Hey smokeandmirrors,
whats up mate.
first of all i was one who rated good for your post. i did it because i thought its good someone checked the scores in detail yet, and as well the scores you mentioned appeared somehow strange to me as well. but main argument was because you didnt hesitated and indicated it.
-we all wanted the scores to be open for everyone because of exactly that: that everyone can tell his concerns.
so i dont see any problem there.
But i can tell you that gaius and the others wont shit on your words. for sure this issue gets/got checked by them. and the rules of voting are gonna change a bit as well i guess...
But at this point i have to tell you that it is very wrong to picture gaius in that totally wrong way! i met this guy two times now, and i quite feel/experienced he is a honest person.
you cant imagine how much he did for this event. he gave all for it (including his voice).
i had been there as well... i dont wanna come to somebodies defence, but have you ever voted on a cup? it is really hard to be/stay objective over all the smokes&puffs.
as well you have to consider the different tastes/preferences of single persons Eugen mentioned yet...
Okay smokeandmirrors but now its getting too much from your side. you made your point clear.
from now on it gets trolling of course. the responsibles have noticed it and
will discuss it and take further actions imho.
of course it is not nice for them to have such hard offending allegations in this thread. they will do something, but i wont happen in public here in this thread i guess...
At all my opinion is, persons who got suspected for such a behavior should PM´d by the responsibles and asked about their votes, to get clear in what way/style they give away the points. members who came into discussing voting tactical several times should be locked out from further votings.
As well it could be discussed if we should all use the same style of voting in future.
i mean something like:
are 10 points in a category ONLY given away for the best entry of all? // is 10 points "reserved" for the best smell you could imagine, but didnt got handed in....
i hope you got my point
one thing to remember:
the only way that nobody feels himself disadvanteged is
not organizing a cup
