people kept getting on me whenever i made a decision. I made a decision to not allow a permabanned user to go into the final round, due to the fact he couldn't enjoy the prizes.


people got angry, i got pissed, so i had it deleted.

[~Massin4Christ~]

Tok`ra was going to the final round not because he was a good singer! The point is to find the BEST sgw singer! Tok`ra also is banned, he shouldnt have been allowed in first off... To bad, he screwed up and tried messing sgw up believe it or not...

[~PK~]

MFC, isn't the point for the COMMUNITY to decide who the best singer is? Tok`ra had the most votes plain and simple. Infact, he ASKED Bill to get an admin to check the votes for multis (something only an admin has the ability to do) but rather than do that Bill chose to delete the thread.


Off to find my cam ... or am I restricted to just audio?

SGW Idol 1.1

For those that are curious, Pianomutt didnt like that Tok`ra was in first place, and deleted the 162 votes that were in the poll up to that point. When users begain complaining, he then deleted the entire competition.

So Im going to re-start it.

ANYONE is eligable for this. As long as they have played the game at some point, execpt for majorleehurts and that smurf guy from the previous competition, as they helped ruin it by crying over being in the W.Hung award running.

It will work as follows.

Everyone submits a song, or copies the link from their song from the last competition..

Once everyone has a song in (will be a few week proably) we start round 1.

The top 3-4 people from round one will go to round two.

The top two people from round two will go to the final round to find a winner.

For everyone that doesnt make the round one cut (or the bottom four if we have a lot of people submit) we will have the William Hung award, same as last time.

BY SUBMITING A SONG YOU AGREE THAT IF YOU DONT GET ENOUGH VOTES YOU WILL BE IN THE W HUNG AWARD THREAD AND WILL NOT CRY ABOUT IT.

Anyway, go ahead and start singing people .

The reason I ended it....is....

1. People complained about how I ran it.
2. Concerns over voting multi's, yet people argued for them to be included.
3. I was only going to allow people who can accept the prizes, advance to the final round...which eliminated tok'ra.


So, I stopped it. I don't need the crap that I was receiving..have fun running it yourself.

You expect an admin to go vote by vote, checking every ip.....also, Unlike tokra, I am not sure admins can.

Remember how the ombudsman vote was done, it was done because that was the only way that the vote could be verified.

Last I checked, the reason the ombudsman voting was done in the voting forum was because admin couldn't....If an admin wishes to verify if he can or not, that's his business. But I have to operate until what i know, not what others claim to know.

Bill

so for those three reasons, you deleted 162 votes ?

Why not just pass it off to someone else to run ?

I have to say- the whole Idols was a big mess... I personally would have let it run, and changed everything in the 2nd running... lessons are to be learned, not avoided/covered up/ etc...

I redid the voting to correct the mistakes....they still weren't happy....So I asked to have the thread disappear. Frankly, I didn't start the contest to have a bunch of people get on my case.


ALL of them, were tok'ra supporters....the only way to have fixed this, would have been to ban tok'ra from the beginning...Which is the mistake. So, if ever i run another contest, which is likely because i've ran many in the past...I won't include any permabanned user. Either ingame or in forum.




Bill


As for tok'ra being ingame, we all know he is. But, resources can be easily tracked by admin...did you all consider that if he did win, admin would find him and he'd delete his account....you all can't really be that dense to not realize this?


As for admin watching it, see idol post one..Admin Jason posted in there.



BTW, I have not been an admin in this type of fourm.....Also, I tried but i'm friggin useless at forum making lol. As tok'ra can verify, as I went to him for help

Bill

Basically the issue there was to have 99% certainty of who got to vote and who not.
It's all a matter of how certain you want to be the vote is right.
Personally, I think multis on an Idol vote can never become such a massive problem.


Bill: You were too diplomatic, mate. Yes, you made a mistake on allowing Tok`ra in in the first place.. a mistake that would have been rectified by scrapping one round (semi-finals) and have just 2 people pass from the 2nd round into what would become the finals. But that's talking in hindsight, and no help to anyone.


Good luck Almost! I trust you can keep this going.
