COLLECTOR JLS_Comics private msg quote post Address this user
@drchaos you are right. The rules are set in place right now and, as such, should apply to this week's contest as they are written.

If we need to make edits/changes to the rules, let's come to that agreement and amend the rule set before a contest for next week starts.

My 2 cents... This is a fun contest "FUN" lets not complicate this ie….. KISS... I'm in favor of the rule if its in a CBCS holder and it ties it wins.. if there's a double tie then first one in wins.. as for the others first one in wins is the least complicated.. the tie breaker is ok but people work & sleep if on a shift work time frame this might hinder them.. This is a fun thing to bring new covers into light for some. I personally enjoy the older golden entries, especially the obscure ones.. lets not over complicate a simple fun thing.. There's no prize for winning.. no real status.. just fun..

I like both ways, but will have to vote for the KISS method Gotlift advocated. -t

I'm kind of glad this happened because I had no idea that rule changed
The only problem I could see is everyone getting their entries in right away trying to be first and then hardly any new posts. I like seeing them added throughout the week. Either way is fine with me though

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. drchaos private msg quote post Address this user

It is always a good idea to be early as busier people may not get to page three before casting votes if they are in a rush.

On a side note, I don't think it's a good idea to clutter up the contest with, "I thought about entering one of these other cool covers". By posting other covers, you may be showing a cool cover someone else could have used that hasn't entered yet. If you want to show off more covers, why not start a new thread? Just a thought.

That's why I wait until the contest is over to share pictures. I think most people do. We usually end up with a little over one page to two pages of entries before voting begins. And that's even with some crosstalk. But it is a good thing to remember that before posting a picture on a contest thread!!!

@OGJackster and @Jesse_O - When we got rid of the tiebreaker, I thought we encouraged people to post more covers after the contest ended.

@esaravo I don't think I got that memo

@esaravo Not that I recall. But it's a nonissue with me. If it's after Wednesday noon and voting has been called for, post away!!!!

Members who have posted above state we should play this by the current rules, I just don't feel that the current rules are fair in the event of a tie. And I certainly didn't mean to complicate matters. lol

I sent @GAC a PM earlier this morning but he may be busy at work, or even asleep... who knows!

I'm going to get the new contest started here shortly, and I assume we're all good on that. And the new contest will consist of the current tie rules in the meantime - obviously.

@OGJackster and @Jesse_O - I suggested it along with the "whoever posts first" second tiebreaker idea (CBCS slab still is first tiebreaker) during week 132. Here's the link:

@esaravo Good research!! Yep, you did suggest it!!! Personally, I like the idea!! There are many weeks where I'm left trying to decide which cover to post. I like posting the ones that weren't used after the contest is done, if I remember!!

Also, I'll start another thread about the tiebreaker. I'd invite EVERYONE to speak their piece!!

It may have been more convenient for me to submit my entry than it was for @GAC - fair is fair. So if @GAC is up for it, and you folks approve, I truly feel we should have a quick tiebreaker. If you guys think I'm being overly dramatic then tell me and I'll have a new contest up and running early today. lol

What say ye all


@Pre_Coder Thank you kindly for the consideration!! All is good and great new contest theme!! I'll add my Starlin cover soon. Thanks again!!
