Got stuck in voting loop for OOPE "Rate the Avatar above you" crowd last night.
Makes me wonder if there're any subliminal messages.

I find some avatars way more interesting and would say have much more character than Brit Green, for instance, Obenov or TheMean Machine, not to mention many others. I still wonder why Sansha Kuvakei is still there, though i bet this is the reasonWhat?

the eye is very quick to see contrast, and if it's striking enough to hold the viewer's attention, their conscious mind begins to analyze it. there's a bit of psychology behind it.

Akita, the site was just using the elo system before changing yesterday. It proved to be too easy to manipulate, much like this current system Ugh

As long as there's only a few visitors and every visitor gets infinite votes, everything becomes fairly trivial to manipulate, so no point even mentioning it as a drawback of the way the top 100 is calculated.
But we weren't talking about manipulation anyway, rather relevance of the top ASSUMING that all votes would have been genuine (even if we're fairly sure they weren't and never will be).

i think i'm being downvoted on purpose. last i looked i was at 52% or something. so unless when my avatar gets rolled i'm going up against hardcore favorites almost everytime...then i'm being screwed with. because there are lots of very bad avatars on that thing.

i don't think i'm going to go back to that site. if i do i'll be tempted to just downvote everyone with a winning record over and over out of spite.

Welcome to my world XD
Seems like there are different people now voting, lol

Well, at least Kate is on #1 =)

I've come to the conclusion people are jealous of Akirei's good looks. Cool

Also, WTH is Mizhir doing in spot #3?? I must admit, I don't get the appeal some people seem to see in that portrait. To me she looks good for a Vherokir, but that's about it. I am kinda dreading reactivating my old Vherokir alt.

I am surpriced to still find me there.

But I think its the OOPE mafia who got me there and who keeps me there.

Edit: Atleast I get some sort of credit for making a Vherokior look not ****.

Nothing against you, it is just a race that is almost impossible to make look either good or distinctive IMO. The only one that got worse with the new character creation.

I think Khanids are in the same boat. There is definitely some room for improvement in the races.

I spent a ton of time morphing every female face and found that most of them are "hard coded" ugly.


Funny, I thought that about the male faces.

the gallente male faces seem to be good, imo. Senikal, for example, reminds me of Pete Wentz. SokoM looks like a good o'l american boy

Most male faces turn out great with every poke of the "random" button.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

as long as the sides of the skull/face are flat, they look athletic/fit. can't really mess it up.

you could be male achura and look all pensive... at least you get the option of a japanese rockabilly hairdo
