Addressed to:


The shop contest entries are all finally posted and open for voting! Woo!
Below you will find links to our lovely entries for the 963 A.E. shop contest. Now we need YOU to vote on our winner.

You can find all the info at HELP SHOPCONTEST

To vote, just take a look at REFERENDUMS

-------
SCORING
-------

They are posted anonymously, though some may be immediately identifiable to some of you. Please don't let this guide your vote. Please vote based on merit.

My suggested criteria for making your decision are:

- Roleplay potential
- Lore involvement and appropriateness
- Creativity
- Does it make you excited to visit it? How much do you like it?

Give each criterion a score out of 5, add them together and divide by 4. That's your score!

Obviously you don't have to do it like that, but I find it useful.

------
VOTING
------

When you're ready to vote You'll need to give each entry a score out of five. To do this please look at REFERENDUMS and vote for each of the listed entries.

- You will only be able to vote once on your account. So no making 20 alts just to vote for someone.
- There is an activity checker, so you'll only be able to vote if you've been active recently.
- No additional modifiers like influence are involved in this vote, so 1 vote = 1 vote.
- The referendums will be open for 1 week for players to vote on their favorite shop. So it will close on August 9th 2021 at 1pm UTC ( https://bit.ly/3ii2PvP )
