Leinex Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I don't know, with all the 'band-wagoning' going on, it felt nice, to be nominated even though there would be no chance in reality of me actually getting interviewed. Yeah, the bandwagoning is sure something. I think the logic behind that is "well, this person's getting the most votes; xe'll probably win so I might as well just vote for xir now and save the vote I actually want to say for later".

Soledai Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) I wasn't going to come here because I really didn't want to, but you know that feeling like you can't let something go because it's gnawing at the back of your mind like razor sharp teeth? Yeah, the bandwagoning is sure something. I think the logic behind that is "well, this person's getting the most votes; xe'll probably win so I might as well just vote for xir now and save the vote I actually want to say for later". Shit logic/10 Let me not think for myself and just follow along, real class act. Not even disavowing bandwagoning(even if I personally have no great opinion of it), but if a person has someone in mind instead of the "obvious" they should go for it, if they don't win, keep voting for them, at least they'd know you're thinking of them. What actually is more funny than that... is when people bandwagon along and then don't even ask any questions, at least make it look like you DIDN'T just sheep along.

Soledai Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Another thing I don't really have a particularly favorable view on... Picking people at random because you never voted for them prior or no one else did. Because !lolrandom! is always cool.

Soledai Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) No the thread is not stupid, that thread is one of the best ideas the SF community has ever produced.

And sooner than a lot would think. Not too many people are asking questions anymore, and a lot of the people who members have been constantly voting for have already been nominated anyways. SF popularity contest should die, in my opinion. It's been fun enough interviewing prominent members, but now it's going to waste away in band-wagoning and petty popularity contests. Perhaps I'm being a little too hypocritical, as myself getting nominated made me all too delighted. Probably, yes. People tend not to be too interested in unpopular people, from what I've seen. I feel like Makaze should have chosen a different way to determine how nominations go, but hm. It's all right. I think that's very natural.

Randoman Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) ...but not in Nottingham. (wonders if anyone gets the reference) @ Shezzy: I don't blame you for feeling that way. It really sucks not being as popular as Integrity and them on SF. Though it is really nice to be appreciated by your close SF friends, you always have that hunger for more popularity and praise from others. It'd mean the world to me if I got nominated and interviewed in that thread, but even if I did it'd probably be only a few people asking me questions, even if it was as the peak of the interview thread's activity. I remember for the Appreciation Thread, there wasn't too big a variety of people complimenting me, at least compared to when others had their turns. Keep in mind, I am really grateful for people who do appreciate me on SF and support me for when I get my turn in special threads like the appreciation one.

Soledai Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) HHH is and has become one giant cluster really. Good and bad flow through it so fast you don't know which is which. At least that's my experience with it. This thread has been nicer than I originally perceived, though most of this was just seeing a lot of people who generally didn't know me well. Things changed though, and LtPW seems good enough for me. What...? No... Let's compare: HHH: Lots of people. Ltpw: Barely anyone. Thing is when you have lots of people, you're going to run into a lot different situations good and bad, but in a quiet place with barely anyone around, that same thing is not going to happen, and if anything, not as often. Alternatively Well, every place will have its ups and downs. Literally this. Edited May 12, 2015 by Soledai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leinex Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Not just unpopular people, but people they don't know. Part of the whole idea for it was to 'get to know other members better.' Nowadays everyone just post questions for whoever they are friends with. Which wasn't a problem a little while ago, since the people getting nominated had already established themselves quite well. That's true. I kind of hope that when all the popular people have been interviewed, the community will start voting for people they aren't super close to. I doubt it, though. Really? Hmm... Yeah, LtP's changed a lot since you (and a bunch of others) left. ^^; I see. ......Are you getting the message I'm sending here?
