How are battles decided? |
Our battles use a unique system called Vote Power (vp). Rather than just have battles decided by who has the most votes each users vote counts towards a certain amount of points. Depending on the users history with voting their Vote Power may be worth more or less than the standard two that everyone starts with. The fair votes club member, for instance may have a vote power of three or four while someone who has been caught voting against someone just because they don't like them or low rating or anything like that may have a vote power of one or even zero. This helps keep our battles fair as it takes away from those would would vote unfairly and gives priority to those who give honest, fair and descriptive votes. |
