On 7/2/14, we will close this thread off, and allow you, the community, to vote for your favorite Top 15. From there, we the staff will choose the top 5.

Wow that's ridiculous. But fortunately, this won't happen to us, since the final 5 winners will be decided by the staff, out of 15 people who will be chosen by the community.

I'm cheating or ruining the contest because I addressed an issue that I foresee being a problem in the contest? You obviously didn't sense my sarcasm or understand my point. If I really wanted to "cheat," I would have already posted a screenshot by now. (Check my 2 forum postings, if you really care that much). I don't even plan on participating in this contest.

Let's be clear: my statement with, "if it's allowed.." was a sarcastic remark I made to reflect someone's thought if they were to circumvent the rules of the contest, NOT my actions. Do I think pack fashion will automatically win? Not one bit. I wouldn't even vote for someone with pack fashion, unless they mixed pieces incredibly well. There's no sense for me bringing up a possible problem I had with the contest rules on the forums, and then make a statement afterwards to do said problem.

Anyways, I agree that it would be a hassle to find a person's fashion you like and take a screenshot of it. However, the rules never indicated you needed a pose in the screenshot. With the amounts of people that afk in a city or elsewhere, it's not hard to take a quick screenie of someone just standing there. Photoshop seems like more of a hassle than finding afk people, unless you're pro at editing. Though I don't think 10 gold is worth the time or effort in editing said abuser's name above someone else's character. On the otherhand, taking a screenshot of a random person without needing proof of the character's identity takes seconds.

Employees with the happy-go-lucky attitude about freebies is why PWI is infamous for you know what. I'm not against this contest in any way or trying to abuse it. I'm just trying to bring up issues I believe could be manipulated in a greedy person's favor. Looking through the screenshots, a lot of people do have their character's names above their head anyways. I know this rule probably won't be enforced, but I just wanted this contest to run flawlessly and not be cheated.

On topic: Good luck to all the contenders! b:cute

They can still buy their way into the top 15 and get 1/3rd chance on the rewards. It would be up to the staff to figure out who of them spammed Worldchat on their server with buying votes, and I somehow doubt PWI would go to such lengths for a fashion contest

World chatting doesn't mean necessary buying votes it's call PR, if someone is the only one of his server getting in the top 15 then I see nothing wrong if the person world chat encouraging people from his server to vote his/her character. I'm pretty sure anyone in the top 15 will ask friends/faction to go vote for them it's just how it is.

Also if someone need to buy votes then I feel sorry for that person and it will be easy to see.

I suggest to the GM to make the voting public to be sure some people do not use multiple accounts to vote for themselves or someone.
