Title: The Voters List!
Post by IsThatAGoodTime on 05/16/10 at 22:33:30

http://www.thengamer.com/updates/kart/2010/voters.php

The current list includes all people in the contest, plus a handful of guys who're quite likely to vote.  This registry will allow us to bring special stats at the conclusion of each match, so we need to get everyone in it.  If you're not in the contest but will be voting, it'd be nice if you could just post the following info here and we'll get you added right in:

Name
Nick
Year joining kart site
MAIN kart game(s)
Country
If you PRed in the last 6 months

Thanks, and happy voting!

Hello all!

I'm Jimbo. I think I'm just fine being eligible to vote, because I had over 100 posts on a former board (hosted by the elite before these boards existed), am a 2-time final four finalist in the VA Kart tourney, and have a few badass times in Mario Kart 64 along with 9999 VR in MK Wii.

Edit: Yeah I also destroyed Wonn in a 1 vs 1 semi final match in 2008, and eliminated PYL in 2009 :)

You forgot to add SU, SC and DD for me. I have a full timesheet there and am listed on the rankings (MKDD I will be in them on Friday probably) :P

It's supposed to be the MAIN kart games you play (see first post).


For me though, it only lists MKDD while I feel MK64 should be there as well; I haven't (yet?) played it as extensively as MKDD and I don't have as big a reputation there, but it has been my focus (on and off) in recent years and will quite possibly be again!
MKDS can/should be left out though.

SU/64/SC/DD/DS/WI - Karts played

I referred to this, but if it's only the main kart game then forget what I said ::)

Please add DS and 64 to my list of Karts played. Nice list.  :)

You didn't eliminate PYL; CPU Bowser did, but we won't take this thread there. ;-) Yeah, you could beat the unnecessarily risky 2008 Wonn, but not the overly conservative 2009 Wonn. I may even change my playing style again in 2010, just to confuse everyone.
 
Anyway, before I stray too far off-topic, I noticed that SMK wasn't listed by name. Sure, I haven't Time Trialed in that game since 2000, but I'd like to think I was equally influential in the mid-1990s with SMK as I was with MK64 in the late-1990s (if not more so.)
 
I barely did much with future Kart versions outside of discovering the Fake Item Block shortcuts in Double Dash and some WRs on retro tracks in Super Circuit, so I am perfectly fine with excluding those, and just adding SMK along with MK64 by my name.

To you and all the others worried about their kart games getting included, we're only counting the MAIN games you're in, the part of the community you are most a part of.  If you've played MKDD for 2 years and happened to send in a MK64 timeset a year ago and played it for about a month, you're not really part of the MK64 voting block, if you get what I'm saying.  Most people only get 1 game, some get two, and maybe a couple have more than that.  Really it's supposed to measure how that part of the community reacts to a particular karter in the contest.  Better would have been limiting every karter to their one single main game, but there are a small number of people who post a lot and work hard on multiple games, to the point they should be included with more than one.  For example, Lacey is listed as 64, Wii, because he's the MKW updater and has a good feeling of what the MKW scene is like.  He's not listed as MKSC, SMK, MKDD, or MKDS, even though he has times in all those and has played them recently, because they're not his main areas by any means.

I'm both listed as OS and MS. This makes no sense.

I should be listed as OS since I joined in Feb 2004.

I think we changed the cutoff at the last minute to 2005, but the OS didn't get swapped to NS.  Will be fixed later today.

OS/NS and AN/MS/NN are separate.  Everyone has an OS/NS and a AN/MS/NN.  The year for Ancient is wrong on the page.  Ancient is 2003 and earlier, so you are OS/MS just as listed.

Am I not included in SMK since the vast majority of my time trialing in that game was done in 1995 - 1997? Or is a former #1 at NTSC not good enough? :-) I wouldn't be an MK64 player if it weren't for SMK, and I consider my contributions to both games as being equally important, even if it's been a decade since my last SMK WR.

The intention is to put you in your appropriate voting sphere.  Sure, you played SMK in 1995-1997, but do you really identify with today's SMK players? Have a hard time believing you do, as you haven't posted there in the last 2 years or so.  Basically all these are for is to be able to say "Sami won most of the SMK crowd, the tally being 20-4, but Fried took MK64 by a slim margin 19-18." at the end of each match.  They're not to show who's good at what games or how much you contributed to them, it's more of a gauge of where each player belongs in the community.  In other words, these categories are based on social characteristics, not competition-related achievements.  Originally we were going to give each person only one category, but a handful of people really are a big part of more than 1 Kart game's community.  However, to make everyone feel included, everyone gets at least one game on their list, even if they haven't been around since 2003 or never post/play it, or something.

Do you feel like you identify more with Dave Smith, April, Joe Bernier, Guillaume Leviach, and Florent Lecoanet; or Kevin Booth, Finn Berger, Cooper Lovera, Myles Bukrim, Nathan Stinson, and Pier-Yves Lemire?  Just judging by who you've participated at meets with, I'd lean toward the second group of names which is why you're listed as Kart 64.

Flo: No.

Title: Re: The Voters List!
Post by David Wonn on 05/17/10 at 18:22:40

^
 
If the players I identify with are part of the criteria, then yes I would tend to identify with the latter group you mentioned, although I think Kevin, Nathan, and some others would consider themselves as retired SMKers too. :-)
 
If recent activity means more, then technically I don't have any recent time trialing activity in any of the Kart versions and only minimal activity on the forums. My main activity in recent years has been the kart meets, and I've been doing both SMK and MK64 in all of them so far, but the meets have simply attracted more MK64 players than SMK players. I am equally happy playing either game with anyone. I'd play other Kart versions too, if the difference in controls didn't hinder my ability to easily switch back to SMK or MK64 on demand.
 
In the end, I guess it's your call. I'm either with the "mid 1990s SMKers" or with the "late 1990s MK64ers" and some of those people happen to intersect in both groups as I do. Maybe I am just stuck in the past....

If Sami counts for MK64 (which I agree he does) then Wonn counts for SMK.

We've got lots of voters who still aren't on this list. It's not required, but it helps us get more accurate and interesting info about who is voting for who, so why not take 30 seconds and tell us who you are?
