Tier for technique,
And Nihilyst for idea.


(NOW Gimme a cookie, Jim )

[Jim Reed]

Vote by categories, or no cookie =P

So to make it clear for future voters, you need to cast three votes, please.

[Jim Reed]

Sure, I have one packed up that Matt gave to me. He said he diped it in cyanidesomething. =)

As for voting....
Best feeling/idea : Dataflashsabot - 'cause I really know that feeling well.
Technique : Tier (Matt). Although I could say Jakerpot or nihilyst, and feel no different =)
Usefullness: Amidst all these hardly useable BeeGees I'll pick FSi, and you can all say I'm biased.

Heck, the most important thing is that we had plenty of entries, so everybody could practice their backgrounding skills.

I predict a struggle between Tier and nihilyst for the first place, but I could be wrong on that account.

[Dataflashsabot]

My vote:
Idea - Al_Ninio. I love conspiracy theories!
Technique - Tier. Very peaceful, makes me want to lie on the bank and listen to the rushing water...
Usefulness - abstauber. Particularly good for something along the lines of the end of 5 Days a Stranger.

[FSi++]

OK, VOTING

Idea - how original/cool/nice the emotion the author is aiming for
nihilyst - for no reason

Technique - how well did the author depict the feeling he was aiming for
Matt / Tier / Whatever. Surely the best one of the herd.

Usefullnes - Which BG would be best suited for a game
NsMn. For being a mixture of Rawrschach and 007 IT IS WELL-SUITED TO BE AN INTRO SEQUENCE FOR AN AWESOME GAME!

[Matt Frith]

Idea: nihilyst - Just seems like an interesting emotion to portray.
Technique: FSi - Whenever, I look at your background,  it makes me feel a little sad and lonely!
Usefulness: Abstauber - There is a well defined foreground area for some puzzly fun to take place in.

[Jim Reed]

We need more votes, please.

[Chicky]

Idea: Al_Ninio - Surrealistic atmosphere and nice use of mixed resolution.
Technique: Tier - Lovely detail as always.
Usefulness: Tier - Good puzzle potential and playing area.

[abstauber]

Idea: nihilyst - disturbingly cool
Technique: Tier - best composition, colorchoice and everything else... except for the trees
Usefulness: Tier - makes me want to cross that waterfall

[Theme]

abstauber: 5 votes (1 technique, 4 usefullnes)
nihilyst: 4 votes (4 idea)
FSi: 3 votes (1 in each category)
Al_Ninio: 2 votes (2 idea)
Dataflashsabot and I_stole_your_car had one vote each (idea).
NsMn and Jakerpot had one vote each also (usefullness)

Unfortunately, Jide and Odysseus didn't get any votes this time. Lucky for them we have loads of trophies!

I'm proud to award the gold trophy to Tier!
The silver one goes to abstauber.
The bronze trophy falls into the hands of nihilyst.
Odysseus gets the ice trophy.
Jakerpot (as he so likes it) can have the fire one.
Dataflashsabot grabs the glass trophy.
FSi steals the famous wooden trophy.
NsMn, our best guy around, gets the straw trophy.
Al_Ninio wins the EGA one.
I_stole_your_car holds the shadow trophy.
And last, but surely not the least...
Jide goes home with his brand new paper trophy!

Congratulations Matt!
You know what to do.

Thank you all for particpating and voting, I hope you don't slack off on the next competition. =P

Jakerpot (as he so likes it) can have the fire one.
