Got it Ryan. But in general, does anyone know of websites that sell sabers which give that glow?

    Answers about the polling:

    1st: The survey does not live on the same server as the forums, it is at: http://fanfilms.theforce.net/survey/sabercompvote.asp
    Although, it may still be blocked at your school. Can I move it? I'm afriad not. It's totally dependant on the database that it's attached to.

    2nd: Statistics for the poll. They are purposely hidden, even after you make you vote so that no one discusses it. We don't want anyone's vote swayed like that. But, YES, once the voting is closed, the results will be revealed.

    3rd: To answer a question I got in PM. How does the voting get scored.
    Simple raw data. Each vote for each place is counted. There is no score for getting a 1st place vote over a 3rd place. They all equal 1 vote. And, so far, the percentages accurately reflect the totals from the voting. So, I'm confident that this will work just fine.

    Yeah, no matter how hard you bash, insult, or *ahem* critique my entry, there's no way you can be as harsh as I was to my own. Seriously. In my opinion, mine sucked. You guys are being WAY more generous than I was.

    I'm surprised you're not weighting them durb... i.e., 3 points for each 1st, 2 points for each 2nd, and 1 point for each 3rd.

    Simple raw data. Each vote for each place is counted. There is no score for getting a 1st place vote over a 3rd place. They all equal 1 vote.


    Is this really a good idea? Suppose we have 100 voters, and it's a tight race for 1st and 2nd, but everyone agrees on the 3rd place entry? Then the 1st and 2nd place entries would have 50 votes each, and the 3rd place entry would have 100 votes. Then the entry that everyone thinks should be 3rd actually wins because of the split vote for 1st and 2nd.

    I recommend using a system based on the idea of "majority ordinal." In this system, the entry with the most number of 1st place votes wins. If there is a tie for 1st, then 1st and 2nd place votes for each entry are combined and the entry with the most votes wins.

    I don't have a problem with them not being weighted, but the form is misleading and implies that they are, which can affect voting.

    True. When I voted, I expected that my 1st place would take more kudos than my 2nd and 3rd. Otherwise I wouldn't have stressed out for so long as to which order to put them in.

    And by the way - the statistician in me always prefers weighting to some kind of "majority" idea. A properly and transparantly weighted poll is much harder to challenge philosophically IMHO.

    Once weighting fails, then one goes to "which got more firsts" or "which got more votes period"

    Error in communication then. Something to consider for the next contest. Alternative is scraping 2 days worth of votes, a tricky idea.

    Pardon if missed the post mentioning this, but I didn't see it. Is there a set date for the polls to close?

    That depends on how the data was stored, Covax.

    At any rate - I'm not going to press the matter further.

    I was justly rebuked by Bobobear:
    "Ultimateguy was being sarcastic, rdodson"

    & DarthMeek&Mild:
    "Those silly 05-ers."

    Consider me eating crow. I used to post AGES ago, but haven't in about 3 years so I did have to re-register. Oh well. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I like this forum because it is the only way to stay out of the spoilers.
