I'd like you to care about the featured conceptions more than "fairness" and arguments, please.
You see, while I can't dismiss Tasty's and Hypno's arguments, Logo is right: If you want things done, then nominate more so we have our "conceptions bank" to choose from, don't just sit there talking back. About the "first comes first served" thing. OF COURSE it has to happen when you don't nominate, because those conceptions are not the ones who come "first", they are the ONLY one who came, so I have no choice but to pick them.
Extending the selected lot from 3 to 8 or 10 doesn't make anything more fair or easier, in fact it'll only make things way more complicated, since we have to nominate even more and pick even more. That's why I initially went with only one conception, but afterwards extended to 3 because I thought the random thing was cool.
If you want it to be fair without people nominating actively, here's what we're gonna do: dump all the 500 something "decent" conceptions in. See? This is why we have this voting and nomination in the first place. Why I can't dismiss your argument and must admit my system is flawed, doing that will only make things even worse. The first Conception Tournaments were easy because at the time the number of conceptions in the wiki was small, so we can just dump everything in and the number of conceptions will roughly match the number of contestants we want, but it's not the case here.
So, I've decided to POSTPONE THIS VOTING WHILE WE AMEND THE SYSTEM and CLEAR ALL THE RESULTS SO FAR. I'll also EXTEND THE VOTING PERIOD TO ONE WEEK NEXT TIME and make it so that YOU CAN ONLY START VOTING AFTER AT LEAST 10 CONCEPTIONS HAVE BEEN NOMINATED. At least, that's my current suggestion. If you have any idea, please let me know.
And thus, I hereby decide that THIS THREAD IS CLOSED!
