EDIT: I think I fixed it up. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Actually no. I've removed the temptation to vote for your own entry by not allowing voting for your own entry (by the way: mathematically, the result is same).
So just place N/A next to your entry/entries.

I fixed up Graxster's links, so you still need to vote on his entries.
By the way, that applies to everyone who placed N/A next to his entries.
Sorry about that, I didnt notice


Currently, I am not allowing for entries to share the same position (due to small number of votes), so you'll need to change all the duplicates too.

Thanks.

Yay! I was the runner up for the sector screenie :D (I was right :?: or did I just make an imbarasing mistake. I have a tendancy to do that you know :wink: ) I must admit Skylon's screen was a lot better though. I don't think we should allow mods to be part of the screenshots personaly.

Anyways. When's the next comp?

These are your scores then: 6 0 7 4 5 7 6 2
(if you noticed I count vote for your own as 0)

modded games?

if enough people feel that way, the modded game can be its own category

right after I get comments about categories/contest. What to add/remove/keep.

Hmm, was wondering about that, seems a bit harsh, but with XFP4
just released there could be many more good 'X3 ship' shots coming?
And Syklon has demonstrated very well that XTM sector/ship can
look better than the vanilla (most of the time).

On balance I would vote yes, but there's already a thinnish coverage
of categories, so maybe not .... dither dither.

I'll definately enter in X2 ships next time, I kept forgetting one I posted
on STOW a while back.

Also I was thinking an animations category, trouble is with biggish downloads ?

Perhaps we should have a running 'Contests Score' (over #1,2,3)
ie Syklon has won n times, jlehtone m times, or would that put new entrees off.
