Hellfire Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 I did last year too. And if we have awards for this year, I will vote for you again. Awesome Thank the Makers one can be voted for something he doesn't do. And by a mod! Kinda explains Bush Jr.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 No, not really.. His post was just as pointless as yours. Some people may have some types of difficulties - lets not be brash and closed-minded.
Rummy Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Blame me, I seem to be utter shite at finishing what I start, story of my fucking life Maybe you should finish that too! I don't mean that, but it was irresistable in my mind. Out of curiosity, is there going to be any awards this year, or wil this be a biannual kinda thing given the time it takes to get done? Any reports on the current progress?
Dyson Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 Next time, if I end up doing it again (which is unlikely, I don't think many people here would take them seriously) it wouldn't be a one man show from the start. On top of that there would also need to be a reduced amount of categories, or perhaps an easier system of counting the numbers, as this is where it fell to pieces in the results section.
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Quit moaning, it's been done in the past by a single person and a lot quicker. Seriously, it probably is a two person job at the max, but it's more tedious counting up all the votes than anything. It can be done in a single day if you set time aside. I think I've done it before, and then Cube last year.
Dyson Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 Yeah I think I was expecting it to be easier than the counting actually was
Olympic Gamer Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I think I used Excel in some odd way. I would of done the same, import all the votes as they come into a csv file and had the computer count it. Oh well, people make mistakes etc. *Starts working towards a 2008 nomination, preferably a positive one*
Ashley Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 And why was it never considered to set up one of those off-site poll things that do the counting for us. There may have been variations with spellings, underscores and stuff but would have cut the workload.
Dyson Posted July 2, 2008 Author Posted July 2, 2008 Hmm, that's something I'll look in to next time then.
jayseven Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 *cough* I thought you guys were 'done', or something.
Dyson Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 As far as I know it is. Tellyn and Rez took over, though, so I dunno myself anymore.
ReZourceman Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Im nearly done on my page, Tellyn is working faster than me and took a few pages to do, so they should be up this weekend, but Ill MSNz Tellyn later to confirm.
ReZourceman Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 It's been TWO WEEKS. Oooh, you buggers. *Takes a bow* Lol. Ill finish it asap. Ill give it a good load tonight.
EEVILMURRAY Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Ill give it a good load tonight. I bet you will. Sick bastard.
jayseven Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 *Takes a bow* Lol. Ill finish it asap. Ill give it a good load tonight. You lied to me. It's been PRACTICALLY ANOTHER WEEK. Srsly if I was an admin I'd... I'd... grr.
ReZourceman Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Lol....I take your threat and raise you a promise to work on this some more when I get today, from my half day. I WILL report back in a bit. I know Im really lame for saying Ill help and not doing a speedy job.
Sprout Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Tellyn was working on vote countery too, yes? Because I counted the votes myself and sent the results to him... Only took me two days, y'know...
ReZourceman Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Tellyn was working on vote countery too, yes? Because I counted the votes myself and sent the results to him... Only took me two days, y'know... You've done the whole thing? ps. I know I know Im lame, but Ive been working on it slowly, in between full time job and my life...
Sprout Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Whole thing's done, yeah. I didn't count votes when they stated two or more members (eg: "Most Helpful Member: Member A... or Member B!"), but aside from that, I've counted the lot of 'em (I guess I have too much free time :P). I could send you the results too over MSN / PM if you want.
Jav_NE Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 The best thing to do if you do it again is to have a template, so everyone who votes has to put "Best poster - blah blah". That way you can just CTRL F on each page and find each vote for that category quickly. Write them down, and repeat for each. People who don't write their vote properly wont have their vote couted, it's as simple as that :p
Mr_Odwin Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 How about I ban ReZourceman from all general chit chat threads until this is done?
