1. I was originally aiming for 100 days but I don't think I can do that with the amount of characters in this thing so I will try for 150 or less if someone can suggest a good way to do this. No less than 100. 2. There are 529 characters in this thing so this is a massive Save My 3. I am thinking of allowing 8 saves an hour. Will take suggestions 4. I am thinking of starting with eliminating 15 a day. 5. Also I am looking for a good way to decide my next Save My. last time I did a bracket but some people on here complained about it. I have 2 ideas though A. do a bracket within the Save My Contest close to the end. B. Do what Vcharon and Scorpionx3 do and Just allow people to Nominate ideas they like. 6. Really hoping to get ideas on amounts of Eliminations 7. List of characters in this contest to follow over next few posts 8. If anyone sees any duplicated characters let me know. 9. Thanks for any help.
This is awesome, quite the ambitious and epic Save My contest. I've got 40 characters nominated in this one, ha man that's a lot to save.
The way you're doing it sounds good. If I had to suggest stuff I'd say 8 saves an hour sounds good,15 eliminated a day at first sounds a bit high though.
I'll throw out... maybe 8 saves an hour and 12 eliminated a day.

I want to try and find pics for most of these, but I don't have as much time as I did back at the Random one. Maybe I'll see what I can do later, but at 530 this might be a fool's errand.

I was thinking more along the lines of just getting individual pics (and maybe a few write-ups) so there'd be something to post when characters are eliminated. Getting pics and descriptions of everyone was a really nice touch.
Editing all pics to be the same size, and making them recognizable in small form, and editing them all together is way beyond my capabilities. I'm not sure how anyone pulled it off to begin with. @_@

If pics and short write-ups are wanted I will need help msg me anything you do do for it and you can post it here. Also how many days should I go for? It will be one save needed at the beginning. 12 or 15 eliminated? Like was said 15 is a little high but so is 530 characters.
@ eliminations: you can start with 15 eliminations a day, and each day / two days one elimination less, till 10 eliminations day. Then according to duration of each day (couple of hours? more than a day?) start raising requiriments of saves (like 2 saves required -> avoid ballots), or less # of saves per hour per user. And keep # high till there are about half or 100 chars. Just thoughts ;D
Starting by grabbing a few basic pics of the 38 characters that I got into this. There are definitely better ones, but I'm in a hurry and they work well enough unless someone wants to find better. First batch.
Amy Rose
Amaterasu
(Don't usually resort to using Fan Art without permission, but I really prefer it over the official art work.)
Angelica Pickles
Baby Peach
Beatrix (Final Fantasy (9)
[Not my nomination, but I still had images on file so..]
Brittany Miller
Bunnie Rabbot [Corrected spelling. Probably should have looked it up before nominating.]
Carmen Sandiego
Cloche
Cream the Rabbit
-- You know what they say: If you can't beat them, join them. If you can't join them, burn their house to the ground!
[Don't think these are official artworks either, but you take what you can get.]
Demona
Dokuro-Chan
Elvira
Faith
Gadget Hackwrench
[It's just not a list of Gadget pictures without at least one slightly sexualized piece of fanart. Pretty sure I'm required by law to post at least one.]
Gabrielle Espinoza
[Not my nom, but I'm reposting pic from other topic in case you didn't save it. Image searching reveals this as basically the only choice.]
Gatomon
[Might try to find something better later, but I've scrolled through more image results than I can tolerate at once already]
Hattie McDoogal
[Not my nom, but I figured I'd grab the pic while I was looking her up earlier.]
Hexadecimal
[First pics a bit big, will resize if you want.]
Holley Shiftwell
[Available with or without background. As a car, there's not a big variety of choices. Will resize if needed.]
[Same as Gatomon. I know there are better pics, but going through those particular image results to find them...eh...]
Karrin Murphy
[Last one is the "Murphy" from the TV show. Different than the one in the books, but she's based on the character from the books and is not as hideous as the comic pictures. Your call.]
Queen Mab
[There are no pics for the Dresden Files version of Mab, since she's only appeared in text. Searching through any version of Queen Mab, the closest I've seen in appearance is the figurine in the first pic. The second is a CD cover and not especially close, but it has white hair and is fairly creepy looking so it's not a bad interpretation.]
Meetra Surik
Molly Carpenter
[I think that might be a cosplay pic, not sure, but it's the best pic you're likely to find.]
Morticia Addams
Mr. Mumbles
Mrs. Butterworth
Nicole Watterson
Rebecca Cunningham

...Looks like the "Yakumo Tsukamoto" pics are actually pics of "Tenma Tsukamoto". Bad image search, lying to me like that. Images should be corrected in this post...I hope.
Yeah, caught that by the time the other one came up and gave the exact same results. Thanks though, a lot of characters here that I don't know at all and I just trust the search engines to be correct, so any help correcting errors along the way is much appreciated.

[Tali is difficult to get pics that show up well; dark outfit on dark background. Fanart is nice, but tends to be "speculation on what she would look like unmasked" or just as dark as the official pics.]
Tamao Suzumi (Strawberry Panic)
Tarot (Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose)
[I question if any of her pics are safe to post on GameFAQs...]
[Image search brings up a singer and someone from the TV series. These are correct and I don't want to shift through pages of wrong ones in search of better right now.]
Sarah Jerand (Star Ocean The Last Hope)
Sara Pezzini (Witchblade)
Sara Tancredi (Prison Break)
Sareena (Mortal Kombat)
Satella Harvenheit (Chrono Crusade)
Scandal Savage (DC Comics)
Scarlett (G.I. Joe)
Selvaria (Valkyria Chronicles)
Seong Mi-Na (SoulCalibur)
[Artwork, gameplay, and cosplay. Think that covers it.]
Setsuna (Needless)
Setsuna Sakurazaki (Mahou Sensei Negima)
[Wings or no wings? If I knew anything about the series that question might make sense.]
Seychelles (Hetalia)
Shana (Shakugan no Shana)
Sheba (Golden Sun)
-- You know what they say: If you can't beat them, join them. If you can't join them, burn their house to the ground!
[Wings or no wings? If I knew anything about the series that question might make sense.] Either is fine, she can make the wings appear at will. But usually she's wingless.
