I have one question, why are all the prize shop items ending in 5 or 0 and people have point scores that end in 1,2,3, or 4? I mean after I buy all that I can I'll still have one point left that I've earned but can't spend. It will sit there mocking me for not playing four more games forever.
A well-deserved congratulations to the winners! :)
That being said, I think big edits for the better need to be made to the Cosplay contest and EPICon overall. For one, I forgot to upload a reference, along with many others, and I believe entrants should be allowed to add/edit/change reference images after the deadline. Second, I was not able to play very many games, as I have an exhausting 40+ hours a week full time job, as well as college. I believe more points should have been awarded from each game play, and/or points could be earned via other activities.
Also, we never got Pony rides, or an EPICon "convention hall". Masquerade has one, and the zombies have the Underground for Survival. What happened?

Cranberry posts here why there are no weapons :)

I will also post what it says.
We don't mind putting weapons in the shop if there's even a little bit of battling, but we are trying to get away from giving out weapons for events where battling doesn't count for points at all. This was an event, too, not a plot -- most plots do have a battle component and so will have weapons available in the prize shop.

bleh. I have 0 points for 2010. I was hoping we could buy with the points we made this time. Guess no taking things off that wish list ;P
Although I was a demon hunter as cosplay because I'm a huge Diablo fan...It was quite hard to tell that the Diabolica items and Witch Healer Belt wear from diablo...even the Lady Hunter Boots were hard to tell...because of the purplish colour xD But I love them anyway!!!! :heart:
So I guess we're not allowed to use this years points on 2010 items? I ask because I have 400 something measely points and I can't buy anything from 2010 :(
Once again, thanks to the staff for a fun event. You guys worked your butts off.
Lovely items in the Prize Shop too.

I saw a lot of the same HAs over and over. I didn't see any of the avatars that took top five. Though they were really good. There were a few HAs that I saw at least a dozen times.
man if i had even gotten to see that one i would've voted for it! wish the system had been better. congrats to the first place winner and the runners up! either way this contest was fun and now i'm gonna go frolic through fields of cosplays and then the prize shop. :B
Ooh, congrats on the winner, it's well deserved.
The prizes are nice too!
I was wondering, can you buy 2010 items with the 2013 points?

ah my rating is 28% and i'm on page 15 and that's actually pretty good! i'm pleased!!!
but yeah i agree that i didn't even see most of these entries in the pool and got a LOT of repeats... i'd still rather the format not be one that could easily become a user popularity contest.
is it possible to make it next time something like you can give an actual rating of 1-5 or 1-10 to EACH avatar on a page, and then those avatars won't show up for you again? i feel like that would really be a good solution that would even things out a little!

I am agreeing with the peoples askin about weapons? Why are there non? it is allot of nice things in the shop, but darn it, I wanted to slay my opponent with new weapons.
love the wearables, but i'm a bit disappointed that there aren't any weapons :/ oh well, congrats to those who placed!
Oh, OH! Before I forget: Congrats for a fellow zombie getting first! So many people seem to make such a big deal about cosplaying as a zombie, but seriously... it comes in handy if you choose something that goes well with your virus!
I cosplayed as Belial (the old graveyard shopkeeper) last time, and actually had a lot of compliments about using my boobitis zombie skin with my cosplay.

Congratulations to the winners! They truly deserved it, they were all incredibly wonderful ;)
And thank you for the amazing prizes from the cosplay contest and the prize shop, it'll do some very nice outfits :D

Looks like someone might just be as addicted to Fallout as I am... I think I'm having more fun trying to pick out the references than picking out what I want.:P
That Van Gogh is AMAZING!! Congrats!! Its also amazing in a different way that I never saw it, not once, during voting. The system is broken and needs fixed for next year.
Sad to see so many Costume Trunk entries ranked above many of my favorites, but "what ya gonna do?"
Congrats to the winners! Excellent entries.
And the prizes are wonderful this year. So excited to have lots of points to spend!

This is great! It's so amazing that a Van Gogh won!
I'm actually sad that I didn't get to see most of the top entries, and looking through the gallery (on page 5 so far, I barely saw any of these... haha.
I voted quite a bit, too, though it tapered off towards the end since I was practically only seeing repeats.

Congrats all winners :D
But I seriously hope for next time the voting system changes. This system was so idiotic in my opinion and made no sense. I only saw about 2 of those winners entries out of all the times I voted. Some of my friends entered this competition who had really cool cosplays and I didnt even get to see them in the voting system. I saw many repeats of entries over and over again which does not seem like a fair system at all! I understand that having all the entries shown and everyone ranking them in like an order up to a certain number may be too time consuming for some people to do but just seems so much more fair in my opinion than constant repeats of the same entries over and over again. PLEASE CAHNGE THIS SYSTEM FOR NEXT TIME! PLEASSEEEE!!!!

I'm still getting over the shock of winning.. O.O Thank you so much, everyone. I never expected to actually win. Wow.
Also, congratulations to everyone else! There have been so many awesome and creative cosplays. :D

In awe about the Last of Us and Lutece items (and the tribes' ear necklace lol) :3 great prizes, and congrats to the winners!
WOW, page six! I didn't think I'd get anywhere near my rank of 104 last time. Thanks to everyone who voted for my Cruella de Vil! Also finding that I didn't even see a lot of the top 50 entries, but I did vote for Van Gogh and the win there is well deserved. Now to go check out those awesome prizes.:D
Oh wow?! I'm genuinely shocked I managed to place 2nd! Haha that's awesome, thank you! Really awesome prizes too ahhhh time to splurge!
Omg! Supernatural, The walking Dead, Princess Jellyfish, Angry Birds, Resident Evil, Predator are all the references i liked. And an invasion of pokemon references for some reason, probably because of the last featured game?
Congrats to the winners, you are all awesome! :D And thanks to everyone who voted for me, I placed pretty well for my standards (page 29). Now to go spend my points on some wonderful prizes!
The cosplayers were awesome ;D I wish I had more time to play games but even with 1/4 points, I'm glad I can afford a couple wearables.
