:o Holy shnikes I made it to the final Oh ho ho hooo well isn't this something it truly is as for voting its pretty freaking hard I mean they are all amazing in their own way. Thanks Rock :3 and good luck to the finalists!

Julliz: The awesomeness is strong in this one

Ilain: xD Walking talking emergency flare :< but in all seriousness this is a prime example why CAST women are Bester than the best women (Beasts)

Xpkun: D: Okay okay just let me take a picture of you then you can be on your way

Zorafim: A very simple yet pretty shot and shows Levia plotting to get her vengeance with landwalkers always making "Im going to cook you" jokes Seriously IF Levia is able to talk to aquatic life I this is our greatest fear (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yafQueBtJj8/UHvbAtvLi1I/AAAAAAAACq4/rTBY7zmkhKM/s1600/aquaman-meme-im-useless-they-said.jpg) and Seriously be nicer to fish people (http://i.qkme.me/3ps21b.jpg) >_<

As one sided as this contest is Juliz is killing everyone smells like favoritism I dunno but oh well good luck to all.

I think the Laine's picture looks awesome, but I don't know, different strokes for different folks.

The combination of darkness with the yellow particles and the yellow glowing parts on the character...just looks cool.

To be honest, I was expecting way more awesome than what I'm seeing here...
That said, I'm voting for the first because I like action shots.

The first one is a cool action shot, but the last one has some really nice composition - good use of rule of thirds! The environment also matches the character concept.

Julliz's shot was really nice. I really love the face expression, It gives off that boss battle feels :U

Ilain's shot was pretty dark, but that's the point lol. the glow on her armor was nice and I really like the glow coming from her eyes.

Victasticvin's shot was ok. but I feel like I've seen that kind of picture over 100 times.

I feel the same about XPKun's shot too. the two cast with the city BG gives off a nice futuristic city vibe tho.

Zorafim's shot is the best imo. my only complaint is that there's too much water. all that water and no fish. needs more JAWS.

Only 27 people? What happened to events with 50+ entries? ;o

Anyway voted for Zora~ Good luck to ya all, go beat Julliz :D

Zorafim
Jun 12, 2013, 02:12 AM
Huh? I actually got in to the top five? This is the first time this has happened. Well, throw your pictures in enough events, and I suppose something like that is bound to happen. Still, this is pretty shocking. And to be in second place? I know that's highly subjective to change, but it's still quite an honor.
I'm ashamed to say that I voted for myself. But, what can I say? I honestly like my picture most.

I think it's neat that one of our top five includes a picture with less than stellar graphics. I always hear complaints that these events are bias against people with old computers. This kind of shows that that's not necessarily the case.


I knew I shouldn't had bothered. Anyway good luck.

I say this every event I enter. If you enter expecting to win, you're going to lose. The point of these events is to further enjoy the game. Use that as your motivation, and your material will end up better.


Zorafim: A very simple yet pretty shot and shows Levia plotting to get her vengeance with landwalkers always making "Im going to cook you" jokes Seriously IF Levia is able to talk to aquatic life I this is our greatest fear (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yafQueBtJj8/UHvbAtvLi1I/AAAAAAAACq4/rTBY7zmkhKM/s1600/aquaman-meme-im-useless-they-said.jpg) and Seriously be nicer to fish people (http://i.qkme.me/3ps21b.jpg) >_<

Levia's not one to hold a grudge. If vengeance creates enough good to be worthwhile, then she will take revenge. But she knows when it's not needed. (http://youtu.be/XZ-68LvoY4k?t=55s)
Regardless, you'll be glad to know she can't control sea life. She can't call the terrors of the deep to deal with her payback. Or control them when they decide to go on a rampage. (http://youtu.be/i-5EFsjSSeE?t=5s)


I'm amaze by 1st photo I have vote that meant for Picture Perfect Shot. For the other 4 is just plain/ordinary pictures that include mine picture that have submit which later appear in this post

I think that there are is be thought though is there and was.
...
I'm sorry, what did you say?


The first one is a cool action shot, but the last one has some really nice composition - good use of rule of thirds! The environment also matches the character concept.

Yes, of course. I always make sure to submit nothing but the best when I enter these. So of course I made sure to off-center every little detail.
...
*googles rule of thirds*


Zorafim's shot is the best imo. my only complaint is that there's too much water. all that water and no fish. needs more JAWS.

I would have thought Levia was more than enough fish for all that water.

On an artistic stand point, Juliz and Zora's have the greatest composition. Which I would consider to be a very important aspect for a screenshot contest.

whoa-whoa-whoa... o_o

What happened here?

Well as long as the judges aren't being blamed not fully my problem. I'ma just put this on PSO-Worldstar Hiphop. 8D

The judges just choose which entries they think is the best.. so obviously it's the community that picks whose the best. If people only glance at the entries and just pick the shiniest one at first sight. Or one of the contestants has a lot of friends...

Hmm...

THEN GET ALL YOUR FRIENDS TO HELP TOO!! NO TURNING BACK FROM HERE CAN'T BEAT EM, JOIN EM!! : D

To be honest this is why I stopped entering contests myself though, In this particular one I just wanted to be sure that everyone in the poll deserved to win. The rest is up to you guys!

Anyway, I was stating my opinion. Nothing towards you but I have the most difficult time reading your posts. Additionally, based off of the votes on the first day and the number of people that voted, put in context with the amount of votes since the first day, it seems like it was over before it started.

lol look, i don't get why you have to insult me for whatever reason. i have nothing against you. good job on winning the contest by the way, the sig looks great. it's just a shame people can't enjoy a contest set up so that people can have fun. it's not always about winning you know. i sent my screenshot in because i enjoy the game and it's fun to try and take cool looking pictures. and like i said, i never showed anyone or asked for any votes. whoever voted for me thought my screenshot looked good.


and the thread didn't have that many pages to begin with, i didn't really have to go through much.

I never insulted you I never said "Fuck Juliz he's a creep he pisses me off!" or any of the sort I just checked my post and I don't see anything worthy of an insult for you.

Nah I don't have a lick of malice towards you guy,but for those who may they need to understand in what I posted that these could be the many causes and if they can't beat em join em like Rock said. I mean come on when AC is on the line who wouldn't throw a low blow?

This is FFA=Free For All nothing wrong with Kill Stealing to get to the top all fair play there is no morals those who make morals set themselves back and only have themselves to blame.

Honestly, even with the rules and intentions of having lower end PC's making it to the finals, people do make it clear that they focus on the detail and graphical quality rather than the content, or in this case the picture.

TenebriS
Jun 21, 2013, 03:56 AM
I for my part think Vintasticvin did a great job, I do like her picture but will say more about it as soon as it's over.
I don't force myself to be positive about anything, and 1 vote is at least 1 vote more than people that didn't even get into the poll. The judges did decide on it and took her for a good entry and being part of a contest is already an accomplishment in my eyes. Right now you are trying to much see the negative about things, but if you be realistic you would see that she at least had a chance compared to others.

And about her not getting so many votes, it’s a public poll so you can go ahead and give the one who you think did a great work your voice. Or you can give it your friend, which is technically not really the purpose of the poll. I can't control who gets how much votes and I won't say that anyone asked their friends to do so, it just happens that one pictures is just that much better.


I made this contest together with Rock as a community contest, where the community participates for fun and then the community can decide on who they think did best. Sure people will be competitive and some try to be negative, but this is meant to be fun and to be for the community and people should enjoy it more.


If you think there is a fairer way to handle everything you can always tell me in a PM how you think it should be handled, I'm happy to hear some constructive critic and getting new ideas.

PS: what if the 1 vote is of someone thinking she did good? Ever thought of that? She could have asked her friends at the RP group to vote for her but she instead decided to be fair about it.
As said, if you have any ideas how to solve or prevetn this to happen, tell me anytime, but please stop it for now because the only one making her feel bad are you right now!

Jun 21, 2013, 03:58 AM
Oh no, don't get me wrong, I never thought it was a bad shot. Rather, I was surprised that, near the end, people focused more on the visual effects rather than the shot and was expecting it to even out.

But as Gardios already said, there's only one vote to spend.
I voted for Julliz because I think that picture was really awesome. But if I'd be able to vote more my ranking would be like:

1. Julliz, 2. Vintasticvin, 3. XPKun, 4. Lain, 5. Zorafim

Wan't me to be realistic? Okay.

The Truth
You made this thread titled PERFECT SHOT nothing more nothing less even including vita pics to be fair which was nice smooth move on your part. She even made it in which is good sense this is a proven fact that the judges are not bias and picky as some say, im also including she was the only one to actually put in a Vita pic everyone else's were...yeah you get the point. I am not being negative at all. but rather pointing out how things are truly decided and how it ran its course as I already explained. You just as well as I do how these turn out, but you don't wanna acknowledge that and hide it behind passive comment.



And about her not getting so many votes, it’s a public poll so you can go ahead and give the one who you think did a great work your voice. Or you can give it your friend, which is technically not really the purpose of the poll. I can't control who gets how much votes and I won't say that anyone asked their friends to do so, it just happens that one pictures is just that much better.


As blace and I said can pretty much tell that ppl overlooked the picture itself and went for quality.



I made this contest together with Rock as a community contest, where the community participates for fun and then the community can decide on who they think did best. Sure people will be competitive and some try to be negative, but this is meant to be fun and to be for the community and people should enjoy it more.


You made it for fun, but once you throw AC in there it's not really about fun anymore in a sense. I have seen the contest Vin entered and with her vita pics and she didn't win in any of those either. What im saying is while it may be fun for you, the fun for them is when they have gotten what they truly wanted, people didn't put these pics in here to have fun they did it for the AC there is no arguing that, as that was the true purpose of this thread. You can have fun all ya want.but in a true sense it is not fun losing out on something that could really help you and when you repeatedly lose you lose motivation and you lose faith. There is a reason why there weren't to many participants you know as well as I do as to why.



If you think there is a fairer way to handle everything you can always tell me in a PM how you think it should be handled, I'm happy to hear some constructive critic and getting new ideas.

PS: what if the 1 vote is of someone thinking she did good? Ever thought of that? She could have asked her friends at the RP group to vote for her but she instead decided to be fair about it.
As said, if you have any ideas how to solve or prevent this to happen, tell me anytime, but please stop it for now because the only one making her feel bad are you right now!

That's the problem sending pm's in order to get things fixed and mellowed out everything has to be done in secret we can't openly discuss things in order to get down to an agreement in order to improve things. But yeah honestly this was a dog leg and my heart goes out to Vin I really thought the votes would go evenly, but I fooled myself and it played exactly as I knew it would.

I think a good way of handling votes would be like in Gama's Cast contest, instead of a poll people write down the top 3 pictures they prefer (though with a poll it's easier to keep track of things). ^^;


How long this Poll running by the way?
It says above the poll, until sunday (June 23).

Personally I can't wait to see all the other entries. :3

If you can rank your top 3 (1st getting 3 points, 3rd 1 point) that would be ideal imo.

Nobody stops you from puttign it here, but this is a contest htread for this contest so I jsut don't think its teh right place. I could create a new thread where everybody can post their ideas openly so everyone can see and we get community feedback. How about that, good enough?



You made it for fun, but once you throw AC in there it's not really about fun anymore in a sense.

That’s not entirely true, it's like saying people don't play online games for fun because there is competition to be better than someone else. Some have fun with it and others don't. It's the same for a contest.

So would you prefer me doing contests where you actually can't win anything?



I think a good way of handling votes would be like in Gama's Cast contest, instead of a poll people write down the top 3 pictures they prefer (though with a poll it's easier to keep track of things). ^^;

As you said yourself, it's harder to keep track of things that way but if it would be the only thing that makes people happy I guess I could do it. As I offered already there is also the possibility of multiple votes where you can give each person 1 point.

I don't think these are horrible ideas...

But how far are they from picking your top few, or having the option of giving out pity votes... which wouldn't drastically change winners, it would just make numbers for the common favorites bigger. >_>;

At the end of the day, it's up to you on who deserves a vote, or who needs one, or whose just voting for a friend.

Ironically I chose a top 5... decress the possibility of the scenario being.

"Alright we have a top 10... but what's the point of it being a top 10 if only 4 people are getting votes, so it's actually just really awkward for the other half of people who aren't getting votes at all"

Also because we didn't get a lot of entries AT ALL. So if you aren't impressed I hope that doesn't imply you could do better if you didn't enter. Just in case anyone thinks like that.

But otherwise... I don't think... multiple votes could hurt either. But there's no perfect way to go about things. Even if you took out voting all together and made it all the judges votes. You risk the community not being happy. But if you let the community vote, there's a higher chance of bias or thoughtless votes...

Basically you're all terrible people no matter what happens, and all we can do is hope the people that DID win deserved the prizes. : D

Not trying to sound like a downer, but only one of the finalists has a single vote.
AH don't worry about Blace ^_^ I'm just happy that my picture is in the finals with such wonderful pictures

Welp as I already said I already know where half the votes came form and anything AC related is bound to end with a favoritism slam fest. I dunno whether to feel like that 1 vote on her was a sympathy vote or just troll... poor girl.
I'm sure someone out there liked but hey a vote is better than no vote at all ~_^

thanks for this construcitve comment, from now on all my polls will allow multiple votes. It's to late for this contest but I will put it in my future ones.
D: Keep things the same as they always been! Its for the sake of honor and honesty! Plus its always fun to torment people with having to choose JUST ONE picture only. Huh they're making me feel bad o_O Im too excited knowing I made it to the finals to be feeling insulted or upset with my picture's performance and no worries I'm sure they had noticed I only got one vote and were concerned of having sympathy for me which is cool and all.

I think Vintasticvin made a good picture here.
But as Gardios already said, there's only one vote to spend.
I voted for Julliz because I think that picture was really awesome. But if I'd be able to vote more my ranking would be like:

1. Julliz, 2. Vintasticvin, 3. XPKun, 4. Lain, 5. Zorafim
D'aww thanks a bunch for the nice comment ~=[,,_,,]:3

I feel kind of dumb for not noticing that Vin's is a VITA screenshot. My PC version looks like that... =_=

X_X This was taken on a pc playing pso on 1 with no shaders and Vita's graphics aren't that bad also I'm working on a movement for Vita and low resolution pc players to post their screenies with pride and not feel undersized by those with killer graphics <3

Keeeeep voting people pick the one you like! :D

Why do you think I said "In a sense". Also this is not an online game this is an online community what we do and type here hold more weight than a game where we have no access to other than what? Game Feedback ...as in survey. Comparing it to an online game is bad comparison as an online you know what to expect and if it's online pvp you don't win Paid money currency such as AC which isn't free in PSO2 you would pvp points exp in game money being the currency to buy better pvp armor or whatnot. My claim still stands on that no way is it the same as a contest. Also when did I ever say Prefer? I only outlined on how it went its course. You can do how ever contest ya wan't but if it's not gonna give the new comers or old player a chance because ermahgawd Favoritism, Spread the Word, Graphics or w/e the case may be then just leads to disappointment as others mention a few pages back.

Gotta love how each event topic like this turns out in the same drama over and over again where people just complain.

Can't ya'll just shut up and appreciate the time and money people are willing to spend to give everyone something fun to do instead of moaning and bashing it down every single time you can?
