I'd have to see a set in-person, first. LOL.

While I am pointing out your 2 customs, please take no offense. I love your work, as do others. This post is meant as a general comment for this contest, and any potential future ones. Anywho... Yes, while it was suggested that the fig(s) need to at least have a 25th feel, surely it doesn't mean to completely ignore the 80% rule. Rules are rules, and they're there for a reason. Stepping slightly outside of those rules is one thing, but going around the corner from them is absurd. If I though I could have gotten away with using 75-100% deadite bodies, I would have too. I mean heck, using those bodies leaves very little to actually customize. Think about it...everyone made their zombies using 25th figs, with minor additions of "other" parts. Now we have 2 last minute entries which utilize 75+% deadite bodies, with a skosh of 25th parts (or basically none for a certain ninja - Katana's don't qualify as 25th parts imo - accessories for, maybe). Not trying to bust anyone's balls, but we all need to play on the same field, with the same rules. Otherwise, these contests(and quite possibly Hisstank) are going to be a joke. And the more this happens, more people will lose interest in participating. And where's the fun in that? One way to level the playing field for everyone, is to modify the basic contest parameters. For instance - Run it for a month like normal. On the last week, everyone has to post their custom(s) on Monday and Tuesday. Wed-Fri is for voting only. Just an idea, but this way no one gets to sit back and scope everyone else's work before they submit anything. It also would allow everyone(Admins too) to view everything one after the other, and not get influenced(possibly) by 1-2 specific threads which just happen to be the "hot topic" for the last 3-5 days. As for the specifics with the rules - I'll have to disagree overall with the "feel" thing. You either have an 80% (or whatever) rule, or you don't. Why? Because not everyone will have the same understanding of what a "feel" is, and quite frankly...may not even see the post where it was mentioned. I didn't see it actually, because I read the rules and never looked back. The point is, whoever sets up these contests needs to be more clear with the specifics, and follow through with them. We can't have "hidden", or "unknown" rules, ideas, or personal "feels" involved. It just doesn't work, if you expect everyone to get a fair shake at anything. Again, just some ideas. Either way, I appreciate Hisstank for having these contests to begin with. It gives us all something to focus on, and it's fun too. |
