Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

I'll support you as long as that art category is renamed in a way that artisan crafters can join.

I support this if you restore all the things from the nominations phase which were unfairly cut.

Ok, we'll use the noms Necare had in his poll. Can someone give Jacob and I access to the board awards forum so I can see those polls or give me a list of noms per award or something?

Death comes to all of those who oppose me.

Have we actually found out if the awards were rigged or if tract is just [radio edit]ing with everyone saying they were?

I propose Jenna and Jacob run the replacement board awards on their own, and then we vote on which set of results we like better.

:mercury_djinn: :mercury_djinn: :mercury_djinn:
I think we should vote on whether to vote or not.

Well, we tossed the polls where the winners were the joke nominations, so all the current winners are at least possibly so. That's why we'll just do a recount/second board awards (with a week time limit) to double-check.

I think this time we should require all voters to provide a form of ID.

If you aren't going to count joke nominations seriously, then don't include them on the ballet. Joke votes are a temple tradition, and if we want a joke nomination to win (like one could argue satty/silvy was, or ryu winning best graphic artist), then so be it. But, if a joke nomination legitimately wins the category, don't throw it out. That means a majority of the people thought it was the most appropriate winner for that category, and it also means a lot of votes not going toward other, potentially more worthy candidates than whatever the runnerup was.

Also, do checkbox polls next time so we can vote more than one option. Having multiple equally valid choices and having to choose just one results in a split voterbase, possibly resulting in someone less qualified winning.

Multivotes are dumb. The whole point is whoever you think the "best" is.

We threw out the ones that were impossible. Ie. Saturos/Terrible, Sasuke/Torment, etc, since they involved abstract things. Saturos/Silvy is fine, because ugh, if people think so...
Or like, someone being nominated for an award who doesn't do anything of the sort, or who is a banned troll (Mother Mary, for example).

Okay, I get that I don't do amazing creations like others have done, and I don't maintain a topic where I post my drawings. In fact, I can't draw worth shit.

But, I do graphics arts sometimes. My stream on twitch is usually composed of things I've put together. I used to make videos all the time and post them on youtube. I also created all of the Touhou Mafia role cards myself, as well as dabble with the Walfas creator every once in a while.

It may have been a "joke" nomination, but I still do this stuff, and being told I don't is kind of a dick move. I scraped together the walfas picture to post in this thread partially out of a joke, but to also show that I am capable of taking things already created and converting them into my own unique compositions.

Ryu, I didn't make reference to you specifically, but if now that you bring it up... I seem to remember you weren't sure why you were nominated, either. >_> So we were all like "huh must be a joke," and then you explained it a week later and we were like "okay"

Welp. Sorry ryu, I didn't realize you actually did things.

Multivotes are dumb. The whole point is whoever you think the "best" is.

You know, that mentality might make sense when there are essentially only two people to choose between (*cough*american elections*cough*), but when you have too many valid choices, you kinda need to have more than one round if you want accurate results. For instance, HJ and enro would both draw upon a similar voterbase for best clansperson, unfairly disadvantaging both of them. Multivotes would remove this disparity (even if it's only best 2 or 3 you can vote for, perhaps depending on size of the poll), and if you really want people to vote for who they think is the "best," bring it down to a top two for every category afterward where people only vote one. And just because multivotes exist, doesn't mean everyone has to use them; if they only think one person is worthy of winning the award, they would only vote that one person.
