Hey Everybody, here it is, the second voting thread for the First Official RTW Screenshot Competition!

First off, let me state that the reason the voting is in two threads is because there was fifteen microsoft word pages of pictures. I decided to break it in half and make two threads to be nicer to your computer.

For those of you out of the loop, there was a thread in the RTW General Discussion area where you the forummers could submit pictures. I put the two voting threads here because I figured we'd get more people to vote this here. (Mods: if there is a problem with this, feel free to move this to the RTW General Discussion Area)

There are seven (7) different categories. You may vote only once in each voting thread, and should put a First place, Second Place, and Third Place selection in your vote. First place is worth three points, second is worth two, and third is worth one.

Also, I would like everyone to pick what they think the "Best in Show" or the best picture in the whole competition (look at both threads before voting on this, and ONLY PUT THAT ENTRY IN YOUR BALLOT IN THIS THREAD. I MIGHT MISS IT IF IT IS IN THE OTHER THREAD!!!)

In this thread, we have the Action-Packed, Dramatic, and Emotional/Thought-Provoking categories.

Your ballot should look like this:

Thread Name: (Which voting thread, 1 or 2?)

Name of 1st Place Picture in Action-Packed:
Name of 2nd Place Picture in Action-Packed:
Name of 3rd Place Picture in Action-Packed:

Name of 1st Place Picture in Emotional/Thought-Provoking:

Forum Name:
Is this supposed to be the thread's name?

Yes, I suppose I should have put "Thread Name", that way when I Ctrl+C all of the ballots I can put them in order by which thread they were in.

I noticed that there are two pictures titled "Charge!" in the action category.

You're right. I'll change that right away.

I'll add this one later if that's okay.
Also, what are the rules on editing, if any?

I will not be "collecting" the ballots for a couple more weeks. Up until the end of voting (that date has yet to be specified) you can edit your ballots as many times as you want.

Thanks for your questions, sorry if it was confusing at all.

The voting for yourself no-no goes without saying, eh?

Well, it wouldn't be very honorable, and a contest won without honor isn't much of a contest, but I'm not gonna cross-reference everybody's ballots so that I'm sure that no one voted for themselves.

Therefore, let it be known that everybody is free to vote for themselves, but keep in mind, that I have a retinue of Honor Ninjas, and they'll sure be on the lookout for ballots that are for entirely one contestant.

Ye Be Warned...

Just to get more people to vote, I'm thinking of having the polls closed next Sunday night. A week is plenty of time to vote, and I want as many votes as possible. I would at least expect everyone who submitted a picture would want to vote.

We need more votes guys!

And @CaesarVincens, some of your pictures must have gotten deleted, If you could reupload them please.
