Competitions

[Sui]

Now that the Art Contest has ended, we want to hear your feedback. What did we do right? What did we do wrong? What other kind of competitions do you want to see in the future? We're open to your comments and criticism.

We would also appreciate if you could vote in the attached poll.

I'd say judging is better, but then again if the judges hate me it'll suck

 

[Krynn72]

I'd say judging also, if only for the extra suspense. Plus that way nobody feels bad if they didnt get any votes, since they wont know.

 

[Qonfused]

I like public vote. This is, after all, a public forum so I think the voice of the people should be counted. Although, we could always do both.

congrats to dodo and vegeta :afro:

Bias amongst judges can happen.

Popularity votes happen amongst the public.

D:

 

[Seagull]

Public and Judge votes would rock.

 

[Sloth]

I'm saying have both, winner of Judged choice and of Poll - also have the previous winner as part of the Judging table...

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Public voting. Democracy FTW.

 

[soulslicer]

communism for the win, means everyone gets the same prize and everyone is equal ..


No, i think it would be better for a mix, like american idol, where the big shots give a good say of the pics and peoples votes take a certain percentage..

Public vote to make a shortlist which is voted on by independant judges

 

[Mutley]

Everyone should be placed in a hat and the winner picked out at random. I think that is the fairest way.

But on your poll I voted Private, as there is more chance of a popularity contest than bias judges.

 

[Rapstah]

We had a art contest?

 

[soulslicer]

welcome to the forums, if you failed to notice, there is a small link there called art and design.



lol

 

[Rapstah]

I'm not sure what exactly you mean, Soulslicer, but are you referring to the forum board called Art and Design?

 

[Asknoone]

There's no such thing.

 

[StardogChampion]

It's ironic that you use a public vote to decide this

Anyway, I voted private judging. This is because the public mostly have bad taste. If you watch the "Top 100 musicians as voted by YOU!", some piece of shit like Robbie Williams makes the top 10. The public are stupid.

 

[soulslicer]

rapstah, are you firing sacarsm bombs at me and screwing around with me or what..

 

[joule]

Who would be a part of the private judging?

 

[Headcrab Pie]

Ahh...look at my post count compared to these noble men (and women?).

 

[Vegeta897]

... What?

 

[The Monkey]

I didn't know it existed until I opened this thread.

 

[ríomhaire]

I think both would be good. A public winner and a judge's winner. But for the sake of saying one or the other, Judges > Public.
