Custom Pokemon Contest Redux Poll

[JadeRabbitEmperor]

Option A:
It'll be no small note I'm all for this option as its what me and Fly activated for last year after that debauchery of that contest. There are issues to be addressed such as how to prevent bad entries from getting passed into circulation. Just because an entry passes all the "requirements" doesn't make it a good entry so there needs to be a set goal for each entry to strive towards as well as things that if not correctly implemented within an entry disqualify it. I think there should also be a list of volunteer's who a person can quote for input rather than simply relying on the random passer by to take a look but making their response optional. I also think simply because an entry has little to no "feedback" on their entry it shouldn't affect its right to be entered for final judgment.

Option B:
Started at the bottom now I'm here. No for real, I started writing from E up XD. As with Option D, and C I find a few issues with HOW this will effect the voting. Most notably the preference for who can and can't be a judge. Though that issue would be totally unintentional I'm sure. BUT in the act of being fair, i feel it's only proper to point it out. I feel there should be rules for who can and can't be a judge, term limits for how many consecutive times a person can be a judge, and restrictions on what they can do as a judge with regards to the votes. While this is a small possibility for the issue it's no less valid. I also feel there needs to be a reserve selection of judges in the event, not enough people volunteer.

Option C:
While I don't distrust the mods I do think that on occasions they can be short-sighted and I fear that due to their tight nite bonds they may unintentionally askew the votes in favor of entries they favorite due to better creative flavor and may ignore the complexity's of the moves pools, abilities and how those interact with each other as well as items. I in no want to imply the mobs won't or can't catch these sort of issues but iv made it sort of my job to catch and point out such issues and over the past 2 years iv caught close to 100 now, ( iv kept notes XD, am at 86 so far ) BUT it needs to be said, all the issues iv caught have been within the cannon material. If we limit the number of eyes on new material being added I fear some craft bugger ( most likely myself in all honestly ) will slip something through the cracks and open pandora's box for further fakemon issues. If have less issue IF this didn;t redirect the mods from their normal jobs within the guild stretching them thin and making such mistakes easier on the whole.

Option D:
This gives NO accountability to the judges and a "popularity contest" is exactly what we'll get. Negative or foolish members who value "power" over "creativity and effort" will be given an open door to ruin the very ideals we build this guild upon. Each year we saw people who submitted entries with very little effort put into them, while other entries, begun and submitted at the last second proved a half decent fakemon wasn't that hard to make IF the creature was willing to put forth the effort. If we don't hold the judges accountable to explain their reasoning good entries will be overshadowed by the bad ones as people vote in favor of their friends as oppose to casting a vote for the honestly well-designed entries.

Option E:
I really don't think anyone's going to put the canon over their ability to be creative and leave their mark on both the Pokemon world we've created here and the RP as a whole. Besides that, I could see more tension between members who would vote for and against this then it might otherwise resolve. It could even lead to some members leaving who feel those who voted for it simply wanted to cement their fakemon as "the only" fakemon and prevent anyone else from ever outs shining them.
