"I'm confused. Here's how I understand what you're saying..."

I can clarify this for you.

"1. Battle A finishes. The 30 Users are given a chance to vote in fighters for Battle B, where three fighters will face Victor (The one who won Battle A).

"2. Presumably, each of the 30 users could nominate a different fighter, and therefore they would all be added to the poll.

"3. All 30 Users vote in the poll, each one electing to vote for their own fighter.

"4. Even if you throw a deciding vote, we would still have a 29-way tie for second place. Would the battle be whiddled down to 2-fighters? (I actually don't think I'd mind if that's what happened)"

'''Yes, the battle would be whiddled down to two fighters. When it comes to final decisions, second place doesn't matter. Also, deciding votes are only used if there are four or more fighters in first place in the polls.'''

"Any way, please correct me on where I'm wrong.

"I've just thought of another possibility that would be completely different. It would probably work better under a larger user group...

"1. A rotational order is divised for the Users.

"2. Each User creates a list of fighters they wish to see voted into battle that season. There could be 5-10 fighters per list (We'd need to choose a set number). The lists could be changed at any time except when they are active.

"3. We begin to move down the rotational order, taking as many users as we need fighters per battle. Their lists of nominated characters then become active, meaning that we can vote for them.

"4. Every user votes for a character from each of the active lists. If the lists are small enough, then hopefully multiple characters would recieve multiple votes and we'd have clear selectees for the ensuing battle.

"An example...

"Presume that Tee-Vee has just won a battle. It is Punctuation Penguin, Surtatb2007, and my turn to nominate fighters. Our lists are as follows:

"Punctuation Penguin - Benny, Scarab, Jay, Hikaru, Electrolyzer

"Surtatb2007 - Jack Fury, Master Chen, Clouse, Morro, Bansha

"Commandosaur - Alien, Alien Commander, Alien Queen, Frenzy, Terry

"Along come the users (Ourselves included) and each list is voted upon. Assuming there are 6 votes (Come back, Arctic Seahorse!) then the votes might appear as follows:"

Come back, ArcticSeahorse!

"3 Benny, 2 Scarab, 1 Electrolyzer, 0, 0

"3 Clouse, 1 Morro, 1 Jack Fury, 1 Bansha, 0

"5 Alien Queen, 1 Terry, 0, 0, 0 (1 Person's going to find themselves running from a Phoban armada)

"The next battle would accordingly be Tee-Vee vs. Benny vs. Clouse vs. Alien Queen (That would be one really awesome battle)."

Either Tee-Vee or Alien Queen would win.



'''I like how we're doing the polls now. Let me know if there are any eventual problems. I hope you were able to understand this better.'''
