[Prinny Squad]

We have enough applicants to do a poll this time! Here are the forum members up for judgehood this time!!

• Amanda
• Mellie
• Rin Nano
• Tomie
• Yumesugiru

VOTING CLOSES THIS SATURDAY. SORRY I KNOW THAT ONLY LEAVES SEVEN DAYS TO VOTE BUT...

[Liana]

I'M SORRY I DIDN'T DO THIS EARLIER.

(I changed the poll so people could vote for 4 people since . . . no one votes and stuff here sigh so if we just did one person only the results would be really close together and hard to deal with, probably with tons of ties)

THANK YOU I WAS LOOKING FOR HOW TO DO THAT and it's fine gurrel

[Mellie]

:O! I am on the list, yay! I voted for a few. (:

I'm just concerned if Mellie ^ is chosen to be a judge then she'll focus on English dubs. :I Yoproject is mainly an Asian dubbing community so it worries me a bit. You know what I mean, right Mellie?

I'm not really sure this would be a bad thing? It would be like 3 weeks out of 12 and would (for me) be kind of a refreshing change. I'm sure she would take time to review as many dubs as she could in that time but *all* judges will be bringing their personal biases to the table.

[Kotone]

Okay then, just stating a quick thought.

[Liana]

Y!P is a community for online karaoke. The fact that it's mostly Asian is coincidental. No where will you ever find the word "Asian" in Y!P's descriptions. It's a completely open forum whose tastes belong to the members- in fact, what started out having almost exclusively Hello! Project karaokes being organized now seems to have more K-pop than anything. Because it's got a focus on being community run, we have this system where the judges for the Y!P Weekly are rotated and voted on. Personal taste and bias are IMPOSSIBLE to overcome if we're going to try and showcase some of the stand out dubs on this forum, so having it open like this is the best way I was able to come up with. When I announced how the Y!P Weekly was going to work I made a post in the announcement thread about my plan for it, which no one replied to or brought forth any discussion about. It's in the announcement forum. If anyone has any actual suggestions on how to improve this system and not just pointing out flaws we already know are there and have chosen to accept, please do so Also, I've talked to Mellie one on one and think she'll be incredibly fair and probably end up discovering a lot of new, unfamiliar music she'll adore.

I agree with Liana~ Mellie will be fine~

From the last 3 months of Judging (which is awesome! Thank you very much for letting  me do it! 8D),  I can say for myself that I've learnt a lot more about Kpop LOL. Also, it probably goes towards the Asian dubbing community favour on Mellie's week. At least when I'm Judging, I'm a lot more impressed about things that I don't know well about~ Kpop seems to pop up a lot on my weeks because I don't know Korean enough to know about pronunciation/what the song is about, I don't know the song enough to know how the song actually goes, so they could be singing the entirely wrong melody for all I know!~ What I mean is, it's a lot easier to get impressed about something you don't know much about than something you know and love~

[Liana]

I also bumped the old topic myself to try and encourage discussion about ways to improve the system if anyone can think of how I might be attached to this system but I'm not going to wave away great ideas!

[Rin Nano]

Voted for Tomie 8D I think anyone would be good judges <22 good luck <22

[Prinny Squad]

Would anybody be opposed if I closed voting early? Since I forgot there's some briefing that needs to occur before people can start judging and such. . . Sooooooooo :v

I don't think anyone would mind since the votings have been still for some time now i guess the ppl who wants to vote allready did... idk LOL

[Liana]

Mike - since we always end up with an extra week anyway, just keep it open and I'll fill in the Weekly this Sunday? I want to say everyone who is going to vote has voted by now but anytime I think going forth with something like this is okay it pisses SOMEONE off XD

[Prinny Squad]

All right! As long as it's not a hassle to you, I really appreciate it.
