The First: MOC Contest Results (BIONICLE Canon Contest #1)

There’s an implication in your statement that implies it was created as a meme

Either way, Double’s MOC was excellent, and I’m glad it won. Congratulations.

exactly this lol. this was more than expected, it was practically promised once it was accepted in the top 6.
Ah well, the fan creations for bendy were amazing, especially some of the artwork. Bendy was fun while she lasted. RIP

Imagine being so elitist that you can’t see that people voted for #6 because they genuinely wanted to win. That kind of attitude is extremely toxic for a community.

Everyone who needed to? I mean all respect to double if this is legit, but the window for response was small and I’m sure some people who joined from outside may not have checked back on the site after voting.

It takes a good while for an email address that is deleted to be fully removed from the system, and even then, there’s a difference between a false email, and a deleted email.

A false email never existed to begin with, a deleted email would exist for a longer periods of time.

Ask the mods, they may be willing to add it back, assuming it was removed at all.

When I say that, I’m saying just about everyone who was PMed in either this round or last did respond to us and clarified the situation about being dupes or not. The amount of people who didn’t respond can be counted on one hand. They weren’t enough to swing a vote for or against any entry.

Again why was it such an emphasis on anti bendy supporters being sore losers earlier when everyone who voted bendy lashes out now?

But in all seriousness bendy voters calm down, the vetting wasn’t rigged and I have faith in that TTV vetted everything fairly considering all entries except for one had fradulent accounts.

Bendryx is not just a meme. The creater of bendryx herself said it was not a joke entry. Just because you do not see it fit to be the winning entry, does not give you the right to put down her hard work, and the commitment of all the people that supported her.

Well, yeah, poll once was vetted alongside polls nueve and diez. Of course it took longer.

Kudos to our new Helryx! This contest was a blast to take part in, and I loved seeing all the different interpretations of the character. Can’t wait for the next MOC contest! :smile:

I am suspicious, considering that Once took longer despite having less votes by a third.
@Noone It looks good, yes, but to me this is more an issue of transparency.

Moderators that have a stake in the vote then vetting the vote, vetting it faster despite taking longer for less votes last time, stating that they sent out PMs, yet apparently “everyone who needed to respond back to (us) via PM did respond”.

@ProfSrlojohn That does make sense, yes, but if you expect me to believe that 71 votes were eliminated because of false emails and duplicate IPs, I am hard pressed, especially considering that the actual methods are unknown, and the list of voters vetted cannot even be determined because it does not show us.

@Tarkur Perhaps it is because one camp was complaining about an entry that still followed the rules, and advocating for the changes to the contest simply to get rid of it. While the other is actively worried that the moderators might have changed the votes to support what they themselves voted for.

Despite how I wanted 4 to win I actually was looking forward to drawing Hoseryx.

Just to clarify so I don’t misunderstand you: are you saying the 400+ votes were out of support for the build, and not the meme?

That’s because we had three topics that time all with 700+ votes each. and we split it up, one person to a topic. We had three people for one final topic.

Interesting results, congrats to not only the winner but to those who were in the final round. Glad to see it all go through. Can’t wait for the art to pop in! Was fun taking a peek into a Bionicle thing since forever, and I’ll probably interact in the art portion. Cheers everyone

@Eljay Please confirm if my vote was discarded or kept. I signed up with a disposable e-mail purely for security and privacy reasons and voted for Entry 6.

I mean, in my response to the guy above, some people use fake addresses for personal security, and they may have had their votes accidentally tossed out. So, that may have inflated the numbers, especially if we had people coming who didn’t know what TTV was, and wanted to protect themselves.
