Just to let you know, pictures, banners, and videos will not be accounted when it comes to voting. So, you can change your profile look anytime you want, as long as it is before voting begins.

Amaruuk June 7th, 2009 3:11 PM

Oh, sign me up! This thread must've eluded my sight until now.

.Seth June 7th, 2009 8:51 PM

I'll give it another shot, seeing as I've added gradients, and changed the borders up a bit.

Sign me up.

Also, I assume background images will matter if I use them?

Pokedra June 7th, 2009 9:16 PM

I'll sign up, my profile is pretty bad though \o/

Beelzebub June 8th, 2009 4:25 AM

Eh, why not, I'll sign up again. C8

Ivysaur June 8th, 2009 4:29 AM

I doubt I'll get a single vote but just for the hell of it, I'm joining XD

pokerus34 June 8th, 2009 4:38 AM

I want some experience. Sign me up, please?

For Supporters, yes backgrounds will matter to voters as it is [large] part of your profile's appearance. Only pictures such as Profile Picture, Youtube Vids, Banners, Avatars, and Albums won't count when considering who you'll vote for. It isn't necessary for supporters to choose to use background images though, it is only an option.

Frequency June 8th, 2009 9:38 AM

Hell, throw me in there. I might as well, seeing that I have a scheme that I like.

wolf June 9th, 2009 5:50 AM

Say if a supporter does not use any image backgrounds, should they go to the original member list since they are not using the supporter feature?

Also, sign me up~

No, if they are a Supporter, then they'll stay in the Supporter/Staff section of the contest. For Supporters, the background and bar features are option, as in you can use it if you want, but it isn't mandatory. Profiles can outshine others even with or without the fancy look that Supporters have, it is just up to the voters in what they choose overall.

I'll sign you up now by the way.

Honest June 9th, 2009 10:01 AM

Already? Wow, time goes by fast.

Anyways, after 3 months of being lazy, (JK, Was busy), I finally changed my profile! Flash, sign me up, please! May the best profile win!

Artemis June 9th, 2009 2:00 PM

I just wanted to let you all know that if at anytime during sign up and voting periods, if you happen to get a name change, please let me know. This way the other contestants will know who you are and I will know who you are too. It'll also cause less confusion to others and it'll allow me to change your name on the list.

In addition to this, if you happen to become a supporter at anytime during this period, I'd also like to know so I can revert you from a regular member to a Supporter on the member's list.

Thank you.

True Reign June 9th, 2009 8:38 PM

Just wanted to drop by and I got a name change from JD to Mage.

Thanks, Flash.

deliriouspurple June 10th, 2009 5:04 AM

I wanna join also, so sign me up! please :)

Gerri Shin June 10th, 2009 7:10 AM

I'll join again, sign me up.

I just had a thought as I was looking through this and the previous contests.

well the way it is now, everyone can see who in the list of participants has the emblem. This might make the voters bias against them and make them want to vote for someone who doesn't have the emblem. By removing the little plus signs next to whoever has the emblem, is puts a slight blind on that unless someone looks at a user's profile and sees that they have the emblem.

Now for the idea, if someone wins, and they have already been awarded the emblem then the judges for the contest, in this case You and WolFlare, would look back upon the winners Vote and then award the Emblem to their #1 choice. So in a way to vote for someone who has already won the emblem will not discount everyone from getting the emblem. It's a win win situation which removes bias from the voting because even if someone votes for someone who has the emblem, there is still a chance for someone to get the emblem.

In the case that the Winner's first vote already has won the emblem, the next vote in their list. If the second vote also has the emblem, then the emblem will again go to the next vote that doesn't have the emblem. If in the extreme case that all of the winners' choices already have the emblem then the deciding vote for who gets the emblem passes on to the winner of second place. (or if the Chairperson and the vote counter decide, the emblem will go to the second place winner or their first vote)

So what do you think of this addendum to the rules?

Honest June 11th, 2009 4:51 AM

I gotta a big surprise for the 12th month's contest, i just gotta make sure with Went and them thats ok, but its gonna be a real blast. :)

Anyways, it seems as if we got some real compertition this year, but might I suggest, f l a s h, that you hold an amount of votes aloud. Say that there has to be at least 10 votes before resukts are given? Because in the last won, only 5 people gave there choices. :\

^ I second this. It's a very good idea in every sense of it. I agree that there would be a bias toward voting for people without emblems with the current setup, and that in addition to fixing that, something should be done so that if the same people keep winning, it doesn't nullify everyone's chance at getting an emblem, and makes it so one is actually awarded regardless who wins.

I'm still thinking about this since we discussed it, but I'm glad you posted it here so others can read it and disuss the matter to see what they think.

Only five huh? Well then, I'll definitely try to bring in more votes this time so things seem more fair for everyone. This is one of the reasons why I lengthened the sign-up and voting period for everyone compared to previous contests. Hopefully it'll work out well and we'll get it more votes, and possible ten. I'll definitely try to hold out on the results until more votes are given though, but to keep on schedule I'll see if I can remind everyone when voting begins so they'll remember.

wolf June 12th, 2009 9:09 PM

Okay people, time for voting. :D

Alec_ June 12th, 2009 10:16 PM

Yes, Fairytales it is just a little too late, as voting has now begun. Do not worry though as the next Prettiest Profile Contest will be held next month by another member. Which reminds me to say, whoever wishes to hold the next Prettiest Profile Contest v.6, please contact me via PM.

As wolFLARE has stated, let the voting begin and good luck to all of us! Just a reminder, you have up until the 18th to vote, so make sure the most of you who joins gets it in as soon as you can, thank you.

Alec_ June 13th, 2009 4:22 AM

Well then. I have to wait for the next month. xD. Oh by the way i vote for Ayano Katagirl, Shinijislover. ~Morning Bliss~ and f l a s h. would 4 be possible?

Er, you can vote seeing as the rule allows members who did not join to vote. Except, you may only vote for one regular member and one supporter. Not to mention, your vote must go to WolFLARE via PM.

Thank you ^_^

Edit: I just wanted to let all members know that Syndrome has dropped out of the contest. So, all votes that were made to him, please WolFLARE do not count those.

EDIT [Again]: I just wanted everyone to know, that I, f l a s h, got a name change and I will now be known as Aero.

EDIT #3: .Swift has been disqualified from the contest for a change in profile design. So, all votes made out to him shall not be counted. Also, as a reminder you all have until the 18th to submit your votes, meaning two days left [EST. time zone].

ShinjisLover June 17th, 2009 3:27 AM

Man, this thread is, like, dead. . XD I hope wolFLARE got those messages, Shivi-chan. .
