Ah well, it's something we'll have to agree to disagree with in that case.

Like I say, there's nothing wrong with experimentation. Why not give members a try at voting for Spotlight. I seriously doubt we'd make a drastically bad choice.
Well, that kind of eliminates the purpose of it. Then we would know all the competition and have downloaded all the parks... thus taking away from the showcase of the park and runner-ups.

But that's just me.

Actually John, that's a very good point - and one that I foolishly neglected to think of. Maybe one way to get around that would be for Iris to invite a panel of randomly selected judges to download and judge each park, then choose a winner.

I really liked the five panel judging setup used in Hi Rollers. It should be iris, Raven, NE staff writer, Coaster Ed, and mantis. Pretty knowledgeable panel... but iris is usually right...

What is this? A tea party?

Back to the flaming!

On a side note, I do have something to add to this:

A dictatorship is not something that is hypothetically a good thing because it gives an individual or a group of individuals unchecked power...IE Saddam, Hitler, Dan, etc. iris has that kind of power but he doesn't abuse it and therefore I don't mind. He listens to the members and talks to basically all of them. He even posts threads that say "what should I do next" or "what do you think of this" etc... some of the members here just aren't the kind of people you'd want voting on a spotlight or selecting a parkmaker, etc.

Besides, you can flame iris, and he'll just flame you back.

Whereas, at DNet, or rct2.com, or Facist Germany, you'd get banned.

Doc, I think lots of stuff is run here democratically.
H2H2, Park Wars, Survivor, Quest for the Best, etc.
Some stuff isn't though, like Spotlights, Runner Ups, and The List (which is just my personal top 50 parks...wouldn't make much sense to have "my personal top 50 parks voted by everyone"...since it wouldn't be "my personal")

And no, Im not the only judge of these contests.
Different parkmakers will cycle judging duties throughout the mini contests, and then we will have a panel of 5 judges once again to vote on the winner. Not exactly a dictatorship imo, but I do see your point.

Now...
You're all banned.

Ok, you have some fair points there (especially the last line )

I've said my piece, but I'm not one to disrespect those in authority, so GO IRIS

LMAO... I feel so violated. How dare you insult me like that... I mean, come on, confidence IS way different than arrogance.

I mean, I am on such a lower level compared to Kumba, he EVEN HAS the BEST triple interlocking corkscrews EVER!!
HOW can I beat that?

I'd say I'm roughly 40% done with my first entry. But the question is, what weekly entry is it for?
