BrickbyBrickTechnic Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 This has been an awesome contest. Lots of innovation and beautiful MOCs. Looking forward to voting! Quote
Jim Posted January 31, 2018 Author Posted January 31, 2018 Now. The voting topic will open tomorrow or so (need to find some time, very busy today), but you know the drill, so you can already prepare your list. Quote
Didumos69 Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I thought the start of voting usually gets front paged. Quote

Milan Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 @Marxpek please edit your vote, you have two of the "6 points" given to two different entries. @KikoTube please edit your vote, you have only voted for five entries. You have to vote for all six entries, in order for your vote to be valid. Quote
Marxpek Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 @Milan thank you, it has been adjusted. Quote
Milan Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 @imurvai please edit your vote, you have voted for number 28, which does not exist. @Lego_Talk please edit your vote, you have voted for entry number 7, which is disqualified before the voting started. @paupadros please edit your vote, you have voted for entry number 7, which is disqualified before the voting started. To avoid further voting for entry number "7", even though it is strikethrough, and labeled as "disqualified", i have added one more "disqualified" note. Thanks to mocbuild for helping. Quote

Jim Posted February 19, 2018 Author Posted February 19, 2018 Voting will close soon! And I am happy to inform you that I have arranged for some simple (non-LEGO) prizes! The winners won't be left empty-handed. Quote
Milan Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Voting is closed! Thank you for your votes! Quote
Jim Posted February 22, 2018 Author Posted February 22, 2018 We have some good news and bad news. As usual it's better to start with the bad news. BAD NEWS The bad news is, we had to disqualify some of the contestants. Our super advanced AI has found some suspect behavior during the vote and our human inspection confirmed what our AI has found. We won't go into much detail and we're not saying that these members had bad intentions, but we do want to make it clear that EB is not the place for this kind of behavior. GOOD NEWS The good news is, we do have some prizes for the Top-3. Your very own...exclusive Pullback Mug! Disclaimer: the picture of the pullback motor has been shot by myself and the icons have been purchased online, so you can enjoy your daily beverage without any copyright scrupules. Quote

Your very own...exclusive Pullback Mug! So some of the contestants have been disqualified, not some votes? Were the contestants be informed already? I'm not asking for details, but it could be helpful to know what happened in general, to demonstrated that such a behavior won't be accepted. Too bad, it was such a great contest again. Beautiful entries, thrilling voting time and a bad ending ... Awesome mugs! Maybe the best prices I've seen so far. Quote
Jim Posted February 22, 2018 Author Posted February 22, 2018 1 hour ago, MegaRoi said: I'm not asking for details Yes, you are In general; it was vote rigging and we decided to disqualify the contestants (who have been informed, and it's all good) instead of simply removing the votes. We think it's important to learn the consequences of such an action. This is all we will say about it, so no more questions please. We will make an extra statement in the rules of the next contest. Results will be published shortly! 1 hour ago, MegaRoi said: Awesome mugs! Maybe the best prices I've seen so far. Well...you might be lucky Quote

Jim Posted February 22, 2018 Author Posted February 22, 2018 By the way; we have decided to ommit Jury voting for this contest, so the results are member votes only. Quote

MajklSpajkl Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 @Jim, not that it really mathers, but I think it would be fair to mark all or none of the disqulified entries with the disqualifying mark in the entry topic. At the moment only one entry has been marked... Quote

I don't really care to hide it: Apparently even an honest to goodness vote from your brother gets disqualification. Whats done is done, I wont fight it. Quote
