Hey guys,
Dekita and I have been chatting about the voting process and I think it might be nice to get some input.
Ultimately the winner of each round will come down to a "which is your favourite script" question, which you can choose based on your perspective as a player, a developer, or a scripter. This means our voting mechanism could be as simple as a forum poll, and people will be able to give specific feedback in the thread itself.
But it also might be nice to have a small survey type of thing which will allow you to give something like a star rating to each script in terms of appearance and ease of use for the player, ease of use for a developer putting the script into a game, ease of maintenance, compatibility, readability for a scripter, and so on. These will not be used to choose the winner (there will still be a "which is your favourite script" question) but could be useful to provide feedback in a summary form to entrants. It would also give us the ability to list a favourite script as voted by players, by developers and by scripters. The goal there would be to keep it reasonably short so voters didn't have to spend a lot of time answering questions, in addition to the time they've already spent looking at the scripts and playing the (short) demos.
What sort of voting process would you prefer? Pros? Cons?
