EB Ninja Month: Ninja Bomb! - Voting

[Peppermint_M]

Sorry, I wanted to announce them all at once and got delayed by work and real life.

We are wrapping up budgets and such so lots of number work in the office means peppermint gets home and can only veg...

Hang on, you have time to play: "Heroica RPG" and "Trouble in Gotham,bloodbath", but not enough time to count some votes? Lucky it's the weekend then is'n it?

Sorry, I do not see how five minute posts on a coffee break can match up with anything involving plenty of numbers and actual prizes.

This is something that needs to be done right and unfortunately shooting stuff off when I can manage it has resulted in more than one problem and mistake. Something inane and unimportant like three lines of throwaway humour and random picks is nowhere near the same as tallying the votes (Including people who seem unable to follow the basic rules of Entry Number and points awarded) especially when one missed vote or one misplaced vote can make even more problems.

So no worries, this experience has put me off running contests for a long long time.

Pep, this was the best month I've been around for! Don't let a little down time and a few non-rule-reading people (my apologies, I usually am more careful! ) discourage you! I loved the catagories and had a lot of fun building! (Now, if you would just not count that one vote - after all it wasn't in the right format - and leave me tied for first... ). - (Incedently, you know Word will do your sorting work - or at least most of it - for you, right? Of course, when people don't include the number... ).

With all those single grouping voters and the ultimate battle competition, I'm losing my momentum against Aanchir. How about those who just awarded three points in a combined pool, take credit for both catgories.

Example:

Someone gives three votes in total for me (they don't say which category)

So Peppermint M decides that it will be three points for me per each category.

I think the votes would finally balance out

Sorry, didn't mean to put you off, or anything. I guess I'm just a bit impatient this only being my second contest, yeah, ok, I understand you have work and that, I didn't see it was only 5 minutes. Sorry again, now feeling a bit ashamed, please don't let me put you off really, ninja month was great, sorry.

Sorry, Friday was a tough day in work, too much going on and that. All the financial wrap-up and about four hours stood in the cold doing a topo surcey make me cranky.

I hope to finish the Avatar voting tally today and then announce it all sunday to start posting on monday.
