Got Apex First Annual Awards Balloting

[IrishSS]

Here's the ballot. 20 categories. Simple descriptions follow each category. Vote and return to [email protected] by midnight Saturday the 23rd. Attach the file please, no inline text. Makes it much simpler. Please only vote once.

Ballot (http://www.teamfcf.com/badkarma/Ballot.txt)

*** I added one category and combined another... I added Most missed member...

[sho.gun]

hey irish, i might be able to whip up an online form for it... gimme a couple minutes.

[InfiniteNothing]

There might be fake voting. If it's on the web it's pretty easy to lie and submit your results multiple times. At least this way he can see who is sending in stuff. Perhaps we should all PM him.


Just a thought though

[kimchicowboy]

hey, does stylee's friend count for best looking girl? hehe. j/k.

or UT Memo's sister. :heh: j/k again

good point, I just realized that the output file is gonna be pretty messy too so nm about that online thing :(

[hapoo]

Heres what i'm thinking, Take the top 3-5 candidates from each category and hand it over to the GA Staff / GAM. And this way we'll get both the popular vote and GAM's input.

I think Apex, Leon and the rest have enough to do already. At least thats my impression. Why add more to their workload? If they are interested, they can send a ballot in as well. I know who the GAM's are, so they can contact me seperately if they feel their vote should count more than anybody elses. But frankly, I dont see why it should. They are forums members like everybody else. They just have the authority to police the forums.

If you dont trust me or have faith in me, so be it. Doesnt much matter to me. I volunteered to help out. If you feel like doing it, be my guest.

I had thought about something like that too, but I decided it woudl be a royal pain in the ass...

[YanksFanRy]

Thanks for doing this.
Quick question, was the final decision to send the e-mail as original intended?

[eSDee]

Whitak, the page has exceeded it's bandwidth. If you want I can host the site on my server.

[sbp]

Some of the choices are easy, while others are tough competition. :hmm:
------------------

Bannee's are not eligible to vote.

[hapoo]

so you going to check for hanging chads IrishSS? :P

if you want to host it, it would be great.

let me know where to send the stuff and i'll get it to you

thanks bro

(i tried to send this via pm, but your inbox is full :nono: :P

[Jenny]

I have a new site, now, too, just for stuff like this. :) So if SD's won't work, lemme know.

Not to crap on the idea but write it down. I think she's hit the nail on the head. People get their panties in a wad over silly stuff, I can already smell the hard feelings coming on.

Just so you guys know, the hosting company for my site is moving (not me, but they are physically moving), so it will be down for a day or two. It should be up shortly, updated with passwird's picture. :)

Nah, no need. :) Mine will be up within 24 hours, I think. Plus, most everyone has seen it already, I'm sure.

Send whatever pics you have, if we don't already have a picture of them.

:)

Oh, I don't know. I did leave last time with a lot of pomp and circumstance, didn't I, so coming back feels a bit funny. Plus, I've got like no free time for this sort of thing anymore. But I'll probably poke my head in every now and then just for fun and to see how things are going.

Cyberwings said that they'd be moving their servers from the Maine datacenter to one in Virgina. They said they'd be down for 2 days. I think it's been like 5 months now. Maybe they got lost? :shrug: :P

But then again, maybe jenny's host really is moving. :D

[eSDee]

I can host it if Jenny's host disappears like cyberwings. I have 80 GB of space :)

[Capricornholio]

I'll have to participate in next year's since I don't know most of you yet.

I have 500mb of space and 15gb of bandwidth!!! :hehehmm:

[eSDee]

Actually that's just the size of the drive that I am hosting my work's website on. I think the whole site is only like 350mb. Time to start uploading some pr0n! ;)

[IrishSS]

Frankly, I'm pretty disappointed... 8000 some odd members and you know how many ballots I've received?

12.

Not even 1% of members voted. 1%.

cause people are like that frenchbread guy. lazy as hell. That's right, we're all lazy bastards.

perhaps if there was an online form, it would be easier to do, so all us lazy people might think about doing it.

[whitak24]

i haven't had time to vote yet.

i will though.

besides, i need to consider my choices carefully :D

Not even 1% of members voted. 1%. first of all, i'm not even sure i'm registered to vote :hmm:

second of all, the hottest male/female members may not even have their pics available. in fact, afaik my pic is just an artist's rendering...and something about "america's most wanted" :dodgy:

third of all, yossar keeps peeking at my ballot, which makes it not exactly anonymous

fourth...ok, so i don't have a fourth reason

fifth of all, lobbying with beer is at an all-time low here, and nobody's been by with any in the interest of democracy :hmm:

so that's about it. but i think i'll vote soon...since i have a wee bit of time on my hands :P

Why not just use the forums to vote, afterall there is that vote feature. Perhaps we could get a separate topic for the voting with a thread for each category. . .

That would be hard to do. I mean, who would choose lets say 5 contenders? would there be an "other" option to vote if you don't like the 5 listed?


As for the voting thing, I don't get it. I mean, it is a cool idea but I just can't see anything but bruised egos and ballooned heads resulting from it.

Well like any other good voting system, we would nominate people. Have a prelim for the 5 in the thread than that way decide. But you know this is all way to much trouble for something stupid imo.

It's hard to vote for most attractive girl because there aren't that many pictures to choose from. I want more options darn it. :D
