A call to nominating voters
Greetings to voters of all ages, genders, nationalities and IQ levels.
As I appealed to the editors at the start of the previous round, so I would appeal to you at the start of this round.
Please remember: your votes are what makes this contest work. They are also what makes this contest sometimes not work.
I encourage everyone to think for a bit about what a vote in any particular category means. It's a vote for a video that excels in a certain respective area of AMVing. It is not a vote for a video which you want to win a prize, and don't care what prize (as long as, you say, it wins something just cause it's an awesome video).
Even more so, I encourage everyone to try and actually download all the nominees before making a call (and that should go without saying).
So, look at the category first, consider what it means, and then vote for videos. Not the other way around.
***
This should be common sense, but it's starting to dawn on me that, perhaps, it isn't as common as it ought to be.
Vote responsibly.

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…

Yeah I think these instructions should be posted on the final voting page.

The question would be what percentage of the would be perpetrators would actually take the time to read that?

Even if one or two would, I'd consider it a great success

No, I full-well realize the relative futility of this, but I still have some hope that reason and democracy can go hand in hand.

Wow, I wish I had your faith in humanity. I've come to assume that people-in-general are either really stupid or don't care. Possibly both.
But well said, and here's hopin'. *thumbs-up* I'll be downloading the stuff I haven't seen yet tomorrow, most likely. (I know, I should've done it last time, but I didn't vote in every category before. Just the ones in which I knew a lot of the entrants.)
Anyway. Well said.
