Top Posts of the August 2023 Election
Post Body

Good Afternoon AusSim,

As per request and my agreement (and promising this almost 2 weeks ago), I am here to present the top campaign posts of the last General Election. A small preamble on this; I will be releasing the raw mark (it is out of 30), and the category it scored highest in. There will be three categories of post; speech, poster and video/radio ad. So with that out the way, here is the top speech from the campaign:

It was the 4th post from u/riley8583, found here. It scored a 22/30, scoring highest in quality/effort. It still scored quite high in the other two categories. It scored high for a few main reasons. The first being that it went into quite a bit of policy, targeting the people in his electorate directly with what they would want to hear. It also looked at his opponents well, again, telling them what they would want to hear, in basic “my opponents have unbeneficial policy, here is our policies, here why they help”

We now move to the best poster of the campaign. There are a few posts that are top, however I have only included this one post as it was just a singular poster, rather than multiple (quality over quantity prevailed here.) It was u/mostlywellthen’s first post, found here. It scored a 21/30, unsurprisingly, scoring highest in originality, though quality wasn’t far behind. The concept of individuals flip flopping may not be original, however in AusSims history, it has never been put into graphical form, especially not to this high quality.

Finally, video/radio ads. I have grouped them as they are similar categories who score similar marks. This time, I did include two posts as it ended up being a tie between a video ad and radio ad. The top video ad was by u/Youmaton on the final day, found here. It scored a 24/30, maxing out quality. It scored well as it looked into multiple issues, had people not in aussim talking on it (youma, how did you manage to convince someone to do that?) and was a good watch too. I wouldn’t skip this if it was an unskippable ad before a youtube video.

The top radio ad was by u/slow-passenger-1542, again on the final day of the campaign. It’s marking was the same as Youma’s ad, also topping out quality. It can be found here. It was a great listen, and without sounding like I teach English, was essentially a high quality persuasive speech.

I don’t have much else to say right now, other than incredible work by all across the like, 150 posts from this campaign, plus manifestos/debates. Good work all, see you in 3 months when we do this all again.

Thanks,

Anacornda
