Arr. contest 2 - The grand dance! SCORES UP!

[MaestroUGC]

Yeah, I tanked on the popular vote as well, but I can't complain, I voted for Dahans as well.

[dahans]

wow you have voted for me? That is a real honor for me, thanks a lot.

[MaestroUGC]

I thought yours was the best, plus I wasn't going to vote for myself.

... .__.

I expected to be so bad that Cobra would look at it and be like "WTF if this shit?" and reject me :3

Wow. Maybe raise the bar?

[MaestroUGC]

Cobra had no say in what was submitted, he just compiled and redirected the arrangements to the judges.

[Ruto]

The popular vote was added in "Mario Kart" style, with the piece with the most votes getting 10 points, the second got 8, and so on. I thought I had explained it in my post, but oh well. I don't think the results would have been different if the votes were applied directly, giving one point each.

Sounds like maybe a rubric style scoring could be used next time, it might help with the scores being too close to full points. Not to be really mean, but if something is 1/5 of your expectations, you should just give them that...

Based on that I would totally edit my judging. I just don't want to hurt peoples' feelings.

[MaestroUGC]

The point of being a judge is to assign a score based entirely on what was presented, not on what that might implicate. I think only one person actually did that this time around.

Lol, did anyone else notice that Maestro and I kept our names in the file info?

who?

[Olimar12345]

I only gave out 1 perfect rating in one of the categories, out of ALL of the pieces.

Who indeed...

[Raymondbl]

I don't know, my initial expectations were pretty low.  I didn't expect this community to be so talented.

[SlowPokemon]

^we aren't...

[K-NiGhT]

^we aren't...

That's a dirty lie.

You all are amazing.
