New Challenge for Vampyr!
After careful consideration, I'm starting to understand Germanator's point. I'm seeing now that no matter whose work is better, people will vote according to who they have money riding on.
When you gamble on something you usually don't have control over the outcome and so this makes this event very foul. It's obvious people who bet it all on Vampyr will vote for Vampyr. And people who bet on me would vote for me. Seeing as there is a bunch of money riding on Vampyr, I highly doubt I will win now..... After seeing the submitted work, How many people can honestly say they would go against their bet and vote for the better piece? Not many people would choose to lose their doubloons. This vBookie event has become a cheap easy money event. People who bet on the outcome should've have control over the outcome. For this event, I CRY FOUL and I wish to have this vBookie invalidated. And I'm challenging Vampyr with these new stipulations: 1. Must be more than 400x400 2. Elements can involve 3DSM/Stock Images/Photoshop Voting: 10 to win No Owned Voting Winner: Gets pride Loser: Gets respect for trying I don't want ANY doubloons riding on this challenge, because it makes the challenge dirty... unless we can somehow restrict the people who bet from voting. |
Re: New Challenge for Vampyr!
woulda been easier to let people bet, then just select a group of people who arent allowed to make a bet to judge and determin and 'winner'
and its not that people would intentionally vote against the better one for the one they have 'money' on, its that its not hard to convince yourself one is better if thats the one you WANT to be better. |
Re: New Challenge for Vampyr!
I just feel this contest would be better decided if respect and pride were the prizes, and not monetary value that blinds everyones judgement.
I will agree to continue to participate in the vBookie event if we DID select a panel of judges to vote, and those judges would be impartial, and have no money riding on the event. So.. GameMaster... whats it going to be? I won't participate in this vBookie unless Impartial judges vote on it, and not the people who bet their money. |
Re: New Challenge for Vampyr!

Re: New Challenge for Vampyr!
Well being the one who challenged Vampyr... I want the contest to be decided legitimately... and not a vbookie circus with people making monetary bets and just making their votes based on their bet.
In any case, I guess i'll just pull out of the race.... here is what I was going to submit: ![]() |

OMG!!! Teh pwnages!!!1111@!@@1!
Mine eyes burn with shock & awe!.... (not really ;) ) |
Re: New Challenge for Vampyr!
Null is right, we should still do this. I put a lot of work into my piece. Lets just have a panel of judges, ok?
And it's not like you can give everyone back their doubloons. |
Re: New Challenge for Vampyr!
If we do continue, I will need to design something better then what was shown ;)
Also.... who are going to be the judges? It seems a lot of people participating are the people betting... |
Re: New Challenge for Vampyr!
Once the betting station has closed, I will recruit a panel of 5 judges to critique your work. The judges will be people who did not participate in the vBookie.
