P1NSEEKER Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Simple enough queastion really. Following concerns raised by some people about the judging of the SOTF i thought i would see what everyones thoughts are. If you chose the last option please tell us what your ideas are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJMac Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 A public poll would be nice. It would be good to comment on each others work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razzleson Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 But a public poll could also be a popularity contest. I'm not saying it will be, just something to toss out there as some food-for-thought. I have no idea how it's currently, but I say keep the decision to the design team.

Clipse 2 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Public poll with no comments would be great. I'm not a fan of opening a thread that has a poll and read "I picked such and such because..." I don't feel anyone should have to explain themselves fully.

SuperGaz Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 a public poll could also be a popularity contest. the guy has a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJMac Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 What if the entries were PM'd to pin and then put up as "Entry 1", "Entry 2" etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zef Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Use a mix of public polling and judge selection. Either have all of the entries voted on to select a final [number of finalists], these are then judged by random, secret judges (possibly change them every so often). Or have the judges as mentioned above select the finalists and then put it down to a public poll. Maybe the entries shouldn't come with the creators' names, so it isn't down to popularity.

Wreckon Dracgon Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Or have the judges as mentioned above select the finalists and then put it down to a public poll. Maybe the entries shouldn't come with the creators' names, so it isn't down to popularity. This is a good idea, having it strictly be a public poll wouldn't work. It would come down to a popularity contest. You could have someone with no talent like myself win simply because Zef and all the Zefanics think I'm pure Awesomeness.

Rammbone Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Maybe the entries shouldn't come with the creators' names, so it isn't down to popularity. I think this is the best idea. The only problem I see with this, is the creator's name is usually a big part of their work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodangles Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 gotta say i love the entry 1, entry 2 idea. the names definitely shouldn't be included, because when it does come down to it, it will be a popularity contest. hate to throw P1N for a loop with this idea, but i was thinking the public poll should be by, say, PM's. i know that is extremely difficult but seeing the results can and probably will influence votes.

Brighton X Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I personally like it the way it is. Zef's way is good too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wriggy Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Personally, I think Private Poll's is the best way of doing it but I'd like to see a judging panel who pick out the best one which is then selected as the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skillet Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Then try having the public pick the top three and then from those, the finalist is picked by Minty and Pin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P1NSEEKER Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Ok how about this: Each entry will be pm'd to me. After the deadline 3 finalists will be picked. Then a thread featuring the 3 finalists (which will be anonymous) will be posted and people are then allowed to vote on them publicly. Good/bad idea?

Skillet Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 That could work. Then simply announce the winning signature after the votes are tallied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theforcemonkey Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I like it the way it is. Personally, I'd rather win being chosen personally by one of the PS gurus around here. If my entry made it to finals, I'd feel obligated to vote for me, and if I won, I'd always feel like it was tainted, like maybe my vote was the one that pushed it over.

You should also make its required for everyone that enterd to vote for the best (not there own) one so there is a definate number of votes for the 2 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJMac Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I don't see what's wrong for voting for your own. If everyone does it, they cancel each other out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xJoex Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Well if your one is the best you can vote for your one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
