Title: Official European First Voter topic
Post by DarkMeta on 05/29/10 at 14:32:09

First Vote is a thrilling part of every voting contest, and here's your chance to shine in the Karter Contest 2k10! Nevertheless, the real First Vote game was impossible for us, Europeans, to do because it happens between 5 AM and a few hours later for the eastern european countries. That's why, we discussed about that with Scott and we decided to create one especially for European players. :)
So, I'll create one poll every night at 20h GMT.
And the game will be exactly the same : You have to be the first player to vote in this poll and then, you have to post a proof of it. :)
First voting is fun for everyone, even those who don't win. If the competition gets hot enough, it might even be hard to get in the top 5!
This hour (20h GMT) may also allow non-european posters to vote for this poll. ;)

The person who posts the most screenshots of First Votes by the end of the season wins! Scott and I will update the results every day. :)
Good luck to you all! :D

So far:
Boom3r : 1 point
Zarkov : 1 point

Flo might not quite understand what he's supposed to do.

Flo: Here is how you run Euro FV, now that you've become the official host.

You need to choose a time every day or night when you will create your own poll in the Karter Contest section called Euro First Vote Day 5 or whatever day it is. The poll will be a "joke poll" where the question and answers are supposed to be funny, such as "Who is more likely to dress up as a banana for halloween?" with choices of MVT and Koopz, or something like that. The competition can be played in by ANYONE, but it's called Euro FV as it's played at a time made for Europeans. A good time might be midnight UK time or something (choose whatever you think is appropriate).

Do you understand what this is now?

This topic can be used to track the points, but you'll probably want to make a new topic each day with the polls!

Yes, Euro FV is open to people from the entire world, just as regular FV is. The difference is Euro FV has only ONE poll, so it's more prestigious to win it!

I'm eagerly anticipating this! :D

Scott, that's not the way I was thinking of it and I think my is way simpler...
I thought that you had to vote for all these polls Honkos does but just when you wake up. ;)
So, for example, today at 9:15 AM, I got the 19th vote for 1 st poll, (I'm not allowed to answer the 2nd poll), 20th vote for 3rd poll and 22nd for last poll.
Who in europe got better!

But well, if this idea doesn't fit you, then Scott please, send me a poll to write down and I'll put it at a precise hour everyday. ;)

Hum, that makes one o'clock for me, so that won't make it. :(
What about midday... :P
or 20h GMT...
We have to decide an hour when most people will be online...

It's all up to you, Flo. You pick the poll each day and the time you'll create it. You're the host, not me. I was just telling you the proper procedure as yours was terribad.

Mine was kind of original too... :-/
I just didn't think the way you were thinking and my idea would have allowed myself to participate to this game too...

Ok!
This poll will open at 20h GMT! Good luck to y'all! :)

Edit: Will my poll go to the important topics or... ?
And, how will I be able to lock it?

Make the poll in the regular topics right here. Locking it doesn't really matter, just close each poll after 24h when you make the next day's poll. Update the first post for rules and the official daily start time.
