Week 51-52: Voting
Happy One Year Anniversary! Hey, look, I'm on time. A huge thank you to everyone that could participant in this week's Triptych contest! We've managed to secure 31 triptychs... but wait. Triptych means three icons per set, so that's 93 icons total. You guys have really outdone yourselves. This will be a very awesome competition. *_*
---------------
ALL VOTERS READ THIS SECTION.
You will vote for the triptychs (the icon sets) like in a normal contest when you vote for your top three favorites. After that you will place two votes for each of the three special categories (Most Creative, Best Typography, and Best Show of Emotion). Examples of how to do it below:
How to vote for Triptych sets:
1st: 43
2nd: 59
3rd: 33
Please make it clear as to which is your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices because votes will be weighted. 1st choice will get 3 pts, 2nd choice 2 pts, and 3rd choice 1 pt.
Next! How to vote for the special categories. For these please vote for your TWO favorites:
Most Creative: C34, C51
Best Typography: T34, T51
Best Show of Emotion: E34, E51
In the example above the C34, T34, and E34 are all first choices so they're listed first. Then the 51's are the second choices. Please put them in this order because votes will be weighted. First choice will get 2 pts. and 2nd choice 1 pt.
You MUST write down a total of nine numbers for your vote (top 3 triptych sets, top 2 most creative, top 2 best typography, top 2 best show of emotion) or we will not count your vote. If you mess up we'll let you know so you may revote. Remember that you may not vote for yourself, and you must be a member in order to vote.

PLUG: moonie_awards - a monthly nominating Sailor Moon icontest
EDIT: nyaabo and I have decided since this contest is so big that it would be nice to do an anonymous ranking (a la clamp_icontest) at the end of the contest so everyone can see where their icons ranked. It will be anonymous we won't be revealing your names, just the number of your set/icon and where it stood against the others. If you do not want your rank to be revealed, please leave a comment here and let us know. Thanks!
EDIT2: ARGH. I messed up the numbers on Most Creative so there were two C05's. I changed the second C05 to C20, so if you happened to vote for it I need you to check your vote. Sorry for this major mistake. I'm going to comment to everyone that has voted for C05 and have you all check your votes. I've left all other numbers the same. Please let us know that you checked for vote if you voted for C05. If you do not respond and let us know if your vote is changing/staying, we will have to discard it. It is dire that you check. Again, sorry for that mistake. -_-"
