gingerbread competition rant
okay, seeing how things are going with judging, i dont really like it. this is my first time entering a vfk competition where people's judging actually determines what you place. i've done the ones before there was such a thing as a contest boutique. i really think that this shouldnt be acceptable on certain conditions, and i would like to see if you guys can relate or agree. if you can, comment. if not, comment and state what you think.
1) people have enemies on vfk
if an enemy of yours gets your room, obviously they are going to rate you a bad score which hurts your chances of placing. i keep getting 0's or 1's personally which is placing me in a place that i shouldnt be in.
2)things should be separate like racing.
for those of you who dont know about racing , its separated between stock (no race pins) and modified (race pins) race pins as in top 10 pins.
for this competition, it should be separated between people who did not give someone perms in their room vs people who did. my point with this is that obviously people who get help on their builds are going to be getting higher impression scores (or those select few that give people perms for the other person to build FOR them or others having their acc info and doing it for them.
3)people misjudging rooms so theirs gets a high score
this i just cannot stand and is happening constantly this competition. i see my score drop so many points because people are giving me 0 or 1 stars on my ride when clearly it isnt. people should not be allowed to judge 0 or 1 star on every room (unless its a room with two gingerbread pieces then thats necessary)
4)people use clones by having them enter in competition by placing a few items in room, then go on there and give everyone 0 or 1 stars on their rooms.
this should be self-explanatory and needs to stop.
^ and please dont argue this idea that only IP is allowed. its not, its called an IP hider.
i personally thought it was more fair when staff decided who placed. this way is making it unfair for others to place.
my voice clearly wont be heard and ideas wont be taken into account but i just think this is unfair.
for those who worship vfk like its their religion and dont see where im coming from, idk what to tell you.
for those of you who can see the point im making, thank you.
if a staff took time out to read this post, thank you.
comment what you think about this! i want to hear what you all think about this. thanks!
(also, thank you for taking the time out to read my rant.)
(sorry if i seem rude here i just want to express how im feeling about this judging, its only an opinion, nothing against anyone.)
hey, walker bait.

I agree with most of this! But some parts I don't agree with. I'll explain.
I don't agree with the enemy part. When you judge a contest, it doesn't say who the owner is, so the enemy wouldn't know who's entry that was. The only way they would be able to sabotage is if the person shows the enemy their entry or if the enemy gives every room a low rating. I don't think that anyone would show their enemy their contest entry, and I don't think anyone would be that desperate to give every room a low star just to sabotage someone. But hey, people like that are out there, so I could be wrong.
I also don't agree with the clones placing a few items in their rooms then giving everyone else a low score for two reasons. 1: Unless someone has clones that fill most of VFK's population, they wouldn't be able to make their entry get a higher score. They're tons of VFKers that judge, so they could easily rate a worthy entry a higher rating, and in large numbers, they could easily overcome the clones' ratings. 2: People will also judge the clones' entries. If they only place a few items in their entry, then there's no way that anyone would give them a high rating, so they wouldn't have a chance in getting placed.
The rest of everything I agree with however. Hopefully Staff will make these changes!
FANTASTIC! Thanks Taco!!
Oh! I thought you meant that they were trying to get the clones to win LOL. My mistake. I still think that their ratings could still be outnumbered though.
I also have something to add to this. I think that Staff should go back to having it go up to 10 stars. Example:
10 star way: I come across an entry and say it's worth about 3 stars. 3 stars would be bad with the 10 star rating.
5 star way: If I think a room would be worth 3 stars, that means it would be pretty good. But in reality, I would find 3 stars bad, using the 10 star way. I would have put 1 or 2 stars, but it wouldn't be what I thought it's Overall Rating would be. So I hope Staff will switch it back to up to 10 stars.

i completely agree with this! i noticed it was 5 stars also and i was like um.. wasn't it 10 stars? lol. its hard to judge now with the 5 stars because like you said, if its worth about 3 or 4, thats actually good on a 5 star scale so you have to give like a 1 or 2 star? it just doesn't seem all thought out. they should go back to the 10 stars..
yup exactly. people do all they can just to get a high score :\ wish people judged fairly.. i didn't even judge this competition lol i was like its not even worth it.
i'm not saying every single person cheats, there are people who regularly build without help or anything, but there are those select few who use clones and judge others poorly.
i agree with this 100%
