Most of us don't have that much time to participate in SOTW. Not to mention we'd run out of themes rather quickly this way. It would become a ghost town...

I agree with sticking with SotM. AnimeSuki is a pretty lowkey place, especially here in Fan Creations. By having a more time intensive SotW, participants would drop and us volunteers who help out with the contest would probably get burnt out or miss deadlines.
We have a wide range of skills in our contests as well, and besides the busy-ness of real life, I can imagine those just starting out in gfx would get overwhelmed with the quicker rate of things. It's nice to give them time to get feedback on their works so they can work on them before submitting final entries.

Oh, thats all cool. I was just saying, you guys had like 15 or so entries? Thats a lot compared to what I'm used to.
And I usually take a good 45 min. or so to make a sig. If some people need a month, thats understandable too. I just thought it would be worth a shot because I get jittery and I like the week by week process more. |

Especially in a sig of the week format....the entire reason this is a monthly contest is because everyone would burn out four times as fast, organizers and contestants alike.

Gosh...I'm fascinated by this talk...why give proof? Are you going to shout "I TTLY DREW THIS!!1!" in the SOTM thread while posting your entry? If you just slap the entry there, nothing happens. You don't have to prove anything at all. This rule is simply meant for situations when a person uses a sig that is not his/her and someone else finds out about it (while browsing different forums or things like that), thus disqualifying him/her from SOTM.
And it did happen a few times, so the rule has its meaning.

May I ask why you'd do that, for curiosity's sake? If I were to use my own draws in sigs, I wouldn't have the immediate urge to say it's all mine. But hey, people are different, it's just that I can't seem to find a good reason. I mean, it's not like people can reverse engineer the draw from a highly customized sig undamaged so that anybody could steal your work. So, why exactly?

Has the possibility of having votes with points been discussed?
For example: at times I want to vote for more then 3, but other times I want to vote for less then 3. So you could give everyone 3.0 points to place on entries. Everyone is allowed to give at most 1.5 for any entry, but can give as little as they want, as long as the total = 3.0 points. So, assuming entries are A to Z you can vote A: 1.5pt, B: 0.5pt, C: 0.3pt, D: 0.2pt, F: 0.5pt. Or something like that. The idea is to make the voting phase more creative/subjective. Right now it's a little too much like "post-and-forget" and the thread is not that interesting until the counts are in.

Arguably you shouldn't be doing it by hand now either. I can make a tool to help you with counting, but why aren't you using NightWish's voting counter thing? Didn't he finish it?

The problem I see with the current system is actually the hole "pick 3" thing. Can you answer me why exactly it's "pick 3"? Looking at the general voting pattern if you had people pick 2 or pick 4, you would get completely different results. Picking anything more then 1 should be weighted. Speaking of which, why not pick 1 anyway? would certainly make your life easier.
