[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!

What about we give it to the person whose entry was so crappy, it wasn't even listed in the OP? /s
nah let's give it to the magstaff

dem graphs
Those are impressive graphs, props to you for making them!

While the repeating sequence is odd, I think it's merely pure luck in the way that it lines up. Of course, it's wise to be wary after what blatantly happened before, but I don't think there's any wrongdoing this time.

I only made the second set of graphs because @LittleFlame asked me to.

The original graphs I've been updating all along (since like vote 20) just to get a look at how the competition was evolving.

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.

No the corruption got eliminated by staff I don't get what the deal is

[Slightly ranty situation below]

TheVinAnator and x65943 are most probably not cheating and both of them are on top for their incredible submissions. I may not know either of them personally, but they both seem like swell characters and what's more they're both great artists. Both of their submissions are far better than mine, as are a lot of the other submissions here. Personally, I'm just happy to be in 10th (ish) place. Both of them have my full support and while I didn't vote for their videos for tactical reasons, they we're initially my top 2. Good luck to both of you.:D:switch:

Kinda thought that would happen, disappointing to hear even more people were caught cheating. (I hope the cheaters are removed from the staff vote too)

It's not just him, there are other suspicions as well, some people have come to me with screenshots of vote begging messages being sent via other means. But it isn't necessary to name names now since the public vote has been annulled.

So sad that its come to this :(

I think the decision is fair enough but can we really trust the mods to have a fair vote?!?

just kidding :)

merry tempmas to all

Yeah, well, obviously I'll vote for me. (Nah, just joking. I didn't even have a contribution. I was going to, but stuff happened, I became a mod, and some other things played a part in that.)

In all seriousness, I even re-watched every contribution a second time to make sure every entry had an equal shot to win me over.

Woah this isnt like the tempmas at all! cmon guys, you have shelter, family, friends. Water is a walk away and food in in the fridge. Sure a switch would be a great bonus, but everything happens for a reason and plus gbatemp is just trying to be nice.
Maybe not everyone has all that, but yeah, a switch is kinda not worth getting banned from gbatemp over.

Next time do a blind vote, maybe someone can collate all the videos into one long video (so viewers don't have to keep clicking each one) and each video gets a number and voters don't get to see who they're voting for; sure it's not perfect but it's remove some voter bias

Or be like previous tempmas and have no public vote

Not much food in my fridge. My parents won't take me to WalMart.
I mean, who cares if it's freezing? I'm sure WalMart has a heater.
