I'd prefer it if you posted here so I can make an organized list so it's less work on Oda.

Huh. Interesting. Surprised the CoD, cake hat, and black magician hat didn't win anything.

Edited my original post nonetheless.

If everyone can do it before tomorrow I can hand him an easy master list and have it done chopchop ^^

 

A lot of people made it into the final bracket and Oda is well known for his eclectic tastes. His choices might not be perfect, but I think they are much preferable to players making the decisions, since everyone would start flinging the bias poo. The choices he did pick were among the highest score on the 5/5/5 scale, which were decided by Campitor, so it was a team effort. 

 

Like I said, everyone will be getting a little surprise, so don't get too saddened.

I'd honestly rather see players make the decisions, since my headgear got the highest amount of upvotes, but didn't place even out of six possible winning slots. :P

 

I'm trying not to be a poor sport about it though, since I knew from the start I wouldn't win as long a s Oda was the judge lol.

 

Now Im going to go kill some people in pvp while wearing my rl crown of deceit, like a true nerd.

Well, I'm not really saddened since mine only took a few hours, but I'm sure the cake hat and black magician took much longer (one took a least 4 days according to the post). Tame's also arguably looked the best. Sometimes I question Oda's judgement, which makes these things... disappointing at times. Maybe you should have just had like 8 first bracket winners, lol.

Thanks for having the participation prizes, though. I'm excited to see what they are.

Well I managed to win in the originality bracket yeey!!

I also edited my entry post with my IGN, I'll post it here too anyways:

 

IGN: Aromaessence

 

Oda is well known for his eclectic tastes.

 

When I heard this in the stream I forgot to take in mind the judges taste :gg: ....i mean what?

still, congrats to everyone!! and it's nice to see that EVERYONE is getting something, it may not be the glorious heavenly made sakura crown but hey! it's nice and that should do <3

Question: Was Oda given the steps to make the finished product, or was he just given pictures of the completed thing? Was he also given the list of materials since that was said to be weighted in the judging process?

I understand, but at the same time I don't trust up votes. Why you ask? Because I once won a contest that way looong ago. I posted on fb for my friends to vote for me and thus it was so (not against the rules, but when it becomes about who has the most friends it's kind of lame). Not that you did that, but just for example of why I don't trust it. Plus, remember the voting contest against another game we had for double exp and someone botted the polls which resulted in Ragnarok being disqualified? It's just not something I can rely on. Our community isn't very honest that way.

 

You were definitely up there though. You did an amazing job. Honestly if a player were to be the judge it would just result in a battle of who has the most friends, or one person being attacked by the community over "bias" or "corruption". :/ Otherwise, I would love to do a community vote.

 

And it has nothing to do with you, honestly. There are people with way worse of a posting history than you who have won in the past. Hell, the fact that certain individuals aren't banned from forums yet speaks volumes (you can all use your imagination and I'm sure it will vary per person but everybody always thinks of 1 person they could live without on here). Don't beat yourself up :/ ...

They were given direct links to the posts instead of photos like in the past. That is one thing I strived to improve. Every event gets a little better each time. I started by creating a word document with a title of each hat and a photograph of the in-game hat and item description. Then I linked to the actual individual posts. Each Section had a little blurb on how to rate it out of 5. When Campitor had graded them all, it was shipped back to me which in turn was organized and reshipped to Oda, who made the final decision.

It's all good. 

 

Nobody can accuse me of having too many friends here though lol, most people here hate me (or are at the very least annoyed by me), which is my own fault for the drama I sometimes cause.

I don't hate you either. ^-^ And to be fair, your entry was one of my personal favorites.

 

Grats to the winners though, there were a lot of really nice entries.

The COD should have won. One person making the decisions in a contest like this is more biased than any amount of 'Friends' up voting a single entry. At least the later issue can be resolved through legitimate means.

Regardless, congratulations to the winners.

I was surprised no one attempt a magnolia hat since that's Oda's favorite monster.

There is no "should have won" - it was based on an opinion. It would be nice to have a community vote but among the problems Cinquine listed, there's a good chance it would become a popularity contest.

 

Maybe if in the future entries were submitted anonymously? I mean of course people could still tell their friends to vote for their own entries but maybe it'd be a little more fair...

I highly encourage people to contact Oda if they are interested in doing events. The whole reason I started doing this in the first place was because I didn't like that forum events at the time only really catered to one type of player: the kind who could draw.

 

Honestly I think it's fresher when it's not the same three people doing it all the time.

I'd love to do more events. I love to sculpt. I just get disheartened knowing that the judge doesn't like me.
