I agree that the Ale88 pizza is quite artful and detailed, yet my main question remains whether Ale88 had actually cooked the pizza and provided a picture in cooked status since the art may well not maintain itself within a cooked status, yet at the same time, having the pre-cooked art in a pristine artful look would still have some value even there would be changes upon cooking.  Maybe I am missing something since it seems to me that none of the pictures look cooked.. because the cheese and some of the other parts of the pizza shouldn’t be able to stay with such details and form upon cooking.. so then repeatably, aren't the contestants supposed to submitting cooked version of their pizza?  

Or is the submitting of cooked versus uncooked just a question that relates back to how much weight does their pizza get in the eyes of the voters in terms of actual votes that it gets based on the voters' sentiments and weighing of their claims of what they did and if their claims are reflected in the pictures (once we get past the ideas about if the pictures are real and if the explanations about what was done is credible).  It does seem that non-edible pizzas would likely receive fewer votes even though voters may well have differing opinions in regards to what has merit or not (or deserves votes or not).. and surely Ale88 had proclaimed that his artful pizza creation had been within a realm of edible..yet at the same time seeming to having had been accomplished with a lot of good carving skills from seemingly little hands, difficult to imagine the accomplishment of such from the perspectives of some of us (am I just talking about myself?) merely clumsy mortals...  

Edit: by the way, upon reading my criticism again, I made a few mostly stylistic changes to my above post, and also I went back to try to find a clear outline of the rules (in OP for example), and some aspects of the rules regarding "what is a pizza" are not even very clear to me.. and surely I know that there had been disputes regarding "what is" pizza definitions over the years.

I have seen very few people use ascii tables like you do, this brings me back to the past with a hint of nostalgia, I love the terminal and I loved chats like irc
back to us, thanks for the recap
maybe it would be better to remove the names of the pizza makers to ensure fairness for everyone, maybe just leave the number. what do you think?

Using the Ascii table looks neater and thanks for reminding me about the deletion of the name 🙏


No intention to interfere with any judgment, just various Euphoria Voting occurs.
At your suggestion I removed all the names associated to keep it anonymous in person.

Thanks.

I understand that you made this post with good intentions, but with this post you are influencing the opinion of others, thereby interfering with the unbiased voting process. Users see the current leaders ranked by the number of votes received, see the photos, and will be biased towards other pizzas.

Please remove the photos and the voting summary.

Everything is explained in this post

Anyway, to answer your question:

Right, true, sacrosanct.
But do something smart, vote now. You can also change your vote later.
Don't wait until the last minutes and I'll tell you why, managing things like this is very time consuming.

For icopress, I don't think it's necessary to close the thread
look at the time and you're all set

if people post 1 second late their vote is invalid, FORUM TIME, so you avoid hassle my friend

thank you very much my son
you know I love you

as I love icopress, I recently held the altcointalks community award and I understand his pain, it's really complex to manage so many things
so my advice is due to that, avoid constraint to run into problems

You too can help by trying to be understanding

I don't know if this question has been asked before. In the pizza contest thread, what was supposed to be the pizza number 30 is labelled "exposition"
Can I vote "exposition"?

What do you guys think? I was aware with this, but trying to remain calm.

Unfortunately I don't see any rules of giving merit in voting thread, unlike in voting community awards. It's fine for users to give merit for their effort to create their own pizzas, but this one doesn't looks okay.

From the last three pages, I think those users are intentionally vote him because they're from the same locals.

Of course, participants can vote.
I guess they can even vote for their own pizza as well.

I can add that self-voting, even if not explicitly forbidden by the rules, would be a highly frowned-upon action.
There is an ethics of fairness toward the bitcointalk community that has a higher standing above the letter of the rules of this contest.

Better to discuss this in the discussion thread, and leave this on clean for voting.
