Important: Read!
The main event of the Karter's Contest is over, but many of us still wanted to see some matches that didn't fall into place during those days, so due to that, we're hosting 6 extra days of matches.
That said, there are some slight changes in the rules for these extra days. All e-mail votes still go to karters128@yahoo.com but votes on AIM are only being accepted by Jason Whalls (JWhalls64) and Michael Liem (Michael Liem). In addition to AIM, Jason Whalls is accepting votes in IRC, where his screen name is "JWhalls." As always, please try to ensure that these guys are around before submitting your votes through IM programs.
Secondly, the contest hours are now slightly different. Now each match will run for a full 24 hours starting at 8pm GMT, 2 hours earlier than in the main event.
Finally, any ties that occur will not be settled in these matches. They are simply for fun, so the need to produce a clear winner isn't necessary.
Results will still be posted in the same thread on the message board, and vote sharing can be done in the same place as well, if you choose to do that. However, we have added an additional page above with information on why each match was selected. We recommend everybody to take a look. The old bios for the main event are also linked from that page in the event that those are necessary. A page specifically for the results of these matches has also been created above.
Thanks for voting, and enjoy!
Welcome to the Favourite Karters Contest page! This tournament is going to decide who is the karters favorite. 128 karters originally entered the contest. After two rounds only 32 of them are left. The second part of the tournament consists of a full 32 player knockout draw. After that the winner of this contest will be known. Each day we will announce 1 matchup between two players. This is where you come in: you must vote your favorite from that match. At the end of the day we will tally up the votes see who the favorite was in that match. Every day the results and matchups will also be posted on each of the Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart Double Dash main pages.
Who can vote?
Everyone who's a member of the SMK, MK64 or MKDD players pages or anyone else who has been involved in one of the mario kart communities. If you're not a member of those sites, but still feel you should be able to vote, let us know and we'll decide if you're allowed to vote or not.
How do I vote?
You have 2 options to send us your vote:
Option 1: E-mail: Send your vote to karters128@yahoo.com
Option 2: AIM: Send an AIM Message with your vote to "PaulTanney", "Michael Liem" or "sim666laflamme" (if you use MSN you can also use: "mkdd18@hotmail.com").
Option 1 is the recommended way of voting. Sending an e-mail is possible during all 24 hours of each voting round.
However, to make voting as easy as possible for you we decided to allow voting by AIM and MSN as well.
If you see one of these 3 users online: "Michael Liem" - "PaulTanney or mkdd18@hotmail.com" - "sim666laflamme" you can send your votes to them, and they'll write down your votes or forward them to the karters128@yahoo.com email address.
However, a few points you need to consider:
- Keep in mind that this is only an extra feature. Neither of us will be online 24 hours a day, even combined we won't reach 24 hours online coverage.
- So, if you don't see us online, just send your vote by email (and don't keep waiting untill the deadline has almost passed).
- Be careful with sending votes by AIM if we're away from the computer. If Michael or Simon have an away message up, you send a vote to one of them, and they don't return to their computer before the voting deadline ends, that means your vote will get lost.
- Preferably don't send your votes twice. If you emailed your votes already, don't go and send them a 2nd time by AIM, or the other way around. That would be confusing for us.
When can I vote?
Every day a new matchup will be announced. Then we'll give you 24 hours to send your votes. After the 24 hours have passed the votes will be tallied and published on the site. And we'll announce the next matchup. You can only vote for the matchup that's being played on that day. So, don't send us votes for other matchups if they haven't been announced yet.
Who should I vote for?
This is essentially a popularity contest, therefore, it is entirely up to you! Some things you could possibly consider would be: Who is the better player? Who has contributed more to the Mario Kart community as a whole? Whose posts are fun to read on the boards? Who is more enjoyable to chat with on MSN or AIM? Or even, whose name did I just draw out of this hat? In fact, when it comes to voting, there is really only one option not available to you...No one may vote in their own matches! Neither for yourself nor your opponent. No exceptions.
What happens if a matchup is tied at the end of the day?
If the 2 players have exactly the same number of votes at the end of the day, we'll extend the matchup by another 24 hours. This way everyone who hadn't sent their vote yet can make sure their vote will still get in. The other matchup that was planned for that next day will just take place as planned. So, the regular matchup and the extended tied match will both take place on the same day.
The idea for this contest and some of these texts were based on the character contests from gamefaqs and the summer contests from the-elite.net. So lots of credit go to them.
