Great work all!

question: since some artists have multiple entries, doesnt that slant the vote count in their favor?

Note the current "winners" in the hero select screen and villain charselect screens: they both entered with one screen each. Quality, not quantity.

(Honestly I wanted to do it with one item per screen but I doubt the forum could have handled that many items per question. I'm surprised it handled 17 for the hero login one.)

In villain char select, each entrant only has one entry. Therefore, I submit that in a study of correlation between # of entries to # of votes, it can't be considered.

In the remaining 4 categories, 3 are being won by entrants with multiple entries. 2 of these have at least one more than any other entrant, and the third is tied for most entries.

Therefore, I'd say it a fair assumption to say that those who have multiple entries do have an advantage. This should be obvious though without any real analysis. Assuming two entrants create images of equal quality, and therefore each image created by these two garners the same number of votes, but one entrant enters two images, then that entrant will obviously win.

I also felt it would be improper to mention this at first, being as I'm an entrant, but at this point even if the top placed contestant in my category had his votes divided by his number of entries, I'd still be far behind. So I'm not protesting in hopes of changing the outcome for my own favor, so much as in desire of seeing a fairer contest. Ideally the images would be presented without being attributed to their creator as well, in order to avoid the "I'm voting for the person I like" bias, but thats another subject entirely. Plus, I'm guilty of asking friends to vote for me, so I'd be a bit hypocritical to suggest that, and the names attached to the entries are all available in the original thread anyway.

That being said, I understand why the voting was set up this way. Technical limitations suck.

Well, there goes any chance my blaster had of ever taking on a tanker or scrapper. Heck, I was lucky to get them below half health before this. At least when I'm fighting in RV the worst thing I'll have to go up against are stalkers and brutes.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I don't think this is gonna help balance PVP at all.

Maybe that location from the video will be a new zone, ala Striga and Croatoa, and the asian heroes will be some of the contacts and/or show up in missions to aid you. Perhaps in I7 or I8 we'll see the long dreamt of airport zone, from which we can travel to this new area, along with several more exotic locales to be added later.

Hey, I can dream, can't I?

I don't know if its already been suggested, but it might be a good idea to list achievements so that all the debt badges are together in ascending order, all the healing badges, etc.

May I simply say that this thread is absolutely great. Its answered almost all my questions.

Just to clarify, according to this thread slotting a HamiO is always better than slottting an SO, even a +3 SO, even if it is a triple HamiO and you are only using one of the three effects of it?

Is that PDF not showing up for anyone else? All I'm getting is a white screen.

Positron, yesterday I did the Portal mission to attack Oranbegans and received the Frontline badge. However, it was not my mission, it was Shazan on Freedom server's. Shazan did not get the badge, but I did (as Sodoshi).

So things are still a little screwy.

Shazan accused me of stealing her badge! :>

So you can confirm that frontline is an outdoor mission? Can you also confirm that it is in the level 35-40 range? Before issue 2 there were no outdoor missions before the level 40-45 missions. Is it possible that that either,
A: This is a new mission, that was not in the game before issue 2?
B: The mission has been updated, and the update is somehow interefering with the datamine detecting that some of us have completed the old version of it?

I'm missing my Positron TF badge and my 11th mission badge, Frontline. Are you still datamining for these or am I going to have to do them over? Assuming that Frontline is the mission where the Circle of Thorns finds a dimension where Oranbaga never fell, tries to get them to help the circle in this world, but these oranbagans turn out to be good guys, I've done it. 3 part mission if I remember, and I remember it because I had trouble with the first mission with finding a glowie and had to reset the mission before I found it. I've done all the missions I could from level 1 on, don't think I've outleveled a single contact before running their mission pool dry. Maybe one of the first few contacts, but definately not since level 10.
