Thank you

I am so excited! This makes up for my pending quick elimination in the cricket pool. I'll earmark 2k sats for my inevitable buy back there. Thanks for running this. You do a great job.

Thanks. Kindly tell me where to send you the sats?

Nice job Mister! :-)

Thanks. I don't know how I won, but I'm happy.

Congratulations 👏 🎉 @siggy47. Ad you can see from the points table, you've just won it in the last three or 4 rounds. You've been quite consistent in sharing as well. I often see you shared the song/music before everyone elese. Good job.

This pool is fun but not many people seem to be voting. How do we fix that?
reply
Is useless for me. Music must not be "voted" but listened.
reply
I tried by tagging in some stackers but ultimately had to leave it for it didn't work well.
Although, I've some other plan as well where we have a few stackers as judges just like we have in Reality Shows.
reply
Yeah tough one. There is really no incentive for anyone to judge. I zapped a lot of the songs people posted but that's not really in my best interest. I was just doing it for fun.
reply
As @siggy47 is already the Voice, If I'd be successful to persuade him to be the judge for November, I'll zap him 5k sats for his efforts.
reply
I think @Public_N_M_E should be the judge, jury and executioner since he is the captain of this music ship.

I second that emotion:

Sweet emotion.
reply
Yes, you're right. @Public_N_M_E can be the jury. Executioner as well if he likes.
reply
Yeah sure I'll do what I can. Don't mistake me for someone important though, I'm just the muppet sinking Sats to keep the territory afloat. 🤣🤣.
But I'd be happy to judge, I've been quite busy lately but I'll definitely try.
The problem with a judge system is that it's very subjective and is very opinion based, and yeah I do know my music and I can judge on some subjective elements it's always going to come down to my personal opinion. Which may give an unfair advantage to genres I prefer. They always say know your audience, you put something down you know I'll like, you're not sharing music for the sake of sharing music you're catering to my tastes. Which takes the open nature away. I do however recognise that the voting system isn't getting the engagement it requires to be an effective system.
I don't have the answer on how to resolve that... But what I can do is at least try a different way and see if it's successful. You're doing good work @Coinsreporter with the pools and I don't want to see them and your efforts go to waste. So if you need me to judge a competition every now and again then that's what I'll do.

I think it's slightly mistaken here about votes. This month's pool was judged on the basis of 'Top Ranks' by SN filter on the post. Top first got 100 points, 2nd 50, 3rd got 30 and the rest got 10 points each for every round of a game. At last all points are calculated and we've the winners based on this. I tried voting system the last month. If we're calling zaps as votes, it's fine.
As a judge, I don't think you'll do great. The method I'm thinking about is zapping the entries of participants in descending sats. The song that you judge as the best representation of the game should be zapped highest and you can even leave any without zapping for they were just shared for the sake of sharing.
I think it'd be better to share a percentage of sats to the judge/judges from the posts for them to zap back on the songs they think deserve to be the winners for a specific round. But, it's not your zapping alone that will decide the outcome, if a song entry recieves Stackers attention and it reaches on top, it'll be the winner. Ultimately the winner should be decided by the 'top filter.'
What do you say?
Unfortunately I am going to be on an extended business/leisure trip for a big chunk of November, but thanks for thinking of me. You can zap this reply.
