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... )
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.
As for people being miles away from others, I actually felt that way maybe third or fourth round? I'm not sure, I know I peeked in the spreadsheet once or twice and I looked at the totals and I felt like, "lol okay don't have a chance to place at all haha". So I'm not sure if adding the total points helps at all in point earning. People who keep winning will always get more points, whether it's total points or just rewards for placing. Or maybe I'm just not understanding how it's possible to have a more level points allotment (as opposed to steep like rumblr?), in which case do let me know, I'm curious.
Also, another thing to consider--if you're counting number of votes in the final tally, maybe don't add points for winning (i.e. no 5 for first place, etc)? I think it exacerbates the lead--winners obviously get the majority of votes, they don't need any more, that sort of thing. I don't know how that feels like to other people though. It's nice to get a reward at the end of it, even if it's just extra points.
Or maybe instead of flat total number of votes added, a percentage of the voting instead, to at least weed out those wild discrepancies between number of voters. So like in the above example, winner #1 gets 6 points (because of 60%, and not 14 points) and winner #2 also gets 6 points (and not 7). As long as you have a percentage of people voting for you, you still do get points. It's just kind of normalized across the board.
Also, I think in am-rumble's case, it sounds a lot closer to turbo-rumble than rumblr, because of the concrit and the points you get from concritting and actually doing extra concrit. I don't remember how turbo-rumble is doing the votes though, maybe it's something that will be interesting to note (do they do it this way too? 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
