[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 2064168, member: 1"] No, I thought it would be a cool idea to allow an ENnies discussion thread; to even host it myself on my website and let everyone hash out which voting system seemed best. Evil, aren't I? Last year, I did that, yes. I figured I'd play the odds. As you say, it could conceivably happen. Possibly. If you used an Infinite Probability Drive. Maybe, just maybe, one of the many thousands of votes was genuinely like this and got lost because of the system. I very much doubt it, but if it did, I'd rather lose one vote out of thousands than have dozens of non-genuine votes of that type. That's fairer to the publishers. No slippery slope. I didn't look at the votes themselves. The system was in place before anyone voted, and automatically rejected that specific voting pattern. Furthermore, people were warned about it beforehand. Let's turn this discussion directly away from any possible perception that anyone is looking at votes and making personal judgements. Anyway, this discussion is pointless. We're attempting to come up with a fair voting system which works as best it can. There are plenty of ideas above, there may be more ideas. [/QUOTE]
