3rd Annual Mr. and Ms. Paragon City/Rogue Isles Costume Contest

GRATS to all the winners, and good luck with the next round. As for all the walk ins, Im glad we had them. I didn' want to win be default.(only female villan to preregister). So again GRATS. May the best server win. It better be us or ill send my kitty after the judges.

taste is subjective, and just because you didn't win doesn't mean you had a bad costume. I mean, remember that huce costume contest the CoX staff held a while back? A friggin' comic book clone won the thing, and other clones were finalists.

What matters most here is that this is a costume contest, and the judges are probably not all professional fashion critics. They're people like you and me who tried to make a good judgement, and regardless of if any of us think their judgement sucks, they have a right to have a sucky opinion because it's their contest.

Personally, I'm disappointed that I didn't get a prize or mention and I think the Victory judges don't appreciate a sense of theme or of utilizing the costume system to create things that shouldn't normally exist. However, I respect their right to disagree, and am prepared to be proved wrong depending on who ends up winning the contest.

Hi everyone! I just returned from Disney World and wanted to pop in here. I was very glad to have the pleasure of being one of the MCs for Victory's Mr. and Ms. Paragon City/Rogue Isles contest. We were very impressed with MANY of the costumes and I was pleased to see so many people enter. If we could, we would give out awards to many more people for their originality and use of color, etc. However, seeing as this is a cross server event with over 750 participants, that would be really next to impossible.

Now, a note about walkins, we allowed them last year and we did this year again. I announced in game several days and weeks prior to the event that we would be allowing walkins, but that you needed to sign up if you wanted to make sure you had a spot. I know that not everyone saw this announcement, but I did it. I also said it on vent when I know some of you that jumped in on this thread were there :P Please be happy for the winners and cheer for them to be crowned the overall winners- Victory needs more clout!

At PERC, we are always trying to make our events better. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to PM any time. I just ask that you remember that these are PLAYER RUN events and we are donating our time to hold events for the COX public. Please give your criticism or suggestions constructively. Thanks!

Never saw or heard anything about walkins til day of. If I had known about walkins I wouldn't have bothered to even sign up as I had other things to do on a Sat night.

F the walkins.

If they couldn't be bothered to sign up, judges shouldn't be bothered by them either.

While it does kinda sting to lose to someone who couldn't even bother to RSVP, this is also the third time this contest has been run, and I assume allowing walk-ins was decided in order to more honor the spirit of the event/competition.

I was kinda bitter before, but actually PERC did a pretty good job. Even if they have no taste.

Toril, dress up as Santa Claus and I will sit on your lap. That should make everything all better.

Ok I lost this contest, not the first time I've lost a contest. But I want to see pics of the winners. I mean, if I lost to a person named Serenity Cow, I've just got to see this costume. Or should I call Shenanigans?

Ummmm, whoever judged Serenity Cow (if that is indeed the picture of Serenity Cow) should hang out with Lousy Day and his friends more... they have that barnyard animals SG and really make some good animal themed costumes... I'd rank the ones I've seen of that SG over that one.

The female hero (Addy Cadabby?) looks pretty good, though this costume highlights why I would never want to judge these events. I've seen plenty of costumes on par with that one running around during regular play and Isos, too.

I'll judge writing any day... this would just be way too difficult and all the costumes would start bleeding together for me, I think (as I joked with you the other night, MP).

WHAT? Hmmmmm. Hmmmm. Okay, then I guess I preferred some other cow costumes I saw of theirs! Screen caps don't always do the trick, I must admit.

And I think I prefer the tried and true black and white outfits for cows. Brown and white cows always seem wrong to me, even though I've seen plenty driving through the country. Hehe.

So when do we learn how infinity did? I'm kind of curious to see who won what and who I can laugh at haha. Naw I'm kidding, I just want to see who Infinity will have as representatives for the finals.

Soon(tm)

I've played with you guys a bit... mostly on my Agent Janus (Assault Rifle/EM Blaster) and Bladed Justice (WP/DB Tanker). I think you were mostly on a mouse theme at the time, heh. Those getups were pretty good too.
