Nice job, everyone. I'm looking forward to the 2009 Winter sprite contest. I hope it'll be as good as this one!! ^_^
Now that my honeymoon is over I will have more time to organize the next contest. In the mean time I'd like to get a consensus on how we should treat multiple entries in the next contest. What do you guys think would be fair and just?

QuoteHell, you could just go by the point value of their single best submission, as opposed to two. That way dwib (or whoever) may have the two best sprites, but he only technically gets first place. Or is that what we already did?
Unless one of us has misunderstood the other, that is precisely what I was suggesting.

I believe the small advantage it does provide would make it worthwhile to start on more sprites once the ones they already submitted are "perfected," but it can't skew the results in their favor and so should be fair.

well I think multiple entries are fine. . . If a contestant has multiple entries then his entry which gets a higher place will be honored. I mean think of it this way even if you have multiple entries like 12 entries for example but only some are top notch work than it still does not guarantee a win cuz the criteria is still the best of the best. . .

Only thing is if you have a winning entry at a top spot it would just be fair to have your other entries invisible now regardless of score to make way for the runners-up. . .

that is just my opinion. . . cuz with contest sprites you dont know when an Idea will hit you and make you want to submit it not even for glory but for public viewing and appreciation. . .

the  :more:  ideas for sprites the better!

Yeah, multiple entries are good. That way, we can see varieties and creativities of various spriters ^^

I totally agree with Silvas on this. Multiple are fine as long as they don't skew the results unfairly.

So by this understanding of handling multiple entries the final results for this contest would be Dwib in first place, Aquablack in second, and PX_Timefordeath + Saigas in third place. Any problems with that conclusion?

You mean I only get one trophy??
Just kidding, good decision on that Vanya. I was wondering about that at the beginning when I saw there were multiple entries allowed. See you all for the winter contest

I prefer it that way too. Only the best sprite should matter so that someone doesn't win all the first places.

Love what you're seeing? https://supportus.ffhacktics.com/ 💜 it's really appreciated

Anything is possible as long as it is within the hardware's limits. (ie. disc space, RAM, Video RAM, processor, etc.)

If Dwib dresses up that ghost buster as a santa buster for the xmas edition he is a winner in my book. Even if he's a loser.
Oh pitiful shadow lost in the darkness, bringing torment and pain to others. Oh damned soul wallowing in your sin, perhaps...it is time to die
