RE: Promo Contest!
I'm gonna be a good boy and do the on-topic stuff first. Evil
Warning, this is another essay-length post. THE THEME IS THAT I LIEK MUDKIPZ. Aherm.


I dislike that they were all grouped together. I'm looking for something different in loading screens than I am in banners and in videos. A suggestion for next time is to not pit apples against oranges against cherries, and divide them all up into different categories- Best in X, for example.

MY OPINIONS

Videos
Being a music person myself, I really liked Tulwar's.
Shin's was just funny as hell. Clearly not a real submission, but still entertaining- 'specially when he was trying to rotate the camera to get a different angle and the game kept telling him no XD (Dis)Honorable mention =P

Banners
Banners are the kind of thing that usually die to Ad Block Plus, so I can't honestly rate these...

Little Icon Things
Um... No real preference here except to the marin one just because I like the color blue (impossible, I know xD).

Loading Screens
My fav was Nero's. The new one he made "out of boredom", that is. The other was nice, but the newer one was better =P As to the other submissions...
The "last-minute" one felt a little rushed, and I'm just not a fan of "noisy" loading screens (since idealy you only see them for a couple of seconds). Noisy ones make you go AWWWW when it finishes loading because you weren't done reading/viewing.
As to the other ones. Meh, not bad, but I wasn't too impressed.
Underscore's actually draws a bit of a complaint. It seems to be suffering from Male Gaze, as the first thing my eyes are drawn to is her rack. Now, I like breasts as much as the next guy, but still... I don't like it when an RPG in which I play a lot of female characters is making me think BOOBIES!!!! all the time. Leads to unfortunate implications and self-squick. And unfortunately, my Brain Bleach supplier seems to have vanished.
Oh, and my Honorable Mention goes to the three comic things that Enki posted. yes, I am proud of my silenced shroom =D Thank you for asking No1



As to the GML's and Tulwar's whine and stuff...
Well...
I for one didn't know KoJ had even ONE GML until someone said it (and even then, my first hearing of it was from someone in DoE, at which point I immediately filed it as random BS (somewhat of a paraphrase/edit, but the same meaning of how I was told: "Oh *of course* you only try because you have a GM in your guild paying you for trying"... really guys? You say you want a fun, active woe, but you're actively discouraging participation. Might wanna invest in new shovels, unless you plan on taking your gunsights off your foot sometime soon. Your current ones look a little worn))... and even if I did, I wouldn't have ever said anything about it and then would have pretended they weren't GMs outside of PMs to ONLY them because, hmmm, GM Legit probably doesn't want people to know that they're a GM Legit.
BUT THAT'S JUST ME. Unfortunately some other people seem to have huge mouths they can't keep shut glares at the unknown first perpetrator of this knowledge.

But to the rankings...
You have to remember that with a performance piece, it's always a gamble as to whether the person viewing it is a music person or not. A musically inclined person will appreciate it; one that's never performed to anything other than the bathroom mirror or bar likely won't.
For Example, my highschool's concerts. Jazz Band (well, our higher one... the lower one used to be decent, but it died after my freshman year, and never acquired enough carries (as much as the director tried) to make them passable) wakes the audience up, and they enjoy what we played. Full Orchestra, while playing some neat stuff, puts them to sleep. While us musicians can appreciate stuff like a ten minute orchestral (<3333 Tchaikovsky and Shostakovitch) piece, non-musicians tend to get bored less than a minute in.
But Hey, if you'd rather blame conspiracy than the logical explanation, be my guest. If you look for something hard enough, you'll find it whether it's there or not.
Soviet Russia proved that, comrade.

?(?????)
no IFs ANDs or XORs.
