((design notes: tub is created from hiding a fountain behind walls and placing a chair under it. Creates the illusion of relaxing in a nice hot bath))

((I'd also like to give a special thanks to Raia for the tub idea and helping organize the photo shoot.))

((Apologies to any warriors and mages, that were rudely booted from the 'set' of Rogues Gone Wild))

Great Scottish poetry lad! Brings a tear t' me eye. (Can't help but read that in a William Wallace voice in my head)

I hope you realise that Braveheart is a fantasy film, based on a dubious piece of fiction. My studies have led me to consider that the real hero of Stiling Bridge was Sir Andrew Moray, a proven commander. Also, one of the few Scots of note to die (of his wounds); suspicious that.

Wallace actually achieved very little, other than getting his infantry slaughtered at Falkirk. Just another example of Hollwood history.

To ensure that everyone has a chance to win, we have made the poll for each house category. (i.e.: one for starter, one for cottage etc.)

You can work with others to create a house - if you win you don't have to share the prizes! :)

I have 2 questions, mods please answer if possible.

1. This is regarding the angle of the photo. Is it better to zoom in and capture one angle of the decorated house or to zoom out and include the whole house in the photo?

2. I have more than one idea of decoration and cant decide which is better. Can we submit two photos of the same house (decorated in 2 different ways)?

And you should take your ebola wolf to the vet. I've spiked the fountain with strychnine. And cyanide.

Since we are looking for the best design, I'm going to stick with just one photo. You are more than welcome to edit your submission - you still have plenty of time to enter!

Is this a creative contest or dummy-vote-farming contest?

I would like to withdraw my vote from an entry I had voted on. My vote was cast to support somebody (not going to name the person) who I believed was lagging behind on the popularity meter but now I see he is shamelessly begging for votes based on nationality when infact this contest is based on creativity. Also he is voting on himself with his account, making his alts vote on him, and also making new alt accounts to vote on himself. I wish to withdraw my vote please.

*shifty eyes* Hopefully Seo will notice. Dummy farming doesn't seem to be a problem limited to in-game.
