Posted January 14, 2011 there are between 8 and 9 thousand trees. the actul number is known only to TJ and maybe some mods. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 14, 2011 Nevermind - I finally saw that we have almost - 9K to get through. How do we know, anyhow? Is there an official report? Share this post Link to post
Posted January 14, 2011 There are not nearly OVER NINE THOUSAND, but I believe that's the only thing TJ's said. So 8000-9000 trees, but I haven't heard anything concrete. Considering a day or so in all the trees had received 120+ votes, I wouldn't worry about any trees not receiving enough votes or a bunch of trees receiving a bunch less votes than others. The finally tally will be taken by average, anyway, which should even out any voting number inconsistencies. I also have to agree that I really don't see why people would vote empty trees 10's. Yes, the artist who did the tree did a fabulous job, but this is about how the user decorated it, not how well the artist did in spriting the tree (and the artists who did the presents). You may think it's creative the first five times you run across it, but wait until you've seen it fifty+ times. I will be sad if people upvoting blank trees pushes decorated trees out from the top 200. 3: And I know some people's trees glitched and gave them empty trees, and I'm sorry that happened, but I have to vote on basis of what the tree looks like, not if I feel sorry for the user. <3 Share this post Link to post

On another note, how many people are crazy like me and at least half wish that at the end of the voting, it would go: "round 2 - top 25-50% rated trees, cast your new vote" and so on till it was narrowed down a little. lol I really would only want that to see which ones are liked over all.

Posted January 14, 2011 I... I'm done. I've voted on all of them. I did around 1800 yesterday, and about 2300 today, so I must have totally blown my estimates for the first few days (I thought I'd done around 2000). Though I fall into a category, no one's tree could be mistaken for mine; I'm proud of that. I found that when I first started voting, I thought I totally had a chance to win, but as I got towards the end, I started to lose confidence. I think I still have a chance, but it feels very much up in the air. People are so picky about what they like and dislike that I don't feel like I can read the situation at all. That's not to say that they're wrong -- I'm picky as heck myself. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 14, 2011 i'll never get finished D: then you'll have something to do for a long time I doubt I'll finish in time either, but I don't really care... Share this post Link to post
Posted January 14, 2011 I hope it doesn't hinge on having to vote for all of them! I can't do 9000 trees, I simply can't. I didn't even try to count what I've voted for so far, but good Lord.... to hear that people have FINISHED voting, and I've no idea if I've even made a dent in the process... *head spins* Looking forward to the end of this.

Posted January 14, 2011 I have seen the Pac Man tree! * * * * * Perfect stopping point for the evening. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll see a few more of the ones people keep mentioning here! Share this post Link to post
Posted January 14, 2011 9K in trees. Wow...Just wow O_O Back to voting I go Share this post Link to post

Posted January 14, 2011 Well, seeing all the fantastic and creative trees out there, I'm somewhat less confident mine will win anything, but I will certainly be keeping my eyes open for the winning dragons' progeny once people begin to breed. There are some AMAZING designs out there. Well done little Tree designers! *continues to plug away at the voting process* Share this post Link to post
Posted January 14, 2011 well I know I have prolly covered around 4000 trees... only like 10'0000 more to go! Share this post Link to post
Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) well I know I have prolly covered around 4000 trees... only like 10'0000 more to go! nah, if you've done 4000 then your half way there. lol edit: typo Edited January 14, 2011 by DragonLady86 Share this post Link to post
Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) oh, oh, oh!!!!! just saw one of the ones i've been waiting for!!! *i'm pretty sure i'm quite close to the end here, there are just a select few concept trees that i haven't seen yet* there have been many that had the nutcracker/angel/gingerbread man together, like they were getting married. but this one had the nutcracker and angel together in the middle of the tree, with a large heart surrounding them made out of ornaments, and then the bell ornament hanging above that! sweet as sugar! the other ones that i haven't seen yet: pac man, 2 fish trees, wolf/coyote and the dc logo one *dragon coming out of the DC, not just the letters DC* *crosses fingers* i think i'm pretty close to being done voting!!! pushing it hard over here, in a completely non-nasty way! ETA: oh man, i just saw a really cute one!!! but unfortunately, i couldn't give it a very high score, because while the concept was super cute, the tree was katamari!!! but on the side, those gourd-shaped ornaments were stacked up, and then the dragons were standing on them and then at the very top, was one of the birds, trying to put the star on top of the tree!!!! was a cute idea!!! ETA: *yes, again! where is everyone in this thread?!?! i keep having to edit instead of post... this is going to be the longest post in human history!* i just a really freaking awesome dragon tree!!!! some of these dragon trees are just amazing!!! i don't know how they do it!!!

Posted January 14, 2011 then you'll have something to do for a long time I doubt I'll finish in time either, but I don't really care... lol >_< i try and do a few trees every few 30 minutes my fingers get tired of clicking Share this post Link to post
Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) D= why did I did a traditional tree? Everyone seems to prefer the original ones Edited January 14, 2011 by Mystic_Solara Share this post Link to post
Posted January 14, 2011 oh, i just saw the howling coyote tree!!! 'nother one i can cross off my list!!! Share this post Link to post
Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) D= why did I did a traditional tree? Everyone seems to prefer the original ones actually, i like the traditional ones more! the reason i *and i think most other people* are posting which concept trees they've seen, it's more like a game of hide and seek! someone says "oh, i saw the fish one!!" when someone reads that and then they see the tree, it's like "omg, i just saw that one too!!" it's more like a game of tag, so to speak! but i decorated my tree traditionally as well. and i like the ones that you could pull off in real life, rather than ones that have ornaments floating in outer space!!! ETA: hahahaha, i saw the infamous naked tree, with the single gray bauble on it!!!! ROFL!!!! and i think i saw a tree that had a bird of prey going in for the kill on a rat... ETA: woah, definitely the biggest dragon i've seen so far- the whole tree was the dragon!!! Edited January 14, 2011 by misfitknits Share this post Link to post
Posted January 14, 2011 D= why did I did a traditional tree? Everyone seems to prefer the original ones Actually, I've seen strong supporters of original ones and strong supporters of traditional ones. And then people like me who have voted both types high and low. :3 Share this post Link to post

Oh, I see. Even thought I like the original ones, I too prefer those you could do in real life. Mine is pretty similar to the one that decorates my living room every year, in fact And so far I've only seen the Fire breathing dragon tree! I'm looking forward To see the rest:p Share this post Link to post
