  1. Take care Joster, I hope to see you back again soon
  2. *Hacking the forum, banning everybody so nobody can post again* THERE, I WIN!
  3. GOD says I win. You can't argue with God.
  4. What is this section for? Untergangers get their own sections?
  5. This suggestion is good, but it has its downsides too. Like OneTime pointed out, the judges would have to sit and watch a huge amount of parodies every month. I would like to suggest keeping the current system, and perhaps adding a "committee", a few people who would like to take on the job to nominate parodies each month. As a way of getting extra nominations, while still keeping the current system. Perhaps nominating one parody in each category (when it's possible). If anyone is interested in this, then let me know
  6. Well, the self-nomination bit has already been decided in a previous thread. So I will test it out this month to see what happens. The question is whether or not there should be qualification rules for the actual parodies. However, Soalric posted a very interesting point on the other forum, he said; "The way we prevent poorly made parodies from winning is by judging! I don't think putting qualifications on entries would be a good idea, as it might discourage people from nominating. Like I said, if it's a big issue, we just won't choose the video to win." And that is an excellent point... And as I said to Alpha on the chat before; there is already a rule about nominating at least one other parody while nominating your own But yeah, let's continue to leave it open and see if more people have thoughts on it.
  7. Hi! Since the idea of self-nominations was accepted by most, I will try that out for one month to see what happens. I do think we will need some kind of rules though, regarding qualifications. This would prevent a tsunami of poorly made parodies from winning in the UA. If you agree, then please help out by suggesting what kind of rules you would like to see. Perhaps rules regarding quality, correct use of language, etc. (These are just examples). I don't think the rules should be too narrow, since that would make it too hard to win. But some sort of restriction would be good, to - like I said - prevent very, very poorly made parodies from winning So: 1. Do you agree to having rules of this kind? 2. Suggest what kind of rules you would like to see. Thanks The new rules will be used in September, in that case.
  8. Thank you! How do you feel about the suggestions and ideas? Any thoughts?
  9. Just had a thought; how about that if you wanna nominate your own parody, you must also nominate at least one other by somebody else? (Not necessarily in the same category). Let's say you wanna nominate your series, then maybe you can nominate someone else's parody for "Most innovative" for example. This would mean that people would still have some "pressure" on them to nominate others work as well
  10. WARNING: Long (but important) post! Hey everyone! As you may know, I am the new maintainer of the UA (Unterganger Awards). This is something I have wanted for a very long time, and I'm happy to have the opportunity, thank you for giving me this trust! I think it's sad that the contest has been "dying" lately, and it's also rather sad that the parody making is not what it once was. I would like to use this opportunity to suggest a few changes in the contest, but before I do, I want to point out that this is a democratic contest, so it's up to you to bring ideas/suggestions and to object to any ideas I put out there. Just write your objections/suggestions in this thread - I will read them all. Now, here's what's gonna happen: I have made a deal with Stacy (HRP), and all winning parodies will be presented in a result video on his channel (and mine). Meaning all winners get promotion on his channel. I will make the result videos, maybe Stacy will make them too occasionally. It has also been decided that Soalric will be back-up maintainer, and Stacy will step in automatically and handle the contest if we are unable to do so at times. I will run the contest both on the old forum, and on Downfallparodies.net. Judges will be me, Stacy and Soalric. Self-nominations? I want to ask you how you feel about a few other changes I'm considering. Like, self-nominations. The main problem with the UA has been the lack of nominations, I doubt that will change. I think the reason behind this is that a lot of Untergangers simply do not watch that many parodies anymore, and also tend to forget to vote. Another reason is rather dark but could possibly be true; it isn't as important to people to nominate others, there is very little personal gain in it. So all these factors lead to very few nominations. So, I'm thinking about allowing people to nominate their own parodies, and to remove the shame around it. I would rather have a very active contest, full of entries (maybe people would also be a little more motivated to make quality parodies, hoping they could win, which means more parodies = more active meme), than to keep the current system and get maybe one or two nominations per month. However, no self-nominations for "Unterganger of the month". Obviously it should also be possible to nominate others as well, just like now, but to add the ability to nominate your own parodies too. Mainly I think it's important to remove the shame around self-nominations in that case, a lot of people would feel ashamed to do so, I want it to feel like submitting an entry to a contest, just like you would with any contest. Some may say that this would lead to a clusterf**k; but again, I prefer a clusterf**k over next to zero activity. But you know, this is a community, it's about having fun, we shouldn't take it too seriously, and having lots of entries means more activity. It's also a chance for everyone to join the contest. As it is now, only a handful of Untergangers watch each others work and nominate each other. Self-nominations opens the door to any person who makes parodies to get a chance to be discovered. And since the winners are announced on Stacy's channel, it basically means that any Unterganger has a chance to get promoted and get more views + subs. Of course I don't know if it would change anything, maybe there still wouldn't be many nominations. In order to avoid crappy parodies winning, we can have a team of judges if you wish, we can have criteria, rules and so on - meaning that in order for a parody to win, it must qualify. This would make sure that there is a certain quality in the winning parodies. If so - suggest what kind of criteria you wish to see. But, like I said in the start; this is a democratic contest. Let me know how you feel about these suggestions, and if you have any ideas - write them down! Update How about that if you wanna nominate your own parody, you must also nominate at least one other by somebody else? (Not necessarily in the same category). Let's say you wanna nominate your series, then maybe you can nominate someone else's parody for "Most innovative" for example. This would mean that people would still have some "pressure" on them to nominate others work as well May, June & July During July I will create a new system (or keep the old one, depending on how people respond), but in the meantime I will open another thread so you can vote for parodies uploaded in May, June and July (since Ben didn't finish May/June, so to say). On the 31st of July, I will close the voting, and upload a result video shortly after on both mine and Stacy's channel. On the 1st of August I will open a new thread; but then according to the new rules (if any). So during July all will continue as usual. Remember that May/June-parodies can also be nominated, and all current votes from the May-thread will also be counted. Last but not least, I would like you all to answer these questions; what would make YOU nominate more parodies? What does it take for YOU to be more interested in the contest? And; what changes would you like to see? Do make sure to read here s1.zetaboards.com/downfallparodies/topic/5525970/1/ to see what people say on the other forum too.
