I hope I'm chosen....

Go VAMPYR!

After careful consideration, I'm starting to understand Germanator's point. I'm seeing now that no matter whose work is better, people will vote according to who they have money riding on.

When you gamble on something you usually don't have control over the outcome and so this makes this event very foul.

It's obvious people who bet it all on Vampyr will vote for Vampyr. And people who bet on me would vote for me.

Seeing as there is a bunch of money riding on Vampyr, I highly doubt I will win now.....

After seeing the submitted work, How many people can honestly say they would go against their bet and vote for the better piece? Not many people would choose to lose their doubloons.

This vBookie event has become a cheap easy money event. People who bet on the outcome should've have control over the outcome.

For this event, I CRY FOUL and I wish to have this vBookie invalidated.
And I'm challenging Vampyr with these new stipulations:

1. Must be more than 400x400
2. Elements can involve 3DSM/Stock Images/Photoshop

Voting:
10 to win
No Owned Voting

Winner:
Gets pride
Loser:
Gets respect for trying

I don't want ANY doubloons riding on this challenge, because it makes the challenge dirty... unless we can somehow restrict the people who bet from voting.

Nonsense, it is too late cancel the competition. The challenge will go on!

After the vBookie has closed and both competitors have submitted their pieces, my royal panel of 5 judges will critique your work and determine the winner. No judge will have participated in the vBookie.

My royal competition is 100% fair. Anyone who says otherwise will pay the ultimate price.

Vampyr just has a naturally larger fan base.

If people'd bet on him, they'd probably also have a natural bias.

Keeping the vBookie wouldn't be much different. People'd just end up with more dubloons.
