[Time to Sleigh]

So here is how the scoring will be scored

12 points to your favourite performance all the way to 1 for your favourite performance.

Also everyone will get three killer votes each to use throughout the series. If you use this on someone's performance they will lose 2 points! Could be crucial. But you only get to do this three times through the series

[The Human Santapede]

Jake, I guess we don’t rate ourselves.

Also, there’s 14 of us? Do you mean we score from 13 (for our fave) to 1 (for our least fave). Or are we only scoring 12 of the 13 other competitors?

When do we use these? While scoring or after?

Yes sorry 13 to 1 and no you don't score yourselves and obviously this will be sent to me via pm so that it all stays anonymous

Same time as you send the scores via pm to me. Use them wisely however...

I'll be scoring on how your song choice fits the dance you have, And how much effort I think you've put in in coming up with that song. And does it entertain me.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Who is scoring the songs?

We the contestants are. I think.

That's correct isn't it Jake?

But none of us know who each others celebs are. So we won’t know who we’re giving the points to.

Oh ffs Nicky put your toys back in the pram. What a massive and ungrateful slap in the face for Jake just because you have a bee in your bonnet about scoring. It's a lot fairer and efficient than forum polls which don't receive much response let's be honest. Well done on the game sabotage before it's even started. Very sad!

Jake has invested time and hard work creating this for us all and you repay him by walking. You need to reconsider pretty damn sharpish.

I despair of you. Plus it's the absolute opposite of any possible rigging as Ben said we won't know who we are giving our points allocations to.

no?

could've also used the old judges system for the shows


and then, with the bottom two results, having the judges vote through pm who they want to save and why? with honest and fair reasons


i'd reconsider if Jake would consider my idea, and i can wait for a while longer you know, i can be a patient person

To be fair I understand his concerns, but I think not knowing each others celebs will bypass the rigging.

[Nicky91]

so yes Kate, no more polls

those tend to go not very well



i have submitted something anyway




@Benjamin

you'd know whose is which, based on song tastes though? i'd rather have us just as contestants, and then judges outsiders, who are unaware who plays as who for more neutrality in scoring, critiques

No Nicky. That's outright blackmail and you know it. You're saying do it my way or I walk. Plus with 14 contestants it'd be very difficult to.find a panel of judges as well now, wouldn't it? Think about what I'm saying. You're being terribly unfair. If you don't back down I personally would ban you from raking part in any future forum games. It's totally unnecessary.

Well I’ll be impressed if any of you work out who I am based on song choice this week.

But when I come to vote I may not know all the songs but I’m going to listen to them fully and judge how well they suit the style of dance.

And also no you wouldn't necessarily know whose song was whose because we have to pick something suitable for our given dance.

A way to potentially combat any rigging (not sure how the vote out works) but out of the bottom 2 Jake chooses who to send out (since it’s his game and he’s the overall judge)

There can't possibly be any rigging though? I'll have no idea who submitted what, none of us will. It's virtually foolproof. And it wouldn't work as well for Jake to send one home of his choice given that he knows who is who? And could cause arguments if the person eliminated feels hard done by?

It was just a suggestion.

I know, you silly sausage. I just don't think Jake choosing from the bottom 2 is right. It should be the one with least votes.

Suit yourself Nicky but I'm keeping it as it is.
