Hey, this is the actual designer I didn't know about this site until yesterday, next time I'll definitely post my entry earlier! Thanks and I'm glad you like it!

I would say its been about 50/50 from what i can see in terms of who's been on top in the fog. CWarrington's page has us and Youbetchacan neck and neck right now, with Sublimican out in front by about 30(ish) still.

Good luck to you as well! Looking forward to seeing how everything pans out this weekend!

Oooh... this will be especially interesting since Youtbetchucan has just fallen out of the hotness after so long. I have no idea how SDS keeps estimates, but I wonder if it might be off a bit because the fogged entries haven't been dominating the hotness as much as they do in most derbies? Or maybe I've just been noticing it more in this derby because I'm more interested in the outcome than usual.

Since the three of us are so close right now, do you think a three-way tie would be possible? That would be amazing, because I really want Fantasma... XP

A bunch of horse-bird-dragons spooning with each other around a sword? How the hell is this the winning shirt?

Re: Visit Mechaslavia!

You have no idea how badly I want this shirt to win. It beats every design in the fog with a baseball bat made of lead.
xD
Even if it doesn't win, I will gladly wait the 60 days in order to purchase it at another site.

Nice first post, bonehead. Chill out, it hasn't won yet. Besides, it's a rather cool design.

It fell out of the fog or out of the hotness?

The way I understand it, for the fogged shirts, SDS looks at the hotness ratings for those 4 shirts every three hours and uses them to add to the vote totals. If a shirt isn't in the hotness but is in the fog, it inputs the highest possible vote total the shirt could have but still be out of the fog (... so really the lowest fog total). As a result the totals are usually a bit inflated because it would only be perfect if each shirt was always one vote away from the hotness.

Sorry, I meant the hotness. Edited my original comment so as not to confuse anyone.

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but fogged entries in most derbies I've participated in seem to always be at the top of the hotness. The fact that we've all been dropping in and out of the hotness may actually have a profound effect on the estimates, if your understanding is correct. It's probably a bit more complicated than that though (i.e. not just looking every three hours but keeping a constant tab on the hotness and doing some magic calculations with that info).

Re: Worm Hole Republic

GO WORM PR0N!!! WE LOVE HOLES!1!!!!

I mean nice shirt. i'd buy 2.

...TO GET MY WORM AXXXTION ON!11!!!!!

I think it may be a battle of inches between worm hole and pica republic for third place though pica was in the fog from the very beginning...

Should be an interesting outcome indeed.

Gah! This is my favorite in the fog.... if not 3rd, a tie please. *crossing fingers/toes*
Good luck brian!

I realize that if they all quit entering I still wouldn't win, but I'll amend the list at that time. Thank you everyone for helping support this worthwhile cause. (sorry if I left anyone out)

well said. I feel a bit left out, but then maybe I could place. ;)

c'mon people - lets find a new topic for whining. please?

Re: The Roar of Basstown

YES!
I want 1 .. or 2

Re: Oenophilistan

The only shirt in this derby I'd wear and do so proudly. I would even keep wearing it if I spilled red wine on it like I did my 3-D Lion.

Re: République de Vapeurland

I'm baffled that this isn't at the top of the pack. Definitely my favorite entry of the derby! Perhaps it will get a second chance second life.

Re: Postcards Sent Home

Ooh, I really like this design - I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more votes.

or you could always submit as a daily. that way you can have rights back to it if you choose.

Re: Kingdom in my Head

well looks like im stuck at 12th llo. thanks to everyone who voted. It 13 place higher than my last one! so thats a plus

taikuodo wrote:Yeah , I respect other people's opinions that they like the other shirts, and i hope you respect mine that i dont like the others and i like this one :-)

Mmkay, things make sense now. Sounds good. As a human, I think I can dig being mutually respectful people. As an artist, I think this means that I should thank you profusely for your unwavering dedication to my shirt, though I am sorry the other shirts don't catch your fancy. I think they're kind of neat, myself. Nifty gold chocolate coin for you?

markwolcott wrote:A bunch of horse-bird-dragons spooning with each other around a sword? How the hell is this the winning shirt?

Ouch. If it's a comfort, it isn't a winning shirt (or I'd be very shocked if it was). Secondly, I'm sorry you think it lacks somewhat...though your description is oddly apt. 'cept for the dragon part, I guess. Anyway, I'm sorry I've disappointed you. I'll try to draft a more acceptable design next time.

2thFairy- Thanks for the small bit of defense.

Hilarious. There is nothing funnier I can think of...or hope for.

Re: The Pica Republic

great design!

Thank you very much! I like it, too and wish it had done better.

Re: Checkerslovakia

Does that make the leader of the government in exile (London) Chancellor of the Ex-Checkers

Re: Mech-Zikko

I want one

I can't decide between Wormhole and Sublym.

They both ruuule!

Re: Visit Mechaslavia!

Hahaha, this is amazing. I adore the fine print. Hurry and get it up there before it's too late!

i liked it a lot more when it had fewer votes than i did. seriously, great design and best of luck!

Awesome, I'll look into that. One way or another I just really want this to be a shirt I can wear!

*giggles*, sorry, didn't mean to upset the apple cart. Or the Griffin cart as it were. I really adore the artwork on your design, very regal.

Re: The Pica Republic

This is my favorite of all the fogged designs - here's hoping it's victorious! I've always wanted a shirt with "lorem ipsum" on it... on top of which, the little fox and dog are exceedingly cute.

One of the rules for this derby was that it could not be all text. Perhaps you could add a grammar book to the design or something else related to propositions, to keep this from being rejected.

oops meant PREPositions

Re: Visit Mechaslavia!

Love the fine print. Just wondering how well it would print.
Xz - I really enjoy your sense of humor - hope to see more designs from you!
And thanks for doing this on RED!!
