Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 It always surprises me how few people participate in the voting...
Alleran Tan Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) It always surprises me how few people participate in the voting...Me too- but I always vote! I always make a point of never voting for myself though, mostly because there are just so many very talented writers in the fleet... this time I haven't decided who I'll vote for yet. I'm inclined to vote for Whale's sim, since it's Whale and therefore awesome, but I'll have to reread and review them. Fireflies is still something I had fun writing though, for my part at least. Since it's a JP, I might be convinced to vote for it since MacKenna is awesome. Edited January 27, 2011 by Alleran Tan/Radi Rais
+ Whale Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I plan to vote, but haven't had a chance to finish reading all the nominees yet -- I still have two to go.
Alleran Tan Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) A thought- for sims that are multi-part, and designed to be viewed together ("Happy Families", for instance, loses a lot of its impact if viewed apart) did we want to have just one "vote" for them? It has some ridiculously crazy competition so it's a bit of a moot point- but I think it'd be a good point for future competitions... Edited March 24, 2011 by Alleran Tan/Radi Rais
+ Whale Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I tend to agree with Mister TanRais -- if a sim is a two-parter and both parts are nominated, they should be counted as single entry.
FltCapt. Sidney Riley Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 I don't have a problem with placing them that way in the voting, if no one has any objections...
+ Saveron Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 I'll confess to a certain degree of confusion. Looking at the dates posted in the rules thread I think we should be in Round 9 by now. Am I reading it wrong?

FltCapt. Sidney Riley Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 My apologies. I will move the contest forward this weekend and get us back on track. You can always continue to submit sims for the rounds.
Sedrin Belasi Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I've made a gaff, have put Round 13 for the 'Inner Demons' nomination, but it should say Round 14, but I can't seem to edit it. Any help or suggestions?
FltCapt. Sidney Riley Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Just a quick reminder: Sims that are submitted must be from the time frame of the round in which they are submitted. Sims which are not from the specified dates will be disqualified.
Kotir Arith Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) Is it me or is this thread after falling behind? It still has the round 17 poll up even though on the calender round 19 voting should have started today?Just wondering cause I was a little confused :/ Edited September 26, 2011 by Ensign Chris O'Hanlon
+ LtCmdr Alexander Richards Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I know that the command staff who run this have been very busy recently and that yes it is running a bit behind. I'm sure they will get us back on track soon
FltCapt. Sidney Riley Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Rounds 18 and 19 Voting now posted for voting.
Arielle Teagan Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) What happens when two or more sims in same round has same number of votes?I saw this:If there is a tie vote, those two sims will continue to the next round of voting for a run-off. What does it mean? Edited October 10, 2011 by Arielle Teagan

What does it mean?I believe it does mean that they both qualify for the next round, but see if a staff member confirms this.Also, where do we nominate any sim that is written between now and end of the year? Do we start a new Round 1?

What does it mean?We have only had one tie vote so far this year. Both sims are proceeding on to the voting at the end of the year as we did have a winner from the previous round.

+ LtCmdr Alexander Richards Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Just want to say it's been fun reading this years entrants and, the winners of every round were deserving. Congratulations to the 3 finalists. All 3 were amazing sims and I only wish that all 3 could win.
Guest Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Agreed! All 3 were really strong and excellent reflections on the standards of writing in the group this year.
Landau Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Anyone know when the cut-offs are for submissions for round one? Are we in round two now? The Rules post hasn't been updated for this year yet.
