My eyes were ready to glaze over when I saw the wall of text, but the item description drew me in. Well played.
This would be a great item for kingdom building campaigns, or a ruler of a thieve's guild or BBEG. Clever.
Are items with creation costs listed as algebraic values pay what you want items?
Seems OP.

Yes, yes I will vote for an item with no formatting, run on sentences, and bad layout, but a moderately inventive idea over one which is simply a class feature in a can...
*Sigh*

I got these two already! You just switched which side they were on!
So you spent all that time putting together a pretty good item, very evocative in a creepy sort of way, only to completely blow it on the name.
Hint: Putting three nouns together in a row is not naming something.
Hummm.... 397 word count vs 288 word count....
You had me until you threw a random origin story in at the end. Sometimes less is more.
If your item's name includes an item of clothing, be sure to not misspell that item of clothing in the description.
Especially if the description is along 2 lines long.
Hummm.... 397 word count vs 288 word count....
Got the former.
It could be up against a blank page and it would still lose my vote.

LOL. I know one.
Also awkward are the items that sound like someone has swallowed a thesaurus.
Aren't entries over 300 words auto DQ'd? I haven't seen any, so I just assumed they were.
Argh. You have no idea how badly I want to go all Simon Cowell on these two items right now. No idea. So...argh.LOL I would pay to see that.
In the interests of not sending people away crying, never to come back to Paizo again, I'll have to refrain. Plus, that's just mean. I'll just continue to sit here and scream profanities at my monitor.

I have to agree, hard to vote for something that will be disqualified tomorrow.
Permanent version of one of the most powerful buff spells in the game. HECK NO.
Far too many items along the lines of:
"This seemingly ordinary thing does all of the following!:
- spell in a can
- weapon/attack in disguise
- spell in can
- one actually awesome idea which if the writer had spent time developing and describing it instead of padding and overcomplicated the item with several other abilities, probably would have been superstar, but in the current circumstances, isn't."
The lost potential makes me sad.
(The fact that my own item starts to cross into this territory is about expected.)
Why did you wrap your decent concept into such a ridiculous package? Why?!
Don't *headdesk* put *headdesk* proper names *headdesk* in the name *headdesk* of your item.
I know who Tenser, Mordenkainen, and Nystul were. I have no idea who Brindlesnoot is, therefore dropping his/her name doesn't make your item any cooler.
Questions:
How many items got submitted?
A lot.
Will we always be seeing the crappy ones that violate the 27 rules, are insanely cheap or powerful, etc?
No.
Or are they purged over time.
Yes.
When you can't think of an item you must WHIP IT. Whip it real good.
So is 2014 the year of the whip or something?
facepalm item... didn't Peter from Faliy Guy waste a wish on this?
Do I vote for the Weapon of Wondrous Item or the Spell in a Can? I don't like this SIAC very much, but the weapon is bound to be disqualified.....
Also: SPELL NAMES ARE NOT CAPITALIZED.
I saw an item that I would call Fizban-in-a-can...
Horribly, horribly underpriced.
Well, I've hit my first day goal of 300 different items. So see you guys tomorrow!
"When combined with another, more expensive item, this item does something new!" Is this on the drinking list?
Ooh, found my first class-in-a-can.
"When combined with another, more expensive item, this item does something new!" Is this on the drinking list?
If not, it should be.
Happy voting everyone! Too tired for now, brain hurts.
Kids.... Ewwww....
Seen so many items that don't include the item name in the body.
"When combined with another, more expensive item, this item does something new!" Is this on the drinking list?
If not, I hereby declare that it bloody well should be.
part of me feels like i should really be voting, and part of me is reading some of these comments and remembering just how brutal wading through items before the cull was last year...
Hmmmm... 9th level spell effect.... 1st level cost. :/

"Let's try to rewrite the combat rules with this item" Yeah how about no

It's better than last year, but still...

How and when does the cull occur?
Ultimately, this is a writing contest. An entry that is super short doesn't give me any glimpse of how you write (and probably doesn't have enough information to get me interested in your item).
How and when does the cull occur?
When the stars are right.
