Smile 2007 - The Voting

[Panda]

First of all, thanks to all those who took their time to make a smiley template for the first part of the activity.

As for the voting, here is how it will work
- Each of you will have 3 votes.
- The winner of this poll will count as 1 vote for the mod poll (so if you are a mod, please vote on the one at the admin boards). In case of a tie, those tied will count as a vote each.
- The overall winner template will be the one with more votes after counting all votes from the mod poll + 1 vote from this poll

Hopefully that's clear enough.
The poll will run for 5 days.

Wow, even with three votes, it was a tough choice. So many good ones!

Hey, can we post here? Seems kinda empty. Or am I just quick on the draw?

If so, FP!

If not, sorry.

Anyway, like I said, everyone's done so good. Tough choice.

Hopefully that's clear enough.

Pfff...So, one vote for the entire community? with all due respect, but whats the point then? Basically its just you modders choosing...kinda takes away from the "community" part of the activity.

I was considering bringing that up.. on one hand, the staff are all experienced pixellers and will choose the best set (whichever that may be )

but on the other, I would've had the community poll account for half the decision, not one vote for the *real* poll

[Gil]

Yeah, I'd say 40% community, 60% mods...

[Panda]

Well, if you have anything against how this have been set up, don't vote at all, I couldn't care the less.
Originally, when Indigo planned the activity, the winner template was going to be solely picked by the mods, but now you can make a difference.
The mod team is made out of like 10 or so people, and not all of them are active right now (so far only 5 voted), so a single vote will change the whole thing.

no offense Noe, but I think that's a pretty bad attitude to have..
To be fair, the community has done most of the work and it seems rather unwarranted to be as conceited to advise anyone who objects to not even bother with what little say they have

[Helm]

TakaM, only one set will be picked in the end, therefore as far as members doing work, only one of them will be rewarded regardless of what the procedure is to pick that single one. It doesn't take time to vote at all, though, so you know... what you say doesn't make sense.

[Panda]

Meh, I'm grumpy when I wake up. 
But what I don't get is why people who didn't even participate are complaining.

I pretty much kept the activity the way it was originally. I thought it would be a good idea to let you take part on it, even if it was in a minimal way, so that's why I set up this. But seeing how you are reacting maybe I shouldn't have at all.

I'm not changing the activity though. The winner of this will go to the next part and the activity will carry on, as planned.
Now, after the results are up, if anyone decides to work on a different entry and makes the whole set (all 41 smileys), it will be considered for addition.

But as said, if you don't like it, don't take part on it, after all, you will be able to set the current smileys anyway.

I dont see how that matters at all really, that i dont participate on a single activity doesnt mean im not part of a community.

Reacting how? expressing an opinion? From your response it has become clear to me, that you guys wont be changing the voting system; Still, i *think* i can still say i find it unfair; regardless if a participated in making a fucking smilie or not.
 

And about what Helm said, i think it makes perfect sense what Takam. said, the community did make most of the work; The mayority of those smilie faces were made by users, and not modders; hence it makes perfect sense to make the community vote, and get them directly involved on the process.

But you know what?  leaving everything aside, the activity would have been more fun to if the community was more involved, and theres no reason to put on the hardass/strict mask and tell everyone to fuck off....no one is making a riot, simply putting their 2 cents on the table.
