Ethereal Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 SOTW Ideas. Changes in the Sub-Forums In the Originality section, as a sub-forum, a section called Signature Competitions could be added. Reason : people will want a SOTM ( Signature of the Month ) plus SOTW is definately going to be added. So combining them together would just equal Signature Competitions. In the Signature Competitions we could have 2 sub-forums for that : the Court of the Judges for all game masters, judges, moderators and administrators could come and give their feedback and vote for their favourite signature. So this way, it wouldn't lead to the players only voting for their friends. The second sub-forum would be : The Hall of Fame. Which is the place where all the winners of the SOTW + SOTM would go. Plus, it would keep it more organized. So this would keep everything more organized. ------------------------------------- Changes in the Way People Vote For this part, we're going to have judges instead of normal players voting. Why? We've noticed for a while now on how people only vote for their friends or they were paid to vote. Don't know what judges are for the signature competitions? The judges are the few people selected because they give honest feedback, actually know how to criticize without flaming / trying to cause drama in any way, and giving suggestions, if possible. And no, honest feedback does not mean saying, I like what you did there. It looks nice. I like your signature the best because it has a hot asian guy in it! * KAWAII * And also, the judges will most likely have some artistic talent. ( Photoshop, drawing, painting, etc. ) And also for the judges, they're going to have a section only for themselves, which means noone can enter the section except the judges, game masters, moderators and administrators. ----------------------------- Other Changes Prizes(?) Most likely, the prizes should be changed. Some of you have complained/ranted/given suggestions on the prizes. So far, there's only 1st place prizes and that doesn't seem fair so far, so we're going to need 2nd + 3rd place prizes. This is going to take some work but it needs to be done. Changes such as lowering the prizes or increasing it may be involved, but no further plans have been made. I think I will most likely hand out little trophy signatures for the winners each week. This may take some work for me but it's a great way for people to know that you've won 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. I haven't decided whether I'll do this or not, so I'll think about this one. --------------------------------------- That's all for now but if you have any suggestions regarding the SOTW/SOTM, please give PM me or post here. No flames / spam in the topic, if you do, you will be warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terroryst Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Let's have a MSN chat 'bout this. We can also gossip about Dina, Kuoch, and Dean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Those are some really great ideas. Maybe having 2nd and 3rd place winners may influence people to turn in something just so they can win 2nd/3rd by default xD. An idea could be a separate division of this competition, which would be the Most Popular signature, where it is similar to what we're already doing, having the public vote. The prizes could be not as good, but it would still be a nice way to get the public into this, since everyone who enters wants to show off their skills and get praised. If this doesn't appeal, then at least make a topic so we can criticize it or vote without it actually counting for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terroryst Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I did a SOTW with second and third prizes, I don't know why we didn't just continue that. Second got 50 and third got 25. Better than nothing in my opinion. As for the trophy thing, just start makin' them userbars or whatever they're called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittie Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 LOLOL I think the public should still have SOME sort of input on the results. Do a panel of judges who all have 1 vote each. An even number of these judges. The swing vote should be like the public where they vote in a poll. Winner of the poll = 1 point. Does this even make sense? LOOLOL. I suck.

Like you mean make a voting poll or thread similar to what we have right now but that winner there only gets 1 point towards the judges vote. Then the judges vote on their own too. So like.. 1 additional point for whoever is chosen by the public? xD idk if I explained it any better LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
