OCA DOTY 2020 Voting

[Naszvadi]

The nomination period has ended. The voting period will end in cca. six weeks at midnight once all regions of the world have entered 1st May 2021. Due to some of the entries having plenty of links, only the first link is provided for each entry in most cases. Links to the rules and the full list of links can be seen at the OCADOTY#2020 and most of them at the nominations thread here: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4970

To vote for a pattern, simply include a line where that pattern's number is followed by with a number of asterisks from one to three corresponding to how strongly you want to vote for that pattern. (Note that the patterns have been shuffled compared to the nominations thread, as was the standard at PotY.) If you do not want to vote for a pattern, simply do not include a line with its number!

In case some of you are concerned about mixing up the numbers, here is a version optimized for voting. Simply replace the name of each pattern with the number of asterisks that you want to give it (and remove lines corresponding to patterns that you don't want to vote for). The idea had been ripped from POTY 2020 competition.

Hunting's picky... no, not really for leaplife
I think if the discovries in 2021 will be nominated in the next year, i'll probably give three.

I vote according to my understanding of the project. LeapLife is way inside my comfort zone. On the other hand, I barely understand #01.

Exception is Symbiosis, in which I'm simply amazed by the developments in an easy rule.

[Moosey]

I was very tempted to protest the leaplife self-promotion stuff and leave #11 off entirely, but

Out of curiosity: Why are the nominees out of order compared to the nomination thread?

[bubblegum]

Out of curiosity: Why are the nominees out of order compared to the nomination thread?

Most likely because the list is taken from the LifeWiki, rather than the conveniently-placed-and-formatted list in the nomination thread.

The order is different from the order on the LifeWiki.

I was very tempted to protest the leaplife self-promotion stuff and leave #11 off entirely, but

Can you point out one or two example of me promoting it? I shall change my behaviour accordingly. My signature is just stuff I'm most proud of, analogy to WP user page.

Also, one thing I always wanted to point out is a rule's creator should not own a rule. People who explored it should. Otherwise like what GUYTU6J once said, one could trivially own many rules by making a large list of INT rules, which is ridiculous.

But on the other hand...

It's still really saddening. LeapLife was created on January, and me and various other people spent much effort on it. I apgsearched it on my school's computer, only to get a demerit. I'm in a situation similar to wwei23, but I keep improving LeapLife:

In fact, I don't even have access to computers or other electronic devices, as an attempt to keep me seperate from the outer world. My activities were either done when they're not home, or in a hurry, or pretend to go to the toilet and take the phone (much like JP21), or sneak it among the clothes so I can message when taking a shower (my parents noticed my showers takes an unusually long time, but they couldn't figure out why.) or hide it in a secret place in my room so when they're asleep I go on the forums (at the Chinese class on the next day:哈欠.....) or use the school computer when no one is there. I will probably not write to you anytime soon （I said soon!）

(Note the last parenthesis is Unicode parenthesis due to being in a hurry)

I began making the timeline since December, and only finished it in February, all by myself (perhaps with a little help of waypoints by dvgrn). I wrote the associated article in the same timespan. It was written in a phone's notepad, so I could write it when I was outside without computer.

I did not mean to advertise LeapLife in the Voting thread. I mean, I advertise for a reason. It's hard for me to accept the current vote count...

[wwei47]

I'm in a situation similar to wwei23, but I keep improving LeapLife:

I don't want to make you feel bad, but my dad has actually become much more supportive of CA stuff recently.

Out of curiosity, why does no one seem to care about me advertising Symbiosis in my signature?

[yujh]

Probably because that most don't even care about other's signatures!(off-topic)
