Doppelganger Screenshot Contest (NA) - Discussion Thread

[Vaen]

Thanks, Prido! Your Sylph doppelganger shot utilizing the faerie wings is genius!!

[Punainen]

I loved your snowman/pointer too--and omg, I got such a kick out of the Sylph with the faerie wings.

:3 I'm really glad so many people are enjoying my entry as well. It makes me feel good, so now even if I don't win, I'll know I did a good job and gave some people some laughs.

Seeing on the entry thread, there are some ruffled feathers and/or people with different opinions about what is a valid "doppelgänger." As much as I'd love to reply directly, I'm going to take it to the discussion thread, where it belongs.

Here is a snippet of the original post for the contest:

"To celebrate this year's All Saints' Wake in true spirit, adventurers are being called upon to rummage through their armoury chest and search for equipment that will help them mimic their favorite NPC or monster in Eorzea!"

I'm just highlighting this here, since a few people seem to be taking the "doppelgänger" term too strictly. The contest it self is meant for NPC and monsters-- so obviously, you can't dawn a Behemoth costume. A lot of the entries, mine included, are still just as valid as those opting to do NPCs.

I apologize if this is sounding a bit childish on my end, but I wanted to put my own two cents in on how the contest is being interpreted.

Thanks for reading!

Yeah, I couldn't help but take the bait and respond to that person in that thread. Oops! I probably should have shown more restraint

But yeah, you're totally right Prido

Ebon apparently thinks we should be able to literally transform into our chosen NPC or monster, or thinks no one should dress as anything but NPCs they can manage to look identical to. Me thinks someone might have missed the point in a fun contest.

I replied there because you posted there. :P

Happy All Saint's Wake everyone!!!

But HE only replied there because YOU posted there. You should have posted here to start with.

Aw, at least Ebon listened to reason once I explained it. Props for that

And p.s. Little Mandragora should definitely be one of the winners!

I didn't know there was a here till after I knew there was a there and after posting there i couldn't unpost there to repost here because the there post was already there with a reply that wasn't here so I had to post there instead of here but now I'm posting here instead of there so there's no longer any more of my posting there that should be here that way i won't be interrupting their posts there that they're trying to post while not being interrupted from posts that should be here instead of there!

SO THERE!
