Have you come across an awesome pet profile, that has the perfect name, the perfect layout, and the treasure chest to match?
Now when you browse pet profiles there is a link to nominate a pet for the Pet Spotlight! You cannot nominate your own pets.
The criteria that we will be using for winners include:
1. Aesthetically pleasing profile
2. Well thought out story
3. Appropriate treasure chest
4. Appropriate minion
You will be alerted if your pet wins the Pet Spotlight. It will also get a notice on its profile saying that it has won the spotlight.

Oooh, sweet! Maybe it is taking an idea from Neopets, but I like the idea. It gives users who put a lot into their pet's profile the recognition they deserve! Bravo, staff! -clapclap-

Sounds great, can't wait to see the awesome pets that some of the users have got.

The last time I looked Subeta wasn't a Utilitarian regime, which means that those who are able or willing to put in the time to learn how to make coding work for profiles, to learn how to write a compelling character story, or to save up and obtain those perfect minions and treasure items should be rewarded for it. Subeta is a game site afterall, and the point of any game is to play it and move forward, not sit there with it in the case and still expect to see the ending. This interesting new feature gives me the incentive to work on those things that I may not excel at.

To be honest Neo was the first thing I thought of when I saw this. But then I quickly discarded that thought... because Neo is not Subeta and vice versa. Then I thought this might turn into another evil popularity contest. So I sat and thought for a bit before posting and I realized something: if you look around, there's already popularity 'contests' (for lack of a better word) going on anyways in various ways... a few could be seen as bad ways yes, but there are various good sides to it as well. For example:
There are folks who are marvelous artists who will draw HA's (for a bit of sp) and are quite popular for that. Yes, they do charge quite a lot of sp for their work, but despite that folks still seek them out specifically for 'their' art. I can't draw to save my life and I am glad there are folks who can do it for me! I figure if they are that good then they are deserving of the sp (and the popularity)!
There are folks who can restock like crazy, beating out even some of the Staff on items. Some folks look at this as a bad thing... but only if you are not the one with this talent! Sure, sometimes I too may gripe and grumble about an item or three being gone before I can even focus to click on it, and they often overcharge for it later in their shops. But eventually either the item does drop in price after a while or I will manage to make enough sp to buy what I want. I am pathetic when it comes to making sp... yet I can still manage to get the few really expensive things for my gallery, so I really can't complain. Again, if these folks can do this that well, then they deserve the benefits from it!
There are folks who constantly chat on the forums, giving advise when needed, offer tips on dressing your HA, and even host special forum events and give-a-ways during the Subetan holidays. They are well known for being there... in fact some folks will actively seek these folks to chat with them or join their events. They are popular because of this and they too deserve it.
There are folks who always have a welcome word and (once in a while) may even have a small gift for new folks just starting out on Subeta. I've been a recipient myself of these last types and I was very grateful for it. They help make the game more enjoyable, more friendlier, and could even lead to a lasting friendship with someone who is new.
So... if someone has the talent to put together to make a really dazzling pet profile, I think they should be just as deserving of some recognition for it!

Amen, Keith.
I didn't have lick of pet profile coding sense before last week, but have taught myself how to code from scratch in just days (and with help from <a href="/users/Asmoday" rel="Asmoday"><img src="http://images.subeta.net/icons/gold.gif" border="0">Asmoday</a>)! It really isn't that hard! I don't have the money for my pet's "perfect minion" yet, so I will save for it, not that hard as well.
Unlike Neopet's we have so much control over how our pets look and their personality. Users are actually nominating for this spotlight, winners are not being pulled out randomly, there is thought and decision going into who will win. Some of the newest users can code and design just as well as the staff members that have been here for years!
GOD! Stop complaining. XD If I can do it, anyone can, believe me.
Now, that leads me to what I actually came here for: Is this going to be a weekly contest, bi-weekly, or what? <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

hmmmm the name does have unfortunate similarities to that 'other' site... and yes is usually a popularity contest altho its good you cannot nominate your own.
But considering how much goes into avatars I woulda thought you could have one for them too... perhaps a profile one as well...
and I do hope winning gives a lil award... and perhaps being nominated an achievement...lol

"I get a Neopet feeling about it. I hope this turns out better and not in some popularity contest with the additional mudslinging and such."
That's exactly what I thought when I first read this. Granted, Subeta users seem to be more mature than Neopets users in general, so hopefully this won't turn into an all-out popularity/advertising war like the Beauty Contest on Neopets.
I generally don't do much with my pets' profiles, but it will be nice to see those who do spend time on layout, story, and art get some recognition.
As a side note, I think changing the name (even a little bit) would help.

Still can't beleive you guys a ranting on this though. It wont be a "I'm more popular then you war" since the votes will be most probably checked and approuved by a staff. Give them a chance, don't you dare to judge them by what neopets already done.

I like the basic idea, even though it's similar to the Neopets contest, but the other ways in which it could become similar worry me. Everyone becoming so competitive over their pets that the forums are overrun with "vote for me" signatures, overlays become wildly expensive and sought-after (and stolen and plagiarized by both displayers and sellers), and theft of stories/art/treasure chest ideas/pet page coding becoming rampant. Hope there are safeguards in place. And is the whole site voting for the nominees, or the staff, or what?

I actually don't like this. It's a good idea in itself, but has a lot of potential to be abused. If it's strictly a nomination-count, then it's basically just Subeta Idol. Also, there should be a rule against using a layout that someone made for you, as that's more or less getting a reward for someone else's work. But that's just my two cents.

@FeralKoala : It seems a pet can only be nominated once per.. round (I guess?). So I don't know if this is necessarily a "popularity" contest because of that, although a single 'popular' user may have more than one of their pets nominated.
Which brings up a question... How often would a winner be chosen? -ponder-

What a great idea! Now this gives me a good motivation to actually finish up my pets and their profiles, heh. And to all those people comparing this to Neopets, please just stop. They're both pet sites so there are going to be similarities, okay? Would you all rather the pets on Subeta didn't exist? I mean, Neopets created their pets first so Subeta must have copied them OMG. I apologise if that was overly harsh but come on, guys. How many times have we heard the 'Neopets created this first!' line. It is getting rather tiresome and I'll bet Subeta is getting really fed-up of hearing it.
It's nice to see that lots of people are also praising this idea, though. Users spend millions on their pets so an idea like this is amazing.

I don't really mind the Neopets similarity, it's a nice feature and great to have some recognition for people's work on their pets, the only problem I have is the name. It's exactly the same, which just conjures to mind neopets...I'd love to see the idea stay, but tweaking the name a little bit would make me a lot happier about this.

To those of you saying it's like Neopets, think about this...on Neopets you had to submit your pets profile, here it's being done by nominations. And once again, just because Neopets did something, doesn't mean Subeta can't, and just because Subeta suddenly decides to do something Neopets did, doesn't mean Subeta is turning into Neopets.

Fuck off with the bs neopets comments. People work hard on their pets here and i dont see how this is a bad thing at all.

Pretty darned cool! This motivates me to work on my pets' profiles even more. Wonderful addition! Can't wait to see who gets nominated in the near future~

Question - would it be against the rules to put a link or something of the sort in your forum signature that says something like "Nominate Lei for the Pet spotlight" with the link his lookup? Or would be along the lines of the anti-begging rule?

Nice! I was going for all this with one of my pets already, but this makes it really neat. :3 Another site I used to haunt did something similar, and I really like the idea! :3

I actually really like this, pets need more love.
On another note - omg look, my Lei is in the news. (...not that I'm the only person with an angelic popoko or anything... [/fail])

I think this is a great idea! And having no prize other than recognition in the news is fine with me. Things like this should be about the pets and their personalities and such, not the sp.
Two quick questions though:
1. How often are winners chosen? Maybe once a week or so perhaps?
2. Not everyone can draw. If your pet has an overlay or some art that was done by someone else can you still win?

It's a good idea that you didn't mention prices, so it might not become some kind of popularity contest ^^

lol i agree with Penguinhoarder in the fact that it reminds me of the neopets competition, but at least that'll motivate us to work on our pets instead of just having them collecting dust on our profiles.
But what about a prize? ]:

That's neat! :3 I guess I'll have to do a lot of work if I want a chance at it, but it will also be really cool to see what gets spotlit. :3 The way the site is set up, everyone's pets are pretty much hidden away unless you make an effort to view them, so it's easy to just miss really cool pets... so this idea is great!

Of course this is announced when I'm still rebuilding pet profiles, and haven't even gotten to the point of re-adding their respective background stories. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />
Not like they're 'aesthetically pleasing', anyhow.

A nice idea, but only for those that are creative. I don't really like having to come up with stories for my pets, I'm just not that creative. I like to just have my pets with pretty colors and all.
But it's a nice feature for those who love to do stuff with their pets and all.

I saw the 'nominate for pet spotlight' link as I was checking out how to fix someone's coding...
man I was so lost xD "pet spotlight? what? ... and I don't see anything about it on the forums!"
obviously I need more coffee, lol
(... I'd like to think I stand a chance of winning one day, I did spend a lot of time on my pets' profiles... ah well, I can dream.)

lol oh I'll never win I'm just not creative enough.
This is a good thing though, it encourages more people to do things with their pets profiles and things.

I... don't like this idea.
It seems interesting, but I just have a feeling it might cause character, story, ect. theft more so. :/
How can we be sure, without worry, of HAVING this happen to us?

I love this idea! It gives a big incentive to working on parts of your pet you otherwise wouldn't except to roleplay... Plus it gives people more of a reason to buy overlays. ;D
