I haven't done much of anything in the last 6 months, unfortunately. What's not here (and some of what is) is posted on my da account fearless.deviantart.com ... I should really update that.
That's some great work, man. I was trying to decide, but I still think the "Ever Feel Like..." image is one of my favorites.Quote:

So all of you who are saying "I'm losing", "I'm tied"...I think you should cut that crap out. If you are losing, take it like a man and just allow the voting to continue unhindered. Quit trying to get votes by dropping hints about which image is yours.
Weak sauce, dudes...
I was about to say the same thing.Quote:

I Will Kill All Of You In An Emotional Rage! Arg!
THANK YOU NORDS! YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:Quote:

you're right, over course. i hear you...just trying to offer another viewpoint. i'm sure some people could take the time to figure out whose volleys are whose, but those people have most likely already voted. i think everyone has been behaving. now if someone starts saying, "i can't believe i'm losing to THAT terrible image," then it's time for a smackdown.Quote:

and with all the anonymity around here, it's pretty hard to pick out one above the other...and once you vote you're done. You want to stifle the conversation, then talking about losing, winning, tieing, or pretty much anything that has anything to do with any image whatsoever.
I say that nords is completley right in this. If you aren't bashing anyone who cares? If you really want to piss people off, keep telling them not to post....then you'll get your wish...nobody will be here.
Hey, I feel the excitement. This has just been nuts, and the last thing I would want to do is be a killjoy. I just think that if we are going to keep the names a secret...which I do think is a good thing...pits skill against skill instead of it turning into a popularity contest...then we should do that throughout the entire voting process. That means the people who win can feel good about their victory. It had been earned on the merits of the image alone. If everyone is done voting then we should close the polls down and declare the winners. If not, then the same rules that applied when voting began should still apply now.
And in regard to people posting guesses about who did what image, that's cool and a lot of fun...what's not are the people who confirm whether it is or not.
You guys crack me up. RUSH NORDS LEFTY there is truth in what all three of you say. I feel what is a shame is the lack of people voting come on now how many people are in the arena there should be more votes in my opinion.
AND THE DRAMA OF WHOS IMAGE IS WHOS IS KILLING ME I"M PROBABLY NOT GOING TO SLEEP EARLY TODAY!!!! :)
Lefty...I love ya, man. Let me clarify something. I'm not calling you or anyone else a cheater. Read back, you'll see. What I'm saying is that the people who were posting in a manner to which I objected simply didn't realize the implications of the information they were revealing with their comments. This includes you. No hard feelings, dude. :hug: :D
the best point made in these last few posts is about the lack of voting. as it stands, i think there are less voters than total competitors. just wow! i would like to see at least 100 votes, if not 500. where is everyone?
