Link to Voting Form

CBC will be once again running the Players Choice award for 2007. This gives players the opportunity to vote for their favourite contest that ran during the past year. The vote will be administered by Aramann and myself.

The Player's Choice will go online in the coming days and players will have approximately 4 weeks to vote.

Money Bags started very close to the end of 2007 and will be included next year. Other current/recently ended contests (Aisle of Plenty and The Navy Lark) will be eligible.

Rules/Procedures

1. As happened last year, a form will be prepared in Word and players will be asked to select their favourite three contests from the list. Alternatively, for players who do not have Word 2003 or later, they may vote on a txt document (made in Notepad or similar text editing program). Players may, if they wish vote for only a first choice or only a first and second choice.

2. Each first vote receives 3 points, each 2nd vote receives 2 points, and each 3rd vote receives 1 point.

3. Designers may not vote for contests they designed, but testers may vote for contests they tested.

4. To be eligible to vote, players must have either entered one or more of the eligible contests, tested one or more of the eligible contests, or designed one or more of the eligible contests (but note rule 3 above). You do not need to have entered a contest in order to vote for it.

5. Aramann and myself are eligible to vote, but only up until the time the first vote from anyone other than us is received on the upload utility.

6. The CBC 2007 Players Choice will be the contest with the highest score. In the event of a tie, the winner will be the contest with the most players submitting valid entries.

Did we really only have 3 C3 contests in a whole year ? . Amazing. I only played in two of that list that I can recall so its going to be easy for me to choose.

C3 took a back seat when C4 contests started, and after the Imperial Assessment series. Expect more this year with the design competition maps to get a run. The Battle of Sarmizegetusa ran over December/January but was included in the 2006 vote (and was in fact the winner).

The voting is now open. A link to the voting form has been added to the first post of this thread.

Oh where is Azeem's A Daughter of Kings? It was started in mid Dec 2006 but the contest ended in Feb 2007.
Did we have a chance to vote for it in 2006?

Lokki, A Daughter of Kings was included in the 2006 vote, and you even voted for it!

Do not forget to vote for your favorite 2007 contest. The Winning designer gets a chocolate bunny!

submit your vote either by PM to us or like you submit a saved game. What we need is the best three contests listed in order.

There are very few votes! C'mon guys!

I submitted a vote, but it was very difficult to make a choice.
I hope you can read it. I don't have Word on this PC and had to do it in Open Office.
An emailed round robin might prod a few people?

Currently there are 18 votes for the Players choice.

I'm sure there are more than 18 players who liked our contests. Where are you?

Players you can submit a text file, a doc file to the submissions page for Players Choice, OR send a PM to us. (for those who are having technical issues, I will add your vote to the upload for you)

Of the competitions listed I have only played some of the C4 ones. Although I have very much enjoyed these I would rather not vote because I can only assess the games I have played and feel its unfair on all the designers for all the other games to cast my vote without even seeing there work.

Okay just done mine.

While checking though the contests to see which ones I entered I see that contest 114 and contest 113 have the same results which are for 113. There are no results for number 114. Hope they are not lost.

ADJB, I only played in 3 contests [ and designed one ] during this past year too so only voted for those 3 as my choices. So please vote just based on what contests you are happy that you know enough about. It doesn't matter if someone only played one contest and votes for that contest.

Thanks for finding this. I think I fixed it CC. They are not lost... just not found.
