Hello All,
I was wondering if the following has happened to anyone else?
I generally keep a tab open all day where I'm voting on my desktop PC. This works great 99% of the time, especially since I spend 3/4s of the time I am awake at or near that PC and I can quickly and easily get a few votes in during any kind of downtime in my day.
Yesterday though, I had an odd thing happen. I came back to my PC after being gone for just a little while and pulled up the tab, had the two entries and clicked my vote --- and it reset to the exact same pair, with a 60 second timer.
Now I've regularly had it reset to the 20 second timer, and figure it's because I've been away too long. I'll even occasionally refresh it before I come back if I've been gone a really long time to try to get it good to go.
The really odd thing was -- it KEPT RESETTING! So I waited for the next full minute, this time keeping the page open and just sitting their counting down the time. I made the same vote, and the screen refreshed but AGAIN with the same two items, and again with a 60 second timer. Waited the 60 seconds, clicked in my vote and, AGAIN same pair on a 60 second timer....
Thinking something was all messed up, I closed out that tab, and recreated it going through the regular RPG SuperStar main page, and it was the same two items, with a 60 second counter. Waited the 60 seconds and then voted for the same item again and...
It reloaded to the SAME TWO ITEMS but they'd flipped sides! So that the item that had appeared on the left hand side appeared this time on the right, and vice versa. And again, 60 second timer.
I was like "Ok, one more time -- then I'm voting for the other dang item, because clearly that is what the Gods of RPG SuperStar must want me to do!" but this time, I voted for the same item and...
I finally got a new pair of items!
It was so funny I literally was laughing out loud. So I'm not sure if I got to vote like 3 or 4 times on the same item pairs (possibly with them in different spots! like it would throw me off :P) or if my browser was just malfunctioning or what but it was very weird and I wondered if anyone else had had it happen?
Best part too! Both items were so badly done, I'd wonder if they'll even make the cull (one had zero formatting done correctly and the other had it only partially done right, but was sort of maybe not really a weapon like it was claiming to be???)

Hello All,

It hasn't happened to me to that extent, but I can speak to have occasionally had a 60 second timer repeat on the same items after a particularly long page reload after voting. It has happened at least four times over the course of this contest's voting round.
When you leave the page alone for long enough, it does seem to act like you left and resets the current item to a 20 second timer, just like shutting the browser off and walking away for a bit. But I suspect that is just the website connection reading as shut off.
Yup just happened to me too - voted and then it immediately came up with the same pairing with another 20 seconds on the clock. One item got two quick votes. Not long after that the Paizo server appeared to go down.
