We are still considering doing another contest here again. Just a little off put by the complaining from the contest and about the contest that we saw.

I only imagine i was part of the complaining, but if the rules are clearly stated, then the contest is going to be what it is.

If you let everyone vote once a day, it would:
1. generate lots of taffic for the site
2. allow for people to spread out their votes if they felt strongly towards multiple mods
3. Encourage people to ralley their friends or non-friends to vote for them (Selling yourself is a valuable life skill) ;)

I remember JJ loosing a contest on the Intel site because the people he was up against had a huge following and there was some fraud involved in the whole ordeal. But unless you do it like that other where there are a certian number of judges who have a 75% say in the total score and only allow the people's vote to count a little, it still gives a reason to get people to vote, but takes a little of the popularity contest out of the equation.

If it's good enough for Dancing with the Stars, it should be good enough for us! ha ha :whistle:

Well here are the results for the contest. The 3 judges had me in 1st with 10, 9, 8 a total of 27 out of 30 points, but in the fan votes (likes) I came in last only received 5 points. I totaled out at 32 and in 3rd place. I'm ok with that. I also like the judges had me winning. Thanks to all of LanOC members that liked or commented for me in the contest. Here is a link to the full result list.www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150699...94885&type=1&theater Thanks again guys.

So Im confused, you have like 30 likes on your picture, and I was told to vote you just Like the picture on thier facebook page. How does 30 likes = 5 points for Fan Votes. The winning fan vote currently shows 54 likes, but has a 10 for Fan Votes. Oh well. Maybe they have some wacky way of coming up with the Fan Vote score or something.

Another thing is I do not agree with the winner AT ALL. Its just all green lights, Except BLUE for some reason in the top right corner, along with tubing that look green even though the modder himself said he wanted the tubes to be blue which in the submitted pic, they were not.

I had the least likes on my build for the contest. Likes equals fan votes with 1ST receiving 10 points, 2ND 8 3RD 6 and 4TH 5 points. So that was the break down. I don't want to say negative things about the other builds. Some of the comments said what I was thinking anyhow lol. I was just glad to be in the finals. I was given 3 old cases to mess with. I think I'm going to practice painting with rattle cans on one of them. I want to put a layer of clear acrylic under the red acrylic on the wolf's head build, and light it so it will glow. I also still want to put a piece of red acrylic under my motherboard (I'm getting less worried about static now). I might take another piece of red acrylic to cover my tool less 5 1/4 bays. So it would all be one level, but I'm not sure about that. If anything the surprise of being in Xoxide's finales has me motivated to try a lot more things . I will keep you posted.
