Altitude for the win! I can't say I'm disappointed. :-)

No, LC, that would just make results less accurate. If we checked, there are probably lots of times where the winner was not the 2nd place in the previous poll. If your guy can't win the poll under the current rules then there's a reason for that.
Switching to 1-day polls would be all we needed to speed things along. But with possibly less votes coming in, ties would be more likely, so run-offs to break ties should be implemented. The poll's less fun for me if we can't draw solid conclusions from it. |

I do have to agree with JJ that the "top two" actually rarely reflects who places next.
See Kwinn. Sgt. Major. Zanya....runners up for multiple polls in a row before winning. Or someone like Appel who has ranged up and down the list each poll. 1 day polls have a few key problems: 1) Fewer voters get in per day 2) Increased risk of ties, 3) a first-mover advantage to someone who jumps to an early lead but drops off at the end 4) the nominations would become a pain to track (this is mostly an issue for me since I can only schedule it once every other day ish) If we did do the run-off that JJ suggests it also wouldn't speed things up much. That said of 211 characters now placed, fewer than 30 have placed as part of a tie. Less than 15%, so I don't think its skewing things to any degree tat matters. |

You could run the run-off poll at the same time as the next poll so it wouldn't slow things down. We know the tied characters get the next slots, the run-off just finalizes their positions.

Eh. Personally I like the occasional tie.
Though there were a LOT between 150 and 200 (over half of all the ones we've had actually) so I can see why you might be less than thrilled with them currently If its a rarity, it shows that characters had a equivalent impact, and that's ok. But it should't happen all the time. |

Nothing's more regular than doing them in every poll. If you're only going to the bathroom every 5 days, you're not regular. By putting it off, some unpopular losers get to stay in for 9 polls while others only 5, based on nothing but the arbitrary time at which they entered the poll.

i voted the character who was part of my childhood. If Appell had an action figure, i'd be more sympathetic. Why everyone loves a shockwave knock-off is a mystery to me. He had no reason to exist.

That aside, if they are an absolute failure in their first 4, then I have been dropping them. No one has managed to get less than 3 votes in their first 3 poll yet, so it hasn't been an issue. Steamroller MIGHT have 7 poll of ignominity rather than 5, but there's also the fact that he almost won a couple polls before dropping back to consider. Rolling averages work for certain things, but I don't feel that they're universally perfect here. *shrug* |
