Alienware Challenge Week 1 Voting

by EYJohn • 7 Jul 2010, 14:23 • News
After throwing the lucky four contestants in the deep end and assigning them to find the "things that are unknown to most and bring us the human interest stories that matter" at the ESWC global finals, it is now time to decide who best performed in that task.

That decision will come down to you, the public voters, who have been following the exploits of the Alienware four as they backpack around Europe in a bid to win $5,000 and an Alienware M1x laptop.
The winner and runner-up of the public vote will not only be presented with extra money into their budget for that week, $150 and $100 respectively, but it will also go towards determining who wins the grand prize.

This week the challenge facing the contestants will be to learn more about street performers and street artists.

As it says on the Alienware Challenge website:
QuoteWe would like to see our contestants go out and meet the most interesting street performers they can find and blog about it. We want the contestants to learn about these street performers and let us know their stories. Ultimately, we would like each contestant to also go out and “learn the trade” from one of them, taking over the role of a street performer/artist and entertaining random pedestrians and bystanders in the streets. With a plethora of options available to them, ranging from musically inspired artists to painters, jugglers, card tricks, acrobatics, comedy, mime, living statues the contestants are sure to get some interesting stories for us to read this week.

Those of you who wish to cast your votes can do so here.

Before voting be sure to read through and watch the videos in each of the contender's blogs.

I think you replied to the wrong person? And besides any girl who isn't extremly ugly would get the most votes anyway.

Indeed. The contest hasn't even started and she's already won. Hope I'm proved wrong, but it seems unlikely :/

How would I win if no one votes for me? lol. I may be the most talked about, but most certainly i'm unknown in the HM community so yeah I believe you are wrong :)

They screwed up selecting the competitors imo. They should've chosen at least one from each of their major eSport communities (Crossfire, Tek9, Cadred), thus creating a sense of community spirit, friendly competition and participation of all the Heaven Media Esport site visitors.

It's amazing how assuming u all are! Just to clear a few things up; The reason I have many followers on twitter is because i've probably had a twitter account much longer than these other guys. I worked in online marketing and social networking was a part of it, so obviously I would have more "friends". Same goes with facebook. When you've been in gaming as long as I have, this is inevitable.

Also don't be so fast to think that I would win. Like expected, all people want to talk about are my looks instead of the content I make so if I really gave a shit about that I wouldn't put up pics and video of myself where I know I look rough. Since everyone thinks i'm ugly and also assumes that I will win, this leads me to believe that I actually have the lowest amount of votes. At least I know though that the votes aren't because i'm female but because people like what i've been doing.

This comments that you are likely to win by default aren't a criticism of you, Liefje, but an observation on the state of the eSports scene. I would imagine from the demographics of the scene that the people following this will be almost universally male, and relatively immature - I may be being overly cynical here, but I think that combination will result in them voting for any female more than for any of the three male contributors.

In retrospect, I shouldn't have said I hope you don't win. This isn't true - I hope whoever posts the most interesting content wins, but I believe the others will have to overcome a hurdle of your having an in-built headstart. It's not something you can do much about, and I don't think you're deliberately exploiting it, which is admirable.
