I'm guessing that there are no more keys available through firingsquad. The Open beta begins soon though, you'll be able to get a key then directly from Turbine. » Login to reply to this

Public voting was destroyed by well.. the public. A few people decided to cheat the system. I'm glad that the firingsquad editors decided to even out the playing field. The #1 rated screen shot was not even close to the best screen shot. I think we can all agree that the dear over the head screen shot did not deserve to win this contest. Funny how it was one of the few that magically got a bunch of high votes the last couple days. » Login to reply to this  hipcheck (301)   Mar 14, 2007 - 04:08 pm true, but it makes one wonder about the necessity of having votes in the first place. it is also interesting that these votes were so low, but in the writing cluster they are high... and then in the video cluster low again. » Login to reply to this

I don't think it's over until a winner is officially announced. The editors may still have to vote. At this point, voting is only closed to cluster members and contest participants. » Login to reply to this  formulatroll (49)   Mar 14, 2007 - 12:51 pm | Edited on Mar 14, 2007 - 12:52 pm Sweetness. I knew the highest "rated" screenshots weren't worthy of winning.

I've done a pretty honest rating. The highest entry I have is a 9, and that was for a screen shot that I requested (formulatroll's split view graphical settings with water). Most of the screen shots fall in the 4-8 scale range for me. » Login to reply to this  hipcheck (301)   Mar 12, 2007 - 01:59 pm yeah, I've rated everything 5-10. my avg rating is prolly 7.5, which is higher than any aggregate atm. I'm sure if there were nothing at stake (and people were still posting these, for some reason!) then we'd see lots of 8's and 9's. » Login to reply to this  hipcheck (301)    Mar 12, 2007 - 02:55 pm seriously, the better it is, the lower it goes, because people see it as a threat and give it a 1. just watch the math of it... as soon as your entry gets a lead, it gets tagged, and you can easily see how low of a vote it got. I do not mind if someone gives me a 4 or something if they do not like it, but I get lots of 1 votes. just look at my video editor entry, almost half my votes are 1`s » Login to reply to this  Distort (54)    Mar 12, 2007 - 02:40 pm With how a few of these are currently rated.. I just don't get it.. » Login to reply to this

I've tried to rate everything as honestly as possible. I know there are some who are playing games though, as a number of my better shots received ratings of '1' just before the original contest deadline last night. I'm particularly proud of my "View Distance Comparison" shot. It took a little while to find the perfect setting for it. I think it's my best shot, but the ratings don't seem to bear that out. :P » Login to reply to this  formulatroll (49)   Mar 12, 2007 - 07:16 pm In the interest of full disclosure and fair play, I've explained all my ratings. Take that! » Login to reply to this  hipcheck (301)    Mar 12, 2007 - 08:11 pm that there, that is most outstanding. » Login to reply to this

I'm in the same boat sqitso, I have made all of my movies 10 seconds because of the limit. View my movies, they are all (except for 1) 10 seconds or less. Probably my favorite video that I made is: » Book 1; Chapter 1; The death of Amdir And Graphical Glitches.. And... well, I guess I like most of them :) » Login to reply to this

There are quite a few under 10 seconds. They all happen to be from the same person, but that's beside the point. » Login to reply to this
