A hundred plus votes this morning before doing some chores. I’m getting into a routine. This could be bad. I know it was last year.
Oh well, part of the price we pay for stuff like this!

That has to be some sort of omen.
My understanding, sir, was that I would get a double bonus with that particular Torc. If this is not the case, I demand a full refund, plus restitution for your misleading advertising.

4 choices instead of 3
3-0, 2-1, 1-2, 0-3
(numbers on the left being the black stones and representing the item on the left, the numbers on the right being the white stones and representing the item on the right)
That way you do not have any ties but still allow for voters to differentiate between items they feel strongly about in either direction and items that they feel are the lesser of two evils.
Thoughts?
OH
If I am reading this right it would be.
1) A is better than B
2) A is a little better
3) B is a little better
4) B is better than AI like it but it may be more complex then they want.
That's exactly it. It would basically be a matter of 'counting the stones' for each item to determine which gets culled or considered for the top 32. What it would do would be to give a way to leave out the tie button (and thus the perpetual reloading of the same item) but at the same time allowing the voter to make a decision in terms of strength of approval/disapproval. It would also provide a lot more data along the same lines for the judges.

So this is my first time submitting an item.... When we're done with voting and the top 32 are posted, how do we get feedback on our items if we don't make the cut? Do we each make a thread for our submission or does it all get mashed into one big super-thread?
There will be a thread where you can post your item for feedback, so one thread for all items.
Edit: Ninja'd!

I was voting and had a realization...
It has been quite a while since I have seen a new item, and I have quite a few of the items memorized and analyzed.
This means I am usually finished voting in about 10 seconds, but it usually takes me 5-10 minutes to vote due to the fact that I get caught up reading other things.
I will never make champion this way.

Missing spaces could disqualify you if you were closer to word limit, you know?
I know of confirmed DQ'd items with missing spaces, so if you report it they will DQ it.
cull has already happened for the 2014 contest Are we sure!?
Is there a way to see a list of items culled already?
I promise you there has been a cull, otherwise I'd see some of the many many many items that were just awfully formmatted. Nearly every one I've seen since the cull is properly formatted (if not properly constructed like faint CL 18th and major illusion CL 5th).
I've seen these over and over, voted down, and they still made it past cull.
Some of those and other are ridiculously powerful items. This is why we see items like last year being voted into 1st to 8th place getting passed over for top 32.
You can make a 10,000 gp item that turns you into a mite when you die and allow you to use a wand on yourself to heal and it be treated like a breath of life when you get any healing. It will get a lot of votes if properly formatted (not form me) but won't make top 32 ;-)

With all the seeds im seeing there will be nothing but magical plants in all of Golarion
That's when you turn the magical items into a plot hook. All that excess residual magic has to go somewhere, right? Next thing you know you've got giant/dire versions of animals that have been feeding on the plants. They go rampaging around, causing chaos. As if that weren't enough, the druids get all sorts of testy because of the rampant imbalance of the ecosystem, so they start going to war on those responsible for the catastrophe, even their own people.
Luckily, there's a bunch of adventurers outfitted with a bunch of new magic items, just champing at the bit to help fix things...

Not sure if I'm complaining, or complimenting this item.
The name, is Earthling, not Golarian. The item is better when paired with an existing item (an existing item I have always enjoyed actually).
The item is done pretty well, and I like it.
If not for the darn name, and I'm not sure how to avoid the name chosen, but still.
