RRRR Stupid is as stupid does - Voting Thread

Totte · October 2015

It's time to browse the RRRR Stupid is as stupid does entries thread, spit beverage on your screen in a laugh attack and also cast some votes.

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 a sticky Lucky Bastard pull, which means the next round will be a little harder.

So, what are we voting about?
What are the prizes?

Winners in each category:
- One item from the Dumor3D store.
-- $40 DAZ Store GC

Second place in each category:
- KB-HDR Lights Vol 1 (for Iray) donated by Karibou
-- $30 DAZ Store GC

Third place in each category:
- One item from Totte’s store (not the Code 66 store here at DAZ, not this round anyway, for those who have figured that one out).
-- $20 DAZ Store GC

4th place (Honorable mention 1):
-- $10 DAZ Store GC

5th place Honorable mention 2):
-- $5 DAZ Store GC

The voting starts now, and ends Sunday, October 25 at 23:59:59 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. If two images ends up with the same score, we use the same rules as in the European Song Contest, the number of highter 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.

Karibou · October 2015

I've voted! And, while I didn't have time to enter this month, voting just proves to me that viewing everyone else's entries is more fun than making my own most of the time!

Totte · October 2015

Finally voted - was raelly really tough!

kyoto kid · October 2015

...still need to vote as well. Gonna probably take a long time as well as once again there were so many excellent submissions.

Glad I made it in to vote! Got distracted and missed all the action unfolding, let alone getting that second image done. I agree, it was really hard to pick. For the funnies I had to narrow it down by choosing images that were amusing in and of themselves and didn't rely on the descriptions so much. Even then...

This is a great community event. My thanks to Totte and the sponsors. Congratulations to everyone that got renders done and submitted. Good luck :) Hope to see lots more of this goofy fun.

I finally voted. This was a fun subject and I wish I had been able to finish mine but it was a lot of fun going through everyone's entries! Good luck to everyone and thanks again for running this madness, Totte! :)

Almosted missed this! Voting was harder than setting up a scene, but I did it. So many great images. This was a lot of fun, I wish I had done more. Totte deserves a standing ovation - ok, did you feel that? I was standing for a bit there, ovating, er, clapping. The sponsors too!
