[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!

We can bash the admins all we want, and blame them for this, but in reality it is our fault things turned out this way.
Yes, people are biased towards themselves. But to be honest, I think they were right in thinking that, even though we can vote ourselves up(what, 5 points max?), the true winner would rise up and such points would be negligible. This even seemed to be the case! The difference amongst most of the top 5 was much more than that; it did not matter.
The real issue, or rather what we made the issue, was our own misdeeds and fraud we ourselves committed in a greedy grab at the prize. Should the admins have anticipated this? Maybe they did, but rather put their trust and faith in us, the community, to make the right decision. And what did we do?
We took advantage of the chance and fought over this as children. We unfortunately proved to them we cannot be trusted, which is fine, but not their fault.
So we need to accept responsibility for what we have done. And I myself apologize for my own behavior not being the best either.
What ever you guys choose, I'm fine with! I'm just so sorry it came to this.

I share the same opinion. We have what we build.

That's all wrong man in my opinion! Why do people have to fu*k up such a great competition by the staff and do this sort of s*it just because of the prize at stack!

Pretty much some guy rigged the vote. And apparently Costello has other suspicions too. Put this all together and the mods thought the public just shouldn't vote, they lost trust in us. So now only people on staff will be able to vote for the best video. Obviously staff would be legitimate so uh, yeah.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
