RE: The MM - SL's biggest joke - PLEASE READ

As seen here: /327/33/138866/1.html

I don't want to restart the debate but I HAD but I mean ABSOLUTELY HAD to say one thing:

Out of ALL THE NOMINATIONS that are shown on the MM's page, I NOTICED ONLY TWO THAT ARE NOT MINE!!!!!! I bet only 3 of us sent Katt an email!!! O.o

If you do not believe me, I have kept a copy of the email I sent to Katt Kongo that day.

I am shocked and yet I can't stop laughing because of how sad this turned out.

Guys, I took like 2 hours of my time, wrote every categories down, and nominated what I thought were the best to * MY TASTES *. People that know me will easily reconize every single thingies I love in the nominations.

1st of all, I thought nominations was what you * prefered *. If I knew they would become poll choices, oh boy, I would have taken another 6 hours and write about 324632842 more entries (I am a shopoholic, and analizer and I write for a fashion mag, and am also tres versatile, so believe me, there WOULD have been TONS of nominations and you wouldnt have even noticed anything). But I just didn't know.

So anyways since the 1st thread was closed and couldn't reply but I felt it was SUPER important for you guys that felt those nominations were innapropriate to know it was A ONE GIRL'S THING, well there you go.

On the other hand tho, I understand (and respect) Katt for being mad because noone replied and helped with this best of, however, I think if I was sitting in her chair and realized people either didn't know or didn't care about it, I would have not published it. This was more of a "elka prefers in SL" thing then anything else, I swear.

Again if you don't believe me, I kept the email and will more then happily send you a copy.
It's just a tad hylarious to me LOL

Exemple: Best Club: The Whale Thingy LOOOOOL
She didn't even change how I typed the suff!!!! I did not know how the whale-shaped club at the top of the mountain in Tableau was called so I wrote this. She copied n pasted my answers *exactly* how I typed them. And I understand there must be gazillions of awesome clubs to go dance at in SL, but I am NOT a clubber and know nothing about clubs either, so I just answered what I thought looked the best visually.
And this proves noone else sent their nominations: who cares about that place except me?

Best Residential Sim: Jukai Urbaine - Folks, this is WHERE I LIVE!
Do you start to understand now? these are MY answers. ALL of them.
I don't know about other residential sims, i wrote jukai, it's our private island, lots of people visit it and i love it. nominated, again, thinkind lots more people would nomitae others.

Favorite Linden: Bub. He's my friend and I love him.

Best FlexiPrim hair: Kin Keiko. I think everyone knows by now how much I love her, if you don't know how hard I freaked when SL banned her not long ago, then you have been hidiing under a rock.

best tringo places: veranderde south i - everyone that knows me knows when i am not designing i am at any of those two spots

best machinima production: panners, pierce and nylon (again, friends of mine)

I could go on and on and on...
But.
See guys, next time, ask questions and wonder why things suck before accusing.
And well next time Katt, when there's only one fella answering, just cancel the thing LOL
♥♥♥

Btw, if you make a new one, I will be more then happy with many other shoppers/designers, since they know KNOW about it, help making many, MANY categories You know in my email I suggested some stuff too!!

Thanks for reading people.

Hulk smash! FLOG HER!

Actually, no. We did receive more nomination e-mails than that, but several of them contained the same names. It struck me that perhaps some friends had gotten together to "stuff the ballot box," so to speak.

P2

Word didn't get out far enough. Nominations were in a very limited pool.

MM has (yes, still has) the opportunity to advertise its presence and establish a "worldwide" awards event. Grab hold of the spirit of bad-publicity-is-still-publicity, advertise across as many third-party forums and as far inworld as possible, use word of mouth and billboard-placement spots. Ask if signs can be dropped in strategic spots. Emphasize "your experience is what we're looking for," playing down that people won't have bought cars from five different builders or whatever. Spread the nomination period over a month, announce top five after two weeks, give a week to vote and announce at the end or make a big event. Update publicity to highlight current phase.

Second Life is not (or shouldn't be) everyone's First Life, not yours, and not for the nominators and voters. Allow time for growth and processing. If MM wants this event to be taken seriously, push it like you mean it.

Well weird, I guess some people have same same same brain and/or tastes then me then, because I swear, only 2 or 3 out of all of those were not in my email. Ask Katt for a copy.

And, I didn't talk to any of my friends about what I did and/or sent either...

Folks, you know the rules, linking to and restarting closed threads is not allowed.. Locking this thread too.
