Green Room - Week 7 - Day 3
Jan. 28th, 2016 09:34 amYesterday, 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)

Date: 2016-01-28 08:43 pm (UTC)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
