Weird no one has come here and said "yeah I have seen my item 5 or 6 times"


Finally saw my item. It was in fine company, so I'm feeling pretty good.

Three times now, but I have seen a couple items a dozen times.

Finally, but it took a significant number of votes to get to it.

Finally saw mine after three days of hours-long voting sprees.

I'm ecstatic that it is in there and I think I can be less obsessive now.

Now the worry can set in about how it's performing...

That's because the odds of me seeing MY item twice is much, much, much lower than the odds of seeing ANY item twice. It's the Birthday Problem in action!

Probability Theory and Voting Method problems all in one crazy event? I should start setting this process up as a Statistics curriculum for next year.

I finally saw my item! :-D

I'm so happy. I hope many folks have been voting for it!

RPG Superstar 2012 Top 16 , Star Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7 aka Aelryinth

Seen mine twice!

This, in a nutshell.

Except for the last part; I'm reasonably confident there are enough items better than mine to not be particularly concerned about how mine's performing. Tending my wounds, taking notes, and hoping to do better next time around.

Dedicated Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8, Dedicated Voter Season 9

Oh my eyes hurt and still no luck. But having seen some of the items that made it in I'm no longer worried that I was DQ.

I kid you not, I just saw the same item three times in a row! How crazy is that? Still waiting to see mine however.

Liberty's Edge Dedicated Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7

::sigh:: Have yet to see mine. Saw one or two similar, however.

I know exactly how you feel, bud! Wouldn't it be crazy coincidental if we submitted similar items?

Ditto, actually. I've certainly seen worse stuff than mine, but I have a feeling my item is squarely in the middle somewhere.

Nevertheless, I still have that lingering anxiety that insists I broke some cardinal rule of game design and, as punishment, I am actually ranked somewhere between an "Originally created by my PC to break the crap out of the game" item and an "I saw this on Star Trek and made up my own formatting" item.

Dedicated Voter Season 6

I saw my item in the fifth or sixth pairing, but then didn't see it again for two days, then saw it again - so that's twice in 4 days of voting. I have seen many, more than a dozen times - and those were especially bad ones. I was starting to worry with so many repeats and mine only appearing twice, or what that possibly means.

Star Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8, Star Voter Season 9

Saw mine finally. Now I can rest.

I'm at the same point. I haven't seen mine yet but I went back and looked at it again and I'm satisfied there's no way I was auto-DQ'd.

Sure, I can see a couple of things that might have been errors but I was under word count, clear and concise, a wondrous item, non-offensive, followed the template... etc.

The few things I look at now that I could've done a bit better are mostly pricing and maybe a tweak to the construction elements--but pricing is always tricky anyway and I know these aren't things that would get me DQ'd.

So no more freaking out for me. Though it would still be nice to actually see it and I'm sure I'll keep trudging through until I do.

Dedicated Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8, Dedicated Voter Season 9

Finally I have seen mine. Now off to sleep, for a few short hours. Good luck to all.

Marathon Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7

I saw mine after 5 items.

Scarab Sages Contributor , Dedicated Voter Season 6, Dedicated Voter Season 7, Dedicated Voter Season 8, Star Voter Season 9 aka Steven T. Helt

Saw mine after maybe two hundred pairings. It was stacked up against something I'd reluctantly carried, and lemme tell you I voted the shizzle out of it.

Star Voter Season 6

I'm beginning to suspect my item was auto-DQ'd :(

Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Star Voter Season 8

Don't get too discouraged yet Tels, it took me roughly 10 hours of voting before I saw my item, and 11 voting hours later I still haven't seen it again...

RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16 , Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8, Dedicated Voter Season 9 aka Darkjoy

Voted for my item a second time, this time it was up against a pair of boots I favored in the past, so I guess it wsa a double win?

Sovereign Court RPG Superstar 2011 Top 16 , Dedicated Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7 aka primemover003

I've seen mine twice in the first two days of voting, but I've taken a break over the weekend. Now back into the fray.

--Vrock the Vote!

RPG Superstar 2013 Top 4 , Marathon Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7

Haven't seen mine yet.

Marathon Voter Season 6, Dedicated Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8, Dedicated Voter Season 9

After voting roughly three hours a day since the contest opened, I finally saw my item. It can definitely take awhile.

RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16 , Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8, Dedicated Voter Season 9 aka Darkjoy

Three times now already, this time it was pitted against something horrible.

Still haven't seen my entry yet ... <sigh>

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32 , Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8, Marathon Voter Season 9 aka theheadkase

When I saw my item, I still liked it after all the items I had seen. I still think (hope) I have a fighting chance for the top 32.

I just hope it grabs others. I'm scared to death of that.


I finally saw mine today. So that's Thursday night, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and finally, Monday morning. I estimate I've seen about 700 pairings.

Marathon Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7, Star Voter Season 8

Just saw mine for the first time after 4 days of almost nonstop voting on my phone. I don't know how many pairs I had gone through, but I do know I counted 20 repeats of a few different items.

Don't lose hope. If your item was an original thought in your mind, and you put your juicy creative juice into it, it didn't get DQ'd.

I too have still not seen my item.

Does this mean it is either closer to the top or the bottom than the middle??

Has anyone seen their item a dozen times? I assume people actually reading these boards took more time to submit a correctly formatted and well thought out item.

I am usually going through half a dozen pairs before I see one new item, and very very rarely now that I will see two new items paired.

Liberty's Edge Marathon Voter Season 6

I finally saw mine earlier today! I've been voting every day as much as I have time... and can stand. I actually did an honest-to-gods double-take when my item finally came up; I'm lucky I wasn't drinking anything at the time!

Merry Christmas! I saw my item twice and it makes me happy. Thank you Paizo for making us all a part of the game we love!

Dedicated Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7

I saw my item four times in the first hour and a half of voting and not at all again in the next several days.

I hope that is not a bad sign of something.

Star Voter Season 6

Saw mine after a day or two of voting. Noticed it popped up pretty quick once I stopped doing the "Both" button for items.

I'm in this boat as well. I have, however, seen some items for the umpteenth million time at this point.

I think it is quite the opposite actually. Items with less votes get called up more frequently. The system can not tell the difference between an item that has not een voted on and an item that has been paired, but the vote went to the other item. So if your item is good and gets voted on nearly every time it is matched up (and considering the ratio of good to bad items will probably be almost every time it gets paired up) the odds of seeing it decrease as time goes on.

If you are seeing your item repeatedly now, it means very few people are voting for it.

If my understanding of the system is correct.

Marathon Voter Season 6

Yay! Finally saw my own item--my friend saw it last night but I actually got it today. Only took five days... heh.

I just saw it again and it was paired with a far less craptacular item than the first four times, which is encouraging because it implies that people are voting it up.

I really hope your right there. Because I've been voting for a several hours every day and still nothing.

Grand Lodge Dedicated Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7, Dedicated Voter Season 8

Ah, there it is, and still standing up reasonably well.

Dedicated Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7

Woodengolem, I kind of hope you are wrong, because I want to see more of the awesome items and get to vote for them!

On what are you basing your theory that "items with less votes get called up more frequently"?

There are three weeks of voting to go. Are we doomed to see only the bottom of the field?

I don't think that is quite right. If everyone is voting your item down you also would not see it as it sinks into the metaphorical abyss.

The only thing that could influence the frequency that you see an item at is if lots and lots of people are voting neither when it comes up.

Contributor , Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8

This is my 6th day of voting and I haven't seen my item yet. Hopefully it won't take another 6 days. :p

RPG Superstar 2009 Top 16, 2012 Top 32 , Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8, Marathon Voter Season 9 aka Epic Meepo

I just saw mine!

I don't know why I'm so excited. I haven't won anything yet.

Although my item was paired with the single best other item I've seen so far. I'm hoping that's a sign.

Star Voter Season 6

Grrr, where is it?

Star Voter Season 6, Star Voter Season 7, Star Voter Season 8

I still haven't seen mine but my friend saw it like on the third set.

Liberty's Edge Marathon Voter Season 6

We arent here to determine the best, we are here to the determine the worst. The abyss is all we will really see. Eventually every item at the bottom will accrue enough votes to get to the items in the middle so long as people dont keep hitting neither.

The middle then becomes the bottom and the process continues, pushing the former middle items to go up against the top items.

RPG Superstar 2013 Top 32 , Marathon Voter Season 6 aka Breelo Babblebock

Saw mine again and it was not paired with a very good item this time.
