2. Are currently unexplainable without the use of anomalous technology.
3. Would currently be viewed as anomalous by even the most hypothetical non-anomalously augmented science.
4. Present a significant risk to the status quo."

My favorite aspect of this is how the Objective Awards sound more and more like Fallout perks the further down the list you go.

Anyway, this is smart af. Is this the first time someone's done something like this for a contest's results? I'm not sure I would have a suggestion to improve this beyond what's already here. Edit: Seconding Deci on a few things, though namely I think "most controversial" is pretty normal-sounding for a list like this. That said, my frame of reference for such things is not based upon this site, so I'd defer to her for better judgement in the end.

I dunno but I'd like to see more of them personally and anyone can do it. It helps to have something like a listpages contest tracker to get some of the data. lol good if you can pick out any more Fallout perks, throw them out.

Most Divisive

If we're wanting to showcase the best of a contest, I think this sticks out way too much.

Break-Out Performance

Why would this be a poll?

Most Controversial

What decides controversy here? I'm not sure this one especially is needed.

9 members posted their first works as a successful 4Kon entry

Does this include members who posted articles that were deleted before?

It doesn't, I used "successfully" in the most non-arbitrary way I could think of, the survival of the article. I'll add that in as a footnote, thank you. I think I answered your question.

Uncannyon 07 Aug 2018 18:31

Out of curiosity, at what point does an article count as successful enough/beyond danger of deletion to be counted as a successful first work?

Edit: Because mine's currently reached 25.

"Success" here is defined as "not deleted". I wish I had kept track of how many 4k entries were tagged for deletion; it was a lot. You and your entry is now included in the number, thank you for the note.

Edit: Actually, to correct you, it is a 26 now that I've read it. :)

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Re: Post 4k-Contest Supplemental Awards, Polls, and Misc Data

Modern_Erasmus 02 Aug 2018 01:10

There's actually one previous Tiamat article, and Eigenweapon was a "sub-class" rather than a full class, so I don't think they count for the new class one.

I think divisive and controversial could be combined into one.

For break out, maybe just the highest rated first time article?

Bit of a self plug, but I think the fact that mine and tretter's 4k was the final one posted, at 12AM on the first with 18 seconds left, is a cool bit of trivia.

(account deleted) 02 Aug 2018 12:28

That is cool, I'll add that tidbit. Thank you for the info about the object classes. Per you and Decibelles, I'll do something different with the divisive/controversial award and will use your suggestion for the break-out article.

GentleGifts 15 Aug 2018 15:10

I do believe that under such criteria the breakout would be me? Alexandria Eternal is my first article.

Also, how in the heck am I up for 'Most Feels?' Surely Alexandria's nowhere near Save Her or Someone to Watch Over Us?

Don't sell yourself short there, people reported feels in the comments regarding (spoilers:) the death of the Keeper if I'm not mistaken.

I apologize, I didn't realize your submission was your first; the award has been corrected.

GentleGifts 16 Aug 2018 03:21

I'd double check this, but I believe Researcher Blasko's Save Her is also a first article.

You are correct thanks

Re: Post 4k-Contest Supplemental Awards, Polls, and Misc Data

stormbreath 08 Aug 2018 00:35

Noting that I changed my article's name from Under-Palenque to This Is Not A Place Of Honor, and should be included under that data point.

Added, thank you.

Noting that On Cowboys, Catholicism, and the Cretaceous is also available in Chinese!
:D

Very cool.

Re: Post 4k-Contest Supplemental Awards, Polls, and Misc Data

WrongJohnSilver 15 Aug 2018 17:15

SCP-4242 is also in Chinese.

(account deleted) 15 Aug 2018 17:36

Added, thank you.

Re: Post 4k-Contest Supplemental Awards, Polls, and Misc Data

Modern_Erasmus 15 Aug 2018 19:04

Honestly tracking the translations might not be a good idea because there's already been a ton. I think most of the entries are in Chinese at this point, and the higher ranking ones have even more translations.

Re: Post 4k-Contest Supplemental Awards, Polls, and Misc Data

(account deleted) 15 Aug 2018 19:12

I see.

Re: Post 4k-Contest Supplemental Awards, Polls, and Misc Data

EbenezerShark 15 Aug 2018 20:33

Heeeeey I'm currently the last name in the stats. Really surprised more people didn't do new object classes. Many people told me they either didn't understand my class or thought it was bad which I understand from a writing point of view but I was definitely really excited to create it.

A LOT of people didn't like my article too but I'm still very proud of it, I put a lot of my ideas and thoughts and feelings into it and I'm glad it was as strange as it was yet still a successful first skip.

Re: Post 4k-Contest Supplemental Awards, Polls, and Misc Data

higans 20 Aug 2018 16:42

Honestly, as someone who also invented their own object class (Eparch) I was hesitant to use it, in fact I used safe at first. Eventually I realized that it wouldn’t cause my skip too much damage if people don’t like the object class. So I added it since I liked it.

Honestly, I realized that if you really want to add something and it won’t hurt your article too much then I say go for it.

Re: Post 4k-Contest Supplemental Awards, Polls, and Misc Data

GentleGifts 27 Aug 2018 00:35

Random nitpick, but I feel like the 'club' awards only need to go for their highest grade.

Like so:

400 Club:

Taboo

300 Club:

Bush vs. Gore

200 Club:

Kedesh Nayana
Someone to Watch Over Us
A Dream Come True
Future Imperfect

… and so on.

That would work too.

Bluedanoob 30 Aug 2019 22:30

I didn’t see this until just now! Don’t ask why. But it’s an honor to have made the lists I did!
