For volunteer judges they would be picked before people started signing up so I think they won't be much bias there. Maybe. But even it's not like we wouldn't keep a watchful eye on that person/those people.

In terms of voting in general...scoring should never ever be based on 100% audience votes. Even with our battle, despite many disclaimers....I found at least 5 people voting multiple times no kidding. A few people actually voted with about 4 different accounts too. I was very disappointed in those people.

Ohhoho..trust me people are not shy in asking for free illustrations. I've seen some artists being mobbed when they just happen to take free requests. But of course those artists draw fairly well~

After thinking about it, I wondering if anonymity that great in the first place for newbie chorus battles? I mean the aim of these battles would to be discovered and remembered, and if you do so under a false name...I don't think it'll stick that well lol

Some other things I was thinking about was that maybe for the signing up process you could asked to be grouped with one friend so that when you are randomly grouped at least you can be assured that one friend in your group.

As for prizes....huuu I wonder what we could really offer....

> The only thing the wiki can offer is publicity, which I guess can be really important for some people.

> The only other thing I can think of is art but that is dependent on volunteer artists which is really really variable. Asking artists to volunteer directly is very rude in my opinion as they literally have no reason to help and is kinda like asking them for free art.

I'm always willing [to draw] of course but I don't believe my art is quite up to par as I'd like. Putting my art up as a "prize" is honestly very embarassing if the quality isn't "prize-worthy."

> I know some other battles have offered covers by popular youtaite as a prize as well as an original PV of the winning song but we can't offer that. Those take a lot of time (and at times collaboration) to make which most people will not spare unless there is some sort of great merit in that.

If I could I'd like to make an orignal PV but let me try make a PV first one day then I'll get back to you on that LOL
