Current Tally:
- Abstentions: 2 (Insano, ZenithBloodedge)
- Ahyan Shahrazad: 6 (Stormer, Eachiunn, opnerf, Taco, Saturn, Guyshane)
- Akiyama Akihiro: 4 (Imca, Aqua, Rhyme, deathpigeon)
- Remaining Votes: 3
- Needed to Win: 7 out of 13
Anyone else?
"Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible." - Monty Oum, 1981-2015The win is excluding abstentions. Don't worry, I can do math.
"Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible." - Monty Oum, 1981-2015Well, we've been doing the same thing for every voting we've done for Ultimate, so it'd make sense that we do the same here.
"Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible." - Monty Oum, 1981-2015Insano's explanation is that abstentions remove themselves from the voting pool. So yeah.
"Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible." - Monty Oum, 1981-2015I think you understand math wrong then.
"[15-(votes + abstentions)]/2]"
The () put votes and abstentions in the same priority, if your removing abstentions you would need to remove votes too, which leads to fucked up tallies.
If you follow his directions exactly, it is 1.5 votes to win, since you cant have 0.5 votes, you round up to 2.

Amp wins the spot by majority vote. You have until the first IC post is made if you wish to change your vote, or the results will stand. Sparty will go on the wait list.
@Imca: Insano says that the real equation for votes needed to win is (Total Votes - Abstentions)/2.

"Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible." - Monty Oum, 1981-2015Stormer, there is still one more vote.
[15-(votes + abstentions)]/2]
[15-(11 + 2)]/2] = 1
Edit : I call bullshit on changing the equation in a running poll just to bias the vote and sink it for a player just because they have been around longer.
Not going to start a fight over it, but I still think it is a really, really uncool version of Moving the Goalposts

It was possible for sparty to tie though.
Assuming he got the remaining votes.
Edit : Wait still math fail, it would be 6 to 7, but bleh, still unhappy about this since it really seems like clique behavior to me to change the goal posts on a new blood.
Especialy if you look to where all the votes lie with every one who does not communicate on skype voting one way, and every one else voting another.

Imca, Insano wants you to check the times we've voted in Ultimate, and do the math according to the equation that he should have put up before.
Also, Insano speaks:
"Goddamn, I didn't expect this must trouble to come from [Total Votes - (Votes + Abstentions)]/2] instead of (Total Votes - Abstentions)/2. I don't know what the hell I was thinking when I set up the first one."

"Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible." - Monty Oum, 1981-2015If you read my edit, I admit I had a math failure, but I still don't like the clique behavior/voting line that formed.
With every one who communicates on Skype voting one way, and every one else another, it reeks of dirty pool to keep a clique together/exclude a newblood too me.
I am more then willing to move on, but I just want it kinda known that I find this suspicious as all hell, and at least think Sparty should get priority if there is a dropout. :/

Insano: "Well, since Sparty is the only one waiting, and his bio is pretty good, request granted."
"Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible." - Monty Oum, 1981-2015Imca, doesn't that make YOU suspicious of also being a clique too? Sounds hypocritical to me.
Don't insult me, or anyone else. I made my decision because I like Amp. I don't care about any stupid groupthink. ALL voting is Cliques. Either you are in the clique for, or the clique against, or the clique of people who are afraid to have an opinion.
You want someone you vote for to win for once? Vote for the winner.
