WB Regeln in Englisch
Ich hab mir gedacht, es wäre vielleicht nicht schlecht, die Grundregeln für unsere WBs auch mal auf Englisch festzuhalten. Ist schon ziemlich kompliziert und wenn man die Sprache nicht kann ...
Ich hab mal angefangen, aber ich brauche Unterstützung. Sind bestimmt Tippfehler drin, gibt bessere Formulierungen und wahrscheinlich hab ich auch was vergessen.
Wenn die Übersetzung fertig ist, könnte man sie an den Terminthread kleben und bräuchte dann in allen Threads, die mit WBs zu tun haben, nur noch dahin verlinken.
Also, bin dankbar für Anregungen und Kritik.
Edith: Danke für die Hilfe Ines!
Basic rules for contests (WB or Wettbewerb) in the Simforum
Part 1: Collecting ideas and poll
Every month there is a collection of ideas for the next two contests in a thread called “Sammelthread für NEUE Wettbewerbe/Ende day.month.year” normally opened by LadySonnenblume.
Here you can post up to two suggestions. Give the outline of your theme, what sort of house, what style, how many rooms, rooms or things that should not be in ...
- do you allow pay object and downloads (well, pays are normally allowed as people can't tell, whether they have paid for certain objects or not. This is a rather traditional point
)
- do you allow picture editing (yes / no / only cutting)
- do you allow comments on the pictures
- what voting system (see below)
- how many participants ( Teilnehmer TN) maximum (normally 15)
- how many pictures per participant (normally 20 - 30)
If your suggestion wins you are the master of the contest (WB Leiter). If you don't feel able to do that, you can ask for a Pate (godfather, substitute) in the headline of your suggestion. The Pate will manage the contest.
The collection runs for one week. Than LadySonnenblume opens a poll ("Umfrage: Abstimmung für NEUE Wettbewerbe") where every member can vote for his or here favorite suggestion. The poll runs for another week.
The two suggestions with the most votes will be the next two contests.
Number one starts instantly, number two starts two weeks later. Each contest runs about 4 weeks and should end at a Sunday evening.
Part 2: The contest
The master of the contest opens a new thread and copies the idea from the collection thread. Additional information can be given, but the basic outlines can't be changed.
Here you tell that you want to participate. If you have questions about the contest this is the right place to ask.
Sometimes the master or one of our creators has a participation gift for the TN, but not always. Participation gifts are always welcome
Important: You don't show your pictures yourself but send them (jpg, numbered from 1 - 30 and zipped) to the master of the contest.
The participants should be anonymous until the end of the voting.
After the contest is closed, the master opens a new thread "Abstimmung WB xyz" for the voting.
Part 3: Voting and voting systems
In this thread "Abstimmung WB xyz" you’ll find the link to the pictures.
We have three voting systems:
- 8er System: You can give maximum 8 point for an entry. You may give the same amount of points for two entries. You may give half points.
Example:
TN A 6
TN B 6
TN C 8
TN D 7,5
- TN max system
you can give as many points as there are participants (TN) in the contest. You can't give the same amount of points to two TN. You can't give half points
Example for 4 participants (TN):
TN A 4
TN B 3
TN C 1
TN D 2
- 5-3-1 system
We only use this in case there are only three participants (TN) in the challenge. The one you like the best gets 5, the second best 3 and the last one 1 point.
- Anonymous poll
We normally don't use this, because you can only vote for one favourite.
You give the points in the thread. If you are a participant in this particular contest you give the points by PM (PN) to the master of the contest.
Participants (TN) give themselves 0 points.
In case there are only 2 TN who could finish the contest (very sad), there is no voting.
The voting runs two weeks.
After the end of the voting the master of the contest presents the winners and tells the points of every participant in a new thread “Gewinner und DL-Fragen WB xyz”.
This is the right place for Ooohs and Aaahs and wcif questions.
