3D Mini: Wrath of the Death Knights: Voting Booth Now Open!

[YdoUwant2know]

Holy crap...

Amazing work, congratulations to everyone that competed, It was not easy picking the top 5 let alone 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

On another note, keep it top three. It already take me way to long to get the top three... If I had to rank 1-10 I would be here all day. Top five maybe, but top ten, uhh...

[DreameR]

top 3 is fine. it has worked for thousands of years and doesnt need to be changed.

if you come 4th, it just means you didnt push hard enough.

A most wicked Mini Comp, good luck everybody. I know with so many great entries voting is going to be tight.

Congrats to everyone on finishing and best of luck during the judging. I'm having a tough time choosing my top 3. So many really great entries in this one.

Wonderful work, everyone! I didn't have too much trouble picking my personal top 3, though in this particular case, I wish I had a 4th place vote! Anyhow, great work all around, looking forward to seeing who wins!

[wim]

wauw, most difficult time being a judge! So many good stuff.

[ploon]

Yes congrats to everyone, very tough to decide the top three.
Some beautiful work and a great learning experience.

Now one stupid question (they are my forte heh) hope i dont open a can
of invertebrates:

I was wondering how the scoring works and i'm not too good at maths but...
if say a 1000 people vote for entry Z at 2nd place.......but only 1 person votes for Z at 1st place...
Z could be beaten by X with only 2 votes, even if X had no votes for 2nd?

X total votes = 2 1st place
Z total votes = 1001 2nd place


Dunno if anyone gets what I'm trying to get at here?:uhh:
It just struck me that it would be better maybe to just choose 3 entries to win rather than trying to place them?

Just a weird thought...I need coffee lol :lucky:

[Yozora]

I think the way it works is this;
1st place gets 3 points
2nd place gets 2 points
3rd place gets 1 point

Simply add them all up to find the winner, so technically 4 people voting for 1 guy at 3rd place is worth more than 1 guy voting someone for 1st.

This is only a guess btw, I'm assuming this is how it works...

It could also be that each position is worth 1 point only... but then that defeats the purpose of choosing 1st 2nd and 3rd, might as well just be "choose your top 3" if it worked that way.

[ploon]

aaahhh that would make perfect sense Yozora!
If it doesnt work like that...it should!

[Cold]

Wow ploon, I like that:P you confused me though

I think it's best to picture it as a count up. For each entry, there is 1st, 2nd and 3rd place count ups. All you do is count up which is highest and compare this with others. For example:

Lets say 1st place - strength, 2nd place is agility and 3rd place is inteligence.

y has = 20 str 21 agi 9 int
x has = 32 str 26 agi 5 int
z has = 30 str 20 agi 10 int

So, y would be automatic second place because x has taken the first place beaten all the others. z gets 3rd place because y has taken the second place beaten all other remaind entries. Even though z might have been close to favour first place he only got 3 place.

This scenario might happen alot, but we wouldn't really see it if we don't see all the numbers. But yea, as someone said, just leave it as it is if it ain't broke don't fix it.

[Yozora]

interesting theory cold... I dont like it at all from a logical perspective, it would be totally unfair on z since he got most overall votes in all 3 positions but still came below someone who got less votes.... but it does work.

Only problem is when they announce winners, they list the top 7 now. So using your theory, top 7 would be impossible since there are no votes for 4th-7th, and hence no "stat" for those positions. Only logical solution from this point would be to give the 2nd highest "str" and place him into the 4th spot and then it all goes messy from there.

Its not broken, ploon was just wondering how it works.

[Cold]

Goood point Yozora!

Whats up with that anyway, what votes are they really using for 4-7th place? Or my theory is all wrong... im interested.

[Yozora]

umm scroll up a few posts, I think you missed my theory

[Cold]

OOOH perfect, makes complete sence now , yes I did miss that theory
