So, I conducted a sort of scientific experiment with this contest. I PURPOSELY posted a cover that I personally did not think was the best/winning cover, but...over at the CBCS site with a similar contest involving playing cards the cover I posted here won by a landslide with 28 votes!!! Yet at classiccomics.org the same cover received a mere 1 vote. So what exactly was different?? I have NO CLUE! At the CBCS site the Madame Xanadu #1 cover received 1 vote, The Westerner #16 received only 4 votes...so how can 2 separate sites vary in votes? Here is the link if you wish to compare...forum.cbcscomics.com/topic/11079/page/1/weekly-cover-contest-179---read-em-and-weep/
Here, people cast one vote for a single cover. Anyway, comparing the submissions for the same topic (playing cards), while there was some overlap it was very interesting to see covers that didn't appear on both sites.
(And IIRC in the past a member here had advocated for the 3 vote with varying values system; now I see where he likely got it from!)I
I might have been that member. I know that once there was some discussion of some difficulties with the one vote system, maybe because there are always so many good covers. I suggested that voting in a 3-2-1 system might be helpful. I actually was just applying the system used by baseball (and other sports) when the writers vote for the MVP and other awards: 10 points for the first choice and so on down the line.
