I'll keep a count of nominations in this thread. Any draws will be judged by Strong Bad and myself.

I'll make my nominations later... I'm a busy man today

EDIT: No self nomination. Bad Daniel. Bad.

[Strong Bad]

Just because I'm a judge doesn't mean I can't vote!

Here are my 3 nominations:

1. Legendary
2. Donnington
3. Lover Boy (Daniel)

[Autumn]

Deciding on three favourites was harder than I thought it'd be.

1. Ecks
2. Suzu Kitamura
3. Valentine89

[Lover Boy]

I vote for mine. Three times.

HA. I AM SO ****ING SMART.

[Lethal Seraphim]

And the nominees are.....

1. Legendary
2. Suzu Kitamura
3. valentine89

[Bunny]

1. Lover Boy
2. OceanEyesNUMBERS
3. Mikaesu

The first two are funny and the third one I actually, well sorta anyway, saw it being made. The other ones are harder to believe, but still entirely possible.

So yeah. Hilarious.

[Donnington]

Well I guess I'll vote.

- Suzu Kitamura
- Legendary
- Sherry Wine

[Lover Boy]

If Donnington's self-vote counts, then mine does as well. Which means I get two other votes.

I vote for Mikaesu's and Taco Del Fish's.

[LocoColt04]

I'm guessing his doesn't count either, Daniel.


I'd nominate Legendary and Suzu Kitamura, but it looks like they have enough to continue to the poll. As such, I'll nominate other people who deserve it.

1. Ecks
2. Mikaesu
3. Sherry Wine

Also, valentine89 should probably be disqualified, as I can spot vector art anywhere. That was done with the pen tool in either Photoshop or Illustrator. Those lines are far too accurate with the shades of grey emphasising "crisp" curves to have been done in Paint. It's not pixel art. Unless there's a full size version of this somewhere (the text is small and blurry, leading me to believe there's a larger one hiding somewhere) which can prove me wrong...

(forgive me if I AM wrong, but I just can't believe that)

OoOo

1. DOnnington
2. Ecks
3. Valentine89

...my opinion.

[Strong Bad]

You can't be serious Loco.... I'd say Valentine's is the only one that actually looks like it WAS done in paint. Either way, it will still be included in the nominations.

As far as voting for yourself... I don't really see the problem with it. I mean, you're going to vote for yourself when the poll is made, right? Right. I'm just not too sure where Neo stands on this one.

So yeah, no self nominations according to Necron's post. Which I would tend to have to agree with, since voting for yourself is bias. The creators either should not nominate at all, or pick someone other than themselves. And they should not even be allowed to vote, because as Strong Bad said they will just vote for themselves, which means everyone starts with 1 vote, it would be a pointless vote. But that is just my opinion.

[LocoColt04]

Or, make the votes public (for the actual voting), and disqualify anyone who votes for him or herself. That way, they can either not vote at all, or vote for another participant who they feel deserves to win the competition.

I actually used the curved line tool and the circles to give it smooth edges. Thanks for notifying me about the size. I used photobucket to load it up, which alters the file size if it is too big. My bad anyway so heres a larger copy for proof. Due to that i have now posted it on my MSNspace so it can be seen in it's full size.

Anyway, my nominations are:
1) Sherry Wine
2) Legendary
3) Taco
