Green_Hilltop: To be honest, that thread isn't actually a giveaway but a contest. You're basically asking people for a commission of your character, and instead of paying them, you're offering them games that you got in a bundle (so basically you're paying less than a dollar for it, since it's Humble Bundle games like you stated), given that you don't even state that the winners will be raffled so I'm assuming you will pick the winner based on which drawing you like the most. So like Sachys said over there, it's no surprise that no artists have entered the contest.

However it's good that you've done some raffles before and if you check your thread now, it's high rated again, so it doesn't really fluctuate that much. If you'd really like your character done though, and have it be a good quality drawing, I suggest that you just ask for a commission here or over at DA/Tumblr - the going rate for a basic character without a background is usually five dollars or more (or at least used to be), and you'll get the full rights and everything like you wanted, and you get to support the artist. :) Hope that helps!
You're right. When I did previous raffles, I did one as a simple raffle, then another as a first come first serve. Focusing on the variety of my giveaways, I did a drawing contest this other time. Basically I didn't like following one system for all of my giveaways, and thus this contest was born to fit in with the variety idea I have going with the giveaways. I should be careful next time in a drawing contest.

But otherwise, what I'm worried about is that there is a fluctuation on contests such as this. Even if its like a paid commission as you have stated, both sides would have fun and enjoy the contest. Downrepping the contest's main thread instead of taking the time to put a post regarding this thing is just off to me. That said, I should really look into revising the rules for it.

PookaMustard:
Like TinyE said, the reason why it was downrated is probably because of alts and scammers who come and just downrep contests rather than people who disagree with your contest, so I wouldn't worry about that - there's nothing you can do and most folks on GOG appreciate giveaways and contests, so you'll always have people to fall back on. That's why you got the rep there back.

And yeah, I understand with the variety thing, that sounds great! It's just that it really sounds like a commission there, so you should at least state if the entries will be raffled or judged by you. :)

Good idea!

Green_Hilltop: For some reason I feel like my rep was about 380, and now I see it's at 340, so I just want to make sure if it's just my imagination or there's been some serious downrepping that happened to me in the past two days (which would be weird, since usually I just participate in funny and non-conflictory topics like Guess the Game and recommended books and whatnot, and I have been practically absent from GOG last week).

ZFR: Did you participate in any giveaway thread? I know some of them were mass downrepped by NES:

(I made a few posts there but I don't know how much my rep was before the downvote, so I can't tell you any numerical values and whether such downrepping would account for your -40)
now he's downrepping everyone who even wants a game, who isn't himself? bad script or is he really that butthurt?

I have, it was hilarious.
I propose we +1 every post in here, just for being one of the more fun threads this week. :D

A monstrosity! And now, off with your pants, it's Monday sir, so we don't have the time. Chop chop!

Just kidding. It was a great idea though, I totally love that sketch!
