The mac client doesn't support anti-aliasing. So, instead of polluting my computer with a bootcamp windows partition, I curse all those who participate in this contest with system crashes. I hope you all are negligent with your clones, die to pirates, and get podded all the way across the galaxy from your precious shooting locations.

not to sound all newbie ish, but, aside from possibly the market, where does one acquire 10 corpses?

the planet Eyjafjallajokull, or a Sansha Incursion Mothership.

I still have a question about the Vapor Sea - is it only visible from Stain, or is the nebula I took a picture of in Catch also the Vapor Sea?

Or even if it was, do they want us to take the pic from the Stain region only?

Well my picture of what I think is the Vapor Sea is in here http://imgur.com/a/kkSrz#0 - I compared it to others shots and EvE Travel and I think it's the same nebula, but I don't know a way to check for sure.

Where exactly in the rules does it say this? Or are you making it up as you go along?

In the list of screenshots it says 'Prime Arkonor' not 'Prime Arkonor asteroid' I don't see how you can change it after the fact.

In the rules nowhere does it state your ship must be in space, it only says your ship must be visible and uncloaked.

I'm having fun searching for all these sites. However, I am having some frustrations with the Wolf-Rayet star. I've visited a couple dozen wormholes already. Any strategies/tips? Are the wolf-rayet systems evenly distributed between C1, C2, ..., C6 or are they only found in a certain class? It may be all random, but if anyone has some helpful tips, they would be greatly appreciated!

How do you know for certain that a star is a Wolf Rayet?

I am pretty sure this rule has been in effect since the beginning. I remember reading it during week one and feeling a little anxious that I would be heading into nulsec and have to uncloak for pics.

Agree, but please with concealed result posting to make it more explorative and less copy pasting.

Actually, I think we maybe even would have had better chances at winning with unverified pictures: More invalid contestants means less chance of winning, but on the of off-chance of someone getting drawn with invalid pictures, another draw would have happened, thus doubling our winning chance. Or multiplying, if this would have happened several times in a row.

With invalid entries allowed, everyone's chance of winning is lowered.

And what happens in the first scenario if Bob's name was drawn? He does in fact have a valid entry.

That's the extreme scenario and I don't know how many entries are actually invalid but I do know it's non-zero. But again, in the end, the odds only change by very small fractions of a percent per invalid entry but they do change and not in our favor.

Removing invalid entries if that person is drawn does not change the fact that the other entries had a lower chance to be drawn. In my scenario, if Mallory was drawn first, game over, she wins. Yet Alice had her chance reduced greatly, from 80% to 47%. No one would even know this until some time much later after all the entries were verified.

Invalid entries inflate the total entry pool, lowering the chance for the valid entries to win. Basic simple math. Repeatedly drawing names, pruning the bad entries and hoping to get a valid set of entries doesn't change that.

You used a pod for a bunch of pictures. They wanted us to risk a ship. Being in a pod was only allowed for the pod on fire picture.

I cannot say for sure, but according to this: http://evetravel.wordpress.com/visible-nebulae-in-new-eden/
Vapor Sea is in Stain. You took your photo in Catch.

Apparently I did something wrong with week 2: http://imgur.com/a/8wtcw#0

Can anyone point out my mistake so I can facepalm and sulk in the corner before I start wasting CCP Goliath's time?
