Tallying the scores for this contest was a bit more diffcult after I included the rule that entrants who entered could not vote for themselves. Therefore, here's how I did the scoring.

For voters who did not enter the contest and voted for the 6 entrants:

First Place: 9 points
Second Place: 8 points
Third Place: 7 points
Fourth Place: 5 points
Fifth Place: 3 points
Last Place: 2 points

For voters who did enter the contest and voted for 5 entrants:

First Place: 9 points
Second Place: 7 points
Third Place: 5 points
Fourth Place: 3 points
Last Place: 2 points

Here are the results from your votes, ladies and gentlemen:

First Place: King Spoom (33)
Second Place: Altoecko (32)
Third Place: Gnasher (24)
Fourth Place: Bonanza (21)
Fifth Place: Lantis (19)
Last Place Ixzion (17)


King Spoom, you are the winner of the second Haiku contest! Please Pm me within 48 hours for two topics to be included in the next contest!

Now for my final comments:

A few you have told me that you have not tried to enter these haiku contests because you have little or no creativity or some other undisclosed reason. My mission as the Creativity moderator is to spice up this forum so that it gets as much traffic as the general discussion forum. I am all ears for suggestions from Magonians and the Mag staff on ways to help make C+++ better. If you feel that haikus are not the only poetry form that should be included, I can revise the contest and make it simply a "Poetry Contest" where any poetry form is accepted. Free verse is quite the popular form in this contemporary world, and I don't want you Magonians to feel intimidated by this contest. I want you to use your creative minds and have fun with it. :)

I want to sincerely thank Genji-boy for suggesting that we hold a bi-monthy music contest. Still, though, I have yet to see any entries other than the one I produced and submitted last night. There are only three days left, and if no one else enters, I'm not sure this suggestion will have staying power in this forum.

I would also like to thank Goten (a.k.a. Fayorei) for her suggesting of her weekly Friday drawing idea. The drawings look very nice, and if this idea does happen to grow over the next couple weeks, I'll sticky it. However, if you believe I should do it differently, please post here after I have posted this topic.

I would personally like to hear from you Magonians how I am doing in my duties as a moderator in this forum as well. I am old enough and mature enough to take any criticism thrown at me. Thank you for your time, and once again, Congratulations to King Spoom for winning the 2nd Haiku contest.

I only voted for 5 because I didn't want to include myself in the roster, I think this may have been the same for a lot. I don't think this should detract from who our second place is though. Next time should we put ourselves as 6th even though it's implied? If there were 6 participants besides myself I would have voted for 6.

I'll try to see advice from Enelya. She always used to do these kinds of contests, and I'll see how she did the scoring.

I started those contests and she just used the scoring system I had in place when she took over. 1st got 5 points, 2nd got 4 points, 3rd got 3, etc. But you had to fill out all the slots available to you and you couldn't vote for yourself. Plus you couldn't win if you didn't vote.

^So, if more people entered, how would the scoring be then, Mitch?

Still only 5 rankings. If you don't make it on the rankings, sorry, you don't get any points.


Though if you want everyone to be scored, just have it based off however many entrants there are, first place gets that many points second place gets one less, etc.
