AHT Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Please, please, please can the snapshot contest return? Tauriel used to run it, but Gizmo might you run it? I really miss the monthly fun and seeing if I did well - not usually! Or seeing lovely feedback like this: "Very cool Amanda. :)" (thank you Nikki) and, er some other feedback : "A chick watching porn and a girl in a tutu dress and some music notes won over sky's bondage and AHT's interview?"..."/me would like to point out that she named a person's pic to win even though shes doesnt [sic] like that bitch at all" (er thanks for the praise AmanteBish) Anyway it's nearly December and there are lots of fun apps for editing pictures now and all you people in your 20s seem adept at Photoshop - unlike people in their 30s like, er, me - so, please, can it be brought back! I would do it myself but I rather like entering! Or are there any suggestions on say setting up a site for voting? Can you add a forum poll at the end of the month? If so I'll do it!

Tauri Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Me and Gizmo decided it was time for a break cause there were more complaints than ever before about how it was done. With a new set of rules and as you suggest a seperate place to vote for everyone, then i think it could return and be fun like it used to be. Im still up for running it, but as me and Gizmo talked about back when it closed down, it would probably have to change quite a bit. Its up to the dev team and the 3dx community if they want it back or not. Anaganda and Abbey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHT Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Well my suggestion is this: Contest closes 23:59 on last day of monthA vote option is then added and it is open for ten days - naturally one vote per account (yeah I know alts or friends, but forum votes are anonymous - somebody will now post about how they aren't and Pandora knows!) - and winners announced on 11th. Well I may just set it up soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauri Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Thats a lot of votes options to add, but its possible to pull off, will probably end up in the same amount of work as the last system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordelia Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I know how much work goes into things like this and specifically this, despite what might appear to be a relatively simple competition, as I was one of the judges (I'm out of the game now so I can say that).Tauri did a great job and, for someone like me who enjoys the creativity that others bring to the game it was a great assignment. So, of course, I would like to see it, or an alternative, continue and soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanti Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I hope you manage to get it back up and running. As hard as it is to get it going in a way that it's to everyone's liking. But I really hope it returns, looking at all the creativity from the members pop up through their pictures was always a positive escape on this forum.

Leeloo Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 when there was the old system , i proposed 3 judges ( not hiden ) plus an "additional" judge : the forum members . They vote and the pic with the higher number gain one vote . Though , as 3 judges + 1 could looks strange , maybe there could have 2 judges ( not hiden ) plus the vote earned with the forum members votes .

Guest Harmony Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I suggest, for what it's worth as I don't actually play 3dx any more (so, not worth anything lol ), that the format described above be adopted immediately, with one key change: no cheesy entries are to be permitted. That rules out one regular entrant I can think of Amanda, you'll know what I'm referring to . AHT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHT Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Haha Bec! So here is the format I propose:Standard screenshots - filters allowed and basic additions such as text for the firstPhotoshopped or a 'fancy app' - just declare if you did otherwise I'll have to decide! - or I'll ask Laura or Bec! The main issue I can see with a vote is that we can set up two questions - so fave standard and fave photoshopped, but the questions are limited to 20 answers. So if we get 21 entries (yeah right) in a subject I'm in trouble. So there needs to be a method to get it down to 20 per category. So likes will be used first. If say there is a tie for the 20th place then I'll remove the posters 'like' if they did that as, well, one imagines all posters like their entry! Then number of days posted. So an entry up for 20 days with 4 likes will lose to an entry up for 3 days with 4 likes. Oh gosh sounds complicated. That or we toss a coin! Oh and if the vote is tied then we just have joint winners. Sorry! Or they can go play volleyball or have a race around love island or something to decide. Based on previous contests the following do well; funny entries, cheesy pics, models with wings and posting early in the month gives you the best chance! Well Bec you can still vote!

AHT Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 No prize. I mean ok maybe I can get some jelly beans or a pen next time I'm at an financial services event. Let them complain. I personally still love this: ""A chick watching porn and a girl in a tutu dress and some music notes won over sky's bondage and AHT's interview?" and "/me would like to point out that she named a person's pic to win even though shes doesnt [sic] like that bitch at all" from AmanteBish and when Andras told people to calm down and said they were all basically crap.
