The Sims Wiki talk:Battles/Nominations

Should we allow users to vote for their own nominations? — Random Ranaun ( Talk to me! ) 08:30, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think so. Why vote for yourself? Everyone is going to do the same. BobNewbie talk • blog 08:46, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Okay good. What about the "Votes Against" section? No one seems to be using it. Should we get rid of it? — Random Ranaun ( Talk to me! ) 09:08, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

I think so. If anyone has a problem with it, they could state why in the comments section. BobNewbie talk • blog 09:12, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'll remove it right now. — Random Ranaun ( Talk to me! ) 09:15, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

What should we do in the event of a tie? — Random Ranaun ( Talk to me! ) 22:50, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

Triple Battles
I think that battles between three sims, objects, neighborhoods etc. can be a pretty good idea, mainly because users will have more than the option "this or the other one" to vote.|_Andronikos Leventis 20:20, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:28, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I disagree... where does it end? If we allow a head-to-head-to-head battle, do we suddenly have to allow 4-way battles, 5-way battles? At that point, you're conducting a poll, not a contest between two opposing things. I like the 2-thing, head-to-head, one or the other aspect to the Battles and I think it should be kept the way it is. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 20:52, December 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Disagree. LIR is right, we have polls for that. The battles are a 1 on 1 thing, and should stay that way. -- BobNewbie talk • blog 07:40, December 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * As you wish. I simply thought that would make things more interesting for people. I also noticed something else. It is always Sim VS Sim, Object VS Object, Event VS Event... what about Sims agaist objects or something like that?|_Andronikos Leventis 11:47, December 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm... that does not make sense to me :(. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:48, January 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Why, it is simple. Do you prefer your sims to be hit by Miss Crumblebottom or the fatal bite of the Cowplant?|_Andronikos Leventis 21:08, January 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Cowplant. -- BobNewbie talk • blog 21:19, January 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's not a bad idea, if set up correctly. -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 01:29, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

 * Since so far there has only been Sim-Sim nominations, the next battle will be what Andronikos Leventis suggested. -- BobNewbie talk • blog 08:08, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you.|_Andronikos Leventis 12:08, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Tournament of Winners
I put my "tournament of winners" idea on the nominations page, but it doesn't seem like something to be voted for. I would like some opinions on the idea and how we will determine if it becomes a thing.--Eduardog3000 Ed G 22:40, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * This wiki is definitely becoming inactive.--Eduardog3000 Ed G 19:41, May 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Just realized :p. Yeah, many Wiki members, from what I can see, are absent, but the Wiki isn't really becoming inactive. Anyhow, I don't really like the idea to be honest. I mean...with the triple battles, it's convinced me that The Sims Wiki battles should just stay one-on-one community chosen things, instead of us trying to do a lot of different things with it when we've barely "mastered" doing the basics. So no, I do not support the idea. -- Zombie talk • blog 10:31, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * While it IS an interesting idea, it's a bit odd putting two things who might not even be connected in any way up against each other. And, let's face it, the 3-way battle went badly. I say we just keep it how it is now. --W H  (Talk) 10:37, May 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Plus, this could negatively effect the battles. One, it could take a looooooong time before new user-nominated battles are restarted, and if we give less time, less people will vote, and in the end, lose interest in the battles completely. -- Zombie talk • blog 11:04, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion....
I want to sugggest something. Will you like the idea the Nomination page to be made like Featured Media/voting page? '''Alex9400 | TALK with me. I ♥ ♦³ :-)''' 08:48, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * IMO, I like the way it is now. I don't forbid you to do so, but I prefer each featured page is unique on their own.  Nikel  Talk  09:16, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

An Idea
If a Nomination has no votes for a while shouldn't we get rid of it to make the page less cluttered Xxgreenbunnyxx (talk) 16:48, July 10, 2012 (UTC)
