Ya, they work for me now. Not helping me pick!
yeah this sounds good. You post a MOC and its your entry. No other posts of images (alternate models etc) allowed. Photography assignment is a good model to follow really.
Anyway, great turnout for the first one. Looking forward to an excuse to buy the prehistoric set (or the robot one with light brick?)

from the voting thread
it is roughly 2 in total from the 16. to the end of the month.
and in the voting thread the creators are no longer named as voting should be done by the merits of the model, not by someones feelings towards a certain creator.

as has been pointed out the entries are sorted alphabetically by creator.

Waiting till the last minute to vote didn't do any good, because I've been so busy this month. I had made 6 picks when voting opened and then just ranked them quickly tonight. I'm exhausted from work and was just worried I would forget to vote. Not the best mentally right now, but oh well.
Some explanation:
First off it was ridiculously hard to just pick 6. Everyone did a great job.
I valued making something different from a vehicle, although there were lots of great cars and space ships. The Easel, Living Room, and TV system got my votes because visually they were nothing like the official builds. Mecha Robot was great because it has personality. Battlestar G got a vote because it was a scene from the show. I thought that was inspired.
It's ironic then that my #1 was something with 4 wheels used as wheels. But the lawnmower was just so beautifully designed. I just love looking at it.

I thought 2 weeks for voting is a fair amount of time.
and we "only" have 30 votes in so far...
so if you haven't voted yet do it, do it, do it voting ends sunday lunchtime CEST
on sunday the results will be announced and the new contest will start.
I don't know. The voting thread has been quiet the past five days.
Plus, I agree that the entries should be sorted by post number. I mean, why sort them by user name when the only reference to the entries in the voting thread are the post numbers? It makes referring to the entries while looking at people's voting ballots a lot harder than it should be.

well in the voting thread in only refer to the numbers because the votes should be cast on merit of model not on preference of this or the other poster.
The reason I sorted the entries by name rather then number is to not give the first entries an unfair advantage by being first in the list.
- probably not necessary, could be changed easily enough.

Yeah, I do agree that omitting the poster's name in the voting thread is a good idea.
Anyway, another feedback I have is that while the voting thread has generally been put together very nicely with the thumbnails and all, I think it would probably have been easier for voters if the full size pictures were placed in that thread directly and sorted by post numbers. I don't think many people would have the patience to click through to more than 30 different posts to see which is best. Probably explains why there haven't been more votes in that thread.

I can see what you are getting at, but it could clutter up the thread alot...

This. It'll clutter up the OP, but opening up 40+ tabs to review and vote was messy.
anonymous_abc
Member
ok, ill keep it in mind.
Wait. You mean pictures in quotes will expand to full size if you hover over them? This doesn't seem to be the case for me. Using Firefox.

if the pictures are large enough it should work.
you might have to click them. works for me on everything but old IE

If you drag them a bit, they will stay big until you click elsewhere
...which is slightly unfortunate if you have to scroll horizontally when you enlarged an image.
Perhaps it's possible to leave the OP in the voting thread as is but increase the size of the thumbnails to... maybe 200x200 pixels, so that they become a bit more useful?
And I also think the voting period is too long. I haven't voted yet because I'd like my decision to be final when I make it. Thus I'll wait for the last moment to cast my vote. I think I might not be the only one to handle it like that. But this behavior in combination with a rather long period brings the danger of forgetting about the process entirely.

yea i was thinking of increasing the thumbnail size.
and ill keep the time frame in mind for next time.
