Knowl Paine Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 The Contest is an excellent idea, I am very interested in viewing all the photos.I think that the amount of time to enter should be increased. Voting could start after the entry deadline. 1 week to enter, 1 week of voting? Reset the votes to -0-?I have not yet voted because I see new entries. It's moving too quickly.I welcome positive comments and suggestions from other Residents about this Topic. (I only reviewed the rules set forth by LL; if LL has directed Residents to communicate through channels provided by LL for this contest, I suggest that Residents with serious inquiries follow those channels. This is a general discussion.)

Amethyst Jetaime Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Looks like a fun contest if your inspired to change your avi's looks. I agree that it would be better and more fair for the thread to be open a week for entires, then locked, with a week of voting to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Catnap Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yeah voting should not have been open until after entries were locked, and it ought to be default sorted by what's new rather than what's hot - or show more entries at a time... something to help ensure people look at them all before voting.

Is there a prize for the winner? yes....the first prize is LS 5000 and for nr 2 and 3 its 1000LS I did not enter for the monies, could not care less, but for the fun and seeing what other people submit! It is basically another popularity contest, as kudo's seem to define the winner. Oh well, I had my 35 mins of fun making the pics..hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not. I am sure it is a popularity contest in the end. That's okay though. A lesson perhaps for future contests like this! I like it, and participated - vain as I am and never miss a chance to show off - but ..yeah, suggestions as raised in order as opening voting in a later stage are useful. Residents from all over the globe may need time to catch up. I, for one, only saw this after a day of work and already loads of images were uploaded and gotten the Kudo's. Even Viale Linden already gave his one Kudo to a participant in this early stage. I mean.....maybe give ppl some time to make pics and get it uploaded? I feel I entered too late already!

LOL Well indeed. I have not seen any announcement, other than that it was 'live' already and filled with submitted images (and their kudo's) by the time I discovered it by logging in, due to my timedifference with SL time. An announcement would have been nice, as you say: preparation for stuff like this is half the fun! So yeah, I entered tonight (euro time) and did take the time to make proper outfits and all. Cos well, no..I was not a n00b 3 weeks ago and so my make-over needed some thoughts! Still a fun idea, don't we all love to show off a bit? heh! I do!

Wildcat Furse Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 hey guys, I just left the contest (just posted a FUNcat instead) because I understand a lot of people are unhappy because Viale Linden has voted for me .... it's unfair and I know that .... I wish all the other participants much luck in the contest ... have fun!!! *meows* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, um, Viale's premature, um, casting of his, um, vote. There is a little business sense here.....the contest sponser and employees are wise to not participate.

Marigold Devin Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Viale is a dolt, and really, what Knowl says in his original post is spot on. Voting shouldn't have been started until all the entries were in. Trust LL to instigate something that potentially could cause bad feeling between residents. I'm sorry you pulled your photo, Wildcat, and I know that you and the majority of the residents who have participated so far, have done it for the fun, like with the vanity thread, rather than the linden dollar prize.

Ann Otoole Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 All vote contests in SL are drama laden. Perhaps LL will learn they need actual SL residents on staff or as consultants to help them comprehend SL. Beyond that I won't bother. I am a vocaloid one day, a reptilian the next, a demonic clown the next, a latex goddess the next. I don't play SL as one "avatar". I play as I feel from day to day. I could post dozens of "before" pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knowl Paine Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 I am not looking at "who" votes for who. You did not have to do that. :smileysad: I believe that there is still time to adjust the contest. A "rolling restart"? I will wait until the last day to cast my vote. I will look for the Resident who displays the greatest amount of change, or refinement. I am looking for details of self expression and examples or expressions of character. A projection of their "inner self". :smileyhappy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why despite what he thinks, or whomever it was that thought it, the CTUG meetings should have not been canceled. The amount of expertise that LL has cut it self off from is appalling. I personally have over twenty years experience in retail sales and mgt and have won first prizes in both major national and regional promotions. But it's like talking into a vacuum here.
