Total Posts: 5 | I need help for votes.. It may seem a bit biased if you just view mine and vote, so you can look and see what the competition is: http://www.84silver.com/contest_browse.php
Mine is currently in 2nd place (Searing Fire), and I'm not liking my position because I feel my design is better, although my opinion doesn't speak for everyone of course. My design could be much better if I didn't have to use TI's ugly flash tool to create it, but.. eh. If I win the most votes in my state, I get a free TI-84+SE. If I win in the entire thing and get the Grand Prize, I get $1000 for myself, then a TI Navigatorand 30 ti-84+SE's for the school of my choice. I'm the only guy in the top 5 entries right now...
Third place looks great and all, but if you knew about this stuff, you'd know that the background with all the planets and such is a pre-made background that anyone can use. All that guy did was put random stamps on it. That's all. The point of this competition is to make a new and original design, not use an old one and add random uselessly crap on it. Well anyways, I was just hoping I could get support from you guys and gets some votes in. If you don't want to vote for me that's fine. I'm just asking for help here.

Total Posts: 2486 | Yeah, I like your design better than others too. Other ones are way to bright and psychadelic. Though, I would have like some sort of futuristic design or maybe some cool anime art but nice entry nonetheless. You got my vote on that one.
EDIT: OIC, you have to use their stupid editor. Bleh... I guess they have to do the vector art in order to achive better image resolution on the skins. Still, limits creativity a lot so that's why most skins look very similar. Though, they might have done that to avoid any copyright issues.

Now I'm in third. I'm actually competing with two specific people, and everyone I've come across says mine is better, and has voted, but yet I'm still far behind. Grar. I don't care what anyone thinks at this point, theres no way they can get that far ahead of me so suddenly without C-H-E-A-T-I-N-G.. Well maybe, but it's extremely doubtful.. bah, I don't know. I'll just keep trying anyways.
Edit: hmm now I have 126.. :O

Total Posts: 5 | I've all but lost all hope on winning the grand prize because from the looks of it, a few certain people are more than obviously cheating and rocketing ahead of *everyone*, but TI doesn't seem to really care. So in my last attempt of this contest, I've started a petition that you can sign: http://www.petitiononline.com/graphiti/petition.html
I have not cheated, I have no desire to, and I have a pure heart of winning this, but if I lose against a bunch of cheaters, I will be emotionally destroyed. They do say the good guys always win though, so.. I'll just hope for a bit longer. No telling what the next 2 1/2 months will hold for me. |
