redface 1 Posted December 27, 2004 I'm eager to see how much debate the evaluation of these precious missions is going to stir, even though my mission didn't make it to the final 10. Please let us not make it a simple forum poll. I think votes should be accompanied by a minimum of motivation at least. This way we avoid that simply people with a large backbench take the prize, or even worse, that the outcome of this event turns into a clan, website community or even nationality type of thing. Or am I simply being too idealist about this? I have played some missions so far, I am planning to post my (re)views as soon as I have finished them all.

Silver Falcon 0 Posted December 27, 2004 I think it cant stop this kind of problems, but at least minimize it a bit. Its a real problem of public votes, so this prize will be minor I guess (to the main prize). I hope such problems will be at least minor Let the best win. I´m looking forward for your reviews. BTW some missions are long and rather hard. Now i guess I know why the judging took so much time  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted December 28, 2004 Please let us not make it a simple forum poll. I think votes should be accompanied by a minimum of motivation at least.

Or am I simply being too idealist about this? It's not really practical to make it a poll & comment, however there is this thread and the thread in user missions, feel free to comment all you like The missions remain anonymous so they should be judged on their merits, more than that is not possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 28, 2004 Regardless of who wins, those are 10 excellent missions...easily some of the best to ever be made for OFP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted December 28, 2004 It's good to hear that the 10 misisons chosen by the judges are being received well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwg_viper 0 Posted December 28, 2004 Can we see the results for missions not in the top 10 pls, i'm assuming u have some kind of document with all the scores in as theres too many to remember. So can u edit it for public and post for us pls m8? I'm sure others are just as curious what there mission got. also i have a fixed addon pack where u will get no addon error, and i have made swordfish to work with winter nogojev as there was no way i was putting them old addon back in, i didnt even open it in the editor dont worry i just edited addon bit of sqm, and end of folder name cain_snow to kegnoecain_snow, ok i will post fixed addon pack and mission l8r if that is ok?

Silver Falcon 0 Posted December 28, 2004 I guess some scores, credits and so on will be released just after the public vote. BIS rather want all of us to vote just our mind and not to influence the voting process by publishing the scores by judges or identifing the finalists (persons I mean). Edit: Quote[/b] ]I dont want to see the scores of the 10 finalist! Ouch I am  sorry gwg viper  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winters 1 Posted December 28, 2004 We judges don't even know who the authors are. The missions were assigned numbers and we referred to them by that number or just by the name of the mission. This was to prevent anyone from saying to himself: "Hey i know that guy, he is a good friend, i will give him the highest marks" not that any of us would have done that anyway. Only the mighty Placebo knows the identities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BIS rather want all of us to vote just our mind and not to influence the voting process by publishing the scores by judges or identifing the finalists (persons I mean). I dont want to see the scores of the 10 finalist! (It wont be hard to leave them out of the document, so it wont affect any voting) as quoted in 1st line of my post! Quote[/b] ]Can we see the results for missions not in the top 10 pls I want to see the scores/comments/bad points/good points of all the other missions that didnt make it into final 10. And i dont want the Authors names to be on this list just the mission names, of all but the final 10, that way we know which mission we made, but even so it wouldnt be too bad to see the names of all who made the effort and entered a mission, but didnt make it into the final 10. Â Hope that clarifies it for u m8, and next time read carefully or re-read before u reply, as it saves lots of typing and posts. p.s. I cannot think of any reasons why they should not show us, only reasons why they should, that is why i have asked! Â p.p.s. For my own peace of mind the sooner the better, I have many worries/problems/bugs/rules broken, regarding the final 10, so i would like to see the scoring before I comment anymore.

Placebo 29 Posted December 29, 2004 No further information of any kind will be released to the public until the competition is over. However as I've already done with a couple of people I'm happy to give feedback in private to anyone who wants to know how there mission did, on the proviso that the information goes no further.

MEDICUS 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Hmmm, it's possible to vote again after the IP changed. Isn't there a way to avoid this? I don't know if people will vote several times, but for 500$ ... Why not opening a poll here in the forum? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raedor 8 Posted January 7, 2005 thx medi for copying my post from mapfact in here... erm, mean: yes, medicus is right, we should do it with a poll in a thread located in this forum. i know, you'll say now: "but people can make multiple accounts"... but i think a mod can check if all "new" accounts vote for one person... am i right?

pitufo 0 Posted January 8, 2005 *just a bump* I wanna know if this is the same mission I played a long time ago or if it's been updated... I can't download from the link provided in the MEC.htm list. Please give me a link. Thx again.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raedor 8 Posted January 9, 2005 @pitufo: check your PM. is there a chance that we get an official statement for that or do we have to wait for placebo's comeback? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sanctuary 19 Posted January 9, 2005 I agree, the IP-related vote is not the best choice, as several country and kind of connection have a new IP after reconnecting. I would love to see everyone being mature, fair and honest so this vote will not be abused. But unfortunately it is not the case on the internet and so the risk of abuse is high (especially when there is a material and not "spiritual" prize at the end).

Placebo 29 Posted January 17, 2005 I don't know if people will vote several times, but for 500$ ... As the public vote isn't for the main prize and has never been for the main prize I don't think there's a need to worry too much The main prize of VBS1 will be decided in private by the group of finalist judges. http://www.bistudio.com/me_comp/mec_2004_rules.html Quote[/b] ]The final stage will see 10 missions make it through; they will at this point all have won a signed T-shirt and signed "OFP Bestseller" edition. We will make the 10 finalists public and available for download, there will also be a public vote for the most popular mission with a separate prize awarded. The main prize will then be decided by a final round of judging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
