It's time to vote for the lastest RRRR contest. Everyone can vote, and I encourage you all to browse the entries thread and vote, but refrain from having something in your mouth as the RRRR can not be held responsible for any damage caused by flying food or beverages.
Anyone can vote, not only those participating in the actual contest. You can vote for any entries except for you own entries, and we vote in two categories, Best and Funniest. Best is more of a traditional render contest voting where funniest more takes the humorous look at the image. Some images have a few lines of text explaining the story behind them, which often helps the voting, specially in the funniest category. Each win (1st to 3rd place) will also give the winner at least one sticky Lucky Bastard pull, which means the next round will be a little harder, see below for how wins and Lucky Bastards are counted. We have changed the dropoff of Lucky Bastards so you will loose at half of Lucky Bastard earned the previous round, and set a maximum of seven LBs affecting your pull, if you have more, you will just pull seven a little longer.

The voting starts now, and ends Sunday, September 10 at 23:59:59 DAZ Time
How votes are tallied and summed up:
Voting points: 1st = 5 points, 2nd = 4 points, 3rd = 3 Points, 4th = 2 Points and Tiebreaker = 1 Point.
If an image gets 1st, two 2nd, one 4th and two tiebreakers in a category, that is 5 + 2x4 + 2 + 2x1 = 17 Points
Every image points per category is summed up, and top three is calcutaled in each category. As we now have five prizes, a maximum of two entries from the same artist can end up top three in each category, this is to spead the joy a little more.
The image with most points from the same artist will be the base, the the average score for up to for other images will be added to that score, but if that image takes a top three placement, images who got to the cream of the crop with help from other entires, will gain extra LBs based on how many places it climbed, minus one. Here are two examples:
Example 1: The top image from X has 15 points. X also has five other images that has been voted for, 10, 8, 7, 7 & 5 points. Thaking the average of the first four images behind the top one is 10+8+7+7 = 8, so the first image which was at 4th place, now gets 23 points and rises to the top and becomes the winner. But, that image climbed 3 steps, so it will not only win, but give the winner 3 LB for the next run.
Example 2: The top image by Y has 11 points, and the second image 9 points. The top image will now have 20 points and go from 5th place to 3rd place, granting Y 2 LB for the next run.
If two images ends up with the same score, we use the same rules as in the European Song Contest, the number of higher scores wins over many lower scores, so if one image has 5+5+5+1 (16) and another has 2+2+4+4+2 (16) the first one will come before.
To avoid votespamming, anyone voting needs to post here in this thead that they did vote, and use the same name as they have posting here as the DAZ Forum name in the first question in the vote system at SurveyMonkey.
Remember to vote in both categories and place all five votes in both categories. Votes that fail to vote in both categories and votes faling to vote 2nd to 5th place will be discarded.

I Voted and all I can say is it was major hard to vote this time around because there was sooo many amaing renders!!!
I voted ;)
I voted - it was fun - been a while.
I haven't voted -- yet -- but since this appears to be the "active" RRRR thread, I'm posting here, with an announcement.
I have good news, really good news, and possibly not-so-good news.
First, the good news: After an unconscionably long and excruciatingly painful process (including a personal bankruptcy filing and adjudication), I have finally managed to dig out of the morass that resulted from the hacking episode of last year. But, everything has, at long last, been ironed out, and I am back on my feet – or at least on my knees.
The really good news is that I am now in a position to honor my obligations as an RRRR sponsor, and have, in fact, done so. All of the promised prizes have been delivered to their respective – and hopefully, correct – recipients, and I humbly and sincerely apologize to everyone for the unconscionable delay in getting it done.
And finally, the possibly-not-so-good news: I’m coming back to the RRRR, both as a participant, and as a sponsor (although probably not to the irrational extent that I previously had been).
And if you want to take that as a threat…, well, you probably should!
Ken O’Banion
Ken!!!! We've missed your humor around here. Hacking episode? What on earth happened to you? I'm glad you are doing better now, at least.
You didn't hear about that, barbult? Yeah, my bank accounts got hacked about a year ago -- both checking and savings (that overdraft protection turned out to be a huge mistake; it just gave the crooks a back door to my savings account). And all of those automatic payments -- insurance, phone, rent, and what-not -- got seriously bollixed. It was quite a mess, for quite a while.
I still don't know exactly how it happened, but I suspect it happened in Wisconsin; either my ATM card got "skimmed" at a gas station/convenience store in Middleton (the only place in town that I ever used it), or the card number got "sniffed" at my hotel there, after I had to have the card replaced (because it was just worn out, and the strip could no longer be read), which required entering the new card number into those automatic-payment accounts.
As I said, it was a huge mess, it nuked my credit rating, and it took nearly a year to get everything straightened out.
Oh, that's awful, Ken.
Great to see you back Ken!
I agree with barbult, I've missed you!
I see Ken, with his porclaine orchestra performing a cover of the old Beatles song, "Back in the RRRR"
Welcome back, Ken!
Why do i flash on the final scene from the old anti-war movie "the king of hearts" ?
where the hero chooses to enter an asylum after finding the inmates were much more rational than the world at large.
And I just got an idea for the next theme, unless the winner of funniest comes up with a better one.
RRRR - Looks who's back
What do you say? Of course "back" can be a revisit of any older RRRR entry, a mix of them. I See Mr Poofy Pants Sir Mandrake meeting Mr Muck over a cup of Interstellar surrogate coffee discussing the latest album by Ken's porclaine orchestra ;-)
And please - more votes!
Count me in!
Awesome idea. I must find out how Thomas and his cherry tree are doing these days. I wonder if Muck and mavka have kids.
Awesome! So glad to see you back Ken! And thank you again for the GC!
I like the Look Who's Back theme, Totte. I still have a Ken OBanion model which may show up along with Mr Poofy Pants in the next RRRR.
I voted!
I voted. Finally!
So..., when's the next one?
Oh, God, I think a lot of us are going to have a hard time getting to sleep tonight, with that mental picture seared into their brains...!
I ve voted!
Not only Ken is back, bohemian3 is also back from a long leave ;-)
It is so nice to see them coming back after being away for so long!!!!
Great to see you back Ken!!!
I voted.
So maybe the theme will be "They're ba...aack!"
(Was that the line from Poltergeist?)
Yes, something like that ;-)
I voted. So much fun to look through the thread.
Hope everything is sorted out for you, Ken. Could be any of us next.
Voting closed - tally in process.
Good Luck to all!!!
