If We Have Contest:Can The Admins Will Be The Judge And 20% Of Players Vote As A Qbee?
Comments
in terms of adding judges i'm all for it, unfortunately the chances of admins doing this is relatively low, they elected an events guy simply because they wanted to focus their time elsewhere so they are unlikely to have the time to spare to judge this sort of thing. Using other players also has the problem of potential bias and is an instant no chance of entering for those players involved in judging.
Community voting - this is a straight up no for me, time and time again i have seen to many building contests swayed by who has the most friends or who bribes the most people to vote for them, not saying this is always the case but it has happened and could happen which is not something we can have on official events.
i myself dont look at the build untill the very end, the only contact i have is to check if its full and add new rooms
But come on Space! Let Frank help you judge! I’m sure he would make me win if he sees my wonderful pug statue <3
There are no scores, how do you know your build has been properly judged/rated?
Judging should be better with judges that score the build on their aspects.
In my opinion there should also be prize categories for the different aspects, because of the many different building styles. (like best bunny build, best egg build, best house build, best easter related builds, best easter factory build, great unique builds.)
To be fair, with so many amazing builds it's to hard to just pick 5. Especially with no rating system. There simply is no explanation when you lose. I have been entering building contests for 3 years. I lose every single time, without any explanation. And my builds are pretty good, its just that the judges like a slightly different style or something else quite petty which i am unaware of.
The reason there are not categories is because there doesn't need to be, its a simple brief and can be approached however one chooses with one sole outcome. it has to fit the requirements.
my personal approach to judging is i visit each and every build i take time to explore it and look at it from afar and then screenshot all relevant builds, i then go through those builds and refine it down. i compare similar builds (for example egg making machines) and i wittle it down to the very best or best few. then when my list of results is as small as i can get it with that process i start to make the decision of which build is better than others. what skill has gone into it, how it looks etc etc
if it makes you feel any better i have never placed in any of the winning positions in a building contest either

Hm what i mean space is by that we would put our names on the plots and you would number them. And put it in a document and then take away the brakes then put the number in their.

Wow 0.0 Jealousy? Na, seriously, you can't say this. Of course they are great builds, but you forgot variety. There were a lot of egg machines out there, a lot of houses, a lot of statues. Space had to think about that... Actually, the outlooking of a build is half of a judgement.. The idea remains an important part. Furthermore, the rules didn't specify any "age looking" builds, that's your own point of view.
Sure, Ed came first, probably because it was better than the others according to space? And I don't think a mod who do favoritism among all these builds. That would be stupid coming from a trustworthy player don't you think?
Besides, they have been improving the requirements, so more people could join the contest. Indeed, only 1k were required to build, unlike the other contests which required 5k. You can't say it is not fair.
Finally, don't forget the best thing is to take part in, not to win. =P
Still, I accept your opinion.
^This is what someone post on my thread of the same topic that space fetus closed.^
I am not Jealous at all. All I am trying to say is how is it fair that Space Fetus picked Ed to win and that is his best friend in the game and not only that ED is a mod he should have never been aloud to enter the contest to begin with. That would be like McDonalds doing the Monopoly Contest and a manager from one of the foods chain stores wins a million dollars. Employees are not aloud to win those types of things because it is basically being biased. Mods and admins our anyone who does any type of work for cosmic cow that plays the game should never be aloud to enter the contests. That makes it unfair to the players who do not work for cosmic cow to get a fair deal. I am not saying all the builds were bad I am just saying the ones pick where not as good as others. ANd I mean for a Mod like Space Fetus to pick another mods build for the win is kinda bias dont you think. I am sorry in advance if i offend anyone not my intention to do so. I just know i could have picked 10 other builds that looked better then EDs to win. just seems unfair that the same people win over and over again. I could have cared less if I won I just think this last conest was rigged form the start. But you know what they say about opinions. Thanks and I hope everyone has a great day. Take Care
