FFC2 - A Competitor who has voted for ALL of his Competition!!

This is the most sportsman spirit I have seen in a contest ever! Mr.Praxtor has voted for each and every competitor in FFC2!

He actually went to every single profile of the hundreds that signed up and voted for everyone of them! Wonder if this is outta liking the talent on the application or is this Praxtor's strategy to getting votes?

Either way, it has helped him with his FFC2 application quite a bunch, because he is leading among the videographers which is his category.. This is encouragement for other participants to check out their competitors and comment on their apps instead of just spamming and voting for them.

Good Going Praxtor.. Your strategy was good.. Helped you climb the leader-board!

hehe it simply works.
vote everyone.
other category votes do not matter to you since you are not competing. if you get a single vote back from your competing category you break even. rest all are bonus votes.

no i am not contesting pradeeps idea behind.. but if you want to get more votes it works.

@natasha voting everyone in the competition doesn't do any good. as someone has pointed out.. it ends in a tie. so i wouldn't call it sportsmanship.
if you have your judgement of the best three in a category you are competing in. and you vote for them. thats true spirit :)

Hey Pradeep, (We share the same name) Its not about your qualification buddy... its about the spirit. I might be good in some ways.. but there are other people who are good in different ways. You know how to handle a camera.. shoot the moments, edit it and post it.. You have all the qualities and thats make us equals.. I learned it because I have passion for it.. You didn't learn it... but u still do it.. on your own.. shows much more passion :)... Don't worry they don't take people based on where they learned or how qualified they are in videography.. They will take you for your spirit, loyalty and fanaticism towards RCB and thats all they want :) Your videos are good and up to the mark to make some amazing videos for RCB.. Best of luck and cheer up :)

No questions about sportsman spirit.. But i hav a question for RCB..maybe its because am also competing in same category..
He is a Professional Viodeographer.. He has studied about videography n film making.. We/I dont stand even a % chance against him..
If thats what RCB wanted to get, a professional man for their work why is this FFC2 contest being done.. U guys could hav jus hired someone, best in their work..
its your call..
u may say am jelous but am really tryin not to be..

Dear Chetan and Praxtor,

I thank you both for voting for me and in response I have voted for you both too. I honestly don't agree to you when you call it spamming if someone posts references saying vote for me too.

This is a competition and we have got to win. As far as best people getting the role, that is quite obvious because the judges won't be dumb and they are one of the best guys in the business. Asking other contenders to come up and vote for me is not at all different from going to our online/offline friend circles and asking them to vote for us.

How can you call it unfair competition buddy? I am sure the moderators will do their jobs perfectly, though, all of us including Praxtor, you and me have benefitted from friendly votes. Praxtor chose not to write any references because he had time, for someone like me who has joined just a couple of days back and can't afford to lose this chance for life, how is it unfair buddy?

If you talk about the quality of work, then there would automatically be no more than 20 applications in all four categories. Quality is for judges to decide and for us, at this point of time, it is important to prove our passion and when we go to auditions, then to prove our talent.

Goodluck bro and don't underplay others. As Praxtor aptly said, "It is not within everybody's heart to have patience and passion required to go around voting and referring a thousand odd listed profiles.

What will be criteria for selecting people...The game has started from now as people selected encourage each other..its called sportsman spirit...
lotuspetals on 25 Feb 2010, 10:05 PM
hehe yes dear, ur right. i voted you becoz ur work impressed me. u r very pro when it comes to camera and clicks. i hope we will see very best peoples selected by tomorrow yes lots of peoples voted others and in ref asking for vote, i dont know what kind of ref is this :P it is more like spam. anyways its upto moderator to decide it. as a fan i will like fair refs. good luck guys. winners i m happy for u and losers dont be dishearted and get ready for next season.

Hi Chetan, thanks for voting for me.. first I didn't vote just to get vote.. but to know who I am competing with :). And second people are doing that to just get vote.. cuz u can see in the references they are asking for vote in return of their vote.. I didn't leave any references, I just voted.. and wrote references only if the work was exceptional.. like check Raghu's profile.. But all i can say is it ll never tie.. cuz not everyone has the time and the patience to go to each profile to vote :)
Praxtor on 25 Feb 2010, 05:32 PM
good if everyone will keep voting everyone at the end it will be a tie. Nice try dood but dosnt work in competition ;) see u around.
chetan-pagariya on 25 Feb 2010, 05:26 PM
it was good. Helped you stay on top on your category.. encourages applicants to all come up with their own strategies to move up.. :) Good going!

Praxtor on 24 Feb 2010, 11:01 PM
Thanks, it was a bit of both.. I checked out all of them.. and voted for everyone...sure I got some votes back.. but still most of them are my friends who voted for me :) I know the happiness when I got my first vote.. and I went through each and every profile and 98% of RCB fans who participated are talented :)

Like it says in the anthem

Inka hai kamal
Har pal ek gehri chaal
Lohe se loha bhide
Dum se dildaar lade

We are game for more :)
