Don't look at me.

Wow, that game was super fast.

I think it was pretty quick because there weren't as many players this time round, or fans of certain characters.

I think the only thing I would do, is if a character won 1 round ago, make him/her miss 2 rounds and then he/she can come back again. Other than that, I don't think there's too much to be done, and it's such a nice simple game, you wouldn't want to do too much anyway. :-)

I must disagree with JF, I think the defending champions should always come back for the next round. This would ensure that a large crowd always participates in the voting because Jack would always be in it. I do understand that sitting the defending champions out allows more characters to win, but if people get sick of a certain character winning then they will simply not vote for them.

Also I might consider allowing only six votes per day. Three for each person to add to any character and three for each person to subtract from any character. This would also bring more people to the voting, because their votes would matter more. These are just me humble opinions and anyone can feel free to disagree with them.

Oh by the way I am actually a guy, just so everyone knows.

^ Well knock me down with a feather. :swoon: That I did not know.

Hmm... yeah, maybe characters shouldn't be dropped just because they won, they probably wouldn't last long anyway as a) people would want rid of him/her as soon as possible in case they win again or b) people who helped to make that character win, may choose to defend another (like I always do).

I'm not sure about the 6 votes a day though. I mean, it can't be helped if some members are on more than others. If a certain character has more fans anyway, I don't think the amount of votes they post in one day will really help the other, less popular characters.

^I still think it's fairer to take out the winner of the last round, because if we have a few dedicated fans voting for someone like...Norry, for example, every round, it going to get boring for everyone else. Because I know me, I would vote for the same person.

Gah, I'm torn now.

As long as we can keep voting once evey hour (give or take a few minutes as I think we've all don at some point) I'm happy.

:blink:

wow, trying to digest all of this... :P my brain simply isn't working at the moment.

But for now (while I try to figure out what would be a happy medium) hopefully once summer starts more people will have time to bum around and vote.

Basically what I'm saying is...I like everything as is.

I don't know, I always have liked the idea that the defending champions should return the next round. The last round is a perfect example. Norrington was in the round and yet Barbossa still won. I believe there are more Norrington fans than Barbossa ones, but he still came out on top because people did not want to see Norrington win again. I am going to be bold here and say that even Jack would not be able to win every round. He might win often, but people will get sick of it and eventually vote for someone else.

I do agree with JF and Tar that the system we have been using is good, but I am just giving suggestions for what I believe would make it better. :cool:

Well I voted for Norrie to win in the very first round, but I never voted for him since, as I wanted someone else to win. I know that some people wouldn't do that, but as you said, most people would not want the same characters winning all the time.

Hm, so from what I can gather we have a few options now...

1.) we can keep it the way it is
2.) we can start bringing all the characters back
3.) we can have champions sit out for 2 rounds instead of one
4.) or we could turn the voting to only + and never - the characters... :confused:

I dunno, what do you guys think?
