Then why is multiple homes an advantage if not for more space? Same as the difference in a small and a large home no?Also, for those of you that are making comments about "Larger homes should be banned to accommodate those with smaller homes" please... A home is a home and even a small home could be well designed and win. (Size does not matter when it comes to design)
You don't quite understand what I've been saying.Then why is multiple homes an advantage if not for more space? Same as the difference in a small and a large home no?
Nope i only entered the middle house. from now on i will not be entering any more contests i am going to make my homes privte and keep my deco to myself and my guild mates and friends. someones always got to cry about something. merry christmas to allThe owner of the house didn't post the pictures, I did. I was not privy as to whether one house or all three houses were entered.
Noone is saying it's your fault either. Your "I can't please everybody so I'll quit post" is quite sad. Why would you quit because there seems to be an advantage with the way things were posted by someone else? I fail to see your logic behind that other then creating more drama of people saying "Don't stop just because others have problems with what's happening." posts...Nope i only entered the middle house. from now on i will not be entering any more contests i am going to make my homes privte and keep my deco to myself and my guild mates and friends. someones always got to cry about something. merry christmas to all

I'm merely stating that ONE home was submitted for the contest correct? The middle home... But for the voting process, 3 different homes are shown for that one entry. That's the unfair advantage.
With this statement, that's what I see as an unfair advantage. If I were to choose out of their 3 homes shown, I would choose the last house over the "middle house." BUT that technically would not help the middle home entry effectively in this poll, as that is not the official entry. Whereas if the poll included the other two homes separately, the middle home would not get my vote because it would be on the 3rd of their homes. See how that can sway a vote?But I don't think that anyone that visits those houses will realize that just one of them was submitted.
i dont see it as making more drama. i dont need the drama is what i am saying. so if i dont enter anymore Contests then noone tell me how unfair my work is to them. the thing is they can do just as good of a job as i do. if they belive in them self and put in the work to make it heppen.Noone is saying it's your fault either.

Of course I can see how having three creatively decorated houses can sway the vote....I just don't think it is an unfair advantage.See how that can sway a vote?
Apples/OrangesI mean here's a comparison for you.
I have multiple computers, multiple UO accounts, maybe even multiple personalities, and if I had multiple Stratics accounts, I could vote multiple times for a specific house. Would this be fair? No, because I am one person. One person, one vote. Very similar to the One entry (middle house) should only have one picture (and excluded from the tour). But since this competition has lended the ability for one house to have multiple pictures, I suppose it shouldn't exclude one person from having multiple Stratics accounts to vote multiple times.
I don't disagree with you about people believing in themselves and their work. I don't have a problem with multiple people pooling together resources on one home as it's teamwork. And I'm not saying that you're at fault. I commend the effort and detail the 3 homes are with each other, I think you did an outstanding job overall. But the middle house was entered. Therefore it should be the only house evaluated by the people voting, not the other homes included with helping people decide. This was a mistake in how this event was run. And I apologize if these comments dissuade you from entering more contests like this as I think you should continue as you do good work. But, the simple fact that this contest was strewn from the beginning sort of creates some issues.i dont see it as making more drama. i dont need the drama is what i am saying. so if i dont enter anymore Contests then noone tell me how unfair my work is to them. the thing is they can do just as good of a job as i do. if they belive in them self and put in the work to make it heppen.
as far as the pics i did not take them noone told you to step on the tellys to the other houses the middle one was entered. and no i wont take out tellys its how i get into my homes. but like i said i am done with this crap. nomore contests and dealing with cry babysI happened on this contest from the event post and I have to agree, the contest is a bit one sided. If you don't read all the post below and just visit the houses and go by the pics then the Grinch home has a clear advantage. When you visit the "Grinch House" you are actually visiting 3 as the pics show and they would never have been able to do all the decorations in one house with the way its layed out. So Miss Smoucher needs to dry her eyes and take out the teleports. If anyone wants to see her incredible work then they can walk over to the other two. I agree with the Lord Clay guy. The middle house did nothing for me either!
You don't quite understand... Noone is upset about the use of items. It's the fact that 3 homes were shown for 1 homes entry that makes it an unfair advantage. Like I mentioned before, if I had to choose between the 3 of your homes, my vote would have been for the 3rd. Which some people would look at those homes and say, your 3rd home so I'm voting for that person. But their 2nd choice would have been one of your homes and they didn't know that your entry only consisted of the "middle home" which they did not like. Thus making it an unfair advantage that people can be swayed to vote that way.if it did nothing for you then vote for someone else. It is a deco contest and we did not take any pictures of the house to post that was someone else. Here is the thing it was a deco contest we dont have a unfair advantage we did not use items that other players could not get, we did not use anything special that anyone else could not use. the only thing we had extra was space that anyone who put their time and effort into could have. With this being said good luck to all and i hope you enjoy all the wonderful decoed houses. I do appoligize for upsetting anyone.
you didnt like my middle home? what part of it didnt you like i mean i didnt have grass in my home. i didnt cut cornnors to deco it. i went all out on it. but you didnt like it thanks.You don't quite understand...

Well, we're all entitled to our own opinion. Compared to your groups 3rd home, the middle home was a bit lacking for me.( I felt the 3rd home was extremely creative in style). However, we're talking about the middle home.
While I appreciate the amount of work put in, I find the heavy use of snowmen, presents, candles and poinsettias to line the front wall a bit heavy. The tallest building is somewhat overwhelming and design isn't to my liking (personal preference of course). The small homes on top of the tower building didn't make all that much sense with the style either. I did like the use of the modern Christmas trees to form one large tree as well as the general multi home with path style.[/QUOTE
you know what with this in mind you dont know what your talking about. i will not be back to even look at what you have to say i know i am a great decoer and dont need to see your mean words and its all you seem to have to say. you have a great christmas.
Maybe I will enter mine. But you entered your homes and we all have our own right to give an opinion on them do we not? This is a forum is it not? You entered into a contest. Be prepared to hear criticism as not everyone will like your work. Thus the saying "You can't please them all."that is your right as a voter but maybe next time you will enter your home instead of talking about others on stratics. all i am saying on this matter. done deal. good luck everyone i hope all have a merry christmas and a happy new year.
Atleast the grinch house has a theme and they do it well, rest are just junk locked down.
Not to create any fights or anything, but if you have separate accounts, one for news posting and one for your personal opinion/posts, then why would your personal post account have your signature picture that has your News posting name on it?P.S. Whenever I post official news related articles as a staff member of UOstratics, I post as "Fallon Valor" with my staff account. Anything posted by "Syrus of Gahd" is an expression of my own opinions - nothing more.
