Yeah I didn't agree with that. Second place was pretty sick, but I loved third, especially the tees.

I kind of like the winning suit. Its definitely the sickest jacket and hoodie. Maybe they didnt want to spew color all over it like all the rest of the designs. Plus if first drop wants they can do the coloring.

i don't want to stir shit but isn't it kinda sketchy that most of the pink names all joined on the 26th march?

can mods check IP of posts to rule out aliases?

just seems odd

Haha wtf.. so gay. They just put it on a pretty background. And white would look so bad, get so nasty.

She most definitely cheated that one. A lot of the pink names joined that day and their last login was that day...

First up those are just the top 15 rated entries and Lesh and his team have yet to decide on the final 3 winners.

As far as the voting goes we've already addressed it in the original thread here https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/612163. Basically she got her friends to vote for her, same thing so many people do in the forums every day to sway contests on other sites, which is technically not "cheating"

I'm pretty bummed with the results, but what can you do. I spent hours designing my collection, and probably got like 4 friends to vote me up with 10's. Just some close friends that already had accounts. I don't know how many people voted but I have a feeling a lot of the people that just joined decided to vote down a lot of the other entries with 1's, because I ended with a 5.25.

But the fact that your suit doesn't even get a chance of winning if you don't get enough friends to vote for it seems kind of ridiculous. I have seen a lot of possibly winning designs not make the top 15. I guess to even have a shot at the competition you don't only need to design something that looks good, you need to do that and spam other forums/ask all your friends and family members to make a bunch of accounts and vote for you. Or you can just add a couple pockets or lines to the template and tell first drop to color it themselves...

/end rant. Next time I know what I need to do to have a shot

if you look at the comments under the winner, they are ALL no name members who address the entrant by name in almost every post. how fucking suspicious is that?

Everyone's aware of that, but there isn't much we can do, except for agreeing that the contest turned out bullshit

If it is RONDAWG's design, then why is the cathy person saying thanks to people who are saying it looks good.
