THE RESULTS ARE UP!!!

OK guys, I received the scores of Q~Girl last night and the scores of Miss L this morning.
I had to finalize my judging too and made sure all the figures added up ! ;)
Just a quick reminder about the judging part and how the whole system works.

You have been critiqued in 3 areas:

Creativity, Style and Growth & Quality.

Each area is worth 10 points, giving you a score out of 30 by each judge. All of these scores combined, will give you a final score out of 90.

The judges will also provide you with some feedback and commentary on how they scored you in these above areas.

So lets begin in order of submission:

Feedback: The clarity in your pictures is much better this time round. Your sim definitely has the "usual" characteristics of a Dutch girl but she bares a resemblance to your initial sim. You've covered the wooden shoes aspect of the challenge, it would have been nice to see some flowers as well though. Overall, a good entry. Smile

Look, I do not mind if you decide to create a theme for your challenge, but please incorporate our chosen theme into this as well. Yes we said Dutch sim, but we also requested dutch folk costume. This is my last little talk to you, next time it's a boot up the bum (warning).

Feedback: Ninja, I hate myself for the score I have given you but let me explain why. You have covered the flowers and wooden shoes part of this challenge, but she is not in Dutch folk costume. I can see you have tried to be creative here, but we really need her to be in something that resembles a Dutch folk costume. Otherwise, your pictures and choice of poses are lovely as always.

That's the scores guys and the winner of the 2nd assignment is... lurk

JKAmaryllis !!!!! cheers

Actually I wasn't trying to twist the challenge or whatsoever. I don't have anything nor did I find anything that could be resembled as a dutch costume from my 17th century intended dutch sim. That's why I went with another aproach. Maybe if I used some tulips on her skirt your opinion might be different? Who knows... You punished me harshly on my creativity score and I must disagree with you. Perhaps you could add another judging category, one that evaluates the current challenge goal.

Anyways the scores are up and I'm not pleased. I'll do better next time.

Ditto.

I can understand what you're saying Sergio, but the assignment was about Dutch folk costume. It's only fair in my opinion, to judge you on this.
I'm glad though, you take it this way, by saying: "I'll do better next time". Smile

Btw you had the highest score I gave this round, on creativity ;)

Anyways I think you all did great on the assignment ! And congrats to JK for winning the 2nd assignment ! cheers

Yay! I am soooo pleased with my score! thump

Thank you very very much judges!
Oh! And I'm getting my Video Card updated soon! I hope that by updating it, my pics will get better! kawaiiangel

I totally agree and I accept the judgment of course. You are 3 judges, which means 3 different opinions. How can I get a 5 from A and a 8,5 from B? How can someone have a 8 from C and a 4 from A? This is my point on suggesting a new category Smile

And yes, I'll do my best next assignment Smile

and not just because I have the threat of an aussie boot on me arse hehehe

YAY! Congtrats to JK for her work and score! And congrats to everyone for their effort Smile

Let the next assignment come!

Yeah, that's why we have three judges, to make the overall result as fair as possible for everyone.
We do our judging independently from one another and don't "consult" each other about the scores. This way the results are as fair as possible.
I do agree with you some (separate) scores look "a bit out off line", I'll discuss this with Miss L & Q, as creativity is just such a "wide concept".

Oh my goodness, I can't even believe I got 3rd place on the assignment! It completely made my day Smile

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely pay even more attention to the colors I use next time Smile

Congrats to JK for winning and everyone for having awesome pictures as usual!!

Thank you! Yours too!!

All the pics were absoutely fab!! Congrats to all on their submissions and congrats to JK for getting first place!! I truly adore when people take 'constructive critique' and use it to better the situation. I had to 'learn' how to do this without being hurt, it sometimes takes age to make us wiser!! And more resilient! hiho

Gearing up the popper for the next assignment!

I have major respect and give tons of kudo's to you all!! Bop

Sergio, I was trying to be honest with my scores as I always do with judging everybody's submissions. You have every right to disagree with me and I am very sorry that you feel I was harsh on you and perhaps I was, but I was only judging as per what the challenge requested. That is how I judge. I look at what is asked of you creatively and I score on how well you portrayed this and how creative you were with what you had to work with re: the challenge's requirements. I did mention that no judge would justify or answer questions about scoring, but since you have displayed that it is not just occuring for you, then I have chosen to explain how it is judged. 3 judges, as you said, are going to have 3 completely different opinions on what you produce. Creativity has far too many grey areas. Eva has contacted me about the creativity area and I have redefined and narrowed it down to TWO main aspects we will be marking on and if it is agreed on then, we will all make sure that we do not verge out of these two areas when we judge. Eva and Q just need to review what I have suggested and give the go ahead and I will let you all know on Friday what we have decided on.

If I have upset anybody else with my judging then I am truly sorry. I do not judge with the intention of upsetting people or picking on anyone. I try to be fair and honest with my scores.

Congratulations to JK for winning assignment two.

If you have anymore problems with ANY aspect of this competition, then please do not hesitate to contact Eva or myself. If it is regarding this weeks scores or is extremely urgent regarding your position in the comp, then please contact Eva. If it is something that needs to be directed at myself, then message away and I will answer when I can.

I should tell you that you are the cutest aussie monster I know and that I luvs you.

And I want to add that I was not pleased but also I was not upset. I just wanted to raise some questions to clarify how scores were attributed. Smile

We all know that the judgings on the contests are not to upset or to pick on anyone, I think I can say that for all the people that participate and lurk around this beautiful contest.

Keep up the good work!

Guest

Awww Miss L we know you didnt mean to upset anyone and looking at Sergio's answer you didnt so dont worry too much hun x

Naws, I know I am a hard judge, but I don't want people to get upset over my comments. I just needed to clarify that. We, as in Q, Eva and myself are all here to help in anyway we can. I am not a pro and I do not claim to be one, I just offer friendly advice. At least I hope so Big smile

Guest

You do Miss L and wonderful advice it is!

Guest

i love the advice i get form all of you and it makes us all better simmie makers when we sponge up all the comments.... hiho

I agree with you Angie how are we supposed to improve with our simmehs if no one tells us where we need to correct things, I for one welcome the advice I receive from all the judges as it helps me. Smile

Guest

Aww I'm sure Miss L and Eva will love hearing this guys as i'll mean so much you value the advice they give...mind you it's darn good advice! These girls certainly know how to sim!

I like to comment on this one Smile

Thanks for your support, guys !! hiho

Really appreciate your lovely comments ! Smile

We (Q, Miss L & me) are really here to help and make everyone a 'better' sim maker, that's what this competition is all about. Like Miss L said, we're not claiming to be pro's ourselves, or something like that, cause I'm learning from this competition myself ! ;)
It's just to see, share, watch, learn & make simmehs, by means of assignments and also have fun and meet other simmers in the process Big smile

Guest

Yayz...so we are all happyz now!!! happydance

Guest

I agree a competition like this one is a great way to make friends and get to know each other better....and CeCe Q is happy and off to try and make a new simmeh

I'm really enjoying this comp.. it's a very different kind of challenge and I'm always looking forward to the assignments and the feedback. Smile

On another note... was last night a full moon? Because it was a CRAZY night at work D:

umm idk , i think its in the makeup/ eyebrow shapes, eye shape and stuff lol thump

Yeah Ninja's vamps are awesome Big smile

I'd like to think that ladies like the judges who have had simmies showcased in sim magazines and uploaded and showcased on sims3blogs would be experts.....pros suggests you get paid for it which clearly you don't hehe cause that would be illegal!

I'm totally with you on the ''creativity being a point of view'' which is why I've always seen the ''On Topic/On Assignment'' type scoring criteria being an excellent way of giving someone who was truly creative with an assignment full marks, but still marking them low if they chose to disregard part of the overall assignment.

Congrats JK, Angie and Jojo!

im in sensation magazine as photographer and been makin sims since the urbz yo lol

hiho

I got offered a photographer spot too lol, I had to turn it down, way too much on my plate.

I love your sims ninja, but they all seem to come out looking somewhat the same, in particular you use the same shaped eyes all the time...I would love to see something totally different from you in one of these assignments would be awesume.

Member Posts : 67 Thanks : 18 Join date : 2010-03-28

cause i like that eye shape for my sims hiho

but some are not the same
