I mean in this moment there are several critics that could also do the job in case S.A. Robert couldn't like Squall(c), Trampler, even the same Aggressor could also do it
I picked him because I feel he has viewed a lot more AMVs from all over as compared to other Russian editors. Thus, I feel he would have a huge variety with his opinions/thoughts as compared... to others from the Russian community.

On one hand: this is a contest happening in this community. Why should people that aren't a part of this community be expected to be involved in it at all? Why should they even want to be?
/doesn't understand

On the other hand: Since this whole thing doesn't start until there's already a semi-finalist list, nobody involved should have any excuse not to watch every single video before voting, so how much you've seen up until this point isn't really an issue. As long as they're not coming in with the intent of nationalist/studio/etc. block voting up everything (i.e. they have integrity), they it really doesn't matter who the judges are, where they're from, etc.

When you get down to brass tacks, that's all this nomination is - you're listing some people you feel have integrity as judges. Unless, of course your motives aren't pure - in that case you're just looking for someone that'll favor you or your personal favorites... shit - just like real voting in elections :uhoh:

YES, I agree they should participate on org in some way! I do not feel they should have to tell us how they feel in the vent section. But if they are on the site, looking around, and even commenting on AMVs then they are involved. ='3

Well that's what happens with Robert, the guy is only interested in the AMV Announcements section as the rest of critics participate there. It depends of what the meaning of belonging to the org covers

That's good reasoning, but then we don't know if they're actually involved in the site, making it hard to really pick them with confidence. A nice post in this thread saying "Hey! I watch AMVs and have great critique status and here are the reasons why" would be all the verification I'd personally need.

EDIT: By the way, when's the VCA start anyway?

But what about the activity in other sites like amvnews?
I mean in amvnews there are critics that have previously watched several clips that were announced first there and after here, they haven't participated that much here, but they have already reviewed lots of the videos announced here. And in the opposite direction: Clips that were premiered here that went to amvnews.

S.A. Robert definitively is the boss there since all the clips premiered there have been previously reviewed by him. That's why I was asking if it was allowed to have comments also in other languages, because if you let him do that, it will be easier for him to do the job.

lol and now I seem like a russian fan, I'll stop now until the russians make a comment in the thread.

I was going to post about myself since I belong to ZA, AKROSS and the org, but no self nominations. It's the people who decide after all :3

We could avoid the drama if we just let the random video link thing pick the best videos :D
