So domes and popularity contests have their own base rules and additional rules set by the hosting tyrant(s). But do you have self-imposed rules that you place upon you own entries for them?

Yes, but that's what I consider to be part of the base rules of domes.For Thunderdomes; previous winners should never be entered again.
House rule: ignore that base ruleWell, someone submitted a winner on a dome and no one did anything about it so it's not a rule for everyone. I mean, I'm sure for some it's "I don't care enough to look at who one so do what thou will" which, fair, but I'm definitely the kind who cares too much.
One of my rules is to not re-submit a dome entry that I had submitted in a previous dome (even if it wasn't the winner).make room for other greats.
Yeah, I get it but I don't do this myself. Even when I can think of a lot.I've seen a lot of people mention "one per series" with regards to their lists. I have a hard enough time generating a list to begin with, personally.
That's an OK house rule if you have enough (or way too many) options.I've seen a lot of people mention "one per series" with regards to their lists. I have a hard enough time generating a list to begin with, personally.
It's not a house rule for me but sometimes I will try to game the system by putting one of my more obscure favorites at #1.My Top50 vote #25 is almost always a joke-y entry. Just because. I can only think of once or twice when one actually made it!
I guess maybe some people (who have enough options) don't want their lists to be dominated by only one or a few different things.I don't know why one per series is a rule, even one per game is odd to me.
I've seen this sentiment expressed before in Thunderdomes and I've never quite understood it. People can do whatever they want with their dome votes and I also don't see why voting for your own pick would bother anyone else who's participating in the dome.And though it feels a little crass to do it for my own nom, I guess since nobody else has chimed in I’ll break the previous tie
