This vote has been totally compromised and should be nulled. Obviously, Smaragda is using proxies to vote his logo into the winners circle.
Look man, no offense to you and your design but this is not the way to win. It is akin to stealing 120K qrk and leaving the entire quark community holding the bag with an inferior design for a logo.
I know a good logo when I see one and that is not it. Yes it is nice to look at in an archaic dungeons and dragons sort of way but it does not portray quark in the right light.
I feel bad for saying this stuff because I know as an artist myself how much work goes into the design process but this is a not a free-market vote. Smaragda is rigging the voting apparatus. There is nothing that justifies this insane lead in voting based on what I see with my own eyes.
I am trying to protect quark's image and our investments in it but you are playing games trying to collect with only your own interests in mind.
FORK THIS VOTE NOW. I am sickened by this treachery.
BOXXL - you nailed it. That logo is stunning. Its simplicity speaks volumes.
@KJO, You were one of the original users that started this mess. You criticized smaragda back when he/she only had 20 votes and you even accused them of cheating. Your statements were totally uncalled for and unsubstantiated.
Please outline the chain of title to placing blame on me for pointing out the voter fraud.
Go ahead.
Unsubstantiated? You mean back when smagardilla had a 35% lead on the next design even though his design is "not the best" and it was clear voter fraud had occurred?
I appreciate your comments however you need to zoom out. You fail to mention I have no design in this contest and I am not a party to this mess. Nor do you mention the fact that smagmatillia attacked me for raising the issue calling me a troll for not supporting his design and calling out the voter fraud.
Original user? I do not even understand what you mean by that. Original user of what?
UNsubstantiated and uncalled for? If anything my friend, it shows I was right to call it out....look at this bloody mess of fraud and greed.
Go ahead mate, show me the chain of title.
@KJO, Having 35% of the lead when the leader only had 20 votes total is not substantial evidence that anyone is cheating and it's honestly laughable.
I don't necessary care for Smaragda's logo but it'swrong to say that they cheated so early in the contest with so little votes.
If Smaragda had 500 votes in the first day then yeah that's kinda sketchy but that's not the case.
These are the types of ridiculous accusations that are running rampant in this thread.
I already asked you for your proof of claim, where is it?
Or are empty accusations from you all I get?
You say I am to blame for calling out the fraud...you are a nutjob. A hypocritical nutjob.
Your frivolous claim that I somehow hold liability in this mess is very telling of someone who is too blind to see and too deaf to hear any truth.
You are blind. Face it, you are just pissed that the prize money is gone and you need a punching bag.
I am not that punching bag.
It is obvious to everyone smagmadillo was spamming for votes. It's all over the quark boards but since it is apparent you did not know this, I can only assume you have never been to qrk.cc.
IN any event, I am still waiting for any proof of claim for your absurd diatribe and ludicrous accusations.
Go head, I'm still waiting on that chain of title while your face turns blue.
