1st place isn't a surprise, but 2nd and 3rd place results are a little unexpected.
After Jbird's map most of the maps were closer and tougher to evaluate.
I would have assumed gamer9294's "Abandoned Mine" would have placed 2nd or 3rd even with the darkness issues. There was a lot of thought and interesting gameplay mechanics included in that map.
There's really no way to handle it without people disagreeing on the results. If we had chosen the winners ourselves then we would have chosen differently than the results of the contest and people would be upset. And now we left it up to the community to decide and big surprise people are still upset lol.

Not upset, I'm just surprised by the results. Well I guess actually not maybe.

I realise this isn't really possible with SMF polls, but it would have been good to see a voting system in which users can vote for their top 3, rather than being limited to 1 vote.
For example. 5 users want to vote. Their favourite maps are:
(i'm just picking random maps here)
1st favourite 2nd favourite 3rd favourite User 1 Abandoned School Encampment Project Yeti User 2 Project Yeti Abandoned School Dead Palace User 3 Encampment Estate The Abandoned Mine User 4 Abandoned School Dead Palace Encampment User 5 Zombie San Cristobal Dead Palace Wayne Manor
Now, if the 5 users only have 1 vote, then the results look like this:Spoiler: click to open...
Abandoned School 2 Project Yeti 1 Encampment 1 Zombie San Cristobal 1 The Abandoned Mine 0 Wayne Manor 0 Dead Palace 0 Estate 0 [close]
If, for example, users could vote for their top 3 in order - where 3 points goes to their favourite, 2 points to 2nd and 1 point to their 3rd - then the results look like this:Spoiler: click to open...
Abandoned School 9 Encampment 6 Dead Palace 5 Project Yeti 4 Estate 2 The Abandoned Mine 1 Wayne Manor 1 Zombie San Cristobal 1 [close]
The latter table is obviously much fairer and represents users' opinions more accurately. I think something like this should be implemented into future contests.
By the way my tables don't represent my own opinion, I just picked random maps to illustrate my point

If all of those people picked Abandoned School as their first choice then it wouldnt change the results from what they already are, it would just make the other maps have higher numbers associated with them.

why are we all "suggesting changes" yet again to something thought up by the site staff here?
always "actively trying" to find some sort of problem with it?
Its their choice how they run it, and no matter how they do anything someone "suggests" something. Whats wrong with just following as its given? Is that such a problem?
Its a simple contest, you get one vote. Thats it. Its not a army movement campaign
