ANNOUNCEMENT:

For the ones that had their designs on time, and submitted early, Id be giving you additional 3 2 bonus marks. This is because you are considerate. I pleaded that the ones ready with their designs should submit early so we can identify the ones without designers, and re-assign them. So I inconvenienced, or pressured you into submitting early, while others take their time to perfect their work. I am referring to Irshitbey, Piresgu, and She-blayze. Thank you for putting others first. For those that have their designs but are holding back, hence making our work more difficult, continue using your wayo senses o! grin

Re: Nairaland's "The Poet" Competition Season 2 by Nobody: 4:07pm On Aug 21, 2013
How bout people like me who have just seen only just seen an unfinished graphic today?

The concept of Giving bonus points based on submission time in a contest that is supposed to judge prowess is deeply flawed...especially if you cannot prove that the contestants who are yet to submit are withholding their entries to prove difficult...and most especially when the established deadline is yet to expire...

I'm beginning to infer that the organisers are under the notion that they are doing contestants a favour judging by the flippant and in some cases outright rude wordings of their communications both on the threads and in their emails

It says a lot about a person's organisational skills if their communications to contestants continue to include sly digs and indirect verbal assaults... undecided

Oh please let me hear word. You know fully well that I am not the kind to exchange or trade words. I'd just go straight to the point. Many contestants have been complaining both online, and offline about lacking designers, or would you claim you don't know about this?

However, most contestants have their designs already. Or you don't think we can track them? If these people submit theirs, then we can re-assign other poets to their designers. This is to make everyone excel in the competition. The bonus mark of 2 points is to encourage these people that submitted, and to inspire others to submit their finished work. It is not a big deal. In the email, I also emphasized the issues that can arise such as large file size and wrong file format, which is good to address now, and not at the last minute.

You were the only contestant we changed its designer just because you mentioned it. I wont go into details, I don't like to complain, and sulk. I am more particular about productivity. So many adjustments have been done in the competition to make all the contestants satisfied, that we don't need to list. Some roles we had to adopt that a normal competition won't. I hope you know we do not have the powers to maneuver the competition? I also got limited support from the forum. This was just an idea to encourage/promote poets. No one is doing anyone any favors. We could all be somewhere sipping cold drinks, and partying but we all decided to put poetry on a pedestal. So all contestants, and organizers are doing a good job.

Still not a valid reason to give bonus points. What happens if a less impressive early submitter edges a win over a better but later contestant by 2 points?? This is a competition of wits and skill...and not of timeliness and efficiency. Therefore rewarding the latter over the former is only appropriate if you were recruiting for a receptionist.

Now back to favors, you were the only contestant we changed its designer because you just mentioned it. I wont go into details, I don't like to complain, and sulk. I am more particular about productivity. So many adjustments have been done in the competition to make all the contestants satisfied, that we don't need to list.

So all contestants, and organizers are doing a good job.

This paragraph is the very epitome of the arrogant nature I've been speaking about all this while.

I was originally assigned Centje. I was then re-assigned to a designer who I noticed what highly religious and probably incompatible with the theme I had in mind. I raised this and got reassigned...and you class this as a favour?

A favour?

Admittedly,you have done a good job so far in organizing this competition. But your assertion that you cold be having cold drinks instead of organizing is both pointless and arrogant. If you are better off relaxing with a cold drink, then by all means do so...nobody needs the unnecessary aggro of an organizer who keeps asserting that they have better things to do.

Jack, you are the most arrogant person I've ever met. Take a look at your post below, you had to say that when others were crying for designers?
jackbauersballs: I've just seen the graphic for my poem and I must admit I'm very fvcking pleased.

Centje is an absolute star no doubt.

Anyhoo, the statement about sipping cold drinks applied to both contestants, and organizers. I also said we all decided to put poetry on a pedestal, and we are all doing a good job. I am too humble to be arrogant, dear. Pick on some of the literary wizards here, you know I am gonna bore you, I am not good at trading words or writing embarassed.
