[UPDATED] Tempmas 2016 competition vote

merrytempmas_medium.jpg

UPDATE 07/01/2017:

After reviewing the current situation, the staff has unanimously decided to annull the public vote due to fraud and manipulation. A new staff vote will be carried out internally and released to the public after it is complete. We are disappointed at how this turned out and this will certainly limit our options in the future when it comes to public voting.

It's voting time!

Welcome back everyone, it's time to vote! I have compiled the list of entries below and watched them all as I did so, my my, I cannot believe how much work was put into this. Thanks to everyone who made references to my name in their videos but that won't get you my vote :D I am amazed at the amount of entries and the quality of them. It truly saddens me that we cannot offer gifts to each and every one of you. But sadly that's how competitions work. So let's do this!

Rules regarding voting

1) You must select 5 entries from the list below, and rank them from 1 to 5. Entry #1 will receive most points (5), entry #2 will get 4 points, entry #3 will get 3 points, entry #4 will get 2 points, entry #5 will get 1 point. An example is given in the first comment as I cast my own vote.
2) Anyone can vote. However, if you registered after the competition was announced, your vote won't be accounted for. This is intended to limit voting fraud. Hopefully this should prevent Russia from influencing the vote.
3) You can vote for your own entry. You cannot vote for an entry more than once. You must only cast one vote, with all 5 entries at once.
4) The vote will end 3 days from now, on January 6. Results will be announced shortly after.

Good luck everyone!

Selecting a random entry would make all the voting and hard work put into every video useless would it not? I feel like "Random" and "Fair" don't go well together in this situation.

im not saying its the best solution but its more fair than an entrant or possibly more than 1 entrant soliciting votes and corrupting the poll.

So you suggest getting rid of the current merit-based system that is at least intended to reward people based on the amount of effort they put in with something that completely leaves it up to random chance? Damn, should've recorded a one minute video of my ceiling fan spinning because by that logic it would be eligible to win a Switch.

after the current events that unfolded, yes. i defend a random drawing.

if the rules were a random drawing BEFORE this happened, then sure your argument holds up. argument invalid.

we all produced content based on what we thought was good. i know a random drawing will not occur but there are no arguments you can give at this point that will sway my view - this voting has been corrupted and we do not know to what level. once its corrupt, its done.

it like being called a liar - if you have NEVER told a lie, then you are not a liar. if you have told even just 1 lie in the past, you are forever a liar it cannot be reversed. no one knows how many lies you may have told, but you are still a liar if it happened 1 time although it may have happened 2, 3, 100, 4500 times.

my view of this voting is tainted for good and my faith in our members has dwindled.

Using your logic, we can accuse Vin of being a "liar", cheater, while he may have never "lied" in his life. we would be revoking his earned prize just based off of assumptions. You shouldnt profile everyone who's winning just because one person decided to cheat.

While we're at it, why don't we also assume that everyone who's ever been successful is a liar and a cheater. Because hey, corruption has tainted every society in the world. Let's have a random drawing and hand out high skill jobs to people based on luck because as you said - there is corruption and luck is the only fair way of doing things. At the end of the day, everyone works equally as hard, right?

Man I want that Switch as much as you do but I think you need to chill.

The only thing that I find a little odd is that TheVinAnator got the only vote streaks longer than two perfect 5s. And that the first one happens right after his vote, and the second one happens after I briefly reclaimed first place.

Not pointing any fingers, but it is a strange anomaly.

It's also weird that save for your vote, the streaks are identical. 555434, and then 555434. If I was a statistician maybe I'd understand the significance :P

How about we give the price to the contestant who doesn't have any votes? In that way, we can be pretty sure that no corruption/anomaly took place. lol
What about we give it to the person whose entry was so crappy, it wasn't even listed in the OP? /s

@VashTS let's be real here the only reason you want that random drawing stuff is so that you have the slightest chance of winning
Of course i want to win that is not the point - the fact remains that the vote has been corrupted.

While we're at it, why don't we also assume that everyone who's ever been successful is a liar and a cheater. Because hey, corruption has tainted every society in the world. Let's have a random drawing and hand out high skill jobs to people based on luck because as you said - there is corruption and luck is the only fair way of doing things.

i am chill, just trying to make a point. you need to chill bruh. my analogy was not even that deep, just trying to illustrate the point that once the vote is corrupt, its corrupt. you can't change what already happened. i'm doubtful of all the votes now.

your comment about the ceiling fan video would make sense if we knew it was random to begin the contest.

now hold on a second, just because people voted for him in a spree doesn't mean anything, A lot of people go back and see what the others are voting for to see what the submissions were, besides could you write up the timestamps of voting as well? @x65943
The X axis is time. I split this graph into two separate graphs to emphasize what I was talking about earlier.

This illustrates the first streak of 5s. The first 3 perfect scores happen about two minutes apart, creating a vertical line.

This is the second streak of 5s. The 3 perfect scores here happen almost exactly 1h15m apart. This occurred right before Pecrow started getting a ton of votes.

Again I'm not saying these streaks necessarily mean anything, but they are strange. Admittedly they look more strange when the x axis is #votes.

Edit: I spent way too much time making this :P
