The following people have sent votes:
Lionessmon, Deadborder, Jaxom, Kamadoma, Kaelin, KAndrw, mightyduck, jetfalcon, hiroki1998
The following people sent me votes, but there was some problem with what you sent - please contact me again!
darkbluesky/Blade, Maethius, sykwidit01, Grimm (I just need a PM back)
Remember, I need display name, login name, three Zoids, and one pilot. And if you didn't vote for a pilot, you can fix that and send one in now...'cause as it is, there are not many votes for that bit.

I'm probably being blind, but where are the Pilots pictures ?

I think it's just me, you, and a few others that bothered with that, Zed. >>

Any pictures that I got are up there in the bio text. Not everyone drew their pilot D:. Thoughts time now! My raw thoughts on things tend to be a bit gibberish-laden, so if you're wanting more serious ones...well, these probably aren't it. Anansi's Chariot: Remote control spider = awesome. Okay, so it doesn't move that well at the moment, but you'll get it going again. Besides, that goes with the story, which has a really nice feel to it. I like the comments on the third image that I need to upload too... Armored Tank: Tank as a drag racer is somehow amusing, and despite what you said I could so see competitive nasty racing in OER/OJR despite the serious old-school feel. (Hell, it seems like the sort of thing Zenebas might have gotten in trouble for doing as a kid.) And it's a Tank. With huge fins. That's cool. Bobcat: I'd really like to see more pictures of this thing from different angles in natural light...I get the feeling that it's more interesting and bud-y (as KAndrw said) in person. I always like your stories and pilots, and the extra all different continuities this year were fun to read. Gremlin: Simple, but effective - like some have said, this guy looks streamlined and zoomy without many additions. I dig the lavender-burgundy-black thing it has going on, too, and for some reason the pilot calling his Zoid "a real piece of work" made me grin. It sounds like he's arguing with it even as he's urging it on...and I know that feeling from RPGs. Hammer Strike: Purple :D. And you used CP-12 and hand painted :D. But seriously, I love purple/silver, and this has some really clever use of parts. Also amusing is the Zoid being colored after its pilot and not the other way around. For your issues with varnish...always have something on hand when painting to pick up parts that escape that's not your fingers. They ALWAYS find ways to cause trouble, even hand painting. Somehow. Hello! Führer: Like I said, I'd love to see panel lining and a Hello Kitty sticker sometime in the future, but I really like this thing. It's pink, but not LOL I AM A JOKE ENTRY pink, more a lighthearted pink like its child pilot no doubt asked for. PfeilCat: I still read this as "failcat". Blame cat image macros D:. I like it, though...it's all round and sleek on top of Helcat's already rounded form, like a cat that ate a lot and instead of getting rounder, got covered in boosters and went ZOOM. (I bet real cats wish they could do this.) The shade of blue isn't as bright as some, but it's a blue I don't see often enough. A little less green and it'd be close to the house I grew up in... Racing Mecha Chocobo: This is just...really cool. The paint is particularly smooth, and I adore the highlights in the eyes...they really sell the look to me. And it's a bird. Made out of a Jerk. That I actually dig. That in itself is impressive. I'm never played final Fantasy, but it's hard not to know Chocobos. Smythe Arms Top Fuel Sinker 1337: Oh man, if only the motor plot had worked. I was so sad when it didn't. However, the glowy LEDs of glowy doom are a nice compromise, and blue and silver is win...same with actually getting such HUEG boosters to work with the Zoid. I demand photos of your shiny pink Zoids in better lighting! Tornado Viper: Another simple but effective critter. It doesn't look super-different in thumbnails, but then you look closer and realize hey, it's a sleek jetlike snakeything. Two pilots is a different touch, and I'm a sucker for the childhood friends thing. Is that a Terragen rendering in the first pic? (edit) I hate you too, smiley.

Thank You everyone Tornado Viper: Another simple but effective critter. It doesn't look super-different in thumbnails, but then you look closer and realize hey, it's a sleek jetlike snakeything. Two pilots is a different touch, and I'm a sucker for the childhood friends thing. Is that a Terragen rendering in the first pic? No, just use Google and search a picture that is good enought to use.

I broke the fabric of space-time inserted the smiley as an image :D.
And dang, that background looks Terragen-y. Maybe wherever you got it from used it?

Tilly - This is just the first round, right ?
So if there are two Zoids tied for third, I'd be happy to let four Zoids into the next round, to face the Final Vote.
Alternatively, get Pheno to cast the deciding vote. Its about time he got off his @$$ and showed his face around here ;D

There can be four, we just...need a fourth prize for the one that makes finals but doesn't go on to the Grand Prix. Any volunteers to give one?

In the even of a tie,
THE WILL BATTLE IN A BATTLE WHERE THERE CAN BE NO WINNER! WHO WILL WIN?
How about they wane poetically about the greatness of Iguan, or something?
So many possibilities... I want a tie :p

I don't think there has to be a forth prize. But how about a Custom-made-Tilly Avatar / Sig stating: LOSER !
I'd like, if I was forth ...
