My laws of physics-defying Domination entry.

[Changed to plus-only. ~Violet]

Dude....Im so sorry. I was test running these at 11:00pm last night and I definitely remember looking at yours and thinking "My physics-defying entry"....what gametype is this....

Evidently I just can't read properly when I'm tired.... I fixed it up top.

Wait, I just realized that you said 4 votes in this thread and 5 in the old one. I voted for 5 of them, so ignore the 5th when the votes are counted.

Yeah... I decided each person voting for half might be a little much, so i lowered it to 4.

Wanted to ask if DJazz entered? I was planning on voting for his level... But I guess I don't see it on the list... To my recollection it was complete though? I guess DJ isn't entering, so I guess I'll post my votes here. In case of him entering, shift all my votes down from 2nd downwards and put him 2nd!

[plunK]

Not to discredit any legitimate people here, but Afiiko:

General Information
Last Activity: February 16th, 2012 07:30 AM
Join Date: February 16th, 2012

and when you click "Find All Posts" this is the only one.
i:m your join date is February 2nd (still only 2 weeks ago), and your votes came in > 1 min apart from Afiiko. And this is ALSO your only post on j2o.

I find that slightly on the suspicious side. Just Saying.

[Lithium]

He's an active JJ2 player, though he maybe registered here just to vote.

Also i:m = moti. Another active JJ2 player (and a jj.net mod!).

[Toni_]

Afiiko is indeed an active player. He plays this actively for years.

moti (i:m) is another active player. This isn't suspicious.

As I said, you should be more active in JJ2, so you could meet these people in JJ2.

[Lithium]

Alright, time for my votes!


Flood Control - The best level submitted for this contest in my opinion. Deserves to win.

Stone Age - A fine level, I like it.

Anemoi - Looks great!

Heat Shrine - Sorry, guys. I might not deserve to win with this level, but I really need the reward. The rules do not say I can't vote for myself, but if plunK changes them, disregard this vote.

Okay, thanks for letting me know that. The JCF join dates were very recent and as you said, I havent been playing JJ2 online much lately so I thought I better check. Seeing as I am dishing out some money for this, I dont mind being a little paranoid. Also, voting closes in 24 hours for anyone else still out there.

[Toni_]

Well, you had a reason to be paranoid!

[Toni_]

Shall an admin undelete deleted posts, so we can know who wins this?

[Torkell]

Shall an admin undelete deleted posts, so we can know who wins this?

Done.

[Toni_]

Okay, I made calculations. If the vote is placed first, it gets 4 points. If 2nd, 3 points. If 3rd, 2 points and if 4th 1 point. 5th vote didn't count.

Dungeon Paradise 2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4 = 26
Flood Control 2, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 4 = 23
Idiotically Designed City 4, 4, 2, 4, 1, 1, 4, 2 = 22
Gravity is Overrated 3, 1, 3, 2, 2, 4, 4 = 19
Rotate 180 Degrees 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2 = 14
Anemoi 3, 2, 1, 1, 3, 2 = 12
Heat Shrine 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1 = 12
Stone Age 3, 3 = 6
The Collaboration 1, 1 = 2
Slippery Grass 2 = 2

Congratz.

By the way, plunK can do his calculating. Maybe it's different.

Yeah, I did calculate it a more statisticsy way, but I came out to very similar results.

Congradulations to our prizewinners:
Toni_ $40 in steam Games
Ragnarok! $10 in Steam Games
Ktos. $10 in Steam Games

I feel that Rag and Ktos. deserve a bit of something for their runner up work. 10$ isn't alot, but Steam has alot of deals so I'm sure you can find something.
You guys can PM me your steam name, or if you dont have one we can try and work something out. You guys have 1 year to redeem your prize, so if something you want you think might be on sale later in the year (eg summer, Christmas, Black Friday) let me know anytime.

[Toni_]

Great!

[Troglobite]

Congrats everyone.

[Obi1mcd]

Congratulations, guys, enjoy your games! Thanks for making the contest, plunK, it's nice to have one every now and then.

[Ktos.]

Ok, that might be paranoid from me this time, but are you really sure that that "Ricky" is Riccardo? This one looks strange enough for me, not the join date but the amount of all his posts.

[Toni_]

Yes, I am.

[Ktos.]

Ok now, whoever negrepped me for my previous post - actually making "Rickys" vote canceled in case of fake wouldn't make me win this, just to explain some "you lost, agree with that" bs. And how can you be sure?

[Toni_]

Who else could it be?

[Ktos.]

I just want to be sure that its really Riccardo, and I dont really think so. http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/member.php?u=5481 this and that "Ricky's" account is the first thing. Just take a look at the date when Ricky joined and when Ric was active last time. Why would someone make another account if he was still using the old one?

Why he haven't even logged in after voting? That's even more strange, I can understand that he doesn't have to but who isn't interested in results after voting(Last Activity: February 16th, 2012 02:05 PM)? That doesn't seem right to me.

I want to make sure that it's not a fake account created for occasions like this one.

There is some evidence both for and against this being Riccardo, but really it doesn't matter in the scheme of the competition.

When I did my score calculations I ran several scenarios through my formulas. Removing his votes was one and it did't affect the outcome of the competition. Ther score spread if I change that data is:

1st! Dungeon Paradise by Toni_ 234.0
2nd! Flood Control by Ragnarok! 226.25
3rd! Idiotically Designed City by Ktos. 223.25
Gravity is Overrated by cooba 178.25
Rotate 180 Degrees by Obi1mcd 111.25
Heat Shrine by Ron97 098.625
AnemoiA & Anemoi B by Rabid Rabb 069.625
Stone Age by Toni_ 055.25
The Collaboration by Sean 019.25
Slippery Grass by Toni_ 019.25

It is a closer finish but the ordering is the same. If any of my scenarios had resulted in a change in any of the top 4 places then I would have brought up a bigger investigation, but because the results don't change It isnt a big concern to me.

[Toni_]

Well, his contest, his wishes. I think that Toni wins because he got more first nominated places.

[Ricky]

Cooba, I'm Riccardo and this is my account at the moment. I had another one but I changed email so I couldn't retrieve password...that's it.

Btw, it would be nice if someone would change the email of the account "Ric" to my actual one in order to avoid other misunderstandings. (riccardotjw@gmail.com)

[Ric]

Never mind, I found the password.

[Ragnarok!]

This really turned out to be a contest of who had more friends on JJ2.

How many of you voters actually played my level? Ric, Afii, Anubis, did you even know my level was a race? No. But whatever. I'm not bitter, I only wanted to compete. Next time I'll pull some bullshit where I get my friends to vote for me and only me too.

No offense Toni but you didn't deserve to win. Negrep me, I dare you.

I did, and I voted for you. Sadly I didn't ask my friends or clan members to vote for me.

Have you checked your own votes or your clanmates votes? Weird votes are easy to see. Afii was even more lol voting for his own nation only. O+
No offense either, but what you said happened to others happened to you as well.

IMO it is the number #3 and #4 votes which were usually the votes meant for the best levels. The number #1 and #2 votes were friendship votes in most cases. I think only a few (maybe 3) players really voted neutrally looking at the votes. That is quite sad imo.

[Ktos.]

At the next contest I want to see a rule that says: "Describe in 300 words why do you vote for those levels and compare it to the others". Just to make sure everyone played all of them.

Edit:Have you checked your own votes or your clanmates votes? Weird votes are easy to see. Afii was even more lol voting for his own nation only.
No offense either, but what you said happened to others happened to you as well.

Lol, didn't he say that he just wanted to compete? That probably means he also doesn't appreciate what they have done with that voting too, IF their votes weren't really based mostly because it was Rag. Because to be honest, I also don't think that Toni deserves to win. Thats funny how noone has even noticed that his level contains a serious eyecandy tilebug(lava waterfalls for layer 5 were on layer3, can't prove it now because j2o doesn't work for me and I'm not sure how the level is called).

Why won't we just create a competition for no real prize and convince everyone to vote for us? We will see who wins every competition then if there will be another soon. The only person I asked to vote was Galana, and she said that she would vote for me anyway, probably voting for myself was just too egoistic, but whatever, it doesn't matter if one of the competitors asks everyone to vote for him. Still im surprised I wasn't negrepped that much.
Edit:

[Vegito]

It's not like I disagree on what you say.. I just figured I'd show both sides of the story. Anyway, a "fair" voting will only be done if you get let's say 100 players voting. Friendship-votes won't count as much anymore and you'll get more neutral votes then :)

[Ric]

Rag I actually voted for CTF levels, I don't like race or domination levels that much.
