3-2-1 Point system

[Killer Vision]

Iv been an avid Fan art veiwing member and i can see that the art contest grows each and every month. its hard to win a medal with all the great competition going on which i think is great for everyone.
I have come to realize that voting on the art of the month is very difficult in the status quo for there are drawings that deserve same credit for being a close 2nd or 3rd best amongst the entries.

The current system my allow a clear 1st place but the 2nd and 3rd place my but sometimes in question and to top of it all, there's a strong chance of ties in voting.

What im suggesting while bring out a clear 1st, 2nd and 3rd placer and hopefully will add content and credibility to the results.

Here it is:
all voters get to score his or her top 3 picks

3 points for your 1st place,
2 points for your 2nd place,
and 1 point for your 3rd place.
in the end, all score are sum up and the winners are declared for that particular month.

What do you think guys?

 

[Yanto]

Yeah its a quiet good idea..

 

[OhReary]

I like the idea but
points for what?

 

[Οdin]

I can agree to this.

You must be registered for see images

 

[-S-]

So the more times you win, the more points you stack up? Interesting idea

EDIT: Ah I see now, this is a cool idea! Just one thing, it may give Cali more work xd

il be the scoring system bro.. example

Artist A -3 points
Artist X 2 points
Artist C 1 point
the highest score is the winner

So basically instead of voting in a poll, everyone gives points to 3 artists? And by the end of the voting week, the mod will have to sum up and see who wins?

Ahh there's the example i was waiting for.
I guess that sounds good, more chances for every entry.

yup, i think so too. bring out the calculators..xd

Personally i don't think that can be fixed,
though i still support the idea, it will still have a pro and con

Pro: Different distribution of points among various artists
Con: Favorites, that can't be stopped, I've seen people
with professional technique in there drawings, that must have taken years
to develop, and yet they've been overlooked <--those who
disagree with that otherwise are oblivious.

Doing it "by hand" might be a bit annoying for Cali, something tells me he already has his hands full. A program would simplify the things a lot, but that's not my domain xD
On the other hand, I wonder how many voters will be so eager to the change, rating 3 artists instead of one simple click in a poll. People are quite lazy after all.

At any rate, nice idea, +respect for giving it so much thought, but I'm okay with either way the voting will be held xD

 

[Mante]

Nope. It will add more work to Cali plus some members might edit their post..thus more problem :shrug:

 

[Nocturne]

its a nice idea...but like lara said...people are VERY lazy already to VOTE!...they would rather find this more LAZIER to TYPE in...i mean this way there wont be any suspense left for the winners aswell...

also more work for cali...then summing all that up and the announcing it can be VERY hectic work for him...he already has his hands full...this would rather make him go nuts...

Oh well, whatever happens happens..
just trying to help. xd

 

[Yugure]

I really like the idea, since it is difficult to vote for only one person each time, every round had at least 4 or 5 amazing artworks, and choosing one is really difficult, so I think the idea is good...

But it will bring a lot of extra work for Cali, the poor guy

[Gèckö]
