I literally have seconds to do this :o
So, look at the first 9 photos I believe.
The first one, with the Divine Veil, is for Open.
The second one, with Stranger Hat, is for Pretty.

Really sorry, this has been a really busy day, and I just got on SK for seconds to do this.

It has already started, as I type this the tough and rose have been done, and the open is now being judged

IT IS NOT TOO LATE.

Be sure to upload pics of yourself and enter them through this thread. I take it that when there's a cutoff, Blue will post saying so.

If you need an image hosting site, imgur requires no account. Just upload and go.

Posting this for Tersa.

The contest was a whole clusterrage and it was hard to do for both... (he had net problems)

Just for the cats I didn't have time to get in:

Sorry about all the chaos some people just could not listen.. What contest is this? Was a common question because of a few spammers who became the object of retorts which led to the chat getting clogged. Even then a /shout is pretty hard to miss and I do not see what could have gone wrong. I had lots of fun and I hope you actually do post the video. Some people just have to try their hardest to ruin things.

Thanks Blueknighter for keeping your composure even though you were under pressure.

Least you got a video. All your inspections will be on that. If you still would like screenies, you can just pull frames out of the video as ya need them, so I'd say the event is a far cry from a total loss. Also, sorry if I added to the chaos. I stopped trying to help until the end, to direct people here. :v

That said, I thought you were expecting this, the thread being titled SECOND contest after all. :p

Let's not even go there O_O'

If you ever decide to host another, make sure to tell me. I could help here and there if you wanted.
Yeah Desu and me talked the whole time and it seems like it was all too fast and unorganized, which pretty much stressed her out to the point she almost left, if not for my consant pressuring to stay for me.

And about the video... talk to you about it on SK next time we meet, better.

Dammit man now I gotta stay up to see the results!

Oh good, I wasn't a hindrance. Yay for me. ^_^

As for screenshots, you can just fullscreen, then screenshot the video as the right places to get the winners costume. Sure, it might be a labourious process, but I feel it would be worth it.

Personal comments:
I'm kinda disappointed I won the open category, but not the rose. The costume I wore for it was my favorite, especially with the Twinkle Aura and all. Matches my name. :v Also kind of sad that the guy I figured would win the rose, the one with a blue chap and silvermail, didn't place at all (pretty sure they had a hyphenated name, I might be wrong). Oh well, I'm not the judge.

That said, here is what I wore for open. I feel it too is incomplete without a Twinkle Aura, but there is no way I'm paying the insane kind of prices they go for for such a subtle thing, and on a costume I wouldn't wear too terribly much either. Least the chap, though expensive, is incredibly noticeable.

I am so happy that you picked me for ugliest I had been wanting that catgory in a contest for a while. Thanks again great contest.

Good job to everyone that won! :)
@Blueknighter Sorry if my last post was sloppy, I was literally getting yelled at by my parents to leave that moment. I hope you understand. Also, I never got to obtain my secret accessory, the Prismatic Wolver Tail. I'm looking forward if you do another contest in the future.

Lol, I wouldn't ignore my parents over a video game, or my friends. That's why I didn't arrive at the contest, for a small party with my close friends (that my parents were taking me to). Anyways, I would be excited for another contest. Just please no major date changes, especially on the day of, so people like myself can have time to prepare :o
Also, I'm kinda disappointed losing the pretty category. I thought my baby stranger was adorable xD

The judging of Tough and Rose make me question a certain person's sense of fashion.. e-e As well as the placement of regal accessories on azure guardian... it's just that, erm, certain winning outfits were.. well.. let's just say they wouldn't get past my pre-selections. I respect you as a person Blue, but damn in certain cases your sense of fashion is.. off by a few hues. Just my opinion from the experience I gathered observing outfits and talking with other experienced people.

To prove my point:
Rose - A green rose SET (no thought process involved in making that combo), with a pumpkin bandolier (and we all know these are not meant to be put on anything because they do this do costumes: outfit, then like just, pumpkin, sitting there being a phallus "HEY LOOK AT ME I DONT FIT HAHAHAH") classed before a superb blue chap + silvermail (expected but well-looking), with several well-matching accessories.
This choice made me think... "is this dude colorblind?"
Carrying on to Tough - A dread skelly helmet ( a dusky + cool, light grey helmet) with an arcane salamander suit... with blue PC. Yes the PC is the best for this setup, but... dread skelly helmet isn't exactly great looking on chroma lines. Anyway, besides that. Greys match and all that jazz, however in this case.. just. No. No. Look at how light and blue-green oriented the skelly is, and how dark and violet-dark blue oriented the arcane is. It's just a no-no. Was picked first place.
Second place, a rock jelly helm, on a dread skelly suit. While the colors may match, some helmets and armors are not.. meant to be put together, really. If you look at the picture, you'll notice the knight seems like he's a soldier expecting his sentence for breaking whatever rule , and it's just.. no. Not pleasing to the eye.
The third place, while it may look tough, it's a mercurial helm on ALC. And goggles on said helm. It's nothing spectacular and the cyan on the helm kinda ruins it, but it's okay, however compared to other entries, it shouldn't have made it here. I hate giving myself as example but I have no idea how other participants looked, so.. http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af20/MDCleo100/2012-04-22_00013.jpg (A thought-out use of the steam mask, matching every color on the armor and looking as testosterone-injected as possible)

Yup, I'm not gonna go on. I hope this proves my point. Sorry Blue, but seems like fashion is just not your thing. A single pretty outfit doesn't mean you're a fashion guru.
I'm disappointed certain good costumes people brought in were outshined by... pumpkin bandoliers. It's sad, but kinda funny.

Tho the ones for open were pretty cool and taking that ^ into consideration I'm surprised that an outfit I designed took second place in pretty. I guess certain people look for different things in outfits and maybe what I consider common sense of fashion is my preference... maybe...

Apologizing before telling someone they suck at something isn't any more polite saying it to them straight. I'm actually positively disgusted with how rude your post was.
How is it that you of the many participants, is getting on to complain about the contest, and not just that, complain about it based on an absolutely relative thing. There is no fashion common sense, that's absurd.

Blueknighter deserves a lot better of a "criticism" than that, and now I feel like he deserves an apology on top of that.

Popping in because this just seemed wrong.

--- Yes, in the sense of fashion, the winners for Tough were mismatching. But, that's not what I was looking for.
Woah, woah, WOAH. So, you made a FASHION contest and then you say that you weren't looking to make a fashion contest?

---Ok, you may think your guy is tough, but when have you ever seen a tough guy with a outfit that matches? To give you a better example, when have you ever seen Chuck Norris wear an outfit that has matching accessories?
Yes, I've seen a lot of them. Besides Ters and his actually bad(&#-looking AND matching armors and stuff.
I remember Lou-Cipher from OUR contest, and some other guys, too.

They DID have extremely good matching EVERYTHING and they looked way bad-#$%er.

Tough + Unfitting = sad excuse for a tough-looking guy

---I don't recall him wearing such things, and if he has, go ahead and prove me wrong. Point being, there is nothing tough about wearing a costume that looks fashionable.
That is like saying that there's nothing tough to something that was carefully DESIGNED to be TOUGH.

http://beltway-gamers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/necrons.jpg This? Tough? NAAAH.

Fashionable =/= pretty cutey derp kawaii desu

Fashionable = Carefully Designed for the said theme.

---Your critique on that Green Tabard with the pumpkin bandolier, I'll allow it, because I will admit that I picked her out of favoritism. She so happens to be a guild mate of mine.

If you can't help your favoritism, don't judge/hold a contest.

---If I recall, I remember seeing that in your first contest, Guyinshinyarmour and another had the same Blue Tabard/Nameless Poncho combo, and Guy so happened to win.
Both of us judged. I don't hold any interesting friendships in SK so there is no favoritism for me.
And, trust me, we don't favorite. We choose by how they look, not by their title, not by their name

PC color can also make a difference, y'know?

---I am rather disappointed in you Tersa. I saw a sudden change within your posts before and after the judging. First, I post up that the event was a disaster, and you come and, as a pal, you try to comfort me. I thank you for that. But then, after the judging, you want to come and humiliate me on my own thread. I do not know if it is because you are a sore loser, or simply because you think you have a better fashion sense than me, but it's a dick move nonetheless.

Not even going there.
TL;DR version: Don't accept the fact that some people might not like your sense? You: 1) Deal with it. 2) Don't organize something. 3) Have at least 1 other judge.
Maybe he was rough, didn't sugarcoat and etc.
But some people are like that, a lot of people are like that irl and you will meet them in even worse ways.

And yes, it was a disaster. You should learn from it instead of using this to get people to comfort you.

---And just to point out, about that fashion guru thing. No... nonononono... no, I'm not a fashion guru. I don't see myself as one, and I didn't create this contest to earn the title as one. Hey, you think a guy who listens to a rap group called *^%##@ By Nature has any sense in fashion? I simply created this contest to add some more fun to a game that's lost value to most of us. My receptions list is composed of veteran players. For the most part, these players have already beaten Vanaduke so many times, beaten all the Shadow Lairs, and completed all the missions. There's nothing left to this game, so I created this contest to add some more fun to this game. They people joined to have fun, and fun they had.

Then ,again, why create a FASHION contest? There are so many other themes you could've chosen.
This way you just put down people that actually put a lot of fashiony effort in their costumes, people who actually have fashion sense and are made for /fashion/ contests.

Imo you could've as well just picked random people and give them the money.

Next time, you should try making a contest that fits with what you're familiar more. Or,for this type of contest, at least have more people to judge, and those people should be people with fashion sense.

And no, no it wasn't fun. It was unorganized, all the noobs screamed like idiots and like, half or more of the population there had no idea what happened.
Like 2 people posted this was fun. That's it, 2-3 people.

This is not to "humiliate" you. This is not to be a jerk to you. This is a lesson and a push towards something better.

@Desuchan: Maybe you should just take your own advice.

"Don't accept the fact that some people might not like your sense? You: 1) Deal with it."

Double post.

Tersa and Desu were the only thing I was displeased by in the contest, I couldn't believe the cursing fit that took place. The two brought everyone down by being unprepared for the event and complaining that it was the events fault.
Sorry you didn't make your outfits into loadouts, sorry you didn't pay attention to the important people in chat, sorry you didn't win first place.
Blueknighter specifically posted to not complain about judgements, and is totally right in pointing out your change in attitude after the results were voiced. It blows me away that you can't be grateful with the 1000 CE you got for standing around.
