Changes to Cosplay Contest Voting
Hello again EPICon fans! There have been a few changes to the voting system for the cosplay contest.
Unfortunately the votes have had to be reset, but we hope the changes will make for a better experience! Good luck to all of the contestants!
- For the sake of fairness, cosplayers in officially sanctioned gear and cosplayers in their own custom threads will no longer be mixed in the same voting set!
- You may now cast a vote every 10 minutes instead of every hour. Good news for those who have been wanting to see more of those amazing costumes!
- Once your EPICon beeper alerts you that you can vote again, you can now head straight to the voting wall! It's only one less step than it was before, but we know you guys are busy with all of the activities.

ROCK
I also still had to click twice to get to the one wall. I also still only see one page with CW and Regular HAs. I figured there'd be two separate pages so they wouldn't be viewed together. I'll take a cap in 10.
Great! I was wondering if something had changed when I saw a bunch of avatars with CWs, ha.
Sucks that everything was reset, but I'm SO glad that I can vote now. I only got to vote like 2 times before because I have a life :(
Can those of you who are seeing custom item and non-custom item entries mixed together on the same page take a screencap?
It still looks the same to me, just one wall to vote on. I also still had to click twice to get to the cosplays, so I don't know what that means about one less step.
still one wall!
could we please get the names of the characters and/or the series they're from under their pictures? so many of the cosplays look interesting, and i wanna look up the series, but i can't.

Thanks, staff! That makes much more sense considering the "there will be two categories" mentioned during the contest signup and all!
I keep getting nothing but CW's.
The first one since this change was non-CW. The three votes after that were just CW's.

TanyaYay great! Im so glad you did this. I found myself voting more for people with refs, so it was tough to compare it to OC cosplay.
I would like all these changes but... I don't see them at all O.o'
Only 10 minutes works but other than that, there are no 2 columns and I still need to click the link to go to voting site. ^^'

Aaaaaaand I'm also still being taken to the separate page with the link to the voting wall, instead of the wall itself.
I see no changes. :c

Although, I can't see a difference. o3o where are the 'separate voting walls', because I'm only being taken to one, and there's no link for another.
It looks the same to me and what a bummer there was so really awesome one i have voted for, not their votes go out the window, i may never see them again or two of the ones i really like might show up, some how that is not fair to them :/ but i guess it is what it is
A shame the votes had to be reset, but I think the change is much needed and I'm happy to be able to see different costumes more often now. Maybe I'll get to see the ones I loved again, too.
I'm not being taken directly to the voting wall (but rather to the page that has the voting wall link) but I like these changes so much now. Thanks.
WOW, nice Subeta team!
Thanks.
im sad the previous votes had to be erased, but since we get to vote more often, people will get their votes back, hopefully ^^
And it's nice to see who's wearing CWs and who isn't

I love these changes, and I think resetting the votes only makes it fairer. It's hard for a non-cw cosplay to go up against one that is in full cw mode. Thanks for the changes and updates!
aw man, that kinda sucks that votes got reset. oh well, at least voting is how it should be now. I wish I could vote in CW contest as well but that's not that big of a deal really.
This is great. I love seeing cosplays and the once an hour was just way too limiting. Thanks, Subeta.
Okay, I looked at it and it doesn't seem to be that different. I retract my previous statement.
Thanks so much for listening to all the feedback. lol the officially sanctioned gear leaves some room for ambiguity (especially if you used a tribute item for something different than its reference) BUT this is an improvement :)
