Hi everybody,
I checked the different polls in the threads and they got all a different amount of total votes :? For example, this thread (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=27397.0) (393 total votes) has almost 50 votes more than that: Click me (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=27372.0). What do you think about that?
I would like to know,
Stephan

Perhaps people just vote to match-ups in which period and/or the miniatures atractive to them. Speaking for myself I'm looking at every match-up and vote for the entry I like most. Maybe people don't do that because it is very time consuming and you have to choose an entry out of two while both entries (maybe) don't appeal to you so you skip the voting on those two.

I don't vote in all threads, typically those which I think are a draw.
Perhaps the OP has a lot of free time and can think of no better way of spending it than counting votes?

Don't be mean! ::)
I make a point of voting on all of the matches, and find it rather odd that people choose not to.
-
Pretty normal judging from the past.
For one reason or another, folks don't always vote on all the matches.
-
Yeah, sounds like it's just a case of people looking at more matches in round 2 than round 1. I know I was a bit more methodical in the second round's voting than in the first.
-
I think some people just miss certain entries. New replies in a topic changes the order in which topics are listed, so when voting while running down the list of polls on sunday around noon it's very easy to miss a certain entry as they change places as soon as someone leaves a reply.
-
It's normal. And of course people should only vote where they want to vote, for whatever reason.
-
Indeed, it's quite normal, and I may add that looking through all topics and deciding on a vote for all of them is quite time consuming. In the LPL4 I was often unable to vote on every matchup in a round and that was a limiting factor for me.
Edit: popular topics with very good entries tend to attract more votes as well, Franks entry in your first example is rather stunning so I can imagine such an entry will encourage people to vote more 8)
-
I don't find all that time consuming to look through 35 odd posts plus you have a week to do it.
-
If its just a case missing voting because the listing changes fair enough, but all the people in the LPL have spent a lot of time, and possibly money, creating their entries. Surely voters, even if they don't particularly like the genre, could spend 10 seconds and place that vote?

Well, that's certainly not going to help the situation is it ::)
cheers

That is why I vote in every match. No matter the painting skill of the participants they all took the time and made the effort on their level to "compete" here and give us something new to look at!
-
I know that I try to vote on each mathup. In past rounds I know I have missed a couple of match ups until it was too late to vote. I did choose not to vote on one once, I found both entries unappealing. No one should feel compelled to vote if they don't want to though.
-
I vote on everything, but it is unfair to expect everyone too.
You have to vote if you are happy to vote, this is a fun competition and everybody gets something out of it. It could be inspiration for your next project, the motivation to paint or just some eye candy for your sunday! :)
IMHO, The voting is almost irrelevant in this competition, it is in the truest sense about the taking part for me.
-
I asked the same question in the last LPL… or was it the one before that? Anyhow, sometime people won’t vote if either one of the entries do not “float their boat”
I do vote in every rounds myself. I think Andym pretty much explain why I find it to be a basic courtesy…
-
I think it would be a more basic courtesy not to try and impose your views about how one should vote on others. Yet year in, year out we get threads where exactly this happens. There's always something in the voting behaviour that folks complain about not being fair. It's only the 'something' that changes.
Sometimes both entries are so good I cannot and do not wish to choose between them. Sometimes I don't like either entry. Given that it is my vote and my choice, rather than that of the self-appointed Courtesy and Fairness Committee, I don't see why I should have to vote for something I don't like, or for one excellent entry over another that I like equally.
Just concern yourselves with your own votes, okay? Because mine are none of your damn business. :)

Ignoring the part about the committee stuff( a wee bit over the top by the way!)maybe next year you could introduce a 'Vote for Both' button. Maybe that would reflect more what people think of the entries. If you think both entries are good, vote for both! If you think both entries are guff, don't vote. Your way doesn't give the people you like the credit they deserve or their proper place on the leader board.

There is no such a thing as 'a proper place on the leader board'.
-
The idea is not without merit, but I'm sure the top drawer entries can get by fine without the extra votes of a few ditherers like myself. :)

Goodness me, what venom from such a small issue! :P
Se la vi!

It's not my intention to be mean but come on. Had all women died I could see why such a distracton might be needed, otherwise no. I vote on just about every thread, but on draws I don't- how else might I decide a draw?
-
i vote in every entry (at least, from what I know of) ... it take maybe 30minutes, then Im through ... in addition I viewed some great miniatures .. that is worth 30mins. :-*

I vote on all that I do not call a tie, I and at least one other voter have called for a tie/both button. I understand why there isn't one tho. :? I usually post to the thread that I have abstained too. ;)
-
If I can't decide which one to vote for, I ask my wife. She's pretty opinionated and can always choose one way or another.

I agree (and vote in all pairs) - however it is down to personal choice, if you can't decide for some reason then not voting is your valid choice!
-
I don't know what the problem is. It only takes a few seconds to vote. The contestants have put a lot of work into these models. The least that we the voters can do is take a moment of our time to look at all the entries and show support. No I don't have a ton of spare time. But at lease I can take a couple of moments of that time and show my support. Why can't others?

Lads, voting on whatever is a quite personal matter. Please leave it to everyone to decide for themselves vote or not. Thank you. Topic locked.
