DoogyRev Posted November 20, 2013 Author Posted November 20, 2013 I number all the pics so you can't see the name from the image source, but Dan is correct most people know who everyones cars are and therefore who submitted them. Quote
KyleR Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 I've made an entry, so I personally want to see how my car weighs up against the other options for the given month. However a surprise or two would be nice, providing they are my car Seriously though, if it's polled then no one can complain about the picture choices and Jim can't get any @*!# for it. Quote
GMballistic Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 I number all the pics so you can't see the name from the image source, but Dan is correct most people know who everyones cars are and therefore who submitted them. Shouldn't matter though as long as people just vote for the best car picture for the particular month, ..as it shouldn't just be some sort of a popularity contest. 1 Quote
Ekona Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 It always is though. I can think of four months last year where the popular forum member won over the better pic. There is no easy way around it, apart from getting me to choose the pics as that's the only way I'll be satisfied (!), however Jim has shown excellent vision in how the calendar is put together and I trust his decision implicitly.

ChrisS Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Unfortunately it's a fact of life that you can not please everyone. Some will shout favouritism.Some will shout fix.Some will say mine is better than bla bla bla..... Hence Jim should choose. (then we can all blame him :lol: ) Quote
Ekona Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 I would actually be very comfortable with that. Jim knows his stuff, has a good eye and can separate friendships from what is best for the greater good. Quote
Neilp Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) I would actually be very comfortable with that. Jim knows his stuff, has a good eye and can separate friendships from what is best for the greater good. You're just saying that because your car isn't on it I agree it has become somewhat of a friends voting for friends contest but I do however think it should still be a poll. I would urge people to vote for the nicest photos rather than there mates car. Edited November 20, 2013 by Neilp Quote

glrnet Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 I have to say that every time I have voted it has been on the merits of the photograph and NOT whose car was in the picture, I want to see a calender with great photos NOT with photos of cars of people I happen to know, I just don't understand why anyone would vote in any other way.

LRF4N Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Yep iv always voted for better pics than my friends cars. Sorry Neil.... Your last photos were pants Quote
LRF4N Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Hows about..... Make it a poll cos that gets everyone involved including non zed owners like me.... But keep the results hidden so it's still a surprise would that work? 1 Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 · Hidden by glrnet, November 20, 2013 - offensive to bob Hidden by glrnet, November 20, 2013 - offensive to bob Poll for as many months as possible, surprise for the cover (so long as it's not Octets 70) But on the other hand, if someone has submitted a very very themed photo for say… Christmas, that involves several scantly clad females elves, that would be a nice surprise and screw anyone else who submitted for December So does that mean I can't vote for Buster's Chavmobile?

Mrs Buster Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Let Jim do it ... it would be nice if he then put up a thread with all the submmissions and we can judge whether he did a good job this year and revert back to poll next year if he didn't Quote

Neilp Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) I think the fact the poll was put up to decide and by the looks of it the people on here have voted. We should go with what the poll says. Edited November 20, 2013 by Neilp Quote

DoogyRev Posted November 20, 2013 Author Posted November 20, 2013 I'll be round in July I was just waiting for you to comment Quote
DoogyRev Posted November 21, 2013 Author Posted November 21, 2013 I will, trust me! Well its a good job all your photos are going for vote!! Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) i'll be looking forward to vote for 4 specific cars: RTBiscuit's, Ekona's, Coldel's and SpursMaddave's Edited November 21, 2013 by octet 1 Quote

Keyser Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Not saying that any of those cars don't deserve to be on there, but only if the pic merits it. Again, a good shot of a stock DE would be better than a dull pic of the green beastie, no offence meant Keyser. Perhaps a rule that if you were in the last calendar, you won't be considered for this one? Keeps it fresh and stops the same people being in it every year. None taken, I was in it twice last year so I have not entered any this year - give someone else a chance I'm with Neil - Vote for the pic not ya mate Although I'm also happy for Jim to pick and make it a surprise Quote
