VOTING HAS BEGUN FOR THE MYLIGHTS COMPETITION!

How to vote: At the bottom of every myLights entry, there is now a button to vote. You can vote ONCE for each entry.

How to find entries: Visit your friends' profiles (and their friends' profiles) and look for the myLights banner at the top of their profile. If they are entered in the myLights Christmas Competition, the myLights banner will appear. Click the banner to view their entry; if you like the entry, vote for it!

Voting closes December 31 at 3:00 pm Egg Cave Time. We will tally the votes and announce the winners on New Years.

And due to popular demand, submissions are still being accepted while voting is commencing. It's not too late to enter just yet!

AND YES -- a trading system will be released in January! Thanks for hanging tight.

But then it would be unfair for those who entered late. There's dozens of ways any voting system wouold be unfair if you think about it...

elluwah • 22 Dec 2009, 3:03 PM

No, I think that would have been a good idea. Although, there should've been a deadline for entries so everyone get's them in on time.

xsoappp • 22 Dec 2009, 3:15 PM

If you have time, please take a look at my entry. Vote if you like it. ^^ Can't wait for a trading center. O:

icymuffin • 22 Dec 2009, 3:16 PM

Now that you mention it, that is true. Everyone knew about the Dec. 20 deadline.

xsoappp • 22 Dec 2009, 3:16 PM

I agree with meteoroid's idea of having one vote per account. That way, users can actually think about who they vote for since they're

xsoappp • 22 Dec 2009, 3:16 PM

limited to one vote.

accat • 22 Dec 2009, 3:18 PM

Phew, I`m not the only one who thinks the voting system is a bit odd o.o I only voted on 2 entries and initially I only wanted to vote ONE

Meteoroid • 22 Dec 2009, 3:32 PM

Yes, people need to vote on an entry that they like, not because of the creator. For example, someone could post a picture of a pile of snow

Meteoroid • 22 Dec 2009, 3:33 PM

and still win because they have a ton of people in their friend list to spam "plz vote lol".

thursdays_dove • 22 Dec 2009, 3:39 PM

I voted for a couple, but only because I really liked them. If I see any others that I really like, I will also vote for them.

thursdays_dove • 22 Dec 2009, 3:39 PM

I won't say who, but I checked out a few entries of people who asked me to look at theirs, and some of them weren't very creative, so I-

thursdays_dove • 22 Dec 2009, 3:40 PM

did not vote for them. :/

losorlaugh • 22 Dec 2009, 3:42 PM

hm yeah I have voted for about 10 now not 6☚ī¸ anyway I cant wait for the Trading system, coz if I cant get egg from store I'll get that way.

auraboros • 22 Dec 2009, 3:45 PM

Competitions are fun, but I totally agree. A system more like the Customization Spotlight rating on Neopets is more fair. That way you all-

auraboros • 22 Dec 2009, 3:47 PM

the entries and get to go through and rate them from 1-10 stars. <-Way better method. Now it seems like it will only be a popularity-

auraboros • 22 Dec 2009, 3:47 PM

contest, not a genuine creativity contest.

Meteoroid • 22 Dec 2009, 3:54 PM

Exactly. I wish this contest could rewind itself and have a new voting method, but it seems to be a bit late to do that.

smartie2742 • 22 Dec 2009, 4:45 PM

I concur with auraboros about the popularity thing. I was hoping there'd be pages of pictures we can look through and vote for. But it seems

smartie2742 • 22 Dec 2009, 4:46 PM

that only the popular users will get votes and the poor, unrecognized creative genius get nothing... Speaking of which, where are all the

smartie2742 • 22 Dec 2009, 4:47 PM

superly dooperly original creative entries? All the ones I've seen just look like regular, everyday Christmas decorations. =/

reamzix • 22 Dec 2009, 4:48 PM

I agree with you guys.I just want people to check out mine,I want to be notice so that people can decide if they like it or not and vote -c-

reamzix • 22 Dec 2009, 4:48 PM

if they would like to. No force. Just want to have a chance.

reamzix • 22 Dec 2009, 4:50 PM

😊

icymuffin • 22 Dec 2009, 5:00 PM

Well we can't do anything about it now since the competition is already up and running

icymuffin • 22 Dec 2009, 5:01 PM

Except for maybe bombarding Ian with demands to put all the pictures on page 😃

xsoappp • 22 Dec 2009, 6:23 PM

Lol@icymuffin. I'm pretty sure Ian won't change the voting system but it wouldn't affect the contest if he put all the entries on one page;

ginna3525 • 22 Dec 2009, 6:40 PM

see my entry and if you liked vote for it

kciw • 22 Dec 2009, 6:43 PM

check out my entry!

smarties2218 • 22 Dec 2009, 6:52 PM

TRADING CENTER! YESSS~~~~

kciw • 22 Dec 2009, 7:04 PM

if anyone has an extra treelar UFA could i have it?

icymuffin • 22 Dec 2009, 8:03 PM

@kelliebellie-- No, thats not true. If you look around closely, there's dozens of people who didn't use christmas trees.

icymuffin • 22 Dec 2009, 8:04 PM

Mine isn't, nor miomar's, and meteoroid's

thursdays_dove • 22 Dec 2009, 9:02 PM

I've now donated 4,000,000 EC to the Calla Fund.... >_>

auraboros • 22 Dec 2009, 10:40 PM

😱 Wow thursday's_dove, your hand must be tired! xD I just donated some more, too. We're getting there: 80,600,000 / 500,000,000 EC

auraboros • 22 Dec 2009, 10:44 PM

@kelliebellie: Yeah, most are. Mine is, too. :/ But my tree is special -- there's a horseshoe crab and a clay unicorn underneath it. xDDD

ambsie • 22 Dec 2009, 10:57 PM

YAY THE TC. anyone want to trade a mo for one of my terrons

accat • 23 Dec 2009, 3:52 AM

Off topic - anybody figured out yet how the xmas creatures hatch yet? xD Or at least some of them

elluwah • 23 Dec 2009, 4:33 AM

Haha my entry isn't a Christmas tree at all. It's a bunch of tinsel on the floor with a few lights and drawings! xD

dragonfriend • 23 Dec 2009, 11:47 AM

The ImageShack thing didn't work for us, but we would've won something for sure :'(

soupnazi • 23 Dec 2009, 12:24 PM

This is a nice competition, but the voting is not good at all. Someone could make a really nice entry, but because nobody knows them they

soupnazi • 23 Dec 2009, 12:25 PM

don't win. It would be better if there was a list of entries that didn't say who made it (So that you can't have friends blindly vote for

soupnazi • 23 Dec 2009, 12:26 PM

you easily) and is randomly generated each time you look at it so everyone will have a fair chance. I know it's too late to change it now,

soupnazi • 23 Dec 2009, 12:27 PM

but I think this is a better way

frescotux1o1 • 23 Dec 2009, 12:29 PM

yay, that list thing that soupnazi mentioned should be existing right now. ☚ī¸

elluwah • 23 Dec 2009, 12:37 PM

I agree... that sounds like a much better method. Especially because the users would be anonymous, therefore making it fairer to everybody.

ared • 23 Dec 2009, 2:57 PM

It's hard to find all the pics:S

iceiceice • 23 Dec 2009, 5:20 PM

o.e

ginna3525 • 23 Dec 2009, 7:02 PM

see my entry and if you liked vote for it

qesque • 23 Dec 2009, 7:18 PM

Good luck to all who have entered. =D And yay for a trading center!

mellyottl • 23 Dec 2009, 7:25 PM

I am wondering if I should stop being so lazy and take a picture for this mylights, seems like too much work *yawns*
