...started off well? But has now completely gone to the dogs!

At first , I enjoyed the little challenges, building Mario and stuff...but for a start Hamlet and the Sun King?WTF?! I think they must have ran outof ideas because they are so random. Secondly, when I've been voting lately all I've seen is silly Miis that have nothing to do with that contest whatsoever! It's really spoiling this feature for me,so I thought I'd come on here and have a good ol' whinge.

What do you guys think?

Meh. I think it's alright, just for the occasional vote, and to see results. The themes aren't that great, but entertaining.

I enjoy voting on the Everybody Votes Channel more, tbh.

I haven't been doing too well on this channel lately.

In the US, we recently had a contest for a girl with a bubbly personality, and my cute little science girl Mii in nerdy glasses only got a 3rd level ranking. :(

Most of the top 50winners of that contest had Miis that looked similar to Bubbles off the Powerpuff Girls. Go figure.

Do you know what bubbly even means? It's like, the "blonde" girl. The reason why you got level 3 is probably because you made a nerd instead.

Anyway, I agree. I can't be bothered to go on that site anymore. Well, I still check what the new contests are, but they usually suck so I don't submit one. I haven't submitted one since Cleopatra...or the bully...I can't remember which one came first.

I think it's fun occasionally, just about every Mii I've entered has been level 8 or 9, but I don't think people are even trying with it anymore. They need to have contests that aren't so vague.

I remember reading it in the december issue of NP, I enjoyed the idea of downloading Miis, but this is pretty much a mistake.

Most of my Miis go to level 9 heh. I also have a sharp eye.

The recent contests don't interest me at all really so I just stopped.

I've made an 8th level Mario, a 8th level biggest bully ever and a 6th level Luigi.

My skill for Mii searching is masterful.

And yeah I'm starting to grow weary of Check Mii Out.

I quite like it...it's something else to do if you're bored which I'm never gonna complain about! My only whinge would be that you have to wait a-g-e-s between each challenge!

(p.s. I also see your point about Hamlet - a Shakespearian character who actually has very few distinguishing features and as such can pretty much look like anyone you want! ...but The Sun King, if you actually have any idea who he is, has a very distinct look and is quite a challenge to reproduce on the Mii Contest Channel.)

After I saw the results of the "girl with the bubbly personality" contest, I was really disappointed. I entered my first mii and got a 9th level ranking. I thought it got in the top 50, but all those "powerpuff girl" miis beat mine.

All those "powerpuff" miis don't even fit the definition of "bubbly." I imagine bubbly being the stereotypical, ditsy blonde girl as you said, bob. But overall, I have to agree that these contests have disappointed me in terms of the themes they offer.

yes that and mii votes is getting ridiculious.

"You want to drink some milk but there isn't enough for a whole glass. Do you?" -"Get something else" -"Drink what's left" ...uhhhh you wanted a glass of milk, and somebody's gotta drink it ehh?

"You had plans but now it is raining. Do you?" -"Change your plans" -"Keep your plans" ....really depends on the plans.

i can foresee the next question.

"At the library tou want a to read 'War and Peace' but they have 'Totally Blonde' next to it. Do you?" -"Read "Totally Blonde' instead" - "Complain to the librarian." ...hmmmm
