RRRR Muddled Maxims voting thread *closed, finally*

It's time to vote in the RRRR Muddled Maxims contest. 

Anyone can vote, not only those participating in the actual contest. You can vote for any entries except for you own entries, and we vote in two categories, Best and Funniest. Best is more of a traditional render contest voting where funniest more takes the humorous look at the image. Some images have a few lines of text explaining the story behind them, which often helps the voting, specially in the funniest category.  Each win (1st to 3rd place) will also give the winner at least one sticky Lucky Bastard pull, which means the next round will be a little harder, see below for how wins and Lucky Bastards are counted. We have changed the dropoff of Lucky Bastards so you will loose at half of Lucky Bastard earned the previous round, and set a maximum of seven LBs affecting your pull, if you have more, you will just pull seven a little longer.

Vote here: RRRR Voting 
Entries are here: RRRR - Muddled Maxims Entries only thread

So, what are we voting about?

Winner in the Best category
- $10 DAZ GC
- 1 item from Dumor3D's store (no DOs or Bundles)

Winner in the Funniest category
- $10 DAZ GC
- 1 item from Totte's (Code 66)'s store (no DOs or Bundles)

2nd in the Best category
- $7 DAZ GC
- 1 item from Dumor3D's store (no DOs or Bundles)

2nd in the Funniest category
- $7 DAZ GC
- 1 item from Totte's (Code 66)'s store (no DOs or Bundles)

Third in each category
- $5 DAZ GC

The voting starts now, and ends Sunday December 23,  2018 - at 23:59:59 local DAZ Time

How votes are tallied and summed up:

Voting points: 1st = 5 points, 2nd = 4 points, 3rd = 3 Points, 4th = 2 Points and Tiebreaker = 1 Point.

If an image gets 1st, two 2nd, one 4th and two tiebreakers in a category, that is 5 + 2x4 + 2 + 2x1 = 17 Points

Every image points per category is summed up, and top three is calcutaled in each category. As we now have five prizes, a maximum of two entries from the same artist can end up top three in each category, this is to spead the joy a little more. 

The image with most points from the same artist will be the base, the the average score for up to for other images will be added to that score, but if that image takes a top three placement, images who got to the cream of the crop with help from other entires, will gain extra LBs based on how many places it climbed, minus one. Here are two examples:

Example 1: The top image from X has 15 points. X also has five other images that has been voted for, 10, 8, 7, 7 & 5 points. Thaking the average of the first four images behind the top one is 10+8+7+7 = 8, so the first image which was at 4th place, now gets 23 points and rises to the top and becomes the winner. But, that image climbed 3 steps, so it will not only win, but give the winner 3 LB for the next run. 

Example 2: The top image by Y has 11 points, and the second image 9 points. The top image will now have 20 points and go from 5th place to 3rd place, granting Y 2 LB for the next run.

If two images ends up with the same score, we use the same rules as in the European Song Contest, the number of higher scores wins over many lower scores, so if one image has 5+5+5+1 (16) and another has 2+2+4+4+2 (16) the first one will come before.

To avoid votespamming, anyone voting needs to post here in this thead that they did vote, and use the same name as they have posting here as the DAZ Forum name in the first question in the vote system at SurveyMonkey.

Remember to vote in both categories and place all five votes in both categories. Votes that fail to vote in both categories and votes faling to vote 2nd to 5th place will be discarded.

    Lots of fun looking at them, but once again-- both humor & technical side-- tie scores.  They were settled by a random app.  Lucky B’s.  :)

    Best wishes, everyone blew it away this time!

    Of course you can!

  • TynkereTynkere Posts: 834

    Shameless bump to keep the topic on page one.  Hopefully more people will vote.  It's a fun contest!  :)

  • TotteTotte Posts: 13,979

    I think we're at minimum votes now, but as we moved today and most of my machines are still not moved, unpacked or setup (need to move mail/web/DNS tomorrow, that will not be fun as I've had the same IP address range since 2002.

    So tally will happen when life stops being like this 80s one hit wonder.

    So could be a while yet huh?

  • luci45luci45 Posts: 2,762

    You have my sympathies, Totte. Moving hurts. Nice video. laugh

  • TotteTotte Posts: 13,979

    Thanks folks!
    Hopefully not too long as I need to work soon and get my office up in running state in a not too distant time.

    But this mess have giving me an idea for the next round "What can go wrong while moving?"

    Am glad enough votes & presumably another round.  Didn’t seem like we had as many people play this time.  People moving?  Holidays?

    Enjoyed blast from the past.  “Living in a box” could be fun RRRR theme too! 

    Best wishes in getting settled in.

    I really like the idea of your theme @Totte "What can go wrong while moving"!!
