[I would like to request that this be an Opticraft event, but for now: General Discussion it is]
[I would also like to request that a notice and link to this thread be placed on the voting page to remind players to verify their votes and compete in this thread for more prizes than just one diamond per vote]
So guys, votifier still isn't fully implemented yet which means people aren't voting as much as they are just clicking the vote buttons and closing the tab. I will admit to doing this as well, but a while back I began legitimately voting. Now I always fill out the captcha and do a legit vote.
Anyways, being as a lot of people do not vote legitimately, I will be holding my own competition.
Chief's Vote Fairly Competition
This is a competition which promotes users to vote fairly instead of just clicking vote, and stopping at that. Basically, this is a competition which will reward users with all kinds of stuff for doing the right thing, and helping to attract more players!
About This Competition
Every player who enters their votes will have them tallied up. For every 10 votes a player makes, the player will receive a free prize (see the prizes below) for up to two items per player (remember, Im doing this myself, and that nether quartz is gonna take some time to recover from the nether). The prizes as you can see below are the things which you will see in the 1.5 update, and they are chosen by you.
Trapped Chest
Light Sensor
8 Redstone Comparators
8 Redstone Blocks (72 redstone)
Hopper
Dropper
Hopper Minecart
Now, it may seem silly to only allow players two prizes. What happens after players get ten votes and tell me what two prizes they want? Should you all just stop? No! Keep going. Because the top three voters in my competition each get to choose a grand prize from one of three chests. Each of the three chests will have something nice, and each of the three top voters (starting with the 1st place winner to the 3rd place winner) will get to choose one of the chests. The grand prizes are nothing skimpy either! The chests might have written books in them which will guarantee a 250K prize, or maybe 100K. Maybe there will be a stack of gold! Perhaps a dragon egg (or three). You won't know, but none of the three chests will have something weak like a diamond pickaxe or something (unless perhaps a chest of 10 books with various level 30 enchantments with a few diamond pickaxes.)
How to participate!
I will keep a tally of everybody's votes. So how do you enter this? Well, I need to have proof that you voted, so here's what you do:
1) Make a screenshot for each and every vote you place.
2) The screenshot must show the following:
- The time of the day AND the date, and you cant type it in with paint. I have to see the windows, linux, or system clock of whatever sort in the picture.
- Your minecraft username must be visible somewhere (typed in the address bar of your browser, or on the topsite vote page, whatever)
- The topsite vote page that says you placed the vote must be visible (if the topsite doesn't display a vote confirmation page, but rather just takes you to their homepage, then take a screenshot of the captcha filled out right before you click the vote button)
3)
- You get one point for every vote which you post proof of in this thread.
- Photoshopping any of your pictures will result in immediate disqualification even if you are the top voter
- If the vote picture doesn't contain everything listed in the above spoiler, then it will not count.
- You cannot vote for anyone else
- If you screenshot doesn't have your minecraft username somewhere typed on the screen when you take the screenshot, then that vote will not be counted
- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE place each of your (up to 5) screenshots per day in a spoiler! Oh god I can already see the webpages being a mile long! SPOILERS!
Happy Voting.
Current Scores:
The grand prize and final tallying will be on April 10th. This will give you all a month to rack up those points. Note this competition is completely seperate from Opticalzas top voter thing.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW VOTES SHOULD BE DONE!!! - Yes it's a double post for formatting purposes. If the staff really find this a problem then they can reduce my post count by 1 if they want.
Notice how:
- The date and time are visible
- My username is visible somewhere on the screen
- And either a captcha is filled out, or there is some sort of obvious way to see I actually voted
- I use spoilers
- If you have a large image then please size it down, or just post a link to the image.
