In reply to: Inner Moppet 's message, "I think we and the C&S folks should vote..." on 06:01:20 03/17/03 Mon

The only problem I have with letting the C&S's vote is that it might become a popularity contest. It's just human nature, you know? "Well Person A has been posting here for so long, and I really like them, so might as well vote for them!"

Also I feel like people are going to really only take into consideration newer episodes since they are more fresh in their minds. People who write really earlier episodes might be at a disadvantage. I mean, if the finale happens around June, and you were voting, would you be able to remember there was a great episode 2 in Mid March? It was months ago!

Also, the readers have no idea the great ideas and contributions people put in on this board, here, where only we get to see. I think that should be taken into account as well. So for those reasons I do not think the C&S'ers should have a say. I think it should just be us writers voting.

There are ways to prevent what I said from happening, such as posting the episodes annonymously and waiting until the season is over to reveal who wrote who, and reposting earlier episodes to get people reaquainted with them, but I doubt people will want that, so I think it's easier and more fair to just leave it up to us.
