    The Oscar-B Awards! (Results Are Out!!)

    in Kerbal Network

    Posted · Edited by Xacktar

    A lot of smart people put a lot of thought into how real Oscars are done. For YEARS now. There is no sense in reinventing the wheel.

    The Oscars can also afford to enlist all these people for their manpower and prestige. We're a bunch of silly folk on a video game forum who spend their spare time here. I know that part of the reason Upsilon never finished the results was that judges dropped out or stopped responding. As a panel, that means the voting had to be redone by everyone. A single judge would not have created this issue as Upsilon could have just asked for a replacement judge for that particular category or would at least have been able to get all the other results out.

    While it is true that a panel would be much better for choosing a representative win, it was also very time-consuming and hard to organize since we were all volunteers... and this is all done for fun anyways. No one gets cash prizes or little statues of golden explosions... so it should be fun for all parties, including the judges.

    In the end, you're thinking what would make the best result, Hatbat is thinking what would be the most practical to prevent problems. You're both right in your own way.

    Well deserved, but for next year I think it might be appropriate to approach this differently. We could get better results if we simply had an expert judge for each category to fairly analyse each nominee, no voting. Which would mean the winners are actually the best, and not just drawn from a compromise. It would remove a lot of the complications we've had. We should also make sure to nominate only videos made in the previous year, though it makes sense that this year had to be an exception as it was the first. Anyway, congrats to all the winners :)

    That would be a lot easier on the judges as well, giving them a smaller pile of videos to sift through.

    If you had one tip for career mode, what would it be?

    Remember that money and science are both resources you need. Spend one in order to get more of the other. It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that EVERY mission must fulfill a contract... they don't. Do a few missions for the pure science once you have enough money.

    Oh, and see how many contracts you can fulfill in a single flight. You get some very odd flights that way, haha.
