Update on Rules for this vote:
I see there is a problem if too many people skew a nominee's vote tally up by exclusively voting for their preferred option and no-one else, and if this happens too much, it may exaggerate the total votes for particular nominees. To remedy for this, I looked at Snooks' previous suggested formula, and also tried working on one of my own (without success). So, instead, I have decided to apply a new rule in the tallying-up of points for every nominee where there are less than 4 nominees submitted. I think this is fairer all round and reduces the impact of disproportionate point swamping through tactical voting, particularly where a voter is nominating only one nominee. These new additional rules are an adjunct to the existing rules whereby voters are permitted to nominate as few nominees as they wish (ie. one), but these new rules of less points for a low submission of nominees will apply in these circumstances henceforth.
The new rules as follows:
Where there is only 1 nominee, instead of 8 points, they will instead get 5 points.
If there are only 2 nominees, in ranking order, Nominee No.1 will get 5 points, and nominee No.2 will get 4 points
If there are only 3 nominees, in ranking order, Nominee No.1 will get 6 points, nominee No.2 will get 5 points, and nominee No.3 will get 4 points
For voting lists of 4 nominees or more, the points allotted will apply as they are set for the total maximum nominee list of 8 ie. 8 points for 1st place, 7 points for 2nd place, 6 points for 3rd place, 5 points for 4th place, 4 points for 5th place, 3 points for 6th place, 2 points for 7th place, & 1 point for 8th place.
The rules in full:
Voters can vote for a maximum of 8 Xpanded nightshow babes (you may declare any number of nominees less than 8 if you wish). Nominee choices MUST be LISTED IN RANKING ORDER, with your favourite choice at the top of your list. Babes will be allocated points relative to their positions in all submitted nomination lists accordingly, with first place receiving 8 points, 2nd 7 points and so on down to 8th place getting 1 point. If you only wish to vote for one favourite, that is fine. However, the following additional rules apply for votes of less than 4 nominees:
Where there is only 1 nominee, instead of 8 points, they will instead get 5 points.
If there are only 2 nominees, Nominee No.1 will get 5 points, and nominee No.2 will get 4 points
If there are only 3 nominees, in ranking order, Nominee No.1 will get 6 points, nominee No.2 will get 5 points, and nominee No.3 will get 4 points
For voting lists of 4 nominees or more, the points allotted will apply as they are set for the total maximum nominee list of 8 ie. 8 points for 1st place, 7 points for 2nd place, 6 points for 3rd place, 5 points for 4th place, 4 points for 5th place, 3 points for 6th place, 2 points for 7th place, & 1 point for 8th place.
