Creative Cape Contest

[safira]

[glow=Yellow,2,300]Welcome back[/glow]

you can now all see what capes have been voted on by you. However there is no winner yet...We dont want 26% of the votes for a design, but at least 50%.

So as stated earlier in this thread (further down everytime I edit this post lol) there is another round of voting. This 2nd round of voting will generate the two most wanted designs.

You can vote in that poll here theforum2006.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=polls&thread=237

If this 2nd round doesnt produce a >50% winner (hard to tell, it seems likely), those two designs will then be voted on once more, during an in game celebration/selection. Any ties will be decided on by the people online at that moment (so be there ).

The celebration/selection will take place at monday february 8th, at 19:15 GMT (that's 20:15 CET). If you can't be there but do like to cast your vote during this in game selection/celebration (please do! -begging puppy eyes), please tell Katya your vote and all will be ok

Thanks again for all your attention and have fun voting

Thanks for all the beautiful designs!

I have edited this post to fit in all designs. We have also put all designs in one format (char, PC, gamma settings etc.) so that except from the designs itself, everything else looks the same...more or less lol.

Up on the poll you can vote for any 1 design of your choice. Capes with at least 2 votes are selected for the next voting rounds after this first round is completed (will last a week).

Second voting round comes next week, with the designs that won the first round. This round is also on this forum and will have to produce three winners (katya and I judging any ties).

With the three winning designs there will be a last in-game voting round and a small celebration when the winning design is put in place.

Now...no more ranting from my side... ....Here are the designs to vote on:

[glow=yellow,2,300]Hello guildies![/glow]
Some months ago conversations started about merging [ZOO] with [TLS].
We have also been talking about changing our now joint Cape to mark our future together. And we want to involve as much guildies in this creative process as possible. This means you too .

Why merge?
Widespread decrease of players’ interest in GW will see some if not many guilds grow smaller and fade away. Because we (some ZOO and TLS members) became friends and wanted to stick together through 2010 we decided to combat this with merging (to start with).

Why change the cape?
In our conversations it became clear that it is no small thing to disband a guild that has been together for 4 to 5 years. To ease the pain a bit and to mark our future together we decided to change tha cape (a little bit of sacrifice for both).


[glow=yellow,2,300]The Creative Cape Contest Event[/glow]
So we were thinking to change the cape into something new and to combine that with a forum event for all of us.
We would like all creative guildies to design a cape in the next 2 weeks. You can PM your design to Katya ([e-mail]). Add a maximum of 3 designs (screenshots) as attachments. After collection of all designs Katya will post them in 1 thread and all guildies can then vote for a design of their choice. Please dont automatically vote for your own design but pick the most beautiful one!
The start- and end date for voting will also be anounced in the guild anouncement box.

People who dont know how to create a capedesign and then send it as a screenshot to Katya, please contact Katya or me and we will help you with great pleasure

Well, thats all folks, watch the guild anouncement box closely for the ‘procedure’

[katya]

Hey all

Thanks for all the designs you're going to send to me

For those who don't know how to create a cape design:

Go to our Guild Hall. Look around for the Guild Emblemer. Talk to him and you can experiment with the designs as much as you want.
But don't worry, you can't change them Only a leader can do that. That's why you have to make a screenshot of your design and send it to me.
I'm waiting for your mails
In case you don't want to reveal your e-mail address to me, you can also send me a PM here on the forum.

Katja.

I would like to participate, however, I dont know what zoo's cape looks like! Can you help me out? Thanks,

Victor

[katya]

Victor,

we're making a new cape. You can choose anything you like, doesn't have to be anything like ZOO cape or TLS cape, it's going to be brand new We will change our cape according to the design that gets the most votes.

Katja.

[hayden]

Ok Katya, Thanks for the info,

Victor

what happens if each cape only gets one vote ??

In that case, I get to pick my own design... Just kidding ;D

Don't worry, it'll be ok. We're waiting for more votes. Let's see how it goes first and then decide what to do, should that happen. Seems we are all so creative, there are too many beautiful designs to choose from...

[Loreena]

if we get too few votes, maybe we should extend the deadline. One week was maybe not enough.

[safira]

Extending the deadline will most likely mean the poll needs to be done anew.

With fewer votes however, we can make the capes with only 1 vote also pass to the next round. I was no fan of that because then we could have had too many designs passing if the votes were spread for whatever reason (selecting 15 capes out of 17 designs?).
But with, say, 10 votes that means a maximum of 10 capes pass and that still means a real cut (from the 17) so that would be ok.

I'm in the belief that we should deal with the votes that are cast this week. We are using enough ways to make people vote. And it looks like some designs will have more than 1 vote already...with I guess at least 3 people still waiting to vote ;-)

In short, I agree with Kat. Let's see what the results are and discuss them later if needed ^^. Muchos possiblos

[No Woking Furries]

Conundrum time... I like design 14, but dislike the tail design of the cape... So can the design be chosen, then the actual cape shape, or this is a done deal in a one off vote? I don't mind, but will influence which one I vote for.

I was not the biggest fan of the current cape, (which is common knowledge), so I didn't show it. So I would rather vote for one that I might possibly wear, over a cape with a superior design, that would never be worn.

Comments?

[safira]

We have not yet discussed this Mike, although I have been thinking about it from the start.

I can give you my thoughts, but it is of course not only up to me ;-).
When voting it would be the best thing to consider the design 100% fixed; We can't predict why a designer has put certain things in his/her cape. Not to mention why people have voted on a particular design (perhaps the tail was an important factor). Emblem, color, tail, all can be picked on purpose.

In practice my guess is that things are not so fixed, but we cant assume that any modification has the consent of the designer.

So I'd say that any (if at all) modifications of the displayed designs are proposed after a design is selected and carried out only with the consent of the designer and the entire officer board.

I like design 4 so much, but I would rather have the color of the emblem white ;-). IF I vote for this design I must assume that the color remains as it is (and not white) but after selection I could ask the designer of this cape if the emblem color could be changed to white? Please? Beg? Or I could vote for design 10, but perhaps I dont like the emblem lol...etc. etc.

That's my 2 cents in the bag ;-)

[No Woking Furries]

Then let's proceed knowing that the cape designs are fixed, and that no changes are to be expected... otherwise members will want to make changes to other capes, and... so it would go on...

So I suggest we go with the majority vote with the choices submitted. In the case of a draw, then a vote will determine between the two.

DESIGN 11



OK, guys, this is it. The new cape has been chosen. ;D
The finale in game surprised us all as the runner up got the most votes. Most of the people who already voted on this forum were online so I have to say the vote was fair. Even though design Nr. 4 got one more vote on the forum, Nr. 11 looked far better in game. The result was 9:2 for Nr. 11.
The winner is Merijn, congratulations.
Guys, I hope you all like our new cape. Wear it well
