Congrats to all the winners and thank you everyone for some wonderful entries

Quote:when the contest first started as part of my effort to get the word out I sent pm's to both Warwitch and Jlove asking them to pop on by to look over the entries (also because a red name post attracts viewers :P )Just curious, has anyone directed the devs' attention to this thread? Would be interesting to get their opinions on the great costume work done here.
Im sure they get tons of forum pm's -
Quote:On my end I consider it money well spent considering the quality of entries as well as the amountBut would you throw that much money around to throw the contest, or would you horde it?
don't get me wrong I horde as much as the next person but in this case it seemed like a pretty cool idea that would get the Virtue locals to interact a bit and get folks to unlurk or visit the forum that might normally never post or visit .

Forwarded my votes to Fury , lots of hard choices to make !
Good luck to everyone that entered ! -
Honestly I wouldn't worry about it myself but the OP seemed concerned so best to pass on how its done over in the art forums and what we have been told is acceptable to give him a bit of piece o mind .
better safe than sorry and all that rot -

Heya Heroid
We ran into this over in the Coh screenshot/ fan art forums , the official moderator take on it was telling people you are open for comissions is okay , discussing prices of any sort on the forums is not okay .
We usually just post that we are open for comissions then simply link to our Deviant Art page journal listing rates and such .
We haven't had any issues
hope that helps sir -
Fenris already mentioned it but it bears repeating
"The forums do not represent the whole server and take the forums with a grain of salt (even the giant spats that pop up ) "
Hope you enjoy your stay
ps
I really need to rework the old "Welcome to Virtue" cut and paste thingy :P -
Id imagine after the results are posted there will be little reason to continue posting in the thread so I too will be ignoring this thread at some point .
Once again good luck to all involved -
Got arts from my buddy Drunk-fu / shia of Junkpile
My tomboy welder and salvage yard expert that built and wears a giant rusting robot suit and pretends to be a robot so she can hang out with the meta crowd she idolizes without getting her head bashed in

your loss -
gahhh sooo many good entries !
When Fury pm'ed me and explained his idea for the contest I knew we had a winner but even im a bit surprised by the amount of particapants and the quality of the entries !
we really should have considered a category solely on production/presentation values as the presentations alone have been worth the contest .
Once again , good luck to everyone and im really jazzed to get a chance to butt heads with Bay and Fury over who we think are the cream of the crop (which we be insanely hard because there is lots of cream here ) -
Also the first few posts after the initial post a number of questions where asked and answered , I belive the tenth post after the announcement covered that we just wanted CoX screen caps .
easy enough to overlook , no harm no foul .
Good luck with your other entries ! -
Yeah we would rather have everyone on the same footing design wise , which is why we are only allowing costumes created via the CoX costume creator .
so no hand drawn entries no dressing up as statesman no screenies from other games etc etc just what you can create via the in game creator .
hope that clears up any confusion .
ps
won't be able to look over anything until sunday night as i'll be out of town (Fury and Bay are likely watching like hawks though ) and im hoping all come back to find that we have 50 contestents and lots of new outfits to look at
once again good luck everyone and thank you for bringing your A game . -
Quote:Belive me its hard to pick even my favorite of each manti , states or psyche because just when I narrow down the ones I like , new designs pop up making me revaluate my choices .((Taking out a snipey comment to put in a positive one: There are sooooo many good costumes on here, that *I* would NOT want to be the judge of this contest. I'm glad I did mine before I looked at anyone else's. As it was, I almost pulled my entry back out after going through the others. Just... wow!
))
Also im liking alot of these redesigns better than the actual designs
keep up the great work guys and girls judging this will likely cause my first gray hair .
ps
I really want to play through some AE missions with these guys in em just so my bad guys can beat up
these rather stylish heroes -
Extra Extra , read all about it !
your brought your A game now we are doubling and then some the prize amounts
After a bit of discussion with the host Fury Flechette , I have offered to match his initial amount of prize money and then he tossed in another 400 million which now brings the prize amounts to 2.1 billion Influence .
We will be editing the initial post to reflect this but figured id post here as well .
Prize amounts:
1st - 600M
2nd - 400M
3rd - 300M
4th - 200M
5th - 100M
6th - 100M
Also after looking through some of the entries we are already seeing some outstanding entries for individual takes on a character so with that in mind We will also be handing out some individual costume awards (1 , 50 million award for each of the Freedom Phalanx Members , IE our favorite overall Manticore ,Sister Psyche etc )
Thank you all once again for particapating and helping to spread the word to your friends and SG/VG mates .
Good luck to everyone -
....im totally stealing errr borrowing several of the looks shown in some of these entries , its always intresting starting with a base and seeing how everyone takes it and runs with it in entirely different and often amazing directions .
We still have plenty of space for entrys so if you get a chance pass the word onto your friends and SG mates . -
guys , girls , futa cat creatures please kindly take it to PM's if you really need to snipe at each other .
So far the entries have been rather awesome and im pretty surprised by both the turn out and quality , keep it up
((and yes I know a hot head like me asking folks to take it to pm's is amusing )) -

Thanks everyone. The submitted costumes are amazing so far, and while I'd love to add compliments to the entries that have been posted, I am refraining in order to maintain impartiality and to not tip my hand as to what I like. -
sweet ,
Lots more entries and I agree the judges have their work cut out for them .
Keep em coming guys and girls . -
While im not allowed to compete in the contest (aside from judging ) im gonna toss out my takes on redesigning the costumes as well sometime this week .
Im really digging the outfits posted already and am looking forward to seeing alot more .
Definitely spread the word to your Friends and SG mates . -
