Runouw Votes Discussion

[CedarBranch]

Really, I think the only solution is to keep the broad awards and make sub awards that branch off from those. Most Artistic already had best Sig and best Avatar. Best LDer could have best story, best puzzle, best platformer, etc.

A suggestion that must be considered.

I am all for adding sub-categories!

But more seriously, different types of levels require different sets of skills. Being recognized SIMPLY as a great designer in general isn't specific enough. You could be the best puzzle maker ever, but at the same time be terrible at story writing, yet you may not even be good at (playing) platformers.

I honestly don't like Runouw Votes and would just rather have it removed completely.

For the unenlightened , we talked about this with a bunch of other users on the chat. There isn't enough users to have a very fair or even vote. The categories have very little or no competition. We are closeknit and already for the most part agree who is best at what.

And most of the time it's the same people nominated each year.

Unfortunately, I haven't been on chat in a long while, so I haven't gotten as up-to-date as I should be--because of laziness + another reason I'd rather not speak of to anybody, at least for now.

Anyways, on-topic:
Although that point is very strong, how do you think some users may react to hearing the removal of something that people having been attending to for much of this very site's history? (not that very many were taking part in the first place.) Are we just throwing away some of this site's history? Have some users been looking at the RV as an incentive for their striving?

I wouldn't just redact the RV, but maybe we could at least diminish its importance.

Just my opinion.

People's ranks will never change, because we're all grounded in our judging by members' first impressions.

I'll always remain inferior to SK and LF, even if I produce something akin to the ♥♥♥♥ Mona Lisa.

Dammit my grudge keeps swaying my views

Us being procrastinators has nothing to do with a few of us wanting to cancel Runouw Votes all together.
I don't like it, the results are pretty much similar every year and there's barely enough members for any variation.
I don't want more choices, or less choices. Whatever we do there will still be little variation in the winners for years to come.

By procrastinating I meant that it felt people weren't really getting involved in the improvement process. But the more I read this topic, the more false that is. So, my bad.

I don't want to give up on it, just delay it until having RV is practical. It makes more sense to have votes when there is at least 100 active members. We have like 25. I've seen sites where competitions were sporadic. It is fine to be inconsistent. Not everything needs to be annual, monthly, or whatever.

I'm willing to have one last one before it goes on hiatus.
