May Challenge Voting

[Midgardsormr]

I didn't notice anyone holding back tips or suggestions this time around. I know I did my best to offer whatever meager knowledge I had to share. And one reason I like that people post the reasons for their votes here is because you often get to see who is running close behind in the voters' minds. So even though some very good maps may not have votes, or very many votes, seeing your name appear in the thread as a second or third choice still generates some "warm fuzzies."

I want to say, I am not accusing anyone of 'holding back secrets'. I am just saying I was frustrated (at myself) because I could not figure out why I could not get the same levek of detail And in I followed ALL the tips given, yet....

So, Understand, I am not sitting around plotting the downfall of my brethren, nor am I striking you from my will

I think we can all agree that this months contest was fun and educational. Heck, I didn't even think it was possible so as a result it challenged me and as another result, I am far more active over here now and plan on sticking around. The point being is that this contest got new people here and allowed us to learn a heck of a lot. That alone made this months challenge every bit worth it in the end.

So my hat goes off to those who have put it together.

We could make the voting "multi selection" rather than single selection. This would allow multiple votes to be cast, but only one per entry. The potential here is that members 'might' vote for all entries and that could lead to a higher potential for ties. Not sure though.

You've got an amazing place and group of people built around a shared interest- a hard combination to achieve.

Yes it is a little discouraging, but certainly not if this is a common voting pattern, and most certainly not when I bring up my map and consider what I've learned.

So, great job all around - and if there are perhaps a tweak or two to be discovered along the way, so much the better. Here's hoping that no black riders visit you at the inn.

We have Arcana Butterbur to deal with those Black Riders! Touch wood, none yet!

I would prefer to nominate my favourite 3 maps.

I will definitely keep this in mind for next month's challenge and if the others agree we can give it a test drive and see what happens.

nVotes = ((nEntryCount + 9) / 10); //

Oh and one other crazy thought - what about a VTT/WiP forum? One of the reasons I took the plunge this month is the particular subject really interests me. I know I want to work more this kind of thing.
