Custom Contest FAQs

Q: Since there are too many entries for one poll will there be a "finalists" poll that has the top entries from each poll, or will the winner be whoever gets the most votes out of all the polls?
A: There will be a "finalists" poll which be made up the winner from each of the first, or Round One (R1), polls.

Q: Can I vote in each poll, or do I just vote for my favorite entry out of all of them?
A: You can vote once in each poll that is put up.

Q: If there is more than one round of polls what will their timeframe be?
A: Typically the timeframe for a poll will be 3-5 days depending on the number of entries. The more entries, the more time I will give for everyone to thoroughly evaluate all the entries.

Q: How are ties broken?
A: If there is a tie in R1, all cards involved in the tie will proceed to the finalists round (R2). If there is tie in R2, there will be a third round (R3) which will be comprised of all the cards involved in the tie from R2.

Q: Where are the polls going to be placed? In the Custom Unit Section? Or this contest section?
A: The polls will always be posted in the Contests Sub-forum.
Q: Which time zone's "midnight" are you using as the submission cutoff?

A: I am taking into consideration the time zone that the entrant lives in. All things considered, that seems the most fair (ie, if someone in the eastern time zone and someone in the pacific time zone both get home from work at 6pm to work on their card before the deadline, the person in the eastern time zone would get three extra hours to work on it if I hold all entries to my time zone).

Now, if an entrant does not have a location listed in their profile, then I will hold them to my own time zone (Central).

I'd say 3 but it's a bit subjective and close. Also, I'm not sure yet what the other poses will look like (I think one is gonna be more wave looking but we're still refining them). Finals are over so hopefully I'll get #2 sculpt this week.

All right, so just go with Small 3.

I really don't know if a squad of Elementals is possible within the rules without a power that keeps them from being moved with Master of the Elements.

[sixthflagbearer]

Actually, if you think about it, Kurrok can just choose to activate one, two, or all three.

I'm kinda thinking it might be cool if they could be moved if the order marker is on the fire elemental but it will be interesting to see what people come up with!

[Yodaking]

I'm interested in seeing what comes out of this. Auggie, do you have other elemental squads in the pipeline too? Water, Earth, Air, Ice, Shadow, etc.

*edit* Just a quick idea since I'm not entering the contest. Kurrok can move small and medium elementals with his power, so if these guys were listed as Tiny 2, they would not be activated by Kurrok.

Yes though I hadn't thought of Shadow or SMOKE...either could be cool! I think water was next but that's not set in stone.
