End of the Year Popularity Contest Rules and Announcement

[Sanouske]

Lets not go crazy with these threads here. Save the serious charecter discussions until we get to the final rounds. Try to only post once for each thread until we are down to only 8 charecters remaining for both guys and gals. ;) If you talk about everything about them now there will be nothing left to discuss later. =p

Also, Don't forget that the vote threads go beyond what is shown on the first page. There are more on page two. ;)

On the side note, all the opponents are decided with a draw, so don't complain plz ^^

[kyo]

xD It looks like alot of them will end a draw.

Which is why i'm saying all the ones that lose here will enter in a harsher vote in the second level, something like a 7~8 choice vote where you can only vote one character.and the one that wins gets to go to the 3rd level.

And i'm thinking of cutting the duration of each contest to 5 days (maybe earlier, if no more new vote show up). we sort of need that or we won't make it at the end of the year. (sort of want to announce the winner on Christmas though ^^")

Due to time restrictions, i'm going to move the duration of each level to 5 days or we won't be able to make it before the end of the December.

will post the first level for the girls and the result of guys. now here are some problems to the contest i have to ask for oppinion.

1st, how to deal with ones that lose? like i mentioned before, i kinda think i want the losers on the first level to have a 2nd chance, in which they will be put into a 7~8 choice vote thread in the 2nd level along with the other losers (the normal level 2 guys are still one on one of cause)

2nd, how to deal with the ones that end in a draw? both character move to level two? or they go into the loser group solution above (like they will be put into multi vote thread (higher than 3 choices) along with the other ones that end in draw)

Opinions please pm me.

@sky: hold a one day sudden death vote. =p It usually works and it quick. As far as some popular charecters losing in the first round, that is how the cookie crumbles. =p

[skysongfan]

now how does that word? that one day sudden death vote, i put up a poll for all the characters that end in draw? or its several one on one polls?

well, i'm doing the girls right now, but i may do that before the guy's second level.

[Sanouske]

Well, you only do it for the charecters that tied and you keep the same match-ups. =p

[skysongfan]

oh phew, fortunately i just move it to the slaq section....i didn't keep a record of the match ups.
