¤3¥2    ABOUT VOTING¥1¤1


I just looked  through Vanish's latest
trackmo.  In the end of this demo ¤2Navy
of Vanish¤1 tells us his opinions  about
voting.
  He  writes this: ¤2"In my opinion only
graphicians  should be chosen  to be a
part of a jury for  gfx-compos because
at least only those who know how  hard
it  is  to  draw  pictures  can really
judge.     Same  for  music-  or  demo
competitions!¤1

¤9Hey! Isn't that just bullshit?!¤1 Aren't
the eyes  of a coder  or a sysop  good
enough  to judge a picture? Aren't the
ears of a swapper or a graphician good
enough to recognize a good tune?  I do
think so.
ð
The main  goal of a gfx-competition is
not to decide  which  picture that was
hardest to draw.  No, the main goal is
to  select the ¤2best¤1  picture.   Right?
  And  who is  actually counted  as  a
graphician? The guy who  paints a logo
every  second  week  without releasing
anything. Is he a graphician?
  Or is it everybody that claims to be
one? Maybe only the twenty best in the
Eurochart? 
  Face it, it's impossible to decide.

¤6But,  let's just imagine that the jury
consists of the twenty best  according
to the Eurochart. Then they can't take
part in the  competition!    Or do you
actually  mean that a guy (or a girl!)
could both be a member of the jury and
take part in the competition?!?  Sure,
twenty  guys  voting  for  themselves!¤1
(Note.   I do  think that  most of the
graphicians  are  honest,  but  I know
Ð
what  money means to  a poor  computer
owner.)
  And  after  the  competition  people
would say about  the winner:  ¤5"Sure he
won. He was a part of the jury!"¤1
  Not very funny  for the perhaps well
deserved winner!

¤6By the way.   Who do you  think should
vote for the demo competition?¤1

I have nothing  personally against you
Navy,  but  I  think you  should think
twice before writing something stupid.
  Please  defend  yourself;   write an
article and we'll publish it!
