Vote away!

Why did you have no voting limit? Would it make more sense to have it be 5 or maybe 10? Seems weird and would make results wonky.

I thought it would produce more realistic results. If I really like 15 then it wouldn't be accurate to only name 10. Let's take a vote on the voting limit. Just kidding. Should I change the limit to 10?

It's a cool idea, but I think you should limit the number of votes, whether it be 10, 15, 20.  I think the results will mean more if a reasonable lower limit is imposed.

I agree. Top 10 for each person.

I reset the vote count to 0 but it didn't give me the option to change anything. So I guess we're stuck with it the way it is. Nothing wrong with that. Why would anybody vote for a sticker they didn't like? My apologies to those who voted but you'll need to vote again.

Let's vote for all your favorites. Not just your top ten. The list will tell us what the top ten titles are as well as all other favorites. If you have 18 favorites then what's the point of leaving off 8?

This is a big series. Limiting your choice to just 10 out of 80 titles seems unreasonable.

There should be the option for you to change this. I just edited it for 10 items per person. Since I'm the admin I have this option but I thought it was available to the person that setup the poll. I just checked it out and for some reason there isn't an option to set how many people can choose. Only the admin has this available. I changed this one so in the future if you want this changed just send me a PM.

But I thought Mark didn't want the voting limited?  I'm going to wait to vote, I think.

Sorry Mark. I didn't read this. If you want me to change it back its fine. The problem if you allow people to have too many votes is it really screws with the actual results because someone would pick 10 and someone would pick 50. While others could pick all 80. You really wouldn't get a good gauge as to what is really special in this series with too many votes. Something to think about. Just let me know if you want this changed back from 10 picks.

You can also look at the results as a thumbs up or thumbs down for every title. I want to know what collectors like overall, not just their top 10. Please set it to no limit. The top 10 will present themselves no matter what.

Also I have it set so you can change your votes anytime. I think this is important because some of your favorites may change as you get to know the series.

I was waiting until the rules were set.  Also want to flip through my binder again before voting - sounds like something to do while waiting for the Old School 2 pre-sale tonight!

Jason Edmiston did it. He's new to Wacky Packs. Grape Newts is pretty amazing. He also did Rat Guard and Clunky. They're sharp but they don't look Wacky enough.

I agree they might be missing the "Humor" side of things, but for Newts it really works for me.

I really like the 3 he did.  Tons of detail in there.  I had Jeff Zapata do my ANS7 sketch as a Grape Newts because I liked it so much.

I'll chime in and say that Grape Newts was my favorite from the series.  Have you ever posted a scan of the sketch Jeff made for you?

Yes I did, I posted all 4 of my sketches in one of the ANS7 threads, but I'm not sure which one off the top of my head.

23 voters seems remarkably small considering the size of membership. Are there only about 23 active members at this time?
Title: Re: ANS 7 Voting Poll
Post by: Playbug on December 09, 2010, 07:33:21 PM
Just voted. Can't believe I am just now seeing this thread for the 1st time. How is this possible? No need for me to look over the titles, I have done that a lot already on many occasions. I picked the 1st titles that came to mind when examining the list and that was a number of 23 titles overall. Now I'm gonna check out the tallys. I like the no limit voting, I agree that it makes for a better guage because nothing is being left out. If you like a certain title, it will definately make the cut. The top 5, 10 or whatever will rise to the top no matter what anyway. Let's see how this pans out after many more forum member votes are in.  :great:

I missed this thread too. Seems like only so many show up when I select "Show unread posts since last visit" ? Maybe it's because I skipped this once and had to wait until new posts on it. Anyway, there seem to be hundreds of threads sometimes. :)

Yes, I don't know how I missed it, I would of definately voted a lot sooner. I thought I knew how to navigate through this forum pretty well, but I guess I am still figuring it out.  :-\

Long as we haven't moved on to another series yet, thought I'd give this thread a bump. Keep in mind you can add and change your votes. Don't just vote your top 5 or 10. Vote for all the titles you like. We'll figure out the top 10 from the final results.

Wonder if we could get a tally of WHO voted so far?

Seconded. I Googled the artist, Jason Edmiston, last night. He's got some eye-popping stuff out there on the internet. My favorites included all three of his. (Three, right?)

Okay. Thanks. The Blabbermouth bottle is sure well-rendered. The verbal gags are well-thought-out. I even like the old-school, rough quality of the press-type at the bottom (anyway it looks like press-type.) But one question: why is Mrs. Blabbermouth pointing to her thumb??? (Wait - is she "telling everyone how many pancakes you ate (five pancakes)"? ...All in all, a favorite.

He doesn't write the gags. Only paints.
He painted five more for ANS8.

He has a lot of painting talent so it really doesn't matter if he came up with the gag.
Look at the Topps auctions, they are selling the original sketches and from what I have seen they are all Jay Lynches.

I love the result when Jason tackles one on my concepts, like Blabbermouth's. Not only does he have amazingly slick skills, but I can be a control freak and he generally sticks to the script!
