I could buy your item, or I could buy more wands of the spell you used than I could ever use. Hmm...
Hey! I found my item! I didn't get DQed!*
*Not that I thought I would get DQed. But you know - paranoia.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Or so I repeat to myself, still having not seen my own item. :/
This item's name makes it sound like it would chafe. A lot. Where you wouldn't want to chafe.Thanks I'm sure it was mine, never looked at the name that way.
Hey, I like the item and have upvoted it several times. All in good fun, man.
Blind but not blind, or borderline cursed item?
you know I am pretty sure that I have seen more items that either kill you or make it much more likley that you'll die if you use the item than I have seen that bring you back in the event of your death while using it... its pretty close, but I think the deadly items have them by about 20%
looks like a reworked version of my item from last year if I took all the feedback... not sure how I feel about that but its a good item

As I said in another thread, there is definitely some schizoid stuff going on here...
I'd be interested in hearing comments on the immortality thread.
Not sure if I linked that properly. Apologies if it doesn't work.
You're an item that should exist in some form. You're also an item that probably shouldn't have been entered.

So just saw an item that rang a bell. Double checked my notes, wasn't among the items I'd already seen this year. Then, with an increasing sense of certainty, looked at my compilation of last year's entries. And it's the exact same item I saw a couple times and downvoted repeatedly last year! And lest we think this is merely another glitch in the system, one word of the item's name changed. (Which seems to represent the grand total of editing/alterations performed.)
:::slow clap::: Well done, item creator. Your creativity and sense of innovation SHINES like a beacon for us all.

Can you PM me the new name I think it might be the one that's riffed off of mine from last year. Just curious my new item isn't even similar.
Please make an attempt to know the rules you are interacting with. Formatting Damage Reduction is not that hard.
Hi veil. Again. I'm voting you every time.
interesting... I have veil I am voting against nearly every time... I wonder if we are just canceling each other out Bardess...

I don't even know what that word means.
And neither does Google.

Nope, this isn't your stone from last year. I'm pretty certain this isn't a riff of any kind, because honestly, I can't see anyone stealing an idea this subpar and not changing it up. This is almost certainly the same contestant re-entering the same item.
damn.. not even I am that egotistical....
Must stop voting at 9:30... have work to do.... (lets see if that happens).

Finally.... found my own item. And I'm still confident it's a creative, flavorful item.
Its opponent is one of those spell-storing items. Not a badly-written item, but it doesn't do anything its component spells or existing spell-storing items cannot do, and it has some formatting errors, so this is going to be easy. :)
cool name just not in the category you named it

I hate you for making up bonus types.
So many walky-talkies...
hello shamwow you have been upvoted

No complaints, glad someone has seen it and liked it. I honestly never looked at the name that way.
So for 40,000gp I get a little bonus and the GM gets to punch me in the groin at some point when I lest expect it, sounds like a bargain.

You clearly didn't vote last year there were so many more walkie talkies...
Blind but not blind, or borderline cursed item?
I'm seeing a lot of this "cursed" item hate (cursed in this context apparently meaning an item that has drawbacks) and I never noticed it in the past. The statement above goes so far as to make it seem like the two things mentioned are equal infractions, which is weird to me because one of them (blind but not blind) is explicitly in Sean's list of don'ts and the other one (cursed) isn't in that list at all. What gives? Did I miss a memo? And if people are going to be auto rejecting over that, can it please be added to Sean's list?

Honestly, the second one seemed like it's drawback was very nearly as bad as it's benefit was good, for absolutely no reason.
I'm so glad it will not distract me! down vote

I saw an item that is clearily based on a tv series, autorejected.
But then again I was amazed that I saw that kind of item for the first time since that TV series is basically "Wondrous Items: the series"
I wonder if there is any wondrous bus ticket that teleports you to gallup

I get that, and clearly that's bad. But making it into a semi-meme format like "blind but not blind vs cursed" makes it seem like that's one of the auto reject rules, and may well influence people in that direction. I just think either it should be legit to have drawbacks or it shouldn't be. And if it's legit then we should only be calling items out for having them for no thematic reason, or for the drawbacks being too drastic. Not for having drawbacks at all. But if we're just going to start throwing "cursed vs. X" around, then we've all but made it a rule that items can't come with drawbacks if they want to have any hope of winning.
To me that would be a shame, because I happen to like the idea of "pay a price" items, as long as they are thematically appropriate and balanced.
AGGGHhhhh!!
Still haven't come accros my item!
2 Days of constant voting!!!
NADA.

Careful not to defend your own item if that's what you're doing. If it's the one I'm thinking of I actually think it deserves to be in the keep folder. It has some conventions that will play poorly with voters but it is a solid item with real creativity.
Playin' with fire!
And I like it!

I was pretty certain myself that I saw an item from last year early on in the voting. Didn't bother to go back and check.
