I can't for the life of me get the polls to work for me, so it'll be great if everyone could answer in the comments thanks C: Also new layout! :D ( Read more... )
re:5 - I meant how many challenges a round should run for ;)
re:6 - In quite a few rumbles, it's just the set amount of points but I never really liked that system (if you take a peek at the spreadsheet here you might get a better idea of the points system). At the moment I'm just count up the votes (3,2,1 for positives and -1 for negatives) and if the total is negative in put it into the spreadsheet as 0. AND IDK EITHER. which is why I'm asking orz
re:7 - it might encourage participation a little more? Or at least I hope it would. But just, any general complaints about the points system? C:
re:8 - Sorry to hear that bb, my muse is a little of a whimsical thing to so I definitely understand the feeling <3
re:10 - I had a lot of fun watching as all the pretties came in! And thank you for participating ♥♥
DOH. Sorry, UGH afterwork!brain is fried D: As for my proper answer then...I think it does depend on the number of participants, and how many points are going into the final tally. For the number of participants, I think at the latter part of this round there's lesser participants which make it harder to keep going, so if that is the norm it's usually best to keep it relatively short. For the points, I did look at the beginning and assumed positives they were going into the final tally, but I'd lost the link and wasn't 100% sure anymore. I'm actually quite torn. The thing is, it's so much harder to get motivated to continue doing the rumble, in general, if you see someone with a crazy amount of points and you're in like the low 10s or 20s. Not everyone will want to continue regardless of it they have a chance to place in the end--I would venture to say that for most people, it's discouraging to see someone with 30+ while you're inching along at 5+ or something. It's also very, very dependent on the popularity of a given round's voting

Hmm that's a really good point but I still like to count the positive votes into the tally because otherwise, the only way you could earn points is through winning challenges which also ends up messing with things (i.e. rumblr at the moment where only 2/3 people are winning the challenges each week and they're miles ahead of everyone else. I sound bitter. I'm probably bitter). I also like that someone may be able to be the overall winner without actually winning only individual challenges (no matter how slim the chances may be
( ... )
Oh, I did understand the votes to be at least 0, but more if you have positive votes :) That wasn't too convoluted in my opinion, although that may be because I tend to be around weird logic a lot, lol

Oooh, interesting on the turbo-rumble bit then! I started to get interested in finding out if there's a way to see the spreadsheet for that round, but ugh no, too lazy lol.
And it was just a suggestion :) It's definitely a lot of work already to run this, so anything to make it easier :)

....I know that feeling, it is the feeling I get when I participate in animan lol
I'll consider the extra points for winning too (but I feel they are mostly there for the mod choice's extra points)
And uhh while percentage of voting sounds like a good idea I really don't think I'd be bothered to calculate the percentages every week sorry orz
