[@NuttsnBolts] If you guys were more consistent with your contests, they would likely be received better. Nothing's going to be a hit overnight. If you follow Frizan's contests, you'll notice they keep getting more and more contestants as long as he keeps to a monthly schedule. That's not to say you need to have a contest every month, but you do need to have one regularly. Then it becomes habit to check out the contest section. Since Frizan has started hosting the contests, I have voted in all of them. I've written reviews for all but one because there were only two contest entries. Anyone who posts in one of these contests and has been keeping an eye on Frizan-era contest section [i]expects[/i] me to say something. It's not always fun, sometimes I have other things on my mind. But I do it anyway because contestants deserve to hear what people thing of their work. They might not like what I say, but their work won't be ignored. If you want to do a contest, dry those eyes, dust off your boots, and be consistent. Now that the holiday whirlwind is dying down, I might even have time to join. But you won't know unless you try. Oh, and while we're talking about the contest in question, The main reason why I didn't join was because I use to RP a LOT of pirates. In fact I have two on this forum alone. I felt that the temptation to copy one of my old pirates was too great, so I thought it would be best to sit this one out. Wait, this topic is for discussing this month's contest. Shit! Um... Boy, can't wait for those results!
