Is possible to change costume you submitted for the contest????
@Kamilah
If people submitted as a hex, they appear as a hex ^^ I don't think it was meant to be that was, but that's how it is.
I'm a little annoyed. I just had no choice at all on my vote... i.e. one of the avatars didn't show up. So the one I had to vote for I never would have voted for in a million years :c

Hey, I was just wondering:
I went to vote and there were the usual two choices, but one was a hex. A friend of mine had this same issue. We were wondering if the hexes were affecting the picture we viewed or if those people had just submitted their avatars when they were hexed and therefor that was the picture that was showing up.

Haha, I didn't do a generic scary costume, I actually dressed my HA up as something, but without the reference image I feel like I won't get many votes... XD XD oh well! Still fun to see the costumes!
I wish the waiting time wasn't so long... <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />

Yay! I'm already looking forward to seeing the winners! Plus I've also taken a solemn vow not to vote for any Disney characters this time around.
I'm glad the number of choices has been reduced, but I think four or six would work better than two. On the first round I got two near-identical pumpkin-themed witches and picking between them was like flipping a coin. Though I guess the upshot of having fewer HAs to pick from will be that the total votes for each costume are going to be closer to the average number of votes?

I am only getting one choice as well. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> It was like that almost 7 hours ago before I went to bed. I was hoping the choice(s) would be refreshed by this morning but it is the same: 1 choice, same user. I won't vote this way! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />

Wasn't given enough time to make a costume this time round, unfortunately. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> But I do like the new voting methods... However, I don't understand the bloody wait time. Why can't we just keep voting?
Thanks for the replies, I wasn't sure if maybe I had missed something. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
20 mins is certainly better than 60, but of course no waiting would be even better! haha

If this was another cosplay contest I'd be all nitpicky about having a ref image, but since this is just a ~Halloween Costume Contest~ I don't see reference pics necessary for like... A ghost or something lol.
AKA I LIKE THIS NEW WAY OF VOTING. I do wish the time between voting was decreased, though 20 mins isn't awful.

What does,"Delete 1,000 Plain Pumpkins by hand! Using quickstock will not work!", mean?
Excellent voting set-up! Its a "morostide" costume contest, not specifically COSPLAY, so no need for reference photos IMO.
I really enjoy having just 2 choices, even if the 2 aren't so good. I agree completely with Coronaviridae.
Just wondering why so many people feel like they NEED a reference image to be voted for? A lot of Halloween costumes are just, in general, something like a witch or a scary creature. They don't have a particular REFERENCE, they just come from the imagination. That's what I did for my entry.

I like the two choice system, but wish voting was closer together, like 10 minutes instead of the 20.
Honestly, even if you get a pair of entries that are relatively weak, vote.
The genius of this particular kind of voting system is that those entries will be recycled against much stronger entries through subsequent rounds of voting, and will settle to the "level" appropriate to them. So even if you like neither of the entries you're presented with, close your eyes and click, or flip a coin. Take that vote for the team and keep the system working.

Are reference pics not showing up for a reason? I hope it gets fixed, my entry may be more recognizable to some if they see it.
@Potter
I just got 2 choices with references. The reference images just show up next to the HA, no need to hover over.

Can we please have more choices? Or can they change after a certain amount of time? I just can't bring myself to vote for some of the ones I'm seeing. Lack of references/weak costumes bother me.
I guess the alerts are in need of some tweaking. I got my first alert 3 minutes early, my second alert was 5 minutes late, and my third alert won't clear after closing it on every page I've loaded for the last five minutes. xD
I don't think they get refreshed after 20 minutes. At least, my last two choices didn't seem to. Maybe the counter was off, but I waited a few minutes past the 20 minute mark, and still had the same choices up.

You know, I... disagreed with this attitude in the EpiCon contest when there were so many choices, but with only two options it really does become more realistic.
I'm just going to suck it up and pick one of these two, but if I get say, 2 hexes or 2 random non-halloween HAs? I do hope they're refreshed after 20mins.

*sorry, my post was cut off. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_xface.gif" border="0" />
Both look so great! That's what I was gonna say. :3

Aww, that's nice that you've lowered the waiting time. = D
I didn't participate in EpiCon, so, if our own avatar shows up(idk if this is possible), are we allowed to vote for it or must we vote for the other one or can we just wait 20 minutes for new choices?

Yay <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> only 20 minutes now. GL everyone <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Didn't get an event I could vote again, guess it's bugged :c
20 min wait is awesome, ty SubetaTeam.

Made my first vote, can't wait in till next time. Good luck to everyone! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
Yay it started! And 20 minutes isn't too bad.. that's about the wait time for Pumpkin Patch/TOT so I'll see if I can't get them all on the same time <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" /> Thanks for starting it and thanks for giving us two choices <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
"Thanks for your vote! You'll receive an event when you can vote again."
When exactly does this "event" show up? I haven't received one.

woo! this will be fun <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Aww, I was really looking forward to entering! I didn't think the voting would start so early.
Well, at least it's still fun to vote. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

agree with cylum. There should be four ebcause the first time I tried they were both jsut random HAs
Yeah, I agree there should be 4-5 choices to select from and more often voting. But Yay, the contest has started! Now when do we get to fight?
Ooh, interesting new voting system. I love not having to choose between so many fantastic entries at once.
<img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif" border="0" /> Good luck to everyone participating! -crosses fingers-

agreed with Braig, love the new system where I don't have a bunch of them to choose from, but it'd be rather nice if since there are fewer choices we could vote more frequently.
30 minutes would be better with us now only being able to choose between 2 HA's. But, whatevz. I love this contest. <3
I agree, I think the voting should be every 30 minutes instead of 60. :/ Especially where there are two HAs to chose from this time around.
Aww the wait time is so long <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> haha I am impatient.
Hmm...I can see why it was changed, I guess, but I'm a little disappointed with the new setup. I probably won't get to see many entries, and with only two to choose from, I'm expecting a lot of rounds where I don't like either of them. Like now. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy_sweatdrop.gif" border="0" /> Ah well.
The two i just had to vote on didn't have reference images. :/ Wish they did, so I would've known what I was voting for.
Good luck everyone! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
Good luck to everyone who entered! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif" border="0" />
Thanks Secret <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
Oh, I like that there are only two to choose from. It was so difficult before when there were three or four I liked.

voted! yay contest. Glad I finished my costume up this afternoon I had almost forgot it was tonight.
Ohh I like that we only get 2 choices! Sometimes it was so hard to vote in the epicon voting, since there were so many excellent ones.
Oops, didn't join. Oh well. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> Change is slightly interesting though.
Does the reference image still show up on hover? Or it's just a coincidence that the two I have don't have reference images.
FINALLY! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" /> Yay I am so excited. I wonder how often we can vote?
Yay! I was looking forward to voting <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Oh, interesting! I think I rather like this change. It'll be fun to see who the winners end up being!
