Okay! The winners have been decided! I've sent messages requesting their information, so you all have ONE WEEK to reply or you forfeit your prize/placement and someone else will take your place! The shop won't be opened until we get all 9 winner's responses and make sure they all have verified accounts so they're even able to receive their prizes in the first place (so don't take too long to respond or you keep everyone waiting!!)

Emoticon Contest Results!
 

It was a tough decision, but here are our winners!

Congratulations to our winners! I'll add your prizes to you as soon as possible! Keep an eye out for an Emoticon Shop update coming up within the next couple days!
------------------------------

There were a lot of other really good emoticons that I feel are worth mentioning. A few that really had us stumped on who to pick and had a lot of votes as well...I'd like to post some honorable mentions:

------------------------------
The poll got a whopping 751 votes (wayyyy more than the last one!) and here are some of the results for those who are interested in seeing:

Best Graphics

1. Night-Anthem* (Arrow Through Heart)
2. Lego (Attack!)
3. Aguzo (Deal With It)
4. deena (Blob Eating Popcorn)
5. Mryam (Notice Me Senpai)

Most Creative

1. Lego (Attack!)
2. Mount (Lost in Thought)
3. Night-Anthem* (Arrow Through Heart)
4. deena (Blob Eating Popcorn)
5. Aguzo (Deal With It)

Overall Favorite

1. Lego (Attack!)
2. Night-Anthem* (Arrow Through Heart)
3. deena (Blob Eating Popcorn)
4. Aguzo (Deal With It)
5. Lolli (Surrender)

Based off those results, the staff team and I discussed opinions of our own and came up with the winners listed above. Good job to everyone who entered! Once again, we honestly had a really hard time only being able to pick 9!

Oh, and just so you all know (something I was saving as a surprise at the end), everyone who participated in this contest will receive this "participation" emote to show off! (All except for the winners, who will receive emotes corresponding to their placements!)

Congratz to all the winners!

yooo an exclusive participation medal to participants!!! I'll gladly take that over nothing anyday aaaaa thank you coco <3

gratz to all participants

When you mess up so badly you don't even get the participation prize.

I've hit my lowest point.

Happy you added a participation medal, makes me feel special XD

congrats fellows

That’s tuff bro. And I thought having like 20 ppl messaging me saying they voted for me but I still lose was bad enough

atleast i came kinda close :')

Congratulations to everybody!!

Just because your submission didn't make it in the top 9 doesn't mean it was trash! You all did extremely well :) Keep pixeling! Practice for the next contest ;)

Also I'll be adding all the rewards as soon as I'm able (having a hard time logging in atm, but it could just be my computer). I'll make a post in this thread when I've added everything to everyone.

gj to everyone

*coughs* accessory contest next *coughs*


and could not login to graal atm as well..

edit:nvm can login now

Coco by trash I meant the idea xd

Practice for the next contest ;) [/QUOTE]

The real question is what is the next contest XD welp time to work on everyth8ng the contest might be XD

Honestly a bit surprised by the selections ( player votes and otherwise ).

It occurs to me that maybe having a list of qualities that would be criteria to be judged on in future events might help? That and coaching people in order to avoid wasting talent and time, but I've said that before.

Me too. *cough* pixel art museum contest *cough*

I was basing my votes on the practicality of the emote or how much it can blend in game.

Anyways there were alot of good ones. Congratulations to the winners! And there is always the next time!

See, that's what I meant... there were quite a few that were thematically well done, but the top list ones in the last (state) event were not chosen based on this. Then, the player voting was specifically asking about which ones were visually best and didn't discuss theme this time.

Also, I was definitely tempted to hop onto multiple google accounts for that voting procedure. Good thing it wasn't the sole deciding factor :P

Glad to see that the drama around the dog emote didn't hurt it's placing.

Based on the polls either attack or heart would have been 1st/2nd, blob 3rd, etc. Myram would have placed, but staff decision is final
All the emotes are good, so no one should be unhappy about where they placed. In the end, this kind of competition should be done for fun. It's an opportunity for all of us to better ourselves

Same, I said last night in my Discord server that "most useful" should have been a category and based on the results it seems like that was probably taken into consideration

#1 best graphics, #3 most creative, #2 overall favorite
But i got this " honorable placement "... logic pls ?��

Because vote poll are for judges influence the final decision are for judges.

Congrats for the winner!

soo.... when are we getting our participation medals?

we all will get the rewards probably when the emotes will be added in game

It's all good, coco was a stand-up gal and offered me the emote so props to her.

I believe 5th place is the center of the room, so wouldn't worry too much about it. The polls are taken into consideration, but not 100% in order to avoid a popularity contest or voting with multiple accounts
but hey if you don't want 5th place, I'll take it

Should’ve done Coco in a Spyro onesie to automatically win

okay guys, just working on setting up all the emotes in-game and working on the shop. Hopefully I'll get all the prizes added and the shop addition released by the end of today or early tomorrow! Thanks for being patient!

Can you post the results of the voting? I just gotta know where I landed :D

I didn't want to post all the results because I didn't want anyone who might not have gotten a lot of votes to have their feelings hurt. But if anyone really wants to know where they placed, message me here and I'll tell you privately. Then you can tell everyone if you want to. I'd rather do it that way than in a way that might upset people.

Just want you all to know that no matter where you placed, you all did a great job and don't let any poll results dampen your spirits when it comes to pixeling. <3

Thanks for mentioning mine tho I really appreciate it :0 its fine I had fun participating in this contest and yeah maybe next contest who knows, and congrats to you in winning and to others too !.

Well since coco said I could share the stats I would like to announce that I came in 41st overall with 26 votes. yAy...

I was part of the rear guard as well :D still had lots of fun though, and I’m still dying about the eggplant

I spit coffee all over my laptop that morning, Gut buster funny :)

Congrats to the winners :D

did i win?

Really sorry guys, trying to get the prizes out asap. Sorry it's taking so long x_x Hoping that I can get the shop done and the prizes out today. Thanks for being so patient, but definitely don't worry, you'll get them.

Not gonna lie, I started getting nervous and sent feed back “That Coco on graalians... that was legit right?? Hope I didn’t give away my ID :o”

I was rattled

The emotes are out now.
