VOTE IN! Vote out! Who's your favorite singing competitor?

[Hiroshi Sotomura]

Okay guys, it's time to vote the tops in! Vote your favorite competitor in! 2 people with the lowest number of votes go out.

Listen to their fantastic music!
Due to circumstances beyond the competition control, you will have to vote people's vocal songs, but for people who did not submit a round 2 audit, you have to vote in their original auditions.

To vote in, PM "Singing Contest Entries" (NOTE: There is actually a member called Singing Contest Entries. Please PM your vote to that.) with the message subject "VOTE: [member]", putting the name of the Top 10 person you want into the subject where [member] is. You will need to put a few words (anything in the message, just don't flame) so the message will send. Oh, and if you don't have anything in the subject title (like the member you want to vote in) I will most likely ignore the vote. You can vote as many times as you want, whoever you want!

*Edit*
Shuko has edited out the contents of this post due to the fact that she was a ninny and didn't read the instructions all the way. Do not follow her example. She will lead you to ultimate destruction and inevitable doom.

Have a nice day! :D

[Kiryuu]

You not supposed to vote in this thread
Jake's post says how to vote.

[Shuko]

Gah! Sowwy... -_-; *Goes to edit her post*

[KeeperEUSC]

Yay, we can vote for multiple members!

[Kira]

I vote for Eliana and Mvtm, if only one, Then Eli

[Shuko]

You can vote as many times as you want, whoever you want!

You might want to clarify this. 0_o Maybe say... putting a restriction to one vote per day? I can see it now... someone will think it funny to flood that inbox with tons of votes over and over again. It won't be very fair, will it? I don't want to have to put in my vote a thousand times just to make it count! :D

but even if there is a restriction on the voting, that doesnt mean that everyone will follow it, there will still be some who will find it just as funny to go against the rules and flood the inbox with the same vote

-_-;... This is why I think a Poll would be much better...

But things will probably work out all right in the end. I hope everyone "votes responsibly," lol.

[Hiroshi Sotomura]

A poll reveals the results publicly, so there's the problem.

[mvtm]

i am confused , in one bit , sorry for the problem , but are contestants allowed to vote? and if they are so , they have to vote for a person whos not him/her , right??

[Thomas-san]

That is correct...you can vote...but not for yourself...

[Night-Kun]

A poll reveals the results publicly, so there's the problem.
Isn't there a way to make the results not public? I thought I've seen some before... Anyway, I'm not ashamed of who I voted for, I voted for one of my friends and the one who I thought should win. Tried to only vote twice for each, but my computer was messing up so I think I voted for one person three times and the other only one... Oh well.. I'm not going to try to fix it, would only mess it up further... XD

Edit: Ok, I just posted my own poll (not related to this..) and there is a selection to make it where you could see who voted for who/what, but not one to see who's in the lead.. Guess that scratches my idea... But I do think it would be easier to determine who was the best, and you could make it multiple choice...

[Hiroshi Sotomura]

PC's poll system just doesn't work that way. If you can provide a private poll, that would be appreciated.

[Night-Kun]

Your asking the WRONG guy for that... I have no idea how to do any of the stuff the admins or even the mods do... Mine was just a thought... I support Shuko in the poll idea, and thought that PCs polls could hide everything...

[Shuko]

I suppose I'm just missing something important, and I apologize if it sounds like I'm making trouble; I don't intend to. I just fail to see why public viewing of the current runnings (and not who voted for what) is such a bad idea? The polls are designed so that each member of PC can only vote once for that poll, right? That would make things fair and balanced, regardless of whether PC members could see who was in what position.

But if it really is a bad idea for people to see the current runnings, then why not do this: change the rules so that each person can only send one vote PM. Period. You might have to restart the voting, but it would achieve the same effect as a poll, without compromising confidentiality. The only problem I see with it is that whoever is tallying the votes will have to make sure the same person doesn't vote more than once. Is it possible to sort PMs by sender? If so, you could do that, and just keep the first one sent, if by some chance someone sends more than one.

I had also considered recommending an offsite poll system, but that would work under the same principle as what we currently have working. You'd have no way of limiting the number of times people could vote on that particular poll.

Anyway, these are only suggestions. I'm not trying to influence judging; I just want to make sure each contestant gets a fair shot at winning. I'm not saying there's anyone on PC who's dishonorable enough to vote for their friend a hundred times, but with exclusivity enforced, it wouldn't even allow for temptation. Do you see what I mean?

[Night-Kun]

Shuko, I totally agree with you 100% I don't see why it would hurt to know who was in what position reguardless of whether or not we could see who voted for who, I proudly stand by my choices. I just think that it shouldn't matter who got what place as long as we couldn't see who voted for who (I don't see the point in that anyway, I voted for Shuko and Eliana) I just think that it shouldn't matter who you vote for as long as you want that person (or persons, if it comes to a tie) to win. And I believe that if there was a poll that more people would supply their opinion on who should be crowned the best. I think with the PMs, the same people will vote over and over since you all did not put any kind of limit to how many times you could vote for someone(s).

To sum all that up in one sentence: In my opinion, a poll would be a better choice to vote for who is the best singer. Not to mention how much easier it would be! Plus if you really wanted to, you could set an end date to when ever it pleased you.

Ok, more than one sentence, but I believe I've made my point.

[Shuko]

I just think that it shouldn't matter who got what place as long as we couldn't see who voted for who

And don't forget that one of the Poll options IS to be able to make the voters' identities private. You can run a poll where this stipulation is in effect, and people will only be able to see how many votes each person has gotten - not who voted for whom. But really, in the end, it depends upon the contest's overseer to decide what's best. It's Tetsuya-san's contest, so he'll implement what he feels is the best method. And regardless of what that method is, I intend to back him up on it 100%. I've stated my "case," as it were, and now that he knows what I have to say, if he feels that the current methods are the best after all, then I'll agree with him. And I hope everyone else does too. ;)

Btw, thanks for reading this, Tetsuya-san. Good luck on the judging, and I'm sorry if I've hassled you in any way by bringing this up. ^^;

[Georgie Porgie]

thats a kool pokemon card shuko can i get 1

[mvtm]

Hey GP , if you want one , feel free to ask , in this other forum.

http://pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=71

which is Graphics, located on the Art Gallery , since this isnt the right thread to post this type of requests. thanks

[Shuko]

thats a kool pokemon card shuko can i get 1

I sent you a PM about this just now, Georgie-san; check your inbox, okay? ^_~ And try not to post off-topic. This thread is about the Singing contest, not trainer cards, lol.

[KeeperEUSC]

Sorry that I've been away for all of this.

I have no problem with being able to see who voted for me and who didn't. If people don't want to vote for me, it's their right, and I won't be offended.

Still though, you should vote for the Keeper. He's a cool guy. Ya know what I'm saying.

[mvtm]

im not sure, but i think doing a poll is a bad idea, not because people can get angry or not by voting by a certain person.

Is by the fact that voters my get influenced , voting to another person . By the fact whos winning and loosing.That happens believe me.

[KeeperEUSC]

I'll admit that I voted for myself more than once, because I figured that's what people would do, and I'd have to do it to give myself a chance.

Let each person vote for someone else a maximum of one time. That means you could vote for 1 time for 5 different members, but not 5 times for one member.

[Thomas-san]

You can't do that! That is against the rules to vote for yourself.

[Alexis9000]

Well, alright, I'll vote by Pm, sorry bout that!

[[sugarPUNK!]]

You're not supposed to vote here! Didn't you read the first post? -- *sigh* Sorry. Anger management I need. --

By the way...I want to make this clear. Don't vote for me just because you're my friend. I want to deserve my votes, whatever number I get. If you vote for me, do it only if you think that I was the best out of all 9 of these other great singers. If I'm gonna win this thing, I'm NOT gonna do it by cheating my way out. >_>;

And here ends the rambling of me.

~John

[KeeperEUSC]

I voted for myself before it was posted that we can't vote for ourselves.

[Alexis9000]

P.K Hammer are u crazy??? I would never do that!! Why I should vote just because ur a friend of mine?? Don't be stupid!!

[[sugarPUNK!]]

I wasn't directing it at you. I barely even know who you are. And if you want to be my friend, start out by not insulting me. >_>;

I just want everyone to know that I want honest votes, not because I'm a good friend or whatever. If you think I'm good, vote for me, if you think I suck, but I'm a good friend, vote for someone else. I'd rather go down in honesty than take a victory from people that really deserved it.

[Shuko]

When does the voting end? Anyone know? 0_0

[Alexis9000]

Unfortunatelly, I dunno -_-! I wonder if the judge is still sleeping :\ (joking :P )

[KeeperEUSC]

It looks as though this contest has been abandoned.

Shame really, I had a fun time.

[Shuko]

Yeah... me too. -_-; I dunno. It's funny though; since they never did announce an ending date for this. I'm going to PM Tetsuya-san about it. Maybe he can shed some light on things a bit...

[PoKeSaFaRi]

Well i think this contest is really original. I'd had liked to listen some more singing from the people who couldn't submit R2, but anyways, good luck everyone =)

[Hiroshi Sotomura]

Only 22 votes, unfortunately. Not enough to work this competition since people are pretty much not voting. I dunno WHAT to do.

[PoKeSaFaRi]

Maybe a Poll could stuck on another topic could work.

[Shuko]

Okay then. Starting tomorrow, I'll vote for my favorite once a day. =3 If the rest of you guys want your favorites to make it to the next round, you should do the same! >=3

In fact... I might just alternate between my most favorite, and some others that I thought did really well... that might normalize things a little better... but you guys vote the way you want to, lol! :D

[Alexis9000]

Well, we have to do somethin'

[Yunalesca]

er by pm? O.o *dies* next time i need to read >>

[Eliana]

...XD So it's been a month and still nothing? what's up...?

[Yunalesca]

Well i did vote O.o Shouldnt they start talling?

[Sorairo]

So did I...I think their lazy! lol jk, itll happen whan it happens i guess

[KeeperEUSC]

To all my fans, I'm actually working on a webpage, voice much improved, and will be hott most def.

[Alexis9000]

Alright! Then can u please give me the link of the webpage(in your signature of course) when you finish working? Thanx. ^^

[mvtm]

hey guys i am here , whats new?? this has years, i mean really please. announce a winner or something . I am afraid if we continue to do Rounds we wont end anyway near.

[KeeperEUSC]

Yeah, someday I'll get a link out.
My forums, Sports Center, will probably be the first to have it up.

[Alexis9000]

Thanx k u then, KeeperESC!

P.S: I wanted to vote, but I just can't find the person with that Singing Contest name!

[Hiroshi Sotomura]

I just wish the votes weren't sitting at 26. o.o;

God, this is ridiculous. Alright then, you guys can vote. End the contest now and submit the competitor's entries, or make a public poll let alone the fact you see everyone's results. O_o;

[mvtm]

tetsuya? do you mean ..that now i can put the name of the person here, which i think it deserves my vote? just to make sure.^^

[KeeperEUSC]

Let's just make a bloody forum poll, who cares who votes for who. We all did it for the fun, not the recognition anyway.

[mvtm]

*waves* come on , guys show us support ,dont abandone this thread!!...for me is fine ..i just wish we could have results

[Mewgirl01]

I will If I can be vice president.

Yes=Sure I'll vote for you
no=sniff.... :( :'(

[Alexis9000]

I guess this contest is already finished -_- :(

[Eliana]

Agreed....but we're all winners anyways ^_^

[Thomas-san]

Can't Tetsuya-san just tell us the winners from the votes that were sent in?????

[mvtm]

yeah.. i like that idea, just to know how we did.

[Alexis9000]

Eliana: Agreed....but we're all winners anyways ^_^




I also agree with u Eliana, well said! :)

[Shuko]

Can't Tetsuya-san just tell us the winners from the votes that were sent in?????
I think the problem is that with so few votes, too many people are tied for them to decide on a winner. :( Anyway, I think the only way we can settle this is by submitting our votes here. If I were to create a poll and direct people to it, there'd be the possibility of people voting for themselves, and that would be really sad. :(

If that's how it will be, then I'll start by saying I vote for Thomas-san.

If anyone else would like to follow suit, feel free to do so. :) Vote for your favorite, in whichever way you choose, whether it be through PM, or by posting here, or whatever. But keep in mind that our rule about not voting for yourself won't work for polls, so we'll have to limit ourselves to just the first two options. Oh, and maybe we should only vote once. ^_~

[Thomas-san]

Yeah only one vote...
Well yeah we can just say who we vote for...

I vote for Shuko

[mvtm]

I vote for Baby Azurril ^^

[pokemon101]

hi all ! i can't hear so i don't vote for who. ok? hiiihi

[pokemon101]

i decide to vote for KeeperEUSC. i like this song! ( who delete my answer? what reason? i don't know why?)

[pokemon101]

sorry! noone delete my answer ! sorry

[Eliana]

...o.O; You just triple posted...don't do that o_o;;;

Anyways....I'd have to say P.K Hammer
...XD Omg you know what would be funny? If we all voted for someone else XDXDXD

[[sugarPUNK!]]

YAY! I got a vote! Thanks Eli! =D

I'm really really...stuck between two entries. Thomas and Eli, you both are amazing singers. You really are. But, I think I'm going to have to go with Eliana. Sorry Thomas, you were great, it was just really hard to choose.

[Eliana]

Awww thanks PK! ^_^ We seriously did vote for every other person...lol

[Thomas-san]

Hey, I think after this whole thing is over we need to make a singing thread in other chat...

[RyukoArabne]

I'm am glad if i can see the results...

[Thomas-san]

Well I have been trying to contatct Tetsuya-san but he disabled PM's I think we wnat to know who won...even if it was only like 30 votes...

[Shana]

I'm voting for P.K. Hammer. You rock, John. I'm not just saying that...you deserve this vote.

[Eliana]

Apparantly the contest has been cancelled...Jake said that in OC...

[Thomas-san]

That friggin sucks!!! But I still think we should make a singing thread or something in Other Chat...

[RyukoArabne]

Emm...about the voting...Can we see the results?Emm..Its just...I CANT WAIT!!!
