RE: IFC S2R7 tie breaker results.
Wow that was a close one. My last sentence really did me in though hahaha. To clarify the story/poem for those interested, the last line was actually supposed to explain everything (it obviously failed though).
Willy Wonka was "white girl wasted" from drinking whiskey. He was so drunk that he instructed his oompa loompas to water the willow trees inside his factory with wine instead of water. Lol Anyway, nice work shaheerbari. Well done.
I was actually thinking about the judging yesterday and agree that we should brainstorm a way for the participants to act as a 3rd judge. So the 3 judges would be 1 - @apolymask, 2- the guest or regular second judge, and 3 - the participants as judges.
A way to work the participant judges would be as follows: participants cannot vote for themselves and participants who do not vote, forfeit their entry for the week. The second part has to be done because a failure to vote for others acts the same as a self vote.
That's my suggestion to get us through the regular season quickly. I think the finals should be judged without participant influence because as you pointed out people can game the system. I'm not sure how final rounds typically go but maybe only do a few final rounds to lessen the burden on judges. Instead of 5-7 rounds do 3 or something. Anyway, those are my thoughts to lessen the burden on judges and speed things along :)

Yup. It was really close! Thanks for clarifying the last sentence, I didn't get that until you mentioned it! That's funny.
I agree with everything you said except I'm not totally sure about the part about people forfeiting their entries if they don't vote? I'm not saying I disagree... I think I just need more time to think about it. That might actually be a really good solution and be the best way to proceed.
And yes, in terms of the finals it should be non players who judge, I agree. Good call.
I'm trying to remember how many rounds we had last season in the finals... Ummm.. Pretty sure there were 4 rounds until we got to the championship 1v1 and then the championship was... Best 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 5? I'd have to go look... But, I will keep that in mind what you suggested.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! :D I will make another official post about it sometime in the future where everyone should be able to vote.
Sounds good man. Yeah the forfeiting the vote is a bit harsh but my thought process is that by not voting you are withholding a vote from another person, so if you get a few votes from others and it's a close match then your non vote might tip the scale in your favor. For the regular season it doesnt really matter who wins the rounds though because there isnt much at stake and it's mostly for fun, so really it works either way (letting non voting get a pass or not). Anyway, I trust your judgement. That was just my 2 cents. Have a good Sunday!
