FTW (For The Wynn) Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Alright, for those of you who may not have noticed, Contests and 1v1s are very inactive lately and it is mostly populated with the same faces. However, that's not the biggest issue. The biggest issue is the voting problems. Very few members give good votes anymore. I usually give short votes myself, but they detail why I vote the way I do. There are favoritism votes. For example... [quote]i Vote Myself :0 Its AWESOME![/quote] Do I even need to explain this? Even if it was a joke, which I'm still not sure it was... [quote]2 card is over powered so La(Anger Level)[/quote] Aside from what may or may not be favoritism, it's a very shallow vote. [quote]I vote smashsquatch because it has a more useful ability[/quote] I posted this one because it was the only reason with no more description. I got these from just opening various 1v1s at random. I'm not saying that every vote is bad, but there needs to be a description of what makes a good vote and what doesn't and maybe an update to the rules if needed. If needed, I'll get better examples from some of the 1v1s I've participated in. [spoiler=Supporters]-TheComposer[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTW (For The Wynn) Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 [quote name='Little Red Lady!' timestamp='1295926446' post='4958988'] WoW 2 of my quotes are up there i am a bad 1v1 and a dang noob [/quote] I opened some of the more recent ones and I just chose quotes at random, not even looking at the names. The first one is the real bad one here...it's unprofessional. However, you're far from alone on this list. I could put a couple of my own ratings up here as well come to think of it.

FTW (For The Wynn) Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Well, just so you're aware, it was a joke in poor taste. It belittles your opponent and makes you look disrespectful. Just be aware of that next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTW (For The Wynn) Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Depends on how successful this is. I've talked to some of my Contest friends about it already. They all thought it would be a good idea, so I'm going through with it. However, I'm not the best at tutorials, and I want to hear people's opinions about what should be done in Contests, if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavens Guardian Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 kk Offtopic but a question: what is a decent size Pic that would look well at a card(for a Noob)(noobyier then me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Nu-13 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 It's YCM. 95% of people here are noobs that don't, can't and won't know the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW (For The Wynn) Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Indeed, and most likely they wouldn't look into the tutorial anyway. Even so though, at least knowing that it is there would give some comfort. Not a lot, but some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheComposer Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I say post a thread in Contests about it, since a thread in tutorials wouldn't do anything. I say try to get a mod to post a thread like this in Contests to have formal rules on it and get it stickied. I support either way though, as a thread in tutorials can't hurt the cause.

FTW (For The Wynn) Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'll wait for a few more supporters before I do anything more, but I think I'll post it in Contests if and when this gains at least 5-10 supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 /post criteria to vote in your thread, do not supply a voting poll. Problem solved? Also, stuff like this has to go through me if it's ever going to be accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Chess Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Well, there's nothing to support except the rules. Its true that many people don't even know the game, but you can just post the vote criteria in the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I was going to wait until I actually found out if there were supporters before talking to you to make sure I'm not going crazy and that there was an issue. I'll attempt the criteria thing during my next 1v1 and I've never attempted a poll because it seems foolish to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could say that I only want this judged by things like the effect or for OCG or for creativity, but there's still things like favoritism (which is why Card A vs Card B is usually how this is done now) and other unnecessary things. However, I will attempt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 If it helps at all, during the test period I'll focus on Contests (I seldom do though; so it'll be an effort even on my behalf). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
