[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!

This is getting to be a really tight competition! .-.
Is that a joke :P

TheVinAnator is 1st ahead of 2nd by 24 points
x65943 is 2nd ahead of 3rd by 22 points
AlanJohn is 3rd ahead of 4th by 16 points

Those are pretty large margins, not to mention TheVinAnator has been winning for like the past ~30 votes.

Dang, those are some leads there. There goes the rest of us! #ggnoregrets!
Those guys definitely worked hard. They deserve this!

Also, not trying to be harsh, but, uh, would someone please capitalize my name right? I know I'm not popular, but come on! :rofl2:

Also, also, it sure is sad what happened with Pecrow. Well, human nature at it's finest I guess! I understand why he did it, but committing a a wrong to correct another wrong doesn't justify the means. Thanks, Costello and your band of admins, for bringing down the law for us.

I didn't mean it like that, I should have put competitive, I meant how much drama is happening. :P

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, and with people randomly voting for people without a video (cough vinscool cough) or not knowing videos were even involved...
And who's to say vote begging didn't occur outside of the Temp, for example, via PMs on Discord?

I guess people will do anything for a free Nintendo Switch. What about the holiday spirit?

Welp there's still time left I assume. You never know what can happen. Hopefully the people who didn't read revoted properly is all I can say.

Holiday spirit?
Well, such internal motivation doesn't come from just anywhere!
I too wish people were more perfect, but alas, due to humanity's current situation since Adam, there's not much we can do.
However, we can all still come to God and accept His salvation! Then we may depend on Him for guidance and such things.
That's all I have to say on that subject ;]

As for the illegitimacy of the whole thing, we can all complain all we want and hope the admins do something, but at the same time we ourselves are to blame due to the nature of the ballot vote we ourselves instituted to conduct this competition under. If you voted, that's awesome, and I thank you for your participation! If not, I implore you voice an honest, educated opinion on the matter. For those of us in the latter category, all we can really do at this point is pray the outcome is just what is needed.
And on that point, as I have said many times already, good luck everyone!

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".

Anyways, here are my votes:
  1. AlanJohn (No surprise here)
  2. Frogboy (I respect anyone else making a live action entry)
  3. Varon12 (Really liked the music in your entry)
  4. Akira (Most professional animated one)
  5. Retinal_FAILURE (At least your username fits your entry!)

Its kinda hard to keep track of this point system with the drama that occurred maybe a revote would be helpful to sort it all out.
@Costello seemed to imply that since Pecrow is no longer in the running, the votes of people who voted for him are still valid for the other participants.
Justinde75: Costello I got a dm from pecrow too, but I voted before I got the message, is my vote still valid?
Costello: it doesn't matter anymore

I have a tally of all the votes with this interpretation of his statement.
Unofficial tally of scores: http://pastebin.com/f5rxtsAk last updated JAN 5 6:57PM UTC
Graph version http://i.imgur.com/o33geJt.png

But even if the votes for Pecrow in first were dropped, it wouldn't change much because the other votes were mostly at random (As per Pecrow's request)
