D&D 5E Survivor: The Other CLasses Vote Em off the Island

[steeldragons]

Why does it work that way... I mean by starting at 20 you only need 7 down votes and even 2 up votes wont save it? If the first 10 people don't like one thing, then even if 100 people who see it next do there is no coming back? this entire thing is kind of odd...

Oh, I've no idea. Apparently it's a D&D internet forums thing. All the other ones were set up that way. I suppose we could ask @lowkey13 (who posted the first two or three of the past week or so).

I mean, the object IS to weed things out...so, yeah, if a bunch of people all gang up on one of the options, it will go away pretty quickly. But...that's the point. To see what makes it the farthest...a.k.a. "wins." We can presume this means it holds the most popular support...but we really can't determine anything else by these things. They've been described (repeatedly) as nothing more than strictly lighthearted popularity contests.

There's no real "mathematics" justifications here. So, yeah, a "down vote" goes farther than an "up vote" because you're trying to whittle things down/out.

I don't know, it just seems so weird to me when an upvote could be tallied by the board itself as a poll...

I was the one who ported it here. We use the +1 -3 thing so stuff actually gets eliminated.

It comes from the EUIV forums where we voted on government types, religion etc (in game)

Well! This has...really gone nowhere since last night.

Let's try to prune down this mess -er, list- a little...

at this point is it just a argument I mean really I'm going to up vote the warlord and your going to down vote it... how is this better then yelling about classes?

At this point, yes, in fact. It is significantly better than going through the same circular arguments banging one's head against the same walls. Yes. Significantly better than yelling at each other.

It's what we've got, GMforPowergamers. It's not like you and I are the only people on EN world. I expected at least one or two of these to be gone by now.

I'll be back tomorrow...actually tomorrow, not when I think it's been "close enough to day"[you know who you are] to vote again. See you then...or not.

I'm fairly ambivalent to the TA, but of the above, it's the best one IMO. As far as the warlord, I'm just tired of hearing about it and a new thread every week about who wants one.

I down voted healer because I agreed with the idea it is just a cleric...and I feel bad for warlord fans so I have to upvote it
