EVE General Discussion

Why shouldn't you be up there? You have a nice pic. :)

Know what is funny, I didn't even add this character - someone else did. I wasn't planning on participating in the contest because...you know...I'd win.

OK - I will let you in on a little secret. I know the person that is manipulating the rating of a character to #1. She is a very dear friend of mine and she didn't write a script. It is a browser glitch. She found it easily. It is not her toon however, it is another persons. So do not blame Braeda Darro.

Anyway, she decided to make a point that your web program for your website is borked. Your website is easily manipulated due to the very nature of your system. People were manipulating it from the start. Up voting their toons and down voting others. Look at Brit Green and Commissar Kate. They were in an up and down voting match.

One of the things that is wrong is that the same characters were popping up over and over again and others were not even showing up. How is that fair? Also, putting a skip button in is wrong. Allowing people to flip past and only vote for the character they liked.

It is cool that you created this website.

Maybe you should re-think how voting takes place or just remove voting entirely and allow people to just look at characters and make comments. Just a suggestion. :)

People in EVE are very competitive and they'll do whatever it takes to win. It seems to be the nature of the the player base.

Girl you fine. Let the haters hate and the cheaters cheat.

On another note, it is entirely unfair to male avatars. I know from my own personal experience that if a male and female avatar are put up against the other, I'll click the girl no matter what. Because clicking the dude might make me question my own sexuality and I've already been to University.

Yes, and you did win when it did count I do also like the new look for Ariel Dawn. It is fun to see people switch up their avatars. I resculpted this character 6 or 7 times at the end of last year when the option became available. By the last couple I noticed I was just flipping back and forth between very minor details and freckles that could only be seen in side by side comparisons so I think this will be it for now.

The most important thing is for you to like your character's look. We all have different traits that we find attractive and it is not surprising if the rest of the player base do not agree with you. I tend to go for the no cheekbone and a very dainty jawline look. I'm also a fan of noses and deep set eyes so Gallente/Gallente was an easy choice. I believe the female Sebeistor, Civire, and Achura features however, tend to be more popular amongst players.

I'm sad to hear that and I wish you find a way to prevent lamers from sucking.

this may be a generalization...but i think it's rather telling about the state of a persons life when they feel they must manipulate votes on a avatar contest site. i mean...really? lol you must be real fun to play board games with.

What if you required people to register to vote? Another suggestion...what if votes were tied to the account that you registered with and once you cast a vote for a particular character - it disables the ability to cast another vote for that same character? Couldn't you do something like this to stop people from stacking votes?

There is nothing you can create that we cannot mock, and then destroy.

I don't think people were actually abusing it (at least I didn't see major vote inflation when I looked at it a couple hours before it went down); being stateless was a pretty obvious flaw though.
