Re: Winning House Designs from EA Japan's 4th House Customization Contest
I re-read Athos' post this morning and realized that these are the entries that were submitted and accepted. The voting ends at the end of November.
There's a link in one of Athos' posts that takes you to a form to submit your vote (i.e., message of recommendation). (Form:
http://japan.ea.com/webform/webform/uo/housedesign/msg.) I think you can vote for multiple houses but have to submit a separate form for each one. (The form brings up a picture of each of the 52 houses with a button next to each one. Click the button of the house you're voting for.) Your "message of recommendation" might end up being viewable to the public, but you have the option to say whether or not you want to make your voting character's name and shard viewable to the public. The character that you list on your vote form must exist on one of these shards: Asuka, Hokuto, Izumo, Mizuho, Sakura, Wakoku, Yamato, or Mugen.
In order, here is a rough Google translation of the form text when you get to the boxes at the bottom after the list of houses:
"Work to support the message (required)." This is a free-form box that I believe you need to fill in with a message about WHY you like the house you voted for on that particular form.
"Your character name (required)." Make sure it's a character on one of the above-listed shards.
"Schard name (required)." You pick a shard from the above list of eight shards.
"What you send may be published. If so, do you want to publish the name of your schard and character name? (required)" The options, in order, are: Yes, publish either one. Yes, you can publish both my schard and character name. No, don't publicize my schard and character name.
