Sprite Theme Contest v.3

[Reaper]

Thing is... The people who tend to give critics will do so either way (in a more detailed manner if they are judges and not always if they are not) and the ones who don't... won't.
Of course it would be great if everyone gave points/ranks for the single sprites, providing reasons for his decision, but in the end it would probably just lead to less people taking the time to vote.
About the mysterio-system: It would have been interesting if some people had been trying to mimic the style of others, but as it was, it didn't make too much of a difference as you almost always knew who sprited what, resulting in little to no change in voting/commenting behaviour whatsoever. At least that was my impression.
I haven't been a fan of the judge-system from the beginnig on already, but so far it's working (we'll see how it goes with different judges), so I'll wait with my final judgement.

On a slightly different note, thanks to you two (apoc and snor). You've done a great job. (And I've learned that I've got to spent quite some more time on concept and composition)
