That would certainly be preferable...and more likely to win votes from the judges.

Next Week's Theme is Absence of Color. There will be no color allowed to be present on the character; including the skin and hair color. Black and white and shades of grey only...as an example think of an old black and white comic strip from a newspaper.

Yeah, that's a little messed up that someone stole Electra's entire costume.

Unfortunately that happens...I have seen many costumes get "borrowed" from one player to another over the years. I would think as an individual that a person would want to come up with their own unique look but apparently some prefer to copy the designs of others. Of course we also have no record of what every person's costume looks like or who came up with what look first. So we judge the costumes that show up and try to pick the best ones. And that is a good costume...worthy of recognition. So well done Electra!

I have to say, I was baffled by last night's grand prize winner. Not because he was being a pain throughout the entire contest, but because he was basically a guy in a pinstripe suit.

It's not my contest though, and obviously you can pick whomever you want. I agreed with most of the Honorable Mentions, and I do appreciate the American Legion's generosity in running these contests.

I didn't understand the outrageous amount of rage last night. The entire situation was compromised by the supreme oddity of a zombie invasion followed by a Mapserve. Things got pretty nuts, people got REALLY rude, and I think it all added to the usual amount of "That's not fair I wanted to win"-ness going on. If people don't like it, they don't have to enter. If people feel they should have done better, they should just enter again. The contests are so frequent that everyone has a chance to shine at some point.

Personally speaking, there's nothing wrong with a simple costume if it's effective.

You can't make everyone happy.

I wasn't in AP but from what I heard, ironically the person who won the CC was the same person who was trolling the CC the entire time. That's probably the main reason people were upset.
