There has been some talk that people want the option to pick the winning egg/s. I will take the time to compile votes. I can't provide any prizes on any/all the oceans, so this will be a bragging rights sort of deal. (If anyone has any ideas for this, I'm open ears.) I will be tracking votes at google docs. (Apparently, you will have to create/sign in with google docs to view it.) (I have changed the setting of the google doc to nonpublic, but will change it back to public once all the voting is done. The reason is, I don't want anyone's votes to be influenced by whose eggs have already been voted for.) Deadline for people's choice will go until March 21st or Until OOO announces the winners in the game/forum. Once that has been done, this "event" is over. This is what I want you to do: Do not include any egg designs that have been marked as not seamless, as they wouldn't be eligible in the game to win either. (To get the egg number, count the eggs left to right.) Eggs will be scored as follows: 1st place pick = 4 points 2nd place pick = 3 points 3rd place pick = 2 points Hono(u)rable mentions = no score value This is just for fun and has no official bearing on the actual judging! (so there is no point in repeatedly voting for your own egg using multiple alts or friends.) ---------------------------------------- Fizz -- RETIRED Senior Officer of Phoenix Warriors, Lady of Tyrs Own ---------------------------------------- [Edit 8 times, last edit by Fizz at Feb 25, 2008 1:41:00 PM] |

Wow there are so many amazing eggs this year! It's very hard to pick my top three favorites...so I'll put some of my "honorable mentions" too. All of the entries deserve a round of applause, but these entries stood out to me. =D (1) - Queasy (Viridian)- Octopus Egg (Both get 2) - Dexla (Midnight)- The two purplish eggs (3) - Pletoo (Sage)- Fish Egg (4 for the sake of it!) - Booteelishus (Sage)- Crab Egg These eggs get my honorable mentions- Adrielle (Viridian)- Octo Egg, Palm Tree Egg Gwiddon (Sage)- Cracked Egg Rein (Cobalt)- Strawberry Egg Rom (Sage)- Football Egg Starrene (Viridian)- Octo Egg Fizz (Midnight)- Widow Queen's Spider Egg Thanks Fizz for doing this thread; I think it was fun to be the judge for a change! >.< ~SeaLassey ---------------------------------------- ERG!

Thanks for the votes, SeaLassey, could you submit following the directions? I need to know the egg number. Count the eggs, left to right to get the egg number. Saves me from having to go to the webpage to see which one it is you are voting for. ---------------------------------------- Fizz -- RETIRED Senior Officer of Phoenix Warriors, Lady of Tyrs Own |

Thanks for setting that up. I am not so sure I could pick just three. How complicated would it be to allow for honorable mentions? (With a limit to how many) I'd say, pick your favorite 8 and score as follows: 1st place pick = 4 points 2nd place pick = 3 points 3rd place pick = 2 points Hono(u)rable mentions = 1 point Also, some people are not comfortable giving out their email address, so I would suggest that they can PM it to you (or they can PM it to me and I will put them in an email to you.) Personally, I'd make the deadline cut off when the actual winners are announced if that should happen before the 21st, otherwise you will likely get an influx of votes afterwards that will be biased towards the chosen ones (or against them for those dissatisfied.) Finally, you did imply this, but it bears repeating: This is just for fun and has no official bearing on the actual judging! (so there is no point in repeatedly voting for your own egg using multiple alts or friends.) ---------------------------------------- Pletoo of Sage |

I like this idea.. yes.. I will incorporate the HMs .. though the HMs will bare no scoring for the actual people's choices, (1-3)
I thought of that too, but figured my inbox here would get full too fast with just PMs. I will edit the OP to include PMs too, but to keep in mind, my inbox could get full.
If i knew when they were gonna be announced or released, I would. I will put a clause in the OP to say once the annoucement has been made for the actual winners in game. People's Choice is over.
Yes.. Please keep this fair and vote only once. ---------------------------------------- Fizz -- RETIRED Senior Officer of Phoenix Warriors, Lady of Tyrs Own |

If they try to send it to you and your box is full, they are welcome to send it to me and I will pass it on via email. Also, I posted this in the main event thread but if anyone is interested in seeing as many as possible at once, I collected them into one image here. (This does not include any that specifically said that it was not seamless.) Of course, you will still have to go to the YPPedia page to find who created the eggs you choose (they are not quite in order in my image, so consider it a treasure hunt :D) ---------------------------------------- Pletoo of Sage |

Actually, Pletoo, that's a great way to impartially judge them. The name factor isn't an issue. Verrrry nice! ---------------------------------------- Silveransom makes art like this or this & Blender Eggs! |

Pick out the 8 you like then go find them on the wiki page. Most of the eggs are pretty distinct - besides hidden object games are very popular :) I am currently going through the first cut, keeping the ones I like off the large image. Then I will do it again and again until I have narrowed it down to the ones I like the best. It is easier for me to do it that way.

I had intended to add numbers to pletoo's image, but got side tracked. I still think it's a good idea if people would find it helpful? "I vote for numbers 1,4, 78, 5...ect" is far easier to handle than "I vote for all of Domokun's, Pletoo's, Nemo's oprange one, Fred's green thingy..." ---------------------------------------- Domokun |

Please use the voting number system I have set up in the OP. Otherwise, it will be more work for me to calculate them in the google doc since I will have to go back and forth between the wiki and your vote email and the googledoc to find out the number/s that I am using for the eggs. Pletoo's egg image is for fun. It has no baring on how I am have the numbering set up. ---------------------------------------- Fizz -- RETIRED Senior Officer of Phoenix Warriors, Lady of Tyrs Own |

Thanks! and yes.. this is an unabashed attempt to bump/remind people of their people's choice. I haven't had any new submissions for a few days now. I hope people are just having a hard time picking but still plan on voting. Harrr! I've only received a small handful of selections. ---------------------------------------- Fizz -- RETIRED Senior Officer of Phoenix Warriors, Lady of Tyrs Own |

Oooh...well that might explain it :P I don't usually go back and read an OP again unless it is for a contest - then I read it a hundred times. Carry on... ---------------------------------------- Pletoo of Sage |

Yes.. I am bumping this. Not to many people have sent me votes. I'd hate to have people waiting for the last minute only to have the winners announced by OOO and not have their votes count since I will conclude the People's Choice votes once winners are announced. ---------------------------------------- Fizz -- RETIRED Senior Officer of Phoenix Warriors, Lady of Tyrs Own |

Oooh, sneaky sneakery and sibilant skullduggery is... afoot. /e wanders off to pick a few choice eggs OK, submissions sent. That was almost painful. I had to go through three agonizing waves of cuts, and my "final eight" were maddeningly difficult to sort. Nice work, all you eggy artists! ---------------------------------------- Silveransom makes art like this or this & Blender Eggs! ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by SilveRansom at Mar 2, 2008 7:35:51 PM] |

Yeah, that's why I haven't submitted my choices either. Once I get below about 8, I might as well be throwing daggers to pick the "top 3". And I don't think thats a very good basis for voting on something. (Though to come to think of it, if I could throw knives at the presidental candidates, and the one who comes out alive gets the White House...) ---------------------------------------- Feylind Semi-retired |

I definitely sympathize with those intrepid souls that are judging these.
Except the trouble I have with eggs is that I like a lot of them. Presidential candidates is a completely different story. Knives would be fun. Maybe throwing eggs? /e refrains from speaking further on matters political, in order to maintain his sanity and thread integrity My pre-final eight cut had 20 or so eggs, any of which I could happily give a top spot to. I'm going to be optimistic and say that's a good thing; it means we have good artists around here. :D ---------------------------------------- Silveransom makes art like this or this & Blender Eggs! |

Hmm. None of my eight picks made it, and only three of the winners were even in my top 20. *shrug* Back to trying to make a non-Max version of the egg file. ---------------------------------------- Silveransom makes art like this or this & Blender Eggs! |
