Ok so this might be a bit rage induced so hang on to your hats.
So I made my pirate deadpool skin for the contest thinking, surley the judges will see my attempt at a toataly kick butt looking classic pirate hat, and surley theyll love what I did with the 1.8 features.
Nope.
I wouldnt have been mad if the judges had seen it and said they didnt like it, no problem there.
Yaknow what im ticked off about tho?
I dont think the judges ever even saw it.
The finalists were judged on getting diamonds, and Im firmly anti asking for diamonds, so I was put at a disadvantage for not sounding whiny.
But thats just scratching the surface on why Im ticked off.
So, my skin is clearly better than those idiots who post a random teenage boy, but see, the problem with those random teenage boy skins, is they clutter the list.
So everyone has a 10 minute period to see my skin before its pushed down to the bottom, because of crap skins.
Ok, now lets get into what REALY makes me mad.
(No offence to the creator here, it was contest related, Im simply expressing an opinion.) Surley you can see how some skins (<-- not naming any names at owners request) on the finals are so much worse than this:
http://www.planetminecraft.com/skin/captain-piranha/
So your probably thinking, "That skin is much better done than some of the other ones, did I miss it on the finals board?" well lemme answer that question, NO YOU DID NOT.
You know why?
Because the creator of skin number one has a higher rank and more subs.
Clearly skin number one, (<-- Ill leave skin #1 up to your imagination on wich ones you thought shouldnt be finalists since the owner was not aprriecative of me using a link to his skin) will not even come close to winning when the judges see it, and it took a bare minimum amount of work to create..
Whereas skin #2 clearly has taken at least 2 hours of work, if not more.
So why the heck has skin number one made it tot he finals?
Well, creator of #1 is a moderator, and has been on alot longer than the creator of #2, therefore, evryone just gave it a diamond, because of his previous work.
Whereas #2 has done nothing but quality work, and has not been recognized because of crap skins cluttering the site.
So, pretty much in a nutshell, there were plenty of EPIC skins for the contest that were never veiwed cause of idiots (No Im not referring to #1, he actualy made a legit contest skin wether I like it or not.) posting crappy teenager skins that had absolutley nothing to do with the contest, and even if those skins had gotten veiwed, it wouldnt have done much good because people with more subs who are loyal to them (<--- take notes subscribers) would have diamonded the heck out of it.
What I propose be done: Have a team of site moderators check all skins every couple hours to make sure they are relevant to the contest, and have a team of sub judges pick the finalists, rather than scores doing it.
Oh yeah, sub finals would be nice to.

B: I didnt see anyone else doing a deadpool in a pirate hat. He's a piratepool. By your logistics this means twighlight is technically a book and movie, which its not (Its a flaming piece of crap, but thats another discuscion)
C: "I dont know if you read the rules", well I dont know if you read the blog.

Basically how the contest is right now is one big political campain less about the work and more about how you get yourself out there. I disagree it would be terribly easy to grade all of those skins. If each judge takes maybe an hour tops to grade then they can easily get them all done. Granted you don't have to grade like its the finals just grade if you think they should move on to the next round. Better than the diamond system because the move views you get the more diamonds you are bound to get. For instance I was in a facebook contest once and it was for a helment. To win you needed to get the most likes on a photo. My photo just generic and pretty lame compared to the others. Only reason why I won was because I asked every person I knew to like it. That's similar to what you see with PMC contests. They don't see every skin so there might be the diamond in the rough that they miss which isn't right and not a true contest.
