Original post:
Entered a GTA V photo contest. Could you guys throw some upvotes my way? It's "Pacific HDR" in the comments section.

Here are the others I entered, but there's no need to upvote them.

The winner will receive a limited edition Grand Theft Auto V strategy guide, as well as a spin on the Wheel of Games!

Three cheers for low expectations.

The "spin on the Wheel of Games" is the only reason I bothered. I'm intrigued.

I'm just teasing you, man.  I gave you an upvote and I'll ding it from a couple of other IPs for you, too.

I have a feeling that one could somehow not qualify. Not sure why....

Also, what's with people upvoting their own pics? It shows who votes.

I appreciate it, but you don't have to do multiple votes. One per person will do.

We can do better than 8 guest votes people!  It takes 20 seconds to help GV out.   :cheers:

He's up to 15 votes (if guest votes count) but we can still do better !! -- Only question is do the "guest votes count in the standings (the rules say "The community will upvote and downvote the photos, and the winner will be the picture with the most upvotes! - so is "community" including guests or just community members) or only the named member posts  (ie. do we need to register for the vote to count toward the contest or is just voting as a guest helpful ?)

Not clear on that myself. You just have to be logged into Disqus, which is used everywhere, so I was kinda surprised so many of the votes showed up as guests in the first place. We're an opinionated lot here.

I think guest votes count, because you can only downvote if logged in.

You can't actually downvote on Disqus. It shows you a red arrow, but doesn't affect the number in any way. Everyone everywhere is taking our negativity away! We aren't allowed to dislike anything!

I assume you won. It's past the deadline, and you have the most votes (you beat the MS Paint graphic by 2).  :cheers:

Well, the "Wheel of Games" wound up just being a bunch of indie games on Steam. I had to go to his Twitch stream to spin the wheel. I couldn't even tell you which game I won. Still waiting for the GTA V guide to get here.
