Results are going to be posted in this thread. Note: DO NOT POST in the linked thread. The thread is only for Xaphania to post the results. I've actually deleted posts in this thread, guys, so take note that Xaphania doesn't want anyone to post in that thread. ETA: And looks like Xaphania has it covered.

Thanks for that Emmie I had planned to put the overall result in this thread for discussion, and then the scores/comments breakdown in the other thread. Hope it isn't too confusing... I'm also kind of nervous about posting the results, as two people will be eliminated

I'm so excited to see the results! I always know what is going to happen with the contests I run, and since this one doesn't use polls, I am always in suspense. I love it. ;D

I made it?! Wow. I liked my avatar, but the quality turned out a bit bad. A lot of people mentioned that, but I totally agree. I'm thrilled that I made it. Sorry for the two who didn't. Also, wanted to say that I LOVED you avatar, Wyndam!

Also, wanted to say that I LOVED you avatar, Wyndam! Thanks! I'm surprised a few didn't get why I chose the words I did. It was hard to compress her monologue into two words other than the ones I used, so I just went with them. I liked yours as well, VS, but I agree about the image quality. I actually voted for it though, as the image placement was different than the other avatars that used that screencap, so I thought that was cool. Secret Scoobie and faiththeslayer also made great entries! Well done everyone! I'm excited about round two.

I can't believe I made it...a lot of people apparently didn't like my blue effect. I'll have to keep those comments in mind for next time.
Congrats Phil & JW. Your icons were really awesome.

Yay 14 overall points I'm happy with that! Thanks for the comments everyone, a few things to think about and a few to make me smile! And thanks Wyndam for the shoutout Sucks that Raz and Cait are gone! It's quite cool how 'real' the challenge is though. Do or die!...kinda And after reading all the feedback I'm thinking maybe I wrote too much for each of them! Lol! Edit: Oh and I was wondering do the 'who did it' and the 'feedback' have to be posted in those doc things and seperately? I found them to load slowly for some reason, and then it was hard to move from the thread with the images and their numbers, back to the 'who did it' page and then to the 'feedback' page so I knew which one I was looking/reading about... I don't know if anyone else had that problem? I understand it looks neat in the results thread but is there any other way to make is easier to interpret the results? kinda of like having the username, then a spoiler tag with the image and feedback in it.. eg. Secret Scoobie Feedback: (+) colourisation. (-) Too simple, and the picture quality is all funny. (+) Amazing effect. Font rocks. (+)I love how the red pops in this. Buffy's coloring is duller, which really makes her shirt pop. The text helps as well, obviously. (+)Love everything about this one: the positioning, the colouring and the contrast between the red of her shirt and the background. The font looks great, too. (+)The red text matching her red shirt is awesome! (+)Like the way the red text and red top provide an interesting contrast with the dark background. I don't know if that's more or less effort than the 2 documents and posts you're already doing?

I thought I was reading the feedback about mine, but then it started talking about stuff I didn't do, and I got confused and had to go back and look. It wasn't a huge deal, but if it could all be together, that'd be nice.

14 disliked, 8 liked.
Swing and a huge miss, but I still like my icon.
But it's really nice to get feedback, because it proved that often, less is more for many people.
If everyone keeps giving as constructive feedback as they have now, I think we will all be more skilled at the end of the competition.
I thought I would cry after reading 14 minus comments, but they were very useful. Also, the 8 plus comments helped a lot.

Go Phil and JW!
The comments I got made me shake my fist at myself (which, consider the angling, is quite tough...) If I was a vampire, then fonts would be holy water, sunlight, and getting a bunch of stakes for Christmas. But I agree with you guys-- I wasn't so fond of my icon either. Although now I'm kind of scared about choosing a font for next round....

I'd like to know, cos this is the first time I've run a LIMS tourney with as many people as this.

Oh man, I'm glad I didn't get deleted outta this competition, but I've gotta do better next time. When are we picking the new topic for new icons? Do we know?
