matter with whatever anyone said.

It is common that that host create rule and make the decision what to do in his very own event that he offer prize by himself. He can even put the rule to only allow users who has registered account longer than a year can vote if he like to.

A lot of rl service offer better thing to older members anyway. Nothing wrong.

[Gardios]

This barely feels like a win at all with the discussion going on here. Still had a lot of fun with the contest, even though I started to sweat finishing it in time and cursed at the symbol art editor more often than I'd like to admit. ^^;

[arusiasotto]

OMG the editor is so terrible, isn't it? Another 2 levels of zoom would help, but i was also getting odd proportion stretching if you turned it.

[Jay6]

I keep seeing random suspicions that he voted for himself on multiple accounts, but I see nowhere that other submitters did the same. Take my entry, for instance. I asked a few friends of mine to vote for me, and a few were turned down due to the fact that an account needed to be made, but a few made one anyways and voted. They don't have any posts on the forum itself.
But hell, if you're popular enough, you can have an entire army vote for you. Good work on the one that won. I had fun making the symbol art, and will make more sooner or later.

[arusiasotto]

I had like, 8 people go make accounts, out of like 20 people. Out of pure awesomeness. I didn't bother telling them that I wasted their time. How else will I get them to do other stuff later, Mwahahahahahahahaha

Never disillusion your minions.
