GothiComp 2011 - Rules

[Trickstick]

I'd also like to point out that people should vote for painting and not for conversions.

Ow, I hope I didn't let the conversions influence my votes too much. Was this stated at some point and did I miss it?

[horizon]

I state that all and every year.

The clue that the conversion prize is awarded by judges, painting prize by votes.

I mention it every now and then.

The bottom of page 4 of this thread, very first post of mentioning heats are online. It is in the post at every other forum making people aware of it.


So, yeah, I do mention to people they should vote on painting, not conversion.

[Trickstick]

Well I think that I went for painting over conversions anyway in my voting. I only read the first post of the rules because I thought that would be the complete rule set. I'll remember for next year anyway.

ooooooooooooooo-kay then...

I have put some thought to it and I will allow discussion about the competition in the forums. Please do so in a civil manner (yeah). We are not waiting on comments like: "OMFGZGE ROXxxstsr!!!1, kewl kewl ship xx will Pawnzers you all!"
I have faith in you!

Does that include uploading more pics in the discussion thread?

Uploading extra pictures:
That could be a consideration for next year. This year, I dunno, I would need get back to every participant and give them the option to do so. Kinda late I think.

However, I do know some entries with additional pictures can be found elsewhere on the net (blogs/forums).

In one hand it would be nice to have some other pictures because it's difficult to show a 3D model with only one point of view ( even with a montage ). But too late for this year, changing rules or possibilities after submission's dead line is unfair for competitors and persons who already voted.

Speaking of 3D... Once came across a site which allowed you to add multiple photos together, this could alow a new spectrum to looking at submitions. It's easy to link to and integrate on other sites.
Site:
http://photosynth.net

You basically take pictures from as much angels as you can imagine and the program will try to match them together. So taking pictures allway round with an interval of 10° would give a perfect view. The bigger the intervall the harder it gets for the program to find common reference points. Up and down work to, just take a look at the example and drag it around (when clicking on the arrows).
An example how complicated you could make it:

The program isn't perfect but I'm just trowing in ideas.

I agree, it seems late for this year.

Okay then another thing settled.


Pisces, that idea is quite new to the concept and I don't know how the gallery/site would hold up. And it is hard enough for a lot of people to get time to get one proper picture. So at this moment I am not set on this as a submission request. It would be cool to such pictures in threads though.

[horizon]

Votes ranging from 51-58 per heat. Wow.
Only 1 voter in last three days, so the results are settling in... wanna have hints?

Only a few days left.

[Caine-HoA]

Yes give hints :-)

[horizon]

votes still runnin and barrin weirdness:
Ships
One heat tense till the end
Two other heats very tense during majority of the voting time
5 heats look to have a clear winner but not all 5 a clear second place

[Wintermans]

Less than a day remaining now... argh ! can't wait ! Do will we be able to see the results just after 7:54:26 PM or we will have to wait you post them ? Have you already decided for conversion selection ?

[horizon]

You will see the results in the heats/polls themselves at that point.

I wil start the tiebreaker round for the second places monday morning (6am), this will run for 3 days to keep the speed up.

As for conversions two judges gave their nominees, waiting on third one. Then some little discussion I think and then we will announce the winner after the final has run.
