Yesterday, there was a question about how votes for teams work, that became a general question about voting. I figured everyone knew, but that was an incorrect assumption on my part.

With teams, voting itself doesn't change: You vote for the entries you want to support, the ones that you read and say "I want to support this"/"I want to read more from this person".

You can vote for as many, or few, as you feel like supporting in a given week.

There are no limits per poll, or in general.

(The only time that isn't true is if you are emailing me votes for a special vote... but I address those as they come up).


With team voting, the final number of votes of the individuals on a team are added together and then divided by the number of active members in a given week (byes are not counted in that total)

This is done for each team. The team with the lowest average vote total loses one member - the one with the lowest vote total.


Given that there was one person who didn't know - that means there are several others who didn't either, but just never mentioned it. All of the polls have been decided by a really small margin. It makes you wonder what would have happened if they have asked their questions earlier!

So I'm opening up the floor - what do you want to know?

(obviously, there are things I can't answer, but if I can, I will)

Your entries are due tomorrow: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/887291.html (that's something everyone *should* know!)

I want to know why I can't seem to write during regular hours. Apparently inspiration only really happens between 1-4 AM!

Not that I've written anything yet for this week's topic, mind you, but that's generally what happens.

Aaah! That makes sense! On the plus side, since commenting, I have managed to jot down a few paragraphs, so yay!

Tribes?!

I know no tribes!

I *MAY* have an adjustment for my *TEAM*, but there's nothing official yet...

Heh! I KNOW what you mean because I am a Jungian and well-versed in Freudian slips. (Is this dress see-through?)

1) What is the meaning of life ;)

2) What's an approximate time scale for how long you plan this season to be?

LOL.

Cool :).

I feel spectacularly dorky for asking this this far into the season but I am spectacularly dorky, so I guess I'll just go right ahead:

do people generally vote for themselves, or is that more of a faux pas / "don't do that" kind of thing? Thus far I haven't been voting for myself, but it made me wonder if we're supposed to be, or if that's just not done, you know?

Going back to my cave to write... :D

Of COURSE you should vote for yourself! Put your oxygen mask on first and all that. :)
