Shock Submitting enemy names is useless now?

I’d have thought the fact that submissions are anonymous during voting would rule out any klan rallying, but I guess I could see how it would happen anyway. (Unless I’m just very special and they aren’t anonymous somehow.)

It seems like it’s hard to get votes on enemies, because you’ve got to figure it’s the category with the least to read, which to me means there’s probably more people voting on enemies than on anything else (excluding, probably, logos and styles because there’s never a ton of submissions there.) It kind of seems hopeless unless you’ve got an idea that’s so ridiculous or relateable that everyone’s going to find it great.

Lol. Screw submitting enemy names now. I submitted a name and it got pretty immediately down-voted, didn’t get to earn any scoops or anything, and then I see a VERY similar name submitted today and it’s already at 15. Haha, lame. (and by very similar, I mean it was the same name, but with a different pic.)

If by ‘good’ you mean ‘triggering the meme receptors of the populace’, then yeah.

And, considering the theme of this entire game, that’s a valid definition of ‘good’.

Me I have fun just submitting the things specially w the madlib system. Don even care bout the flezz. imagine how nice itd be if we could just do that & have fun. Like just vote based on good/bad and don’t give any rewards that can tempt vote manipulation Log in to see images!

Same here, I mostly just make fourm titles. Only reason I’m so anal about it this week is because I’m afraid that my buildr score will be shot to hell because I made a couple enemies that apparently weren’t funny =/ (now that I think about it, my fourm titles aren’t doing so well either >_> )

“Leave it to Cleavage”

Submitting most things to forumbuildr is useless… I’ve noticed a bit of a trend: people submit in two rounds. The first round comes when the new forum is introduced every week. That’s when the community gets together and actually accomplishes things (votes yes for the good and no for the bad). Scoops abound for all, and everybody’s happy except for the idiots who weren’t funny in the first place. This tapers off and things start going somewhat negative as time goes on. Then the second wave comes a few days before the forum is released. Here is where people spam their remaining submissions and vote down on EVERYTHING they see. I’ve watched beautiful angry replies with 50+ votes up wind up with scores in the teens. I think we need to do something about this… maybe making down votes count -.5 and slightly raising the number of positives to win a scoop to balance this out?

tl;dr Two waves of posting. First is good. Second is terrible whoring. Let’s do something about it.

And speaking ex cathedra, a clan I know of has stated that collusion is frowned upon, so I’ve never attempted it.

Inflate my ovaries until they pop out of me and float away

I’m just curious if there an automatic elimination for -5, why is there not automatic acceptance for the ones with positive votes? I’m not saying make it 5… just +20 seems like more people like it rather than hate. Might reduce clutter.
