Stan Alda Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 "Usefulness 1/3 (too slow)"...that fits my card-making skills to a tee. I had plenty of fun doing it though, so thanks for setting this contest up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Exa Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Yay, first time first, I'm glad you overlooked my little fails, and that was close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A._Sakuyamon Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 2nd ah, that's certainly pretty high. I figured that the OCG would hurt me the most so I'm not mad at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 So... you deduct 2 points from someone for 'making a level four tour guide'... having given it max points for balance... and me and another guy have points deducted for not having the time to spare pointlessly trailing the Internet for rubbish pics when we were already knew we could only get a max score 18 anyway... Right.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sora1499 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 @Majestic Star Bahamut Dude, its Kvn's contest, not yours. He can do what be wants with it. If you don't like the results, make your own contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral_Stalfos19 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Damn, half a point off tying w/ second =/ ... Anyway, why the 1.5 for the second card's balance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpakha Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 @ Stalfos Your trap could search out any level 4 or lower Rock monster. I searched it on DN and there were 3 pages filled with them >.< That's an extremely general searcher, but it's kinda situational so 1.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Fine, I will answer. As pointless as arguing with people who won't acknowledge they are ever wrong is (I know, I do enough of it at work) I will try to explain. Miracles may happen.

[/quote] My problem is that you set out a scoring system, gave everyone a final score... and then added and deducted from that score based on aspects that were apparently covered in the original score? I never saw anything in the original rules that said there'd be a two point penalty deduction for no pictures, seeing as it was already covered by knowing I'd get 0/1 on the picture score. If it was added later after I submitted, hint for future; once someone's submitted their card; no-one comes back to the thread until the results (or to demand the results) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koshej Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Um, why do you think my support Spell isn't balanced so much? I mean, should it be more LPs to pay, less monsters to summon or what else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpakha Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 @Majestic: You are the only one here who keeps complaining (Koshej did for a little but stopped).

No-one visits the thread between submitting a card and posting of results APART FROM the one obsessive person with nothing better to do than follow the thread and check it every single time there is a new post in case it contains results, of which there is usually one sometimes two.

[/quote] I'm not complaining about the card. The card was average thrown together crap at best, I know that. What I want to understand is why I and somebody else suddenly had two points deducted extra after scoring because we do Written Cards rather than use the broken and outofdate cardmaker and search for rubbish images, when there was no warning of 'YOU WILL BE PENALISED FOR NOT USING PICTURES'? As it looks your scoring on a random whim; you set the parameters, judge a card by them, then thought nah should have got more/less and come up with these extra additions/deductions. Please, enlighten me. Who complains in private because it's convenient to the one being complained at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koshej Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Bahamut Aha, I'd also add that I didn't "complain a bit, then stopped", like Kvn said for some reason. All I did, was to state that I disagree with his POST-CARD-POSTING additional rule of "no Pokemon pics" (and I specifically said mine was from Digimon, thus not EXACTLY that - but it was pretty obvious he meant me, cause NOBODY else had any cards with pics of any relation to this "rule"). First, he HAD to state this in the FIRST post and BEFORE the first cards came in. I have NO WISH to remake cards I ALREADY submitted. Does ANYONE? Second, I check for new posts few times daily, in most cases. Still, I would NOT remake my card AFTER it was already submitted. In other words: ALL conditions MUST be mentioned in the very first post - the FIRST time. Or at least BEFORE many cards were submitted. (Ideally - before ANY cards get in.) Third, I'll join the "why the heck DEDUCE points, if you are already doing them in the x out of y fashion???" complain. Four, I do hope nobody will get negative feelings towards contests in general due to this, khm, BRAT... BYE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpakha Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I NEVER took off 2 points for no pictures. Almost all the people had 2 or less points taken off. I warned everyone that i will deduct points for things like that. Not my fault if you miss out on information. I told everyone to check the contest at least once a week. If you did that you woulda known, and if you felt it was unfar then you coulda backed out of the contest. It's not my fault that you didn't do these things. If you go to school every other day then you will miss a lot of information, same thing with this. All of my contest have been like this one (except maybe first one), where i take off points from original score. I will not continue this conversation. If you want your points back Majestic then get it from the winners, i only profited 10 points from this and that is canceled out if you count the reps i gave. Btw I said in "Things to Know" that you had 1 post to convince me that it was unfair.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I guess I'll be jumping in the bandwagon of "people who complain about why they lost". Kvn, if it isn't too much trouble, do you mind PMing me the details of my cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
