Divepen1: But you said "the likes would count now" You didn't say anything about "shares" Apparently, you have modified your post to include shares. |

Jazmiynne:This is my word https://www.nairaland.com/3919666/seun-osewa-battle-moderator-judges/3#59389741 |

Divepen1: Yes that is your *modified* word It's okay, no probs |

Jazmiynne:Wow.. Go through all the threads. Even the first page of this thread. |
Re: Seun Osewa Flash Fiction ( Instructions And Discussion Thread by Divepen1(m): 12:49am On Aug 13, 2017 |
Jazmiynne:And the little thing I notice is that many of us don't read the instructions well. |

Jazmiynne: He did dear, that's why I emphasized both liking and sharing to my voters |

Divepen1: You did not have to do this. And I refuse to go down that lane with you. But, on the day the judges picked their candidates, your post categorically stated that "likes would count at this point", nothing about shares. You know you modified that initial post, perhaps when you came to post about voting today which is the post you have now referred me to. I wouldn't have done all this plenty explaining, but for the fact that you had to add a polite insult when I had done nothing of such to you. Thanks for the competition thus far, it was fun. |

Jazmiynne:You actually are on a wrong ground. He stated it at the very first post. You didn't really read, just skimmed. |
Re: Seun Osewa Flash Fiction ( Instructions And Discussion Thread by Divepen1(m): 6:08am On Aug 13, 2017 |
Jazmiynne: Well, if it looks insultive, I tender my apology. But you stating that I modify the thread will make people assume we cheated you by not updating you. Immediately I posted it, Skarlett was found canvassing for votes and she said Thank you ma'am Please vote for me by liking and sharing the post here( link removed) https://www.nairaland.com/3915558/seun-osewa-flash-fiction-instructions/4#59395185 And I think I found the discussion got mixed up, Skarlett asked which thread would be used for vote counting, then you replied her with Likes from both threads combined would be tantamount to inaccuracy (duplicate votes). That's because 1 person can like both threads and it would be counted as 2 votes instead of 1. https://www.nairaland.com/3915558/seun-osewa-flash-fiction-instructions/4#59343338 I didn't make the mistake because I've thought almost everything through. The voice allows three votes, so I chose the best formats that would have a feel of this three votes and that is the use of Likes and Share. Also, I went through my Moderation Log, which unfortunately cannot be accessed by you, and I saw all my edited works and I didn't see any moderation of such. I'm not explaining myself to prove my perfection but to help you as well as a lot of writers and readers know there was a only a miscommunication but not mistake. I might have sounded like you're to use only Likes, I'm sincerely sorry about it. 1 Like |

Divepen1: Thanks very much. I apologize for giving you the stress to relate this long proof of no foulplay. Next time, I would make sure to remember the share button. 1 Like |

Divepen1:This is not a complaint but the last stage was not exactly handled expertly. Before the day you set out for voting and campaigning, some contestants had already started the train. Again, Audrey came and dropped the verdict that Kimberly had already qualified. That gave the impression that you and the judges had already made your pick. I came back later to find contestants still calling for votes. I don't want to imagine how it would have been managed if Kimberly did not make it. |

The LIKES AND SHARES prior to the time the judges made their selection and before you opened the floor for the voting to commence should have been made null and avoid. I joined the competition to learn, and asking people to vote for my story 'just because' felt very odd but I still learnt marketing. Orubebe would not take this but although I believe stealing is corruption, I'll follow GEJ. |

ProFuhrer:Kim, perhaps, started telling her fans before hand because the instruction was there --- voice competition; 'likes' equals vote --- and they responded, greatly. Before the verdict, kim was winning, dropping her by the judge was more like giving others in the group a chance again. Initially, this was for fun; to make the section lively. And it did. my two kobo. 1 Like |

Kusibe77:I don't know about the Voice competition and how it is run. I agree with the fun part, that was part of why I joined. But what if Kim didn't finally win? She was just 4 points above the 3rd person. |
Re: Seun Osewa Flash Fiction ( Instructions And Discussion Thread by Nobody: 9:19am On Aug 13, 2017 |
GSteve001: Lol I got myself a well deserved night rest Thank you dear I don't think there's going to be any more pairing tho, just judges picking their top one contestant (3 in total) and voters saving some others so good luck in the next round |
Re: Seun Osewa Flash Fiction ( Instructions And Discussion Thread by Divepen1(m): 9:40am On Aug 13, 2017 |
ProFuhrer:What if Kim had not won? That's the fun. It was a calculated risk, one which Audreytimms kept lamenting about( at our group page). In case, you don't know, Judges are allowed to vote for their choices and even canvass for votes. It's the fun of the competition. However, she's not planning to do such another time. |
Re: Seun Osewa Flash Fiction ( Instructions And Discussion Thread by Divepen1(m): 9:41am On Aug 13, 2017 |
Kusibe77:Thanks baba. That's the plan. We pick the best and people pick their choice. |
Re: Seun Osewa Flash Fiction ( Instructions And Discussion Thread by Divepen1(m): 9:43am On Aug 13, 2017 |
ProFuhrer:Everyone is allowed to canvass for votes before the day. I gave that day as extra day. Voting was supposed to start immediately. That's why many of writers on Okadabooks don't really make sales. We don't hint people about our books before the book production, which should not be so. 1 Like |

Jazmiynne:Apologies accepted. Lol.. But I fear your fans ooooo.. They can make anyone run for his money. |

Divepen1: I saw Buky's mention but decided to let it slide, I knew it was just a mistake of omission And I wanted to ask...when our story is posted in the judge's thread, can we start canvassing for votes? |
Re: Seun Osewa Flash Fiction ( Instructions And Discussion Thread by Divepen1(m): 9:50am On Aug 13, 2017 |
