Painting Competition Voting

[Tim C]

At last the time has come for the voting to begin, I have had to revise things a little as the amount of entries was not high and so this is how it will work,
Basically there will be two categories with a 1st, 2nd and 3rd for each.
The categories are Expert and beginner, instead of setting up a poll all I simply want to see is a post with your casting votes in so it will look something like this

Expert

1st Member name mini
2nd Member name mini
3rd Member name mini

This same method you can use for Fantasy Single, Sci Fi Single and Monster (where applicable)

Beginner

1st Member name mini
2nd Member name mini
3rd Member name mini

This same method you can use for Fantasy Single, Sci Fi Single and Monster (where applicable)

Then I would also like to have an overall winner for both expert and beginner classes so again

Beginner

Member name mini

Expert

member name mini

I know this is a little different than originally intended and I am sorry for that but I think this way we will get something for most people.

Ok so now for the tough part. I have to place members where I think they will do best so here goes.

Expert Category Entrants

dansemacabre
menace
DrEvilmonki
jabberwocky

beginner

mutantpotato
jimmygee
fattybolger

Bruenor will win the diorama by default as he is the only entrant for that one.

Once the voting is finished and I will leave it open for two weeks then the votes will be added up and the final decisions made. the winners will be announced in here and I will sort out then what is going where.

this is a bit hit and miss this time but it is our first contest and hopefully any successive contests will be a bit better organised.

*EDIT* I feel I should explain a little how the voting is going to work. Basically as amany people as possible will place their choice of who should be placed where ie 1st, 2nd and 3rd and then after the voting closes I go through and do some simple math to give the final result.

For example if say I had entered and after checking through the posts I had the most amount of people saying I should be first then I would win and then the same goes for second and third and also the overall winners.

I hope that explains it a little.

Sounds good Tim.
Sorry the turn out was a bit low but it is only early days here still. Onwards and upwards.
Probably need a bit more advertising for the next one.

Anyway I am off to look at the beginners catergory. I don't think I will (or should) vote in my own area.

Ok here are my votes.

Beginner catergory-

1st - mutant potatoe - Dark Angel
2nd - jimmygee - Kurgan
3rd - fattybolger - Orc warlord

Overall beginner

Mutant potatoe

[bruenor]

Whooo Hooo!!!!
My favourite word, Default!!!!

Thanks Tim, shame I didn't have anyone to compete against.

My votes go as follows:

Expert

1st Menace ( Nemetis The Sacraligous)
2nd dansemacabre (Apostate of Darkness)
3rd DrEvilmonki (Isenguard Troll)

Overall Expert Winner: Menace

Beginner

1st mutantpotato (Dark angels Captain)
2nd Jimmygee (Thing Repaint)
3rd fattybolger (Orc Warlord)

Overall Beginner winner: mutantpotato


I would just like to say that although there wasn't a flood of entries, the standard of all entered was particularly high, in fact so high that I very nearly didn't enter.

[mutantpotato]

I will NOT vote in the beginner category. I think it will be wrong, because I am an entrant.

1st: menace

2nd: DrEvilMonkey

3rd: dansemacambre

Overall: menace

I wish good luck to everyone in the competition! And thanks alot to Tim for hosting the competition ;D

I'm not voting for the experts but in all honesty the victory should go to you menace

[jabberwocky]

Perhaps I misunderstood--I thought there were 3 categories within both expert and beginner (fantasy single, sci-fi, and monster) AND an overall winner in both expert and beginner. 8 categories in all not including the diorama. Congratulations, Bruenor!!

If it is just overall expert and beginner then:

Beginner

1st--Jimmygee, Kurgan
2nd--Mutantpotatoe, DA Captain
3rd--Fattybolger, Orc Warlord

Overall, Jimmygee

I have no qualms voting in the expert category ( mostly because I am clearly at the bottom of it ;D)

Expert

1st--Menace, Nemetis
2nd--DrEvilmonki, Isengard troll
3rd--Dansemacabre, Apostate of Darkness

Overall, Menace

Good luck everyone!
