How would you go about it differently?

I have no idea. I don’t know how to keep the member “favoritism” part out of it, but there’s absolutely no doubt it plays a majority role in these.

In the nomination aspect or the voting?

Voting.

With less than 70 total votes for any one, and only 155 total voters, I guarantee you’re in the minority.

While you may not know it, we have creators on this list that are “old heads” and would make a top 5 beloved PCF member list, we have meetup hosts, folks that attend a reg home game filled with pcfers for years, etc.

It’s not negative, it’s just that you can’t possibly distinguish the chip sets from their owners, bias will come into play, and that’s okay.

I don’t doubt it’s a factor here. It’s a factor in all of life. I also don’t consider these results invalidated.

I was in the music business for years. I learned a long time ago that you don’t just win a Grammy for writing a good song. Your people work the room tirelessly (so to speak) on the collaborator’s behalf.

At any rate, I’d love to play with all these sets. They are better than my skill deserves.

no one considers them invalid…we simply said popularity is always a factor, you said oh yeah well look at me, I explained you’re the exception not the rule as you joined 5 months ago.

Appreciate you explaining it to me though!

I guess some folks are just born grumpy. I’ll continue to participate in this forum and maybe when I grow up to coach pitch I can go around and put noobs in their place.

Merry Christmas

Dang wish I had seen this thread when voting was open.

Many thanks to @Irish and the whole committee for running this process. I am honored that The Poker Lab was one of the sets selected.

I guess some people don’t like the process, and of course it’s hard to separate voting for the sets from voting for who created them. My only suggestion for the future would be to have blind voting where the results aren’t seen until the end (or at least until that person voted).

That's a great shout with the blind voting, tbf. Congrats once again on the induction.

blind voting where the results aren’t seen until the end

This should be the standard.

 

[RocAFella1]

I’m sure it probably won’t change much especially if you’re fairly active on the forum but perhaps not mentioning the owner in addition to blind voting might help.

 

[BarrieJ3]

For the record I like the process as is, was simply explaining you can’t untether a chip set from its creator.

Just as a side note, it’s strange that you can see the results before voting, definitely could cause some sway.

This was my only feedback for the committees.

Perhaps comments should be blind

Wow some great inspiration for when I decide to spend the cash on some new chips.

Love the boneyard chips! Those are dope!
