Tonight we've introduced contests. Check out the blog for details (http://blog.roblox.com/?p=2032). We hope you have fun!
By the way, contests are hard to get right - not the coding, but the fairness. We spent a lot of time thinking about all the ways that a contest could be unfair, and then built something that we think addresses most of them. For example, we have two (and soon more) leader boards, so if you don’t win in one, maybe you’ll win in another. We also require you to visit a place before voting so good games with bad thumbnails don’t get dinged. Finally, we’ve implemented the Elo Rating System used in chess as our voting algorithm. We’ve done a lot of things to make contests fair, but we’ve probably missed some things too.
If there’s something about contests you don’t like, please let us know! |
