I love you guys

Someone takes this shit way too seriously. Treat this as the joke it is, the same as any other popularity contest.-Good for Nothing- wrote:the downfall of the majority in the amv community becomes quite apparent in this, even more than in the last year's vca's.

I would love to see the stats, but I'm personally rather convinced the numbers on the nomination stage are much smaller than we assume. I venture to say that a fairly small circle of consistent votes is enough to tip the scales in favour of that or other video. Likewise, I don't think anyone can argue that the .org scene is neutral and impartial - I'm as guilty as anyone else of being with the scene as anyone else. But it does explain many surprising or unreasonable choices.Scintilla wrote:Please.

I don't, by the way, think that videos that get nominated this way are bad or anything. But FANBOYISM and CIRCLEJERK certainly account for a large number of nomination 'surprises'.
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

(a number of AKROSS videos keep getting through over the years in no little part thanks to an active and populated Russian AMVing community that is not very vocal on the .org)
