Virtue ------------------>

[/ QUOTE ]

i am flabbergasted that someone would actually give E-Man the virtue arrow! I don't know how to respond, except it aint real!!!!!! I will tell you why...

1. A real Virtue Arrow would NEVER EVER be in response to a true freedomites post.
2. A real Virtue Arrow is followed by the beloved ™ and no, not just the (tm) version either.
3. You have to be a regular in the freedom forums to actually be allowed to use the Virtue arrow.

Now... until you can do it with in the guidelines....

go back to VIRTUE ------>™ ya n00b

Now that we all have had our refresher on capt. caveman.... (thanks E!!!)

Ok, the voting is now ended. I want to thank everyone for their participation! I will be getting with Jester *hopefully* sometime today to see what order your videos fall into and take them back to the committee for a vote

Today is the last day for voting! Good Luck!

not until voting closes... then it goes to the committee for judging.

[ QUOTE ]

Well, I'm glad I did that, lot's of good entries, I took notes, I don't even have to worry about when it gets to the committee I already know who I'll be picking

[/ QUOTE ]

Just out of curiosity, why does it "have to go to the committee for judging"? Why don't PERC reps vote like the rest of us, at W00T? If you have final say why bother with a poll?

I don't care who wins, I didn't enter, I have no friends that entered. But I sat there, watching entries, more than once, to pick what I thought were best and now I can't help but wonder if I wasted my time because it's going to be about favorites. No offense, ah take offense I don't care, but I don't trust any of these player run contests to begin with.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nancy,

Thanks for the inquiry! I will be glad to explain to you why it's going to PERC for final judging, and it might actually help with some of the other "stuffing the ballot box concerns".

The original reason why we decided that we were going to have the community vote was to help us pick the top 15 videos (we were expecting a higher turnout- but hey! we still have quite a good showing), and from there the P.E.R.C. judges are going to judge based on 4 specific aspects: Originality, Professionalism, Creativity, and Commercialism. We can not expect to hold the community at large to judge based on criteria. We can only be accountable for ourselves.

The other reason that we are going to be judging is because what if one person does get all of his friends/family and accquaintences vote for them? This way we can make sure that all the rules are followed and there are specific aspects that we will be looking for. So, for example, if someone has all his friends come in and vote for him, but essentially made a music video (and I am not saying that anyone did this) we would be able to weed that video out with our own vote based on the commercialism judging criteria. (I hope that makes sense for you!)

I don't want you to think that we are not going to take the court of public opinion into account, because it will play part in finding the winners.

I was wondering if people who posted their video (like me) can vote for other people's videos. Not in the bad way of sabotaging the vote for them. But like some of their videos, I liked and some I thought needed more work. Am I allowed to vote and comment on theirs for public judging?

[/ QUOTE ]

I did both - I voted on every single one of them, and I posted comments on almost every single one of them. I don't see why we wouldn't be allowed to - it'd be kind of silly to prevent your peers from judging your work...

To clarify, there is a specific Vote (see the link for voting) and there is rating. You can go in and rate any of the videos you like, and leave comments! I know our artists appreciate them! The official "vote" you can only vote for one video, on both hero and villain side.

I hope that clarifies!

Thanks,
Rose

again, if there are specific questions you have on why we made the choices that were made, I will be happy to discuss them via PM.

The original contest was going to have <more> outside advertising, therefore a neutral voting ground was needed. Which is why going with w00t studios was a viable option when it came to voting.

If you feel the need to discuss anything else, my PM box is not full, and is very open for your questions.

Severe--

I am sorry that you think the vote is "stacked" or "padded" this was specifically done this way so that couldn't happen. I really don't know where you accusations are coming from, but if you would like a chance to calmly discuss any sory of "misgivings" that you might have about how the contest works, you can feel free to PM me.

dark-

all i can say is that the PERC judges will judge on ---

Q: What will the finalists be judged on?
A: We will be judging on 4 aspects. Originality, Professionalism, Creativity, and Commercialism. This is a COMMERCIAL contest, not a music video contest. Make sure that you sell, sell, sell!

commercialism is a big part of our judging. That has been stressed since the beginning
