Upvoted a ridiculous item over a boring one.
Not a Wondrous Item! I don't even know what the heck that is. A bizarre combination of poison, potion, trap, and curse.
Okay, it's bad when I see an item's title and think to myself "Oh, great, another person that can't effectively put words together in English," only to discover that this one did it on purpose because it's "goblinspeak."
Voted for it because the other item sucked

I think I saw this item in a movie with robin williams in the eighties.

At least one acknowledged as much by using Forge Ring as a feat requirement.
Not that it makes it much better, mind you... >.<
Christmas item!
Oop, there are actually TWO Tesla items. Maybe more.
There are more than, only saw one over and over.

Right, but my point being that the only reason I reacted that way was because of all the items I saw prior to that which weren't doing it on purpose.
I know naming items can be hard, but throwing three nouns together that have links to the item isn't going to cut it.
If I have an underwater vehicle that looks like a giant fish, I might call it an Ichthyoid Submersible. Whereas, with the naming conventions of one item (which was pretty decent aside from the name) I'd end up calling it the Fish Boat Underwater.
That item should have some Craft skill in it.
I figure the sorting process should put items about on par with eachother so if you see your item with a good item its a good sign... But its early yet.

Found a game-inspired item I quite liked.

Waiting for the Goblin item vs Kobold one
There's at least 3 X-mas items

I don't think it does that, it just goes through all variations
Sweet, made Star Voter.
Yet to see any Christmas items, but I'm looking forward to it.
Final Fantasy item.
Found the "rebuild my character" item.
Are "bloody" items always this popular?
Bloody and/or gross apparently are fairly popular every year.
Oh hey that's a cool item if you're an archer. Wonder if quivers should get counted alongside scabbards.
NO BACKSTORY!!!
Why is that so hard to understand? Why!?

A handful of extremely well-written gross-out items have made the top 32 in the past, and, every year, several items exclude the "extremely well-written" portion of the formula.

But without the backstory it's just an item that adds a +5 competence bonus to Craft (basketweaving).
Are decimals as commas a European thing?For money, yes. So 3,000 gp to an American would be 3.000 gp to a European.

That sounds like a terrible exchange rate. Our money really isn't good anymore, is it?
So a friendly target gets a Will save against the effect, but an unwilling target gets no save? Wait, what?
Cue Inigo Montoya. Again.
Lunch up. That's enough voting for now.

Recycling previous winners is a good strategy, luckily I remember a lot of items....... LOSER
Just saw an item that looks very cool, but seems suspiciously like a reskinned version of Anthony Adam's butterfly swarm item.
Is boomer haunting us? I see a lot of monkey stuff.

I don't make the rules or set the exchange rate, sadly :-)
And there is the item that is thematically very similar to mine. Very well done too, with nice template skills, tight writing and solid mechanics.
Well done, whomever you are. May the best item win.
You have me curious... almost curious enough to PM. I found a well-written and very similar item to my own.
Analogous to: You gain complete resistance to X. X can still affect you even though you are unaffected by it.

That was funny. Not Superstar, but funny. Kudos.
