[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4938777, member: 40961"] Yeah... I'm kind of curious whether we'd get different results if we could restrict voting to people who are actively playing 4e. The warlord in particular is one that I think a lot of 3e fans dislike, but I'm not sure that's as true of 4e fans. I've also noticed that the warlord is a bit polarizing- there are some people who really, really love him, and some people who feel resentful that its a melee character that isn't as strong as a fighter, and who loses out in order to help others. This poll encourages people to target their least favorite, but it doesn't measure positive feelings. Different voting structures might produce interesting results- perhaps a dual voting system in which you placed one negative vote on the class you most want to vote off the island, and one positive vote on the class you want to protect? Under that structure a class with a lot of fans and a lot of haters would even out, while a class with only a few haters but fewer fans would be knocked out quickly. Not that I'm saying that's how this should be done. Its all just for fun anyways, its just interesting to wonder how things would turn out under other systems. I'm a political science nerd, and voting structures and how they influence outcomes is fascinating to me. [/QUOTE]
