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.

That or you were wearing a Torc of Reckless Abandon... that gives a +5 circumstance bonus to others to escape the consequences of your... actions.

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.


New item versus no save. New item wins.

Still looking post-cull... and even checking with three others there's not a 100% confirmed find. Is it too early to start pushing for them to add a "Sub-cull Effort 2014" title to help assuage the pain?

I saw an item that pulls grapplers into itself and could plssibly kill them. Seems like I read one just like that last year.

Haha, well played. I had the same thought about that item.

Marathon Voter Season 7

Ooh, a new blood themed item. This one I actually like, a lot.

Dedicated Voter Season 7

Woke up to the golden grill. This isn't going to be a good voting day I can tell.

Not sure if this have ever been brought up yet but given the comments about choosing the 'tie' button perhaps a slightly modified black stone/white stone voting system might work better.

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 A

I 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.

They have good taste it seems. That item was quite extraordinary.

In next round someone needs to make a monkey-centaur. That is a winner.


Missing spaces could disqualify you if you were closer to word limit, you know?


Noun noun noun! Made the cull!

Dear boring item,

I may have been in error. I have seen another item that, if paired against you, may force me to use that middle button.


Two death-related items against each other. Both have their own dark charm.


That slots does not feel very related to speed increase.

Just found my item AGAIN! I'm not culled! *Relief*


I like that speed enhancing item but it could be polished a bit.


*sigh* another great fluff with so-so mechanical benefits.

The passive phrasing makes me think that it was you, and that you were distracted by voting.


I want that item! As long as it will work for more than 5 minutes!

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?

Scarab Sages Marathon Voter Season 7

Super thread.

There will be a thread where you can post your item for feedback, so one thread for all items.

Edit: Ninja'd!

Next year my item will turn the user, upon death, into a rune-covered skeletal centaur with a 24-karat smile.

Bullet points put me off a bit. Seen some good items that use them, but usually it just seems that the item lacks a core theme.

It had better be a bloody torc. :P

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.

Hmm. New torc. Made a rookie mistake at the start (IMO) but grew on me as it went. Also helped that it was up against one of my least favorite items (no matter how often you show it to me, system).

Star Voter Season 6, Dedicated Voter Season 7

After reading back a little it seems that a cull has already happened for the 2014 contest, but.... it sure doesn't feel that way. Are we sure!? i keep seeing many of the same items that have not gotten my vote.

Is there a way to see a list of items culled already?

Welcome to the club

Star Voter Season 7

I've seen these over and over, voted down, and they still made it past cull.

1. google glasses
2. playing card that belonged to someone famous
3. Item makes me incorporeal/corporeal, so I can rez myself
4. Cone of silence
5. Babbling blindness with blindsense
6. Portable firehose
7. Magic item made from cold iron
8. Giant plastic gerbil toy
9. I've got gnomish balls; they make good parties
10. Breath of life in a can.

I don't really care much for scabbards. I upvote them sometimes, but they often feel like a work-around for someone who really just wanted a magic sword.

I know of confirmed DQ'd items with missing spaces, so if you report it they will DQ it.

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).

Disgruntled Warmonger wrote:

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 ;-)

There is a cloak that does something ridiculous and possibly harmful, but it is growing on me. I'd like to see where this writer goes.

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.

Oh my item...my item...
Wherefore art thou, my item?

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

I'm curious. In the eyes of the community, is an item that specifically caters to one class generally worse than one that doesn't? Not counting extreme cases where the second item is clearly just plain awful or something.
