I'd do it more myself, but you don't even get blam/protect points for that list. I bet if you gave some kind of extra rank for people who hit that page up a lot, more people would do it.

You're the 100th person to ask for a bonus incentive to do this. Get in line.

Like a "helpful NG member" notation next to their name or some crap. People on NG are like Americans...they won't do a damn thing unless it's somehow directly good for them or their interests. =\

Wrong.

If that was true, explain the dozens of people, like yourself, me, and others, who've cut the list down from 650,000+ votes needed to 150,000 votes, eh?

See this topic for plenty of people who've been helping out since September and don't expect anything in return for it (except the cool new 200 vote system that will be put into place, of course):

try more like thousands! or tens of thousands actully.. he definatly voted on the most.. id estimate around he voted about 100000 times (probably a whole hell of alot more).. i voted an estimated 20000.. also thank gfoxcook, and ramagi, and sekky.. and alot of others! :-D

Definitely over 100,000 votes. Of the 650,000 total votes needed at the start (plus tons more from all the new movies... certainly over 1,000,000 votes total), I wouldn't say Joe's done more than half, but he's certainly done in the 100,000-200,000 range, I'd estimate.

And thanks to you, as well!

I'm going to go vote on some more, that's given me a buzz.

Hey, don't go putting ME in the same sentence as Joe. I'm not in his league either. No fault of mine, of course, just my shitty computer's. #;-}> All I did was start the Wi/Ht? topic about the 200 vote situation and try to galvanise some support for this process and also make a few suggestions to liljim about certain things and all. I wasn't the workhorse of the actual vote clearage, but I certainly tried to help when I could.

I'm sure I haven't broken 100,000 votes since September. Maybe 20,000-50,000 range, dunno.

Anywho... with the end in sight (despite the large page count, that votecount is TINY, and once everything is above 190 votes, it's gonna be SO easy. hell, less than 10 people could clear the list in one day if they voted on all the movies at that point #;-}>).... and with this thread by Wade...

I think we'll be done quite soon with the extra help we're now getting. WTG, everyone. Rock on with yer bad selves.

Response to We need voters! 2004-01-08 22:43:54


I noticed some people saying they're tired of flash after voting on a whole page's worth (presumably 100).

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WATCH THE MOVIES. Just vote near the score they have now. Christ. You think Joe watches 6000 flashes a day? For one thing, he's voting on the same flashes he was voting on yesterday for the most part. I'm sure he's getting tired of seeing the same old titles over and over again, but he's not watching the movies. #;-}>

yeah, but none of them have less than 182 votes.

When we started this process, there were thousands of movies with between 120 and 150 votes. They needed DOZENS of votes EACH to hit 200.

Now each flash needs barely a dozen votes to hit 200. The work is SO much less than it used to be.

You're just reacting to how many movies are still left behind. Think of it this way:

it's easier to vote 10,000 movies from 190 votes to 200 votes each than it is to vote 5,000 movies from 100 to 200 votes each.

Personally, I find voting on the submissions on the last page a more effective way of eliminating submissions since the ones on the last few pages only need four or five more votes until they reach 200.

i wouldn't say its more effective.. i would say its more satisfying. if you vote on a 199 submission you know that your vote will send it off the list and you feel much better by it than if it was at 182 instead.. i bet if all the 8000 movies left were stuck at 199... 8000 more votes would be voted much quicker

By watching and voting on some of these, you can learn some really useful things.

Did you know that stealing nail polish is wrong? Well I do, now! All thanks to some flash animation with less than 200 votes.

There you go 52 movies watched and voted on, a page and a bit and it only took me an hour and a half. I'll do another page tommorow if i have the time, or maybe tonight if i dont go out and get pissed.

But are you voting fairly ???? I dont think Wade meant for you to bend the rules like you are doing just now, but i'll leave that for him to decide.

Response to We need voters! 2004-01-09 10:48:25


THIS IS WADES POST FROM A WHILE AGO :)

" I figure if a lot of people chip in we can get them all over 200 votes by the end of the month (maybe). I shouldn't say this, but if you don't have time to view everything, just vote close to it's score, like if it's a 2.5 give it a 2 or a 3, preferably the higher just to be nice. :) We just want to get the votes up, but it would be great if people took the time to watch the entry and leave a review too, if they liked it, to give these people more feedback. :)"

see... its all good

I dont agree with what he's said, but he is the man with the bandwidth problems and all and just wants everything sorted so he can make the place better.

Which i have been doing, because i think its only fair, i would expect the same from everyone else on my submissions.

see... its all good

Fair enough, point proven, but i think i'll stick with my way all the same. I dont mind getting the b/p points but its not just that im after, i watch them to see if i can pick up on anything that i cant do myself (yet) so i can better myself. I ask you, do you make animations ??? Would you like someone to blam youre movie just for a blam point ?? I think not.
