Boulderer Posted August 1, 2014 One week is enough to let all the contestants know that my vote is for sale. Do Bricklink have a category for competition votes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lakop Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) This has been a fascinating competition. It's amazing what you can do with upto 200 parts. I made so many crazy things and I love the entries. Good luck to all. H Edited August 1, 2014 by Horace T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bzroom Posted August 1, 2014 There are so many great entries. I have no idea how I'll be able to pick my favorites. Is there any way we can get some more points to distribute? Maybe 20? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Posted August 1, 2014 Nope! (edit: actually it's not a very bad idea for this contest) What you do get is an extra day! I will leave the entry topic open tomorrow, since I am away from home the entire day. So closing time is Sunday when I wake up Voting will be one week! That ought to be enough for every contest! Allan, would it be possible to have an updated image by Sunday morning? I can use it to promote the voting stage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zweihander Posted August 1, 2014 Hi Jim, I have a question. On the general rules section of this contest, there is a rule: "Voting is only allowed for existing members (which means member date before start date of contest)". Does this apply to the contestants too? If the contestants who joined before that date could vote and the contestants who joined after could not, wouldn't that create a disadvantage for the latter?

Jim Posted August 1, 2014 Hi, The rule is to prevent cheating. But I will make an exception for members who are seriously contributing to the forum and/or the contest. So I will most likely allow all contestants who joined after the contest start date to vote. I can tell you now that you are on the voting whitelist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zweihander Posted August 1, 2014 Thanks, I just want it to be a fair competition. I understand the logic behind the rule and I fully agree with it. And now I am a little sad too. I don't know which of the awesome entries I will distribute my points to! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cumulonimbus Posted August 2, 2014 Since so many people are not sure which entries will get their vote, I wonder wether it would be a good idea to come up with a list of "requirements". For example: originality of model choice, creative part use, appeal of the color scheme, how close it comes to an official TLG set, presentation, etc. This short list could give voters a bit more support to compare entries. Just an idea... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barman Posted August 2, 2014 Good idea! With this you get an objective view on the entries and the competition would be a bit more fair a guess? It will definitely help the voters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N-4K0 Posted August 2, 2014 Possible dumb question, but is the voting open to all members, or the contestants only? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diablo5 Posted August 2, 2014 All members who were registered before start of competition AND all contenders, if I understood right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jantjeuh Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) I've decided on a totally fair voting method: I'm gonna roll dice. Only way to do this. Edited August 2, 2014 by jantjeuh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
