Some might be thinking this is the final vote? How far are you gentlemen planning to take these rankings?

Interesting trivia: Satan has been in the poll the longest for the most consecutive rounds: 27. Pale Peony is second with 21, and Crimson Asp has 14. All others have been in for less than 10. Of those three, however, Pale Peony is the most popular with a vote average of 9.57% since poll entry. Asp is second with 7.06% and Satan has 6.57%. When I considered changing the drops to every ten rounds awhile back, I assumed theoretically that characters should accumulate more votes and increase their vote average the longer they remained in the poll, but then I realized that length of time in the polls doesn't matter much. Satan, for example, has been averaging 2-3 votes per poll since he got in. So changing the drop system from 5 to 10 would have little to no effect. Mostly due to the nature of the nomination system.
I would, however, consider conducting the polls once a day, instead of every two, if everyone is down with that, although my work may interfere with that timeline occasionally. But if we moved to once a day, we could make our way through a big chunk of the nominees and un-nominated characters next year, taking the poll well past 600 or to its natural demise, whichever occurs first.

PS, I know for a fact that there are at least 250 more characters that I could list that haven't placed in the poll yet. The exact number is probably closer to 300 or more. Do we want to exhaust the list or shoot for an arbitrary milestone like 400? 500? 600? I think it's feasible to reach 600 but who knows how many voters will be around by then. But if we're gonna go for it, I think one poll per day could help achieve that before interest wanes drastically.

Have you been keeping track of whether the poll leader has switched often between the end of the first day and the end of the second? That's how I would judge if we lose any accuracy by going to one day per poll.
It's hard for me to imagine 300 more characters after we're already scraping bottom at 300 now. It seems like after the ARAH line is done, things are going to get more factionalized, between comic characters, JoeCon figures, cartoon characters and the 2000s retail line. I know if we start getting polls with nothing but comic characters in them, I'll lose interest. We've had 5 ARAH winners in a row and Windchill looks strong for next round. No ARAH figures are pollwarming and they all seem to be winning as soon as they get in. I'd say ARAH is on a streak. The nominations for them also look very strong, showing the interest is there. I think they could all win continuously until they're finished now if they could get into the poll. I also have a feeling Vypra has become overdue and would win on re-entry now. |

I don't think it will be an issue because the voters who want to continue contributing will check in more often and cast their votes each day. Some may forget and others won't bother but I've noticed we get a lot more votes on the first day than we used to. There's no way for me to go back and look at who was leading on the first versus the second day but I doubt we'd see much of a trend because not everyone consistently posts on the same day. Ultimately, everyone who wants to be a part of the poll voting will have to check in every day, though I might schedule an off day once a week.

I may miss a daily poll from time to time, but still support it.

I'd prefer have a buffer in case I forget to check in on a certain day, but now that the semester is over, I think I'll be more likely to be ok. I'm good with whatever the consensus is.
