Kakeyo Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Yup, that's what I have planned. The elimination rounds will be multiple vote, and the final round will be single vote. How many votes will we get and how will voting be conducted? (And when should we vote by? :p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) For the elimination rounds you'll be able to vote for anything you want. Essentially you'll be voting for what submissions you'd like to see move on to the final round, so you can vote for everything you like/feel deserves to be in the finals. I like doing it this way because it gives people a chance to show the artists, writers and craftsmen that they enjoyed their submissions, where if it was only a single vote a lot of submissions would probably end up voteless just because people would vote for whatever one of their favorites they feel has the best chance to win. The 50 submissions (25 from the draws/sprites poll and 25 from the writes/miscs poll) that make it out of that round will move to the final round, which will be single vote only and will determine the winners and the top ten. Feb 5th - 10th will be the elimination round and 10th-15th will be the finals. Both date ranges fall on a weekend, so there should be ample time to look into the submissions and make a decision!

Jotari Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Is voting on your own submission allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) He said, as dozens of muffled gasps could be heard faintly among the crowd of event-goers. I think it's sort of an unwritten rule to not vote for yourself, so probably best not to, lest you invite silent judgement upon yourself.

Kakeyo Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Oh good - then I have plenty of time to look over the entries again! :3 I looked at all the art and miscellaneous sections (including to listening to all the music), but I definitely want to go back through and give it another look-see. So many stories! I love reading - I'll totally read every single one of them, but I'm glad I don't have to do it all in a day or two. I got through a handful of them already (and I need to go to bed soon) but I'll probably also give them all a second glance through before the 5th. Unlimited votes in the first round is a good idea! Will there be a poll or will people be messaging you with their "ballots"? Edited February 3, 2016 by Kakeyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inactive Account404 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Wow, there's some amazingly talented people here! Seriously, I don't even care if I win anything. I'm just enjoying looking at everyone's entries. :) Good job everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busterman64 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm loving the entries that have been submitted and they're really cool (one or two left me kinda speakless)! Also...wow...I have MUCH to learn. I drew a picture that I am pretty proud of , but in comparison...dang... Then again, most entries probably used their 2 months wisely (for the most part). Not me! I did mine during the last week because of me procrastinating a lot...and my (mainly school)life just needed most of my attention! ...It's still pretty good though, but it could have been better. Lastly......THANK GOD, I FINALLY HAVE SOMETHING INTERESTING TO READ THIS WEEK! AND I have some music to listen to while reading! ;3 Wow, so many submissions! I feel intimidated, heh. The feeling is pretty mutual! ;3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex95 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Yeah, I have no chance of winning this XD I looked through every submission and I really enjoyed what I saw. And it really looks like everyone had fun with it all! Excellent work to everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nym Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Welp, at least I had fun making my story. I have a feeling that the drawing section will cause some problems (since there are so many good draws). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miatt Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm not sure only one week will be enough for the written stories. Split the poll into two seems also just. I mean, it's over 50 creations, I think it will be difficult for people to choose. But anyway there is a lot of good creations, well done everyone!

Shaman Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) I just finished looking at nearly every submission. I am excited to see the results and find out who will get the 1st prize. Edited February 4, 2016 by Shaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nym Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I don't know if the pool has categories or not but if it's the latter, I wouldn't be surprise to see drawings almost everywhere xD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I'll be the contrary opinion and say that the writing side has a lot of really good stories. . .and I'm not even halfway through them! The stuff in miscellaneous is impressive, as well. I'm really picky about what I like in my drawings, though. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
