can you answer my question cjd?
"i noticed another member recieved a bonus for a 3ds station...which i made for them. did i recieve a bonus too? cause if not that would bump my overall score to 7.33 or something like that.
just curious"
i am not trying to sound like an ass who feels like they lost unfairly, and up until i came home from vacation i felt like i was just unlucky, BUT, every since i have come home, i have had 3 conversations with people who advanced to the next round, and all 3 of them told me i got screwed. that is that first thing they told me, is that i got screwed. once again i am not attempting to bitch cjd, please understand this, but i believe if 3 people believe i got screwed over, then i would suggest changing your rating methods.
building technique will go alot farther in any contest than originality. you should take a track with better bt over a track with better originality, and originality should be based on bt. for instance, if someone has a great idea, but an ok track, not good, but not crappy, they should not advance over someone who had a soso idea, with a good track. their originality score should be based on how well their BT is. they shouldnt recieve a 9 for Originality, if their track is a 6. it atmost should be an 7.5, and that is if it would recieve a perfect 10 if the track was great as well. understand what i mean? im available on IM to explain it more for you if necessary.
once again i apologize if i am sounding like a complaining ass hole, i am not one, but i am someone who has concerns about this contest. i am attempting for in the future of the matchup to be based more on this basis, where BT rules over originality, than the concept that the contest is currently being runned by, where originality is more important than BT.
