I considered that and with the information from this one, I'll be doing something similar next time. But if you think about it, doing it with three polls it'll take over a month of voting. I would like this whole thing wrapped up as quickly as I can to leave a nice, long break between now and the next contest. Four a year means a good eight weeks between them at least.

Not necasarily. You could have all three polls at once, voting for a week, and then the last one. It's similiar to when you'd have one poll, but ppl could leave three votes, just less confusing

Looking at the entries, I remember expecting that at least a third of them would be about D&D and other RPGs. I was quite mistaken !

I can't make up my mind between CM, LittleRose and Rak's pics for the moment, so I'll take some time to think about it and vote later.

I'm torn between Rak and februaryleaf. Both were the most original and funny for me.

Hmm...

Hard choice, but I think februaryleaf's entry was slightly more entertaining for me ^^

Now I know I can't vote for myself because one it wouldn't be fair and besides that Rob says it's against the rules. Hmmm so the idea is to vote for the entry that uses the spanking theme best in a board game, so I had to choose CM Zero. I mean honestly this pic is great! I would definitely play chess if that would be the out come if I lose (hehe which would happen often since I have never played before)

Well, I must say that I have seen quite a number of excellent pics both in respect of concept and of realisation... Pieces that dazzle the eye... and pieces that cause a grin
and chuckle... But if a choice must be made : "Don't wake Daddy" ... As far as I'm concerned that one has it all... Tops !!!

Hm..is it me or..do most people just vote for the people that can draw better than the others, but the people they vote for most likely didn't draw a picture that matched the theme well?

That's a good idea, though I was thinking more along the lines of 3 polls, take the best 3 from each and stick them in a final poll to declare an outright winner.

yeah, but think about it, thats then four polls, thats four seperate threads - each with a half-dozen posts in it and everyone complaining about how they were put into that poll and who they were drawn against.

I've been on this site more than two years, many people are very lazy or complacent - you'd *never* get people to come and vote on two polls, let alone three, never in a month of lazy sunday afternoons. One would get about 20 votes, one would get 60, one would get 5 and a dozen people posting "WHY R TERE 3 POLLSS PLEZ TELL M??!" And as I've said before, I want the voting over with quickly as possible, two heats of polls = about 14 days at least of voting - tooooo looooong.

It's never going to be fair, this is the best way, gonna have to live with it for now.
