Hmm. I voted backwards because I don’t read your posts.

Since there aren't too many of us I can go in and correct that when I tally them, if you'd like.

In post 99, the worst wrote:Yup that's the crux of it.

A score of "1" on the vote card means you give the setup 12 points. A vote of "10" means you give it 1 point.

Sorry for the confusion; once we're through this round it'll be easier to all collab on an easier system I think.
Oh, in that case I also voted in reverse (giving my favourite 10, my less favourite that I liked 9, and so on, with setups I dislike being given -).

dashes are perfect. are both of you comfortable if I go into your individual answers and correct them to reflect how you actually felt? normally I'd just go by the tallies in the spirit of privacy but it would be easier. :oops:

otherwise I can wipe all the votes and start the poll again but I think I need to do a new poll from scratch for this... not sure how much time I'll have for this. :x

It's fine for you to correct the answers. (My votes aren't ambiguous anyway because I rated less than ten setups.)

I don't particularly care about privacy, either. Hell, I'd be fine with public voting.

Private voting is more resistant to people voting tactically, but I don't expect much tactical voting to actually be going on.

I think majority is a better voting system for most setups than plurality. Are there any other voting system suggestions we can use in setups?

Preferential system. Players list their preferred lynch from most to least, and players with the lowest number of votes are removed until a majority wagon is achieved.

Electoral college: for the first half of a game day, each third of the living playerlist votes for a representative; in the second half of the game day, these three determine the lynch. This goes away in mylo/lylo, replaced with king-making??

Though this challenge had its.... challenges, I’m already enjoying how much setup creativity it’s generating!

Reverse voting. Everyone picks x players to not get lynched, person with the least votes does. Day ends when only one person hasn’t been voted.

I've been trying to design a setup like that for a while, but the problem is that it needs to get really convoluted to prevent the scum simply circle-voting and becoming impossible to lynch as a result. You can do it, but the resulting ruleset looks somewhat arbitrary, and then you wonder why you weren't just playing Vote For Town.

Hmm. Tied results all lynched; # of votes = # of scum; day end when all votes active or deadline. I was joking but I think that solves your issue.

Edit: Upped # of votes, changed formatting, and decided I actually want to design a setup like this.

Results?

Also, voting discussion for next time?

I'd suggest a tiered vote, +1 setups you like until 2 Days before end of month and then a straightforward 1 vote per person between the final three candidates who got the most +1s. That way we're really only choosing between the cream of the crop and there's no incentive to give votes to setups you just don't like to distinguish them from setups you think are bad. I'd be fine with cfj's suggestion too.

okay *drumroll*
using #1 votes count > #2 votes count as a tie-breaker...

we have
northsidegal's panic room with 108 points!


in second place
we have
callforjudgement's keys to the bunker with 108 points!


and finally...

in first place
we have....
mith's rogue agent with a grand total of 120 points!!!


Spoiler: congratulations mith

i very very much like all 3 of these setups
via sheer points we had a surprising amount of draws (2nd place & 7th place were heavily drawn)

anyway, feedback on the voting system? i'm not sure which system would be best but also felt this was pretty heavily convoluted + slightly confuzzling

Either letting people double up votes or going with my suggestion gets rid of the feeling of being forced to vote. I also don't really see a need to have it be a secret ballot, because I doubt anyone is seriously going to campaign or vote politically. Secret ballots just make me have to wait to see the results.

Also, I think there is some merit to having the pick next month's rules prize be delayed a month to prevent downtime while the winner chooses the rules for the next month. If we decide to do that, whoever offered to come up with a set of rules in lieu of the victor could propose a set of rules for the dead month while we switch over (presumably March).

Also, congrats mith. Personally I think nsg's was the best tho. :P

(hope people don't mind me talking about this)

nsg's was my favourite as well. interestingly nsg + cfj's both got more #1 votes and were more 'loved'; mith's was just very universally 'strongly liked'
