Crystal Brush 2013 questions and discussion, is this the place to ask

[victoria]

Hi, I am going to Adepticon this year (all the way from Australia) and was wondering if there is somewhere for asking rules questions about the Crystal Brush?
Thanks,
V

Thanks for the links, I am trying to get some more info on this rule;
"3.c In the event of suspected vote fraud, CoolMiniOrNot shall have the power to disqualify votes or entries."
What counts as vote fraud? is it asking your friends to vote for your entry?
Thanks,

Haveing your friends vote for you is normal and allowed. Paying people to vote for you or offering a discount to your painting service is not.
Also comeing up with a computer program that floods the voteing site with votes for your mini would be another example of fraud.
Entering the same mini that was entered in another contest under a different name would also get the red flag.
Im not sure about this contest but some contest dont even allow you to post pictures online of your finished work before you enter but WIP are allowed.
To be safe i would not post pics of the mini you plan on entering that way close friends may vote for you but a website following would not know which mini is yours when voting. Good luck.

Ditto for creating Multiple Accounts with which to flood the voting. (I found a blatent example of that yesterday 5 accounts all using the same wording and same IP address......Guess what happended? Yeah Bad Cop)

Victoria from an admirer of your work I wish you lots of luck, go knock em dead girl!
