After all these posts you still don't get it.

^This³

But let me give you a solution which will make everyone happy.

Best Tag:
The best tags will be rewarded.

First Prize: 560.00 fg (25%)
Second Prize: 336.00 fg (15%)
Third Prize: 224.00 fg (10%)

Best Improvement:
Students with the best improvement will be rewarded.

First Prize: 560.00 fg (25%)
Second Prize: 336.00 fg (15%)
Third Prize: 224.00 fg (10%)

50:50 Split with their mentor.

With this tournament (prize) system everyone who has put effort in this has the chance to receive a reward.
The already quite skilled people who've made some improvements as well as the amateurs who have for sure made the best overall improvement.

i don't "get it" because you're not actually making a point, you're just pussyfooting around and jerking off other people with quotes instead of saying why you're pissed off.

i'm done talking about this with you.

Just cancel the contest if you aren't going to follow the contest rules you've set yourself.

Yep, this "tourmanent" is a joke.

If that's what you think, just cancel the contest.

It looks to me that he isn't ignoring you, you simply haven't said one thing of worth towards the arguement.

I don't see how it's a "joke", loads of beginners are improving tons. If you really didn't care so much about it you wouldn't be making such a fuss over it.
From someone standing outside the contest it's CLEAR who has "won", regardless of whether it matters or anything. Regarding using the use of pm Skype and msn etc as the main use of communication, what did you think would happen? That's all behind the scenes where no one but you can see it. I even said it to you on the first page of your thread but you ignored it.

I understand what you are saying, but I don't think that it's sane's fault that his students didn't do shit.
The idea was to hold these lessons and then have all the participants make a tag with the help of their mentors, if i understood correctly.
All Sane is saying, and the majority of people, is that we should still hold this contest with an outside judging system.
It seems likely that Odin, putting the most amount of effort in has the greatest probability of winning anyway.

If I share the opinion of somebody else, I quote it.

The first of the quotes you've provided already says more than everything else that has been said here.

Nero started a tournament with good intentions, but half way through the tournament he changes and ruins everything.
He, for no reason, decided to cancel the tournament to give Odin all the fg. -- What the f*ck?

It has been a success for the students in terms of learning indeed, but what about the tournament part?
Perhaps check the topic title once again: "Mentor-beginner Tournament Sign Up"

Since you love quotes so much, I'll quote a part of the nero's post for you:

Quote (nerobellum @ Feb 8 2012 05:17pm)

The idea here is that the more experienced among us will coach newbs on a personal and private level to create some sort of actual learning process.

Is a topic personal and private? No.
Is msn/pm/skype etc private? Yes.

Aside from that it has never been said that the "Mentors" will be judged.
It was said that the results of the students will be judged.

Another quote of the first post to prove it:

Quote (nerobellum @ Feb 8 2012 05:17pm)

I'll get some friends from another forum to help me judge the results, so there is no bias with regard to internet favoritism as far as votes go.

if i knew you would all tear up so much instead of congratulate greg on his effort and hard work, then i wouldn't have posted at all.

perhaps you've forgotten that, while my group as a whole is inactive, vengance and lazydazy are both candidates for victory in the follow up tournament, so by choosing to award greg, i am also acknowledging my own group's shortcomings.

i may have put effort and hard work in, but in this regard, i can safely say that greg has done an outstanding job of teaching and following up with his students, and it's wonderful to see his students equally committed.

i'm not trying to take anything away from anyone, which you all seem to think. i'm trying to award what i feel like was exceptional work.
the whole tournament aspect was an impromptu attempt at sparking incentive to learn and teach back into this forum, and the thought process going into this was a few minutes to make a post, and the 2-3 pm's i exchanged with TRM.

i already said we can still have the tournament, since you're all so upset about it.

the bottom line is this: sure, i changed the loosely worded rules to my own tournament, but why are you all so upset about it if none of you care about the pixel money?

Maybe I like the idea of comparing my work against someone else, not for pixels, but for gratification? It is nice to be rewarded for your efforts if for nothing else but a pat on the back.

I also find it so disheartening you take so much away from your students I really feel that is unfair to vengence and lazy who are still putting work in.
