I'm looking at the vote distributions and really? I can understand #5 and #7 being up there because they're good and you can tell that the artist put work into them.I also see #10 being up there because it's simple, eye-catching, and it's a decent example of vector art (my personal favorite).
But like #3 is just a .gif taken from PandF when Candice touches the hallucinogenic moss with text over it. Yet people are voting for it.I was going to submit an entry next week, but clearly since no one really votes fairly and pretty much votes for their friends (let's not bullsh*t here, guys. I honestly don't believe people would unbiasedly pick some of these over others) or vote as a joke, I'm probably not going to.
It's also a huge insult to people who actually put in effort on their submissions.
I'm looking at last week's competition and really... "green skorcheio".
We do this for fun... why so serious? This isn't a state champ competition for sigs, lol. Besides, if you look at SOTW 13 again you'll see that #1 and #3 winners were amazing sigs. You really haven't been here long enough to know that Cyo is the funniest troll out there, so that's why gren skorcheio got 2nd. Also, since you haven't been here long, I should inform you that you need to get a sense of humor quick, otherwise you won't enjoy yourself here.
They only win Neopets items, and most of the time one or two winners give their prizes to someone else since they don't care/don't even play Neo.
Besides... right now #3 only has 5 votes, so it's not even winning. Some people vote for sigs they find funny, and that's not against the rules. I really doubt there are those that vote just because a friend made that sig, maybe like one or two people because in the long run it doesn't matter, the better sigs will place. If you even bothered to look at past SOTW results, you'll see the some amazing sigs won and newer members have almost always placed.
