  Re: 2nd Annual Space Building Contest?
 
(...) <snip> So what dates do you want to start and end? Jude (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: 2nd Annual Space Building Contest?
 
(...) How about we aim to have the rules ironed out and posted early next week? As for the end time, we should a month to build. We can cut it off before Christmas to allow time for voting afterward, or we can cut it off around the end of the year (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: 2nd Annual Space Building Contest?
 
(...) I like that. (...) I actually like general categories like these better than those very specific ones of the last contest. Weren't there about a dozen or so different categories last year? (...) I say at least 20 pieces, no more than 600. 1000 (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: 2nd Annual Space Building Contest?
 
(...) I agree with ending after Christmas too. We could then have one week of voting and wrap it up by January 7th. I do not want the voting to take forever. Are we going to limit voting to those who enter only? BTW, My ISP is changing my domain (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

  Re: 2nd Annual Space Building Contest?
 
<much editing> Ending it after Christmas sounds good. How about midnight, Dec 31 - (that is, the eve before newyear's eve). I don't think judging will be that big a problem if we keep the range of categories small, as you suggested. I do have one (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: 2nd Annual Space Building Contest?
 
How about this people? Regular Categories -- 1. Commuter vehicles ala Meteor Monitor: limit of 50 elements 2. Small Ground Vehicles ala Alienator: limit of 100 elements 3. Small Ships ala Invader: limit of 200 elements 4. Bigger Ground Vehicles ala (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: 2nd Annual Space Building Contest?
 
(...) This will help give us several entries right away. (...) People should also vote for an entry not in their catagory and not one of his/her entries. Also all votes for a disqualified entry will not be able to be reused (we only have one round (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: 2nd Annual Space Building Contest?
 
(...) I should think we would want "one vote per category from each competitor" disallowing votes for one's own entries. That is to say, multiple votes from each competitor. Make at least one entry and you are *in* the voting circle. Maybe we should (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: 2nd Annual Space Building Contest?
 
(...) I like that. (...) I do not think so. If someone wants to compete against himself/herself, they can. (...) Jude (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: 2nd Annual Space Building Contest?
 
(...) Just to clarify... I'm reading this as: IF you enter the contest (one or more entries) THEN you get one vote in each category, regardless of whether you entered that particular category and regardless of how many entries you made overall AND (...)

  Re: 2nd Annual Space Building Contest?
 
(...) Then the ayes have it. Jude, will you write the announcement? Or...? We should try to give people at least 5 weeks to build, and therefore must announce the contest ASAP. -- Hop-Frog (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
 
  Re: 2nd Annual Space Building Contest?
 
Boy, go to classes for one day, and you guys go and start the contest! :) Guess I'll get started on the web page! Oh, and Jude - in the rules you mentioned that you would be scrutinizer and would not enter the contest. Does that mean the rest of us (...)

(...) <snip> I figure only those tabulating the votes should not enter. Jude (23 years ago, 15-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
