Isn't there a better way? Castle/Keep voting....

Quintus

Where can I view the contest and vote? I cant find it anywhere?

Bilbo

we do not know about the vote but there is a thread on Stratics that has pics of all the plots so you get to weed the ones out quickly that you do not like

Skett

Everyone needs to go to stratics they have a sticky thread in UHall that has pictures of ever castle and keep. Makes it much easier to pick.

Thank you again stratics for your good work

while a thread with images of the outsides is undoubtedly useful, I don't think it should be the only way you decide where to cast your vote. I've seen several that I liked from the outside, but the internal layout put me off them.

That's what the thread is for....at first glance at least half of them I wouldn't even go look at (No offense to anyone) but they just didn't please me aesthetically from the outside. I eliminated at least 100 just going through that thread. No it's not the ONLY way you should chose which design to vote on, but it does help tremendously!

To vote you will need to visit the stone on test center and make your selection from the list.

That is true but it eliminates at least 90% of them which saves a lot of time

after picking the ones you might want you can go look at those

Nobody said it was the only way @Petra_Fyde but it is an outstanding way for you to weed out the designs you do not want.

Thanks to all those that posted pics of the entries from outside. It made it easier to pick those I wanted to see. 

I am looking forward to the next round, as I imagine many will get some insight as to what works and not. I looked at many that were fabulous on the outside, but that would drive me crazy on a daily basis.  Thanks to all designers as well.

So when will we get the results? I'm a bit excited and a bit worried, I really hope we get something that will be practical and not some airy fairy tiny room or huge open space design. I like reasonable rooms and I don't like making my own walls and floors. I guess the proof of that pudding will be how many castles and keeps actually change to the new designs...

Totally agree. And to be perfectly honest, most of these designs are nothing special

jaytin

People seemed to be making a lot of fancy designs, many of which could not be called a castle, not even loosely,  once you went inside you realised it was an after-thought and it was completely impractical. I suppose having something that's only pretty on the outside is fine if you have multiple accounts and homes, but it's no use to most people.

I guarantee you if people thought that blank lots could be customized they would win

We could get around the rules by having a blank plot with a wall around it! I'll take it from there!
