Not get them votes but tell them how awesome their entries are and how they still have the chance to get icrontic's or amd's hearts so they dont go mad and start spamming the forums. Wow long sentence
That kind of defeats the purpose, if you're voting on something based on how other people are voting.
The idea is to vote for the one you like best.... not which is most popular.
Thats not the way I see it. I voted for the image I liked best. Turns out its not in the top few. Now if I had a chance to vote on the top few, that could change the turnout.
Put it this way I liked allot of them but could only vote for one. Now that I know my first pick will not win, I wish I could place a new pick among the top picks. Believe me I would not vote on the image based on what others like. If I don't like what I see, I would not vote.
Perhaps a "blind" vote would have been best. Drop your vote into a "box" and it is not revealed until the winner is announced, THEN reveal who got how many votes. Just a suggestion for the future.
I admit that it's been fun to see the votes start to stack up and the "race" feeling, but it just isn't worth it when people feel they should have voted just to tip the balance between the top two or three.
Though to modify Ivan's suggestion, giving everyone the ability to vote on their favorite two entries may smooth things over a bit more.
But bottom line is: vote for your favorite, not to help tip a win. Fire and forget.

hmm that does make a point..people couldve selected a limited amount of votes..2 or 3 max..not more than that..but it really needs to be according to the entries submitted..
This is not "discuss how we do things" thread. The contest is what it is. Enjoy it, vote, and have fun. If you don't like it, sorry
Valid point, but people will still voice their thoughts on everything that is on topic, contest rules included. Besides, it's hard to steer a discussion and keep it on point.
a BIG OMG!!

*ahem* I like to thank everyone who voted for me. Its really a pleasure seeing my art loved/liked by people over the *Internet*.

There was no tie, the winner was mime92. And I said earlier in the discussion: if there had been a tie, I would have used Random.org to choose the winner from among the tie votes.
