Awesome! Looking good, Becca. Nice graphics. I'm gonna have a tough time in this first round.

yeah your guys' match is ridiculous.
With the whole graphics thing, I like to do it because 1. it looks cool and doesn't make it a superlong post by stacking them on top of eachother, 2. it makes it easier to compare and 3. it evens the playing field in terms of not judging on size/presentation of pictures. DO you guys think this is a good idea or should I leave them normal? Because if people don't think it's that great, it would be a heck of a lot less work.

I'm kind of on the fence, I am anti-long post, as you can tell from my thread(lol) but I think the bigger the pictures are the better. Bigger pictures can show more details, good or bad.
I like the way you're doing it, but if people have bigger pictures i say let them use those.

again great work on everything i think the whole thing looks awsome with all the graphics and stuff. our stip was to be any wrestler who wrestled in the 80s then turned to a sort of wild card. its going to be a good round tho. best of luck to everybody yeah your guys' match is ridiculous.

I know.. I gotta figure something out. I just like being able to compare them so easily, but I do agree with the "if you've got it, flaunt it" thing, at the same time, if one guy has bigger, better pictures, he might get the nod because of that, even if the custom isn't as good. But I guess it is your responsibility to take good pics..

yeah, i hate that some people have less detailed pics, it becomes hard to decide whos custom is better if you can barely see one of them.

I think becca deserves a big thank you from everyone that's been involved in Customania so far, for her amazing work.
Thanks.

i just wana say thanks becca, this tournament has turned out awesome so far, the competition has been great.
and as far as the graphics go, i love it, and id say stick with with, post all customs as that format, and during the judging process, should someone ask for bigger pics, if they are available, post those as well, or the competitor can post them. but, i really do like the graphics, it gives the tournament a cool-uniform look. which makes it more professional looking-and less of an 'all over the place' look. not to mention, it gives the competitors something cool to save on their comp for having competed in the tournament. thanks again!

So here are my proposed changes for the next round (and beyond). I will set up a photobucket account for the competition. Competitors will have the username and password and will upload the pics there, then PM me when they do. I will make folders for their work. I will make the graphics, but link to their photobucket folder in case someone is having trouble deciding and wants more or larger pictures to look at. I would like to point out, I do try to use all of the included pictures. Thanks HR for the idea.
I was also thinking, and I'll take input, that competitors' votes should count when they vote for the other matches as judges votes. If you guys put the work in, you obviously are not just coming in to vote for your friends, and you're not going to vote for a custom "because you like the wrestler," which is the main drawback to all popular voting. I think this way, there are more votes to go around, which in the end, does make it fairer.
What do you think?

I think becca deserves a big thank you from everyone that's been involved in Customania so far, for her amazing work. Good thought. Thanks for all the work, Becca. Everything looks great. The photobucket idea sounds good. It solves the problem of voters wanting to see bigger, more detailed pics, while you can keep the competition photos more uniform with the graphics. I assume we'd upload all our pics to the photobucket folder and PM you the ones we want to appear in the thread? I'm kinda iffy on the idea of competitors having a weighted vote, especially in a tournament. Wouldn't there be a bit of a conflict of interest with people having the chance to vote for the guy they'd rather face in the next round, instead of voting for the person who made the better figure? Obviously, I'm not speaking about the majority here, but the few people who might use their votes to benefit themselves could really knock things out of whack. Also, more often than that actually happening, I think people will be accused of it by some customizers who don't get voted for. Not that I'm completely against the idea... just something to think about.

Especially with this new fad of "factions", you never know whose aligned with who.

true that, thanks for the input.
I think I will have the collective popular vote count as one vote though, because there are so many people who vote, it would be unfortunate to not have it mean anything. Voting would be closed when the last judge voted, though. Only votes that actually give reasons would be counted.

Thanks for all the work you have put in becca! I can't wait to see what the stipulations are for the event. I read and appreciated everyone's responses to my custom and hopefully will continue to improve. RA's are so much different than McFarlane Sportspicks. Lol. That custom was only my second Jakks custom ever. The first was the customary newb Sting. Lol
