Just finished voting. Not easy, some nice work there!
Here's my thoughts for the NEXT Gothicomp:
It would seem the organizers want the entries to be anonymous, which I agree is a good idea to prevent vote soliciting. For the same reason, they would rather not have us post other pictures of the entries, as then the work is no longer anonymous. However, one of the best parts of gothicomp is to expose new people to the hobby. And to me, having more BFG threads, photos, etc... = more buzz and exposure. I myself only got into BFG
because of gothicomp. In fact, I have never played a game
(I want to , but that's another story), I got my first BFG ships when I saw how cool they looked on the BFG threads at epic40k.co.uk (back in the day).
My suggestion would be to allow participants to submit up to 3 (or any given number) photos per entry. The first would be the standard photo we see on the galleries. The other photos would be placed anonymously into the "discussion" thread. We could also then "ban" composite images (an image where more than one view is seen), as there would be no need. Also, we could send in these other pics as wip photos.
Obviously, this would create more work for the moderators, and I certainly would understand if this is a dealbreaker. Alternatively, is there a way to post anonymously?
What do you think?
