Just seems unfortunate that some people vote for a "studio" rather than the video.
They vote for names they recognize to save time or whatever.
I don't know how to generate more interest than average in my announcements and opinions (i.e. constructive criticism) is more difficult to come by anymore.
I've been a part of this community for almost six years and feel like I have yet to be noticed in spite of the people who recognize me at the conventions.
*sigh*
I dunno...

I was kinda of curious about this, so I made a note of stats just as the VCA started. Views are all methods (local, preview, direct, etc) combined:

Pickled Penis (was in semi-finals, didn't make it to final)
When VCA's started: Right now:
898 hits 1010 hits
114 stars 170 stars
3.73 star average 3.66 star average
177 views 245 views

DSM-IV 295.3 (was in semi-finals, not finals)
Before: Now
1019 hits 1122 hits
133 stars 173 stars
3.62 star average 3.5 star average
194 views 246 total views

Longed for him. Got him. Shit. (made it to finals)
Before: When finals started Now
878 hits 1068 hits 1214 hits
127 stars 156 stars 196 stars
4.02 star average 4.02 star average 4.02 star average
(A note on star average, it did fluctuate some. Between 4.0 and 4.3 IIRC. Just happened to be the same each time I recorded it)
131 total views 295 total views 369 total views


For comparison sake, during the same time a video not in the VCAs at all (Is it too late to jump on the shinkai train.prproj) gained 10 hits, 1 star, no change in star average, and two views.

I'll leave it to someone else to draw conclusions from any of this, other than the obvious conclusion that even with VCA's, I could get more people to view my video if I put it on the shitass local cable channel at 4am.

Well, before we finalize everything it looks like we need to break two tie votes! This is actually the first tie votes we've had in the VCAs since 2007.

We close the vote runoff 11:59am March 10th. Click here to go to the vote runoff page, and break our tie!

Okay, voted.

NOW WHERE'S MY FREE COOKIE!!

Vote for mirko, people!

I voted Mirko. Ileia has helped me before but Mirko was more helpful last year (especially with a certain remaster project - WHAT UP).

You heard the lady, mirkosp for most helpful!

That's absolutely amazing that there's two ties - either some astronomical odds at play or some woefully low vote totals.

Its even more amazing that Ileia is involved in both of them.

Maybe that means someone should break her tie! :badpun:
