Hairstyle Contest winners announced!

And remind me not to hire you when it comes to a task that requires following simple instructions. I also don't think you're understanding the meaning of the word "fact".

The fact that they had to restate the instructions AT ALL means they weren't clear enough from the start, what do you not get about that.

[Rizzelz]

Some of you folks have an issue with taking responsibility. What was your rush in voting before reading the instructions completely and carefully? You had nearly a week to digest that information and vote.

Do you read the terms of service to the game completely and carefully every time you play? Didn't think so. The majority of people don't because it's usually the same general idea. You are presented with a contest, you read the post for the most part because a lot if it is pretty boring and you want to get to the good part (looking at all the new possible hairs for your character to wear). So you generally read through, "yada yada yada" typical voting stuff I've voted on stuff before, I can handle it. You get there, are put with a layout that gives you multiple voting options, you vote. Fawn over your favorite for awhile, pick the ones you hope don't win and then you leave and go eat food or something.

In your world a multi-page TOS document is the same general idea as a few lines of contest instructions?

Really?

You are presented with a contest, you read the post for the most part because a lot if it is pretty boring and you want to get to the good part (looking at all the new possible hairs for your character to wear).

Again, it was a few lines of instructions. You're trying to pretend like it was some wall-of-text worthy of "TLDR" responses. And do you know what an intelligent person would consider the "good part"? It would be the part that instructs them on how to actually help pick a winning hairstyle.

So you generally read through, "yada yada yada" typical voting stuff I've voted on stuff before, I can handle it.

This is you not taking responsibility for making assumptions about a process you ultimately didn't understand. That's on you.

It seems you can't follow simple instructions either...

Because all the "SE screwed us" comments aren't posts "aimed to create a negative impact on the community or its members"? Don't be a hypocrite.

If your "simple" instructions are so bad that only half of the units worked and you had THOUSANDS of workers on it, then your instructions weren't quite so simple, were they?

Or, I had thousands of workers that were incapable of following simple instructions because they either a) didn't bother reading them at all, b) didn't bother reading them completely/carefully, or c) having something in common with a sack of hammers. Can't fault the instructions in those cases.

If you actually read my posts earlier, you can read that I do admit the fact that I did not read through the instructions completely every single day it was out.
And my point was, not everyone is going to read through every single little thing they read when they already have the general idea on what its about, i think something as important as "your last vote is the only one that counts" should be somewhere big and obvious.

From the very start

Edit: Psst. This is just for the funny. Don't take it seriously. :>

[Ashelia_Ferron]

For me, I didn't see ANY instructions. I saw a post that linked to a female voting thread, I went there and there were a bunch of pictures. The instructions for voting were on a completely separate post that I hadn't seen until about 5 minutes ago.

And holy crap, this.

I usually go straight to forums, not the lodestone. Someone made a post saying voting has begun and posted direct links to the finalist pages. I voted that way. I didn't see the post with the rules until two days after

[Yarukiba]

Idk if someone bothered to count them like this but here, see by yourself :

The samurai hairstyle #9 lost 1983 votes (48.76 %), that's almost HALF of the votes it had.
The entry #11 lost 2181 votes (56.53 %), it's MORE than half of the total votes it had.
The actual winner and entry #23 lost only 1195 votes (32.32 %), it's way less than half of the votes.

Results ? It just proves the actual winners shouldn't have won the 1st place. IF the rules were that clear, then it doesn't make sense at all to see that many cancelled votes. SE should have changed their rules, that's all.

As soon as I read the "only your last like counts" I knew people would mess it up and tried to warn them but I didn't think that it would be 50%...
