I understand your want to remove all votes but it would not put SmiteFire in a good state. People will still be coming here looking for guides and if all guides have only 1 or 2 votes and there's no clear order new players will think SmiteFire has no good guides. It's important for newcomers to feel confident in the guide they're looking up.

I see your point though, and am going to investigate alternative methods of calculating "top guide" / 80% score for this contest, I'll let you know if we make any changes!

Also @Minion, there's probably more to update than that since the jungle has changed and the items / god balances probably affect matchup / gameplay suggestions, but I see your point. However, keep in mind how much effort was taken to write that guide in the first place, THEN update it, and they're getting those raffle tickets, and I will be checking to make sure that people actually updated their guides and don't have outdated sections / information.

@Green hmm, may be a stroke of bad luck, I imagine with the influx of voters there will be a lot more upvotes going out as well. :)

Yeah it feels as if this contest is getting a lot of votes thrown out real fast. Not all of them thought out. At least I don't think that my Awilix guide is good to the point where it should be on top for assassin guides.

Although I can't complain yet. I don't seem to have been hit by the downvote bombs yet. Although I hope I never have to deal with that. I'd definitely say that OmgAsia or Greenevers should be above me on that note.

However. This competition has definitely given me a reason to hurry up and finish the last 2 sections of my guide.

One question mowen, does having "the best" guide mean the top rated for that type of god or topvoted? Because a bunch of outdated guides have a high number of votes and both are really different.

And this is making everyone comment on guides, what a dream come true :D

I'm curious as well Mowen. I honestly don't care about winning, nor do I think I deserve to win. (I'd honestly give my winnings to Greenevers or OmgAsia if I won). It's just a fun contest that's definitely giving me some incentive to write the last few sections of my Awilix Guide. Also it's sparked a lot of comments as well which is really nice! But is this based on Top Ratings or Top Votes?

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
