Paragon_Leon Posted November 2, 2001 Author Share Posted November 2, 2001 Well, if you just sit back and don't gather votes, don't be surprised if this happens. Getting clan-members to vote is perfectly legal. And it let's these forums grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WC_heavyarms Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 Just because I don't make a huge, nice banner or something else doesn't mean that someone else should win. I will have to ask clan people to vote for me, or else I am really goin to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tie Guy Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 Originally posted by crazy_dog 15 NO'S?! OH CR@P!!!!!! Hey, at least you didn't get 26 no's like Delphi Which reminds me Leo. Not that i have anything against Delphi personally, but are you gonna let someone that got that many "no" votes onto the senate? Its obvious that lots of people don't want him there, yet he might make it over someone who is more qualified, and better liked. Besides, hew only has a 51% or so majority, one more vote and it would be even. I guess my real question is "Do percentages such as his ave anything to do with getting elected, or is it based purely on yes votes?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon_Leon Posted November 3, 2001 Author Share Posted November 3, 2001 Well, to get back to this thread... One idea i have, is that the sympathy vote-result will work through in the second round.. You see, in the second round, you start off with the amount of yes-votes that you have after you deduct the no-votes from your first-round amount. Oh boy, that sounds complicated, doesn't it ? Here's an example. If you have 12 yes votes and 5 no votes, you'd start the second round with 7 yes votes (12 - 5 = 7) If you have 8 yes votes and 18 no votes, you'd start with -10 votes, meaning you'd reach 0 votes when 10 people vote yes. This way, you 'sympathy-result' is the outset of the second voting round, where you only can vote 'yes'. Or, I can have the mods have their say over the amount of no-votes for every single contender.

Guest Luke Skywalker Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 I think everyone should start at zero. Because I know that I recieved, as well as many other forumers, no votes from people like viper who shouldn't have been able to vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 Well, if we start at zero then it doesn't matter at all how many people didn't want you, or even how many people did want you. If we start at zero, then subtract the no's from the final vote, then you don't give anyone credit for getting alot of yes votes in the first round. The only way to do it all fairly is to add (or subtrat) the difference between the yes's and the no's in the first round from the total yes votes on the second.

Delphi's Clone Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 pargen this is undemocraticle if you had told people that no votes detract from your votes in the second round i'm pretty sure alot less people would have voted no for me!!!!! ever single person that gose to the second round should star off with 0 you told every one in the beggining that no votes are only a way of showing people that this person has done somthing wrong!!!!

Delphi's Clone Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 here you said this pargen leon First question: we go with 7 first. Second question: no. The no-votes are a way for forummers to have their say on people who misbehaved on the boards. here is the link so [please dont tell me you didnt say that please do answer http://forums.galacticbattles.com/showthread.php?threadid=2533 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 What's your point? Are you a bad loser? If we started on zero ... than what would be the point of round 1? And why you have so many 'no' votes? Maybe it is because you're an imposter ... people don't like imposters. No votes are indeed a way to let people who don't want you in the senate have their say. Ofcourse, not all 'no' votes would have to mean that people don't like you. It could be that some people didn't understand the way of voting, or that someone who's running voted 'no' for you because he fears your competition. But when you have more 'no' than 'yes' then it's safe to assume that you're not wanted in the senate. And BTW, his name is Leon or Paragon_Leon ...

Guest Lord Tirion Posted November 4, 2001 Share Posted November 4, 2001 "If we started on zero ... than what would be the point of round 1?" Round 1 was to filter out the candidates down to 14. Just like playoffs from sports. "No votes are indeed a way to let people who don't want you in the senate have their say." No votes should not be a consideration at all in my opinion. Even thought I would be among the top vote getters by Leon's method and would prosper from it, I still dont see any validity in such a method of electing officials. How many of us voted for one person only and voted no for the rest because they did not understand the voting process? I know atleast 10+ people that did this. Thats 10 no votes for a person that shouldn't be right there. And then we have the people like Viper and such that I am sure contributed to a lot of "spite" votes. So basically Round 1 brought us down to 14 nominations. That is what Round 1 should have been for. This round we should all start fresh and let the forum once again vote for who they feel would represent their wants and needs the best. Then the top nominees with the most votes would come to comprise the Senate. It is very simple and simplicity is the key =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
