RedStarRocket91 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 All contestants have to vote, including you. How will you vote if there are no screenshots of our maps? You know. Download the map. Play it. The same way that you're SUPPOSED to be choosing your votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkullWarriors Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 hey how bout we do something more fair, like we submit our maps and AD can put them in a voting thread but without putting the map maker's name, to prevent biased results? i think it would clean up the voting a little more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatchworkZombie Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 All contestants have to vote, including you. How will you vote if there are no screenshots of our maps? So my map is going to be judged purely based on aesthetics rather than how well it plays? That's the stupidest thing i've ever heard. I was looking forward to this contest but there's no way I'm entering now I know it has been organized this way. Also seen as most of the entrants know each other it pretty much invites massive bias. To be honest, if I had the time I could pretty much ask my friends to enter and vote and no one would ever find out, so rigging the entire thing wouldn't really be too difficult. Good luck to the entrants though I suppose. You know. Download the map. Play it. The same way that you're SUPPOSED to be choosing your votes. No one is going to do that. Think of the BTB category. I can't just rustle up fifteen other people out of nowhere to play those. Even 4v4 would be very difficult to be honest. It would be so much easier/fairer if the admins just judged the maps themselves. I appreciate wanting to involve the community in the process but it just promotes unfairness/bias/rigging.

RedStarRocket91 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 thats a silly idea, plus people arnt bias when they vote, and people want to know who they are voting for just for their notice. I actually disagree. I think a lot of people will vote purely in order to give votes to their friends. Look at the previous map contests we've had - only about half the people actually name the map they're voting for, the rest just say 'I vote for X's map!' or whatever. I also think the votes should be done in secret - have a Poll with member ID turned off. Mods can still see it to make sure nobody's using secondary accounts or whatever. That way nobody gets pressured into voting for a certain map. No one is going to do that. Think of the BTB category. I can't just rustle up fifteen other people out of nowhere to play those. Even 4v4 would be very difficult to be honest. It would be so much easier/fairer if the admins just judged the maps themselves. I appreciate wanting to involve the community in the process but it just promotes unfairness/bias/rigging. This is exactly the wrong attitude. Even if you can't get all those people together, you should still be able to work out whether a map will play well or not. If you're incapable of judging how good a map is, you probably shouldn't be voting in a 'How Good Is The Map' contest. Also, Mods can be biased. If someone submits the two best maps in separate contests right after another, will they still pick them for the second one? Suddenly it's not about whose map is the best, but whether or not you want to risk looking like you favour someone. Community votes - without revealing who the author is - are the fairest way to go about choosing winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and disagree,we probably should have a poll but i know i voted for 'donuts map' because i was on the ipad, and cant be bothered saying the full thing, not being bias.
