Pathogen- 5 Report post Posted December 29, 2009 you won't get many entries from the more experienced makers, and if you do it won't last long/be very consistent. These competitions are always voted on by people that don't know what goes into the craft, and by people who vote for their friends. So kinda lame Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-VR-] Tool_Minion 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2009 Path, you suffer from permanent poopy pants. I think it's cause your Canadian, and if South Park taught us anything........ I may not be 'experienced' enough for you, but I entered plenty of SOTW over at PAs, and never felt that it was judged poorly or mishandled. Coming in with that attitude, I could see why you might not participate, but the way he attempted this with no 'names' attached to the art is actually something that would conquer all your reasoning. Don't let Path and Lucky hold you down. If you get it off the ground here at UF, it will be because you didn't quit! Smile and have a coke....dontchaknow.

Lucky, did you READ the rules? No offense, but no one WOULD know because he asked that everyone PM him the sigs without any identifying names or anything on them, and he would post them and people would vote on the # of the sig. That is about as unbiased and fair as it gets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[<+>] mic-- 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2009 I think it's a good idea, just bad timing. I look forward to doing a couple after the holidays. Name or no names it doesn't really matter, this is just for fun and it helps you learn new things. If people want to vote for their buddies/clan mates, it's cool. I would personally rather have the names displayed so everyone can give constructive criticism on what they do or don't like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pathogen- 5 Report post Posted December 30, 2009 A: Where do you get the idea that I'm from Canadia? Just because I'll mount you doesn't mean I don a red uniform and goofy had. Well....maybe..... B: I've done all sorts of competitions of every type and rule set, and its been my experience that unless people actually take it seriously, the talent gives up on it. Its a great idea, and I DO get suckered into them often to support the idea, but there is only so much you can take of biased voting and people having no idea what they're looking at voting lol I tested this once. I made a sig, spent a good amount of time on it, then I submitted one that I really slopped together and purposly made with errors in it...and that 2nd one won. Just blows my mind. And as far as "anonymous" entries, all it takes is a quick "hey, that one is mine...everyone from my clan go vote for me" and boom...competition turns homo. Its not that I've negative, its just the typical way these things turn out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
