voting top 20 stories 2000AD

[thrillpowerseeker]

Yeah good point Watcher..I myself am guilty of 'tactical' voting(puts hands up)..but another point is if a character can only exite the votes of 10 voters does it really deserve to be up there with the Top Thrills?..maybe the required number of votes to make the chart should be increased to say 50?..I hearby publicly pledge (hand on heart)to vote in a more reflective way..though when i voted 1 for Tyranny Rex i meant it!

Yeah, the voting used to only need 5 votes to register in the top and bottom, so it's been moved up before - perhaps when Logans voting ring gets started (very, very soon), Wake might up the number of votes for stories to 'count'.  At the moment though, theres a lot of older stuff that struggles to get more than ten votes, so it might exclude a lot of stuff. Hopefully, with 20 plus members, we can get more representative scores and lessen the impact of those tactical votes, (both for and against)

'No offence intended if thats really you're opinion - but if you're giving Alan Moores best stuff that kind of vote, whats left for the real dross?'

I agree - whilst the 'Time Machine' probably wasn't the best story ever to appear in 2000AD, it certainly deserves more than 1 point.  Read it again and give it a proper, thought out vote!

I'd also advise anyone that has given the Mark Millar Robo Hunter stories and Michael Fleisher Rogue Trooper more than a '1' or '2' to think again - I know some of the art is bearable but the plot, characterisation and dialogue deserve negative values...

there are some characters that deserve high votes (as they are cool characters)

but then as the 'body' of their stories is not very good or has been handled by poor writers who just want to do their own thing and use the 'character' to pass off the story - they dont really deserve to be in the top 20 as an example of teh galaxys greatest comics greatest work

satanus needs two more votes to get in by the way - and we have some new entries in the creators poll (cliff robinson, simon bisley, frank quitely, petere milligan and so on)

the 1983 dredd annual cover only needs 1 more vote to become the best special cover ever

[thrillpowerseeker]

I see Dredd has dropped down to second behind....wait for it...straight in at number 1...give it up for Scarlet traces...

[stront692]

woah - i was just gonna say that???

[thrillpowerseeker]

Great minds eh

[stront692]

heh

slaines nearly gone by the way guys, mills better do something (quick???)

I'm doing my voting as part of my re-read up to Prog2000 last week and read a few more over the weekend, slow task but I'd rather be accurate. Don't vote on specific characters or creators yet wait till I'm up to date to start those. all my votes are honest and I find there in the 5 to 7 range for what I'd call good stories, ones I really like get an 8 or a 9, 10's reserved only for absolute favs. I've given very few 1 or 2 as nothing has been that dire yet(maybe Soul Gun assasin got a 1). I find myself giving out a lot of 6's.

After setting up the Yahoo group to help Squaxx vote on all the sections of the 2000 website this is the guide to voting I've included in the first newsletter due to go out this week. With the number of members and people who dont want to join the group but want me to e-mail them privately hopefully we'll see some other stories, covers and creators appearing in the top 20 lists.

How come I can vote for Judge Dredd, Torquemada as characters, but not Mek Quake, Ro-Jaws etc.

It's criminal creeps!

[stront692]

id rather vote for art and writing separately on stories,
i find it really hard when i like the art but story or run at that time was not very good etc

or if i like the story/character but the art seems rushed
