Biorust battle question..

Chica-X · 05-31-2007

Hello, I was wondering, if it was like an unspoken rule of not posting your battle images into your gallery until the battle is done. Is that a rule or no? Because as many battles as there are you hardly see any of it in a person's gallery, at least that is what I am assuming..

Damn, my mind is just merging with fellow members tonight.

I was wondering the same thing. Buy hey, if it's about the one SnowDog posted, I don't see why not seeing as how he's the only judge. I guess that would be up to him.

To be honest, I think I've seen people post their submissions in the gallery in the past. I say go for it or wait and ask the battle creator.

But think about this; do you really want to divulge the secrets of the universe before a grand audience that may defeat you in battle?

Thats the thing I was thinking about. I mean posting a battle submission before it's voted, would mean to give your idea away..But..The playa would lose his game, considering the original piece was posted in the gallery before the battles were done, if someone does something similar, then the people could see it.

I don't think it's much of a risk myself. But I still hold out, for some odd reason lol. I think I shall post mine, after Snowdog's permission of course.. and every piece is inspiring, so I shall inspire..someone..maybe err yeah. lol.

I think that the point is that participants in Battles are supposed to be anonymous to avoid "swaying" the votes. If you enter an image in a Battle and post it in the Gallery at the same time it might be seen as an attempt to influence the voting. I can't see that there would be a problem after the Battle has finished, though.

I'll move this thread to the Battles Discussion forum, and maybe one of the Battle Mods can give a definitive answer.

aha! I hadn't even thought about that! Thanks! Now I shall keep my secret safe with me! lol.

Exactly the right answer. All battles are anonymous to prevent favoritism. It is, of course, perfectly permissible to add your creations to the gallery too, but only AFTER the battle has finished... otherwise it wouldn't be anonymous and i'll disqualify the offender from the battle.

I shall not post a thing until the correct time. Thanks for clearing that up!
