If it's weighted based on actual postcount... um, yeah. We'll win by a landslide.

The Divine don't post anywhere near as much as we do.

How about if the rest of you get only half weight, since you're not informed on reasons other than posting experience?

And no, the Divine get their regular post count, not their actual one!

That sucks balls, Shiri.

So does lack of rants, so you'll manage.

In other words, "We will cheat and change the referendum total to something that suits us, despite what the majority wants."

Hmph!

If we're going to have a mega thread, it should be a "Random" thread. I'm not sure I understood Lack of Rants in the first place.

It's much harder to moderate those though, as when I come home, I have no desire to read the newest 20 pages. Although I've become somewhat of a lurker, I do still read through the threads.

Except that one.

Right. But it's weighted! That means it's fair.

You realize you just said, "I realize we'd be cheating, but it's fair"?

Weighted != cheating!

If you weight it around a maximum that wasn't actually attained, but was set to millions of post... sure it is!

I mean, that's like saying that Estarra plays 5,000,000 hours a week (because she sets it to that), so that's a "10". Thus, everyone else in Lusternia has a vote weight of 1. No matter how much they actually play!

If the problem is moderator effort, we just need to make Xenthos a mod.

Boo!

We'll cap it at 8,000,000 then.

Okay. So that's like Estarra setting herself to 5,000,000 hours a week and setting a ten to 3,000,000 hours played a week.

I don't really follow, but ok, we'll go with that.

Okay! So that means everyone else is now back to 1 vote apiece. No more vote weighting.

I guess you don't like vote weighting.

...what!?

If 3,000,000 hours played a week is a 10, then 168 hours played in a week is a 1. Everyone except Estarra, even if they're online every single hour of the week, only has a vote weight of 1.

Thus, vote weighting is completely nullified! All by your own decree! You killed vote weighting.

I would just like to point out that if Shiri didn't want a new Lack of Rants thread, he should not have started Lack of Rants 3. That is all

You're just making this up now.

Whatever, we're weighting it.

@Arix: Rubbish, that's just 'cause the 2nd one got to wayyy too many pages.

EDIT: P.S for whoever brought up locked threads earlier, how about we lock Lack of Rants every time it gets to the point these locked threads are getting to now?
