Here's a question: I entered my pumpkin in the contest last night. Will there be a way to know if the entry was was successfully submitted? Or should I just wait until current entries post is updated? This is my first time entering the contest so that's why I'm asking. Very Happy



If you got no error message in you email saying your email was not send for some reason, then just wait until later this afternoon for entries to be updated. they updated like once or twice a day, depending on how many submissions they have. good luck.

how many attack on titan entries do you think are going to be submitted?


Every year there seems to be a dominant anime and AoT seems to be the one for this year. But that shouldn't be a surprise considering how popular and recent it was.

I'm guilty of jumping on the bandwagon. ^^; But AoT is perfect for Halloween! I mean, with some anime, it's kind of hard to justify incorporating it into Halloween because the characters aren't scary. But AoT is full of horrific imagery and has so many terrible creatures, it just becomes a matter of choosing how you want to scare the trick or treat-ers.

I sent in my entry 2 days ago and it still isn't on the site. Did it reach you guys or did I make an error?

Well... I'm a little relieved and aggravated right now. I knew finishing mine was going to come down to the wire (I didn't even put in the amount of detail I really wanted), and then Yahoo email wouldn't cooperate with me (took a long time and then wouldn't allow me to attach files). I ended up submitting mine a couple minutes or so late via a different email, not to mention I hurriedly picked one of the pictures I took (and not that great of one). Crying or Very sad Oh well, at least I can rest now.

Maybe it's because I'm just not really tech-savvy when it comes to computers, but is anyone else confused about the voting process? Or for that matter, is anyone even getting it to work correctly?

Think computerized sports-bracket style elimination. You judge each pumpkin in sets of two. Your judgement of each carving against another reduces the logic tree to rank them. It can be a bit tedious, as there are many combinations, but you'll reach an endpoint.

Is the "I can't decide" button broken for anybody else too? I tried in FireFox and Chrome, but it does nothing in both, so I'm always forced to pick one picture or the other. I feel like this might screw up the results quite a bit.

My cannot decide button is broken as well, and I don't want to pick either on some of them.

Same. Every time I get to my own Pumpkin, I want to click the "I can't decide" button, but it won't let me, so I'm forced to choose. I don't think that's fair to everyone...

I contacted them, and one of the people said they would look into the issue. Sadly I think the damage is pretty much done at this point though.
