Oi!

While browsing through coolmini i found this :

LINK 1

LINK 2

and this

LINK 3

Wha the bloody hell is happening ?

This is not really right I think :/

Green one\'s minis are far better , and given far more work and care than these here and he has just 6.4 :/
i think that this is way unfair :/


What do you guys think?

 

[james sequeira]

to be honest i dont go all with this his minis are better than those its up to people what they vote and wheather they think the score they give is worth it

 

[hashmallum]

You know buddies and dynamic IP are one , and fair voting is the second thing :/

I think that 8.8 for a mini like this is offending some of the better painters here

 

[james sequeira]

true but theres no way of stopping sniping

People like them perhaps? Just 7s from me if I was to rate them but I\'m not the majority I guess. There are definately some very compotent bits going on with them.

No offence intended to Green One but I think these are certainly better painted than his 6.4 regardless of how much work may have been put in.

They are above what you and I think they should be but hell, this site seems to be pretty unpredicatable and I really hope that nobody takes votes too seriously anyway.

Of course it\'s easy for me to say that because I haven\'t thrown any miniatures into the arena to be judged yet!

As an asside, you always seem to jump onto the offensive with stuff here. It\'s quite interesting and entertaining - you are like a forum crusader for truth and justice but a bit on the edge, occasionaly slipping over to extremism and going a bit dark and perhaps vilanesque yourself. Do you wear spandex and have an alter ego by any chance?

I\'m being used as an example???
I don\'t know about betterness, but you\'re probably right about work and care.

Not to mention Bill\'s last which was at 6.0 when I got to vote...

I don\'t want to bring them down though.

There are many different voting rings I think... many other forums use CMON as a display place, a photobucket with included vote system.
If you ask for votes on these here forums, you\'ll get some really tough critisism. If you leave it to the vote tide it\'ll most likely be destroyed scorewise...
If you hang on a forum where the standards are more human ( Less Godly I mean.) and have a few friends there, you can get straight eights with \"masterclass-Tabletop\" quality painting.

I like the godlike critism better than useless digits imo.

Thus I presume voting on submissions should be limited only for registered users ( I know it was discussed one gazillion times and the answer is - NO)

The other way round it\'s unfair.

Hmm you know I have just got a strong sense of \'justice\' as you may call it.

If I\'m this offensive to people - my bad - I\'m realy sorry.

This is the way I am , people either like me or hate me.

About spandex - It\'s rather uncomfortable, though my friends and family perceive me as Vin Diesel\'s doppleganger ( I was even unwillingly participating competition for his double and was the 2nd from 3.000 submissions lol )

Maybe it\'s just that I\'m very sincere and short tempered - just like a dwarf

I agree this would be cool, and more fair.. but it wouldn\'t be CMON anymore.

This has been done before on that chaos warrior. At the time I think the mini was at 9\'s. Seems that guy has a big fan base. I would say his stuff is in the mid 6\'s not the 8\'s but thats just MHO.

As to registered members only voting. Its Borgs and Chern an\'s site so I guess its whatever they want. Letting unregistered people vote helps to encourage people to site.

Besides the score is only a few peoples opinion. As long as yopu like your work who really cares about score. I prefer the comments left by the great painters here than what I get as a score (Although I will takes 8\'s any time guys)

So weres ebbon I need a drink.

Ogrebane is right; I started a thread on this very guy before:
old moans

it stuck out because it was in the T10L7 and was clearly not of that calibre. There were actually 2 entries for this piece, same pics, one ebay linked an inflated, the other more realistically voted, with much fewer votes. surprisingly he took down the low scoring one.

so the same thing is happening. oh well...it\'s oviously important to him to get higher scores.
