Voting time!
The fantastic RRRR Story Render Contest is over, and it's time to browse those wonderful stories and vote for your favorites. Also, vote for the best of ther best among the individual images.
Anyone can vote, not only those participating in the actual contest. This time teh voting is a little special. We still have two tiers, but they are now named Story and Image, which is what they are all about.
The Story category is about the story and how it's presented visually and in text, while Image is more traditional about the individual image.
Each win (1st to 3rd place) will also give the winner at least one sticky Lucky Bastard pull, which means the next round will be a little harder, see below for how wins and Lucky Bastards are counted.

The voting starts now, and ends Sunday, June 5, at 23:59:59 DAZ local time.
How votes are tallied and summed up:
Voting points: 1st = 5 points, 2nd = 4 points, 3rd = 3 Points, 4th = 2 Points and Tiebreaker = 1 Point.
If an entry gets 1st, two 2nd, one 4th and two tiebreakers in a category, that is 5 + 2x4 + 2 + 2x1 = 17 Points
Every enrties points per category is summed up, and top three is calcutaled in each category. As we now have five prizes, a maximum of two entries from the same artist can end up top three in each category, this is to spead the joy a little more.
The image with most points from the same artist will be the base, the the average score for up to for other images will be added to that score, but if that image takes a top three placement, images who got to the cream of the crop with help from other entires, will gain extra LBs based on how many places it climbed, minus one. Here are two examples:
Example 1: The top image from X has 15 points. X also has five other images that has been voted for, 10, 8, 7, 7 & 5 points. Thaking the average of the first four images behind the top one is 10+8+7+7 = 8, so the first image which was at 4th place, now gets 23 points and rises to the top and becomes the winner. But, that image climbed 3 steps, so it will not only win, but give the winner 3 LB for the next run.
Example 2: The top image by Y has 11 points, and the second image 9 points. The top image will now have 20 points and go from 5th place to 3rd place, granting Y 2 LB for the next run.
If two images ends up with the same score, we use the same rules as in the European Song Contest, the number of higher scores wins over many lower scores, so if one image has 5+5+5+1 (16) and another has 2+2+4+4+2 (16) the first one will come before.
To avoid votespamming, anyone voting needs to post here in this thead that they did vote, and use the same name as they have posting here as the DAZ Forum Name in the first question in the vote system at SurveyMonkey.

I voted - I knew going through so much of the WIP thread just a couple of days ago would save me some time! Even so I wanted to vote for many more than 5 entries in each category, but hey ho it had to be done.
Totte - I'm surprised your flu-addled brain managed to come up with this incredibly complex set of rules - hope you are feeling better. And thanks for all the efforts you put in to make these contests work.
i voted... and would be surprised if there are not a number of ties
thanks totte in advance for all the math you ll be performing when the voting ends
I voted and wow what ahard decision it was this time around
I voted today. Sometimes I felt like I was being arbitrary. There were so many, and they were so good, how do you choose? Thanks for the great illustrated stories.
Voted... a fine selection - making for grueling decisions. Fabulous work everyone. Totte - glad you're feeling better.
Voted. So many renders... So hard to chose...
Trying to vote, but the SurveyMonkey page frequently becomes unresponsive; I cannot enter anything, the page goes blank, then repopulates, I get that message at the bottom, "... page is not responding...," repeatedly....
After more than half an hour of trying to "wait it out," I finally just said, "Screw it!"
I may try again in a couple of days....
They rely heavily on Ajax, maybe your netconnection is borked?
...And this is Reason #682,954 why I hate Javascript!
Just because it lets you do all manner of crap on the client-side, does not alter the fact that it's still crap!
I do agree to that!
I voted. Great stories and great renders. Perfect theme, Totte.
I'm a sponsor for this round, but I'll be traveling until June 16. I might not have internet much of the time while I am gone. So, I might not be able to send GCs to winners until I get back.
But I won't forget, and I'll get it taken care of as soon as I return, if I can't do it while traveling.
Have a nice time, barbult! (Assuming that you are travelling for fun reasons)
I voted and I agree it was hard to decide - so many really good stories and renders. It was a fun contest for sure.
Voted and agree with what everyone else said. The theme seems to really have pulled out the best of everyone
It sure brought out the story teller in me for sure!!!
