It's almost like you have to watch other videos in order to choose the best one. How absurd.

@Pecrow Why even wasted your time in making such awesome video for nothing. Don't even participate for them. Save your time for good. I'm still with you. My vote is for you even they don't accept it.

I am very worried about the validity of some of these votes... and not just the Pecrow stuff, either.
I've heard some users claim it's just a popularity contest,

AlanJohn said:
I wont say any names, but it baffles me how one specific entry got so many votes. Wouldn't say any fraud is happening, but somebody is definitely getting points just because of his/hers "popularity".

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and I hope I don't offend the two people in the lead, @TheVinAnator and @x65943 by saying this, but they are more quiet members of GBAtemp. Certainly good members, but I would not say they've made it to the level where every regular probably knows them. (Aka like Dinoh, Foxi, Vinscool, etc) So I don't think this is a popularity contest at all. Everyone who's made it this far has done so because their entries are genuinely good.

Of course, due to the recent solicitation, the votes have gotten a bit jumbled and hard to keep track of, but doing a re-vote would just mix everything up, and cause more effort than it's worth. Of course...the people who voted for people without any entries to begin with..those votes should be null, as they're just a bit too fishy.

That's the way!

They are going to just have to make a poll in the end or else the votes are going to get confusing

Might just be me, but I definitely do think somebody (not naming names) definitely has the advantage over the others.

But you can literally just count them it's not hard or they would have done a poll from the beginning. You also can't give seperate points.

I think the rules shouldn't be changed because rules need to be firm. But perhaps for next tempmas The mods should pick the best 6 or 7 videos and allow the community to vote on those.

You can't expect everyone to watch 35 1 minute videos.

Outside of the current top 3? Maybe? Vinanator, Alanjohn and X65 all seem to have fantastic projects though, so I can't see them having an unfair advantage.

Just because your favorite entry isn't winning, that doesn't mean there has to be voting fraud involved.

Imo to avoid this sort of situation again I guess only a few select members/staff should be allowed to vote.

But that goes against the whole sport of it. What the ideal here is, is that everyone gets to participate, and it's not locked down to those in high places. Something will probably have to be thought up for next year...but removing the average user from voting seems kinda...sad.

It seemed as though that was going to be the original plan, from what was said in the comp rules post.
Ah well. Even if that had been the case I imagine many would still have complained that they had no say in the matter.
I believe the meme to use here goes something along the lines of "haters gonna hate"?
