Now there’s a cap on submissions, but posting Enemies gives you as little money as usual and the voting continues as cutthroat as ever. (The only time I actually got a enemy name approved was when I stopped trying to relate them to the board’s subject and started making videogame references.) Is this feeling shared? |

yeah, its really competitive, i think because its easier to vote on – folks don’t have to read and think about how awesome it is. its all first impressions and if it made you chuckle |

Agreed. Look at the scoreboard right now. Down to 25 already and they keep going down. |

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

And now that we know, builder score can go down (far more easily than it can go up)... submitting enemies is a bad gamble. Low stakes if u win high stakes if u lose.
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! |

There should be no penalty in buildr score for submitting enemies, or something like that.
Perhaps the penalty should be lessened for certain categories, and the benefits for the others be raised. |

I think it’s a fools errand trying to come up with urbane sophisticate names that would appeal to an, apparently, Adam Sandler fanbase. |

Yes using witty names that acually had to do with the board still get a nice amount of votes for them but still get quickly shot down by the majority of players who go for the references everyone else pointed out that stay unfortantly. |

Submitting anything to the forumbuilder competition is useless unless you are in a Klan anyway. |

Uhh….my klan has 3 people in it. And I didn’t tell them I was submitting anything. I know the Sisterhood looks down upon voting collusion…don’t know about the others, though. |

I never tell anyone my submissions. I think all the sisters agree that it’s unfair to do so. Not that typical submitting to forumbuildr isn’t already unfair. Double negative, bite me. |

Same here, I dont have my klan vote for mine.
though is annoying having submissions that are good and end up with something like 10 for but 10 against. |

Klanless, and I won last week’s logo contest. Prior to that I won two style submissions.
I most likely would have won last week’s, but I submitted a tad bit too late (someone submitted a similar one right before mine), and I failed to mention the fact that my usernames were all spiffy and highlighted on mouseover in the style title.
I probably could have won YouBoob’s too, but I didn’t submit my style until about Friday and it wasn’t able to acgreat timesulate votes fast enough to beat the prior winner, despite looking a heck of a lot better, IMO. Log in to see images!
I don’t think there’s a lot of Klan voting going on (if any), but sometimes one of the losing or new entries will jump ahead by like 200% of the previous winner’s score when it doesn’t look any better than the previous entries. That always confuses me. |
