I hear what you're saying as well. Excluding Brian from this (no offense man) since he clearly won the physical build section
I look at the others and see differences enough to warrant at least two or three categories for them. Some of us did profiles only, stories only, or a combo of both. Those that, say did a profile, may draw more votes based on the "ooo shiny" factor, and those that just did stories will get the "oh he just wrote some stuff" reaction and get viewed as less of an entry. Then there's the "I don't want to read a wall of text ooh look a profile" and then the story doesn't even get a skim. If they were split into separate groups than the stories could be judged on their own merit and not having any accompanying profiles doesn't detract from the quality of the entry.
It just wouldn't seem right if for arguments sake, Brian won just because he's the only one that built something therefore the others didn't stand a chance. I know this gets into voter mentality and the like but if that did happen you could easily make that argument and several people could feel rather cheated.
I've seen that happen in other circumstances when dissimilar entries are voted on as one group and I'd hate to see that happen, especially with this GB as everyone obviously put a lot of work and effort into their entries. Just because someone can build, or draw, or write, or draw and write shouldn't give them an advantage over someone who can just do one or the other.
How exactly to split up the entries though I'm not sure and I think we'd wind up with different categories with only 1-3 in each which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Lumping dissimilar entries together is going to to create unfair ad/disadvantages for all involved.
On a different but related subject, where the heck is Scooterman? Do we need to send out search parties again? Should we wait until he returns and see what his thoughts are since its his GB?
I don't know...
