I am now working on the TW Awards winners, and have this question for all, On the close votes I may post a run off for them, but need to know if the closeness should be within 1 vote or 2?

The ties are a given.

Yes I am finally finished moving in the new place!!!!!!!!!!

I would say 10% margin, which makes it dependant on the number of voters. If after the run-off the margin is still within 10%, then call it a tie.

Other ideas?

I'd say within 1 vote. And if the run-off is tied, so be it.

I wouldn't bother with a run off - post the top 2-3 for the category. Post ties as such and keep on going......

I like Prome's too. #1 and #2, and sometimes #3, are all pretty impressive. I mean the list was distilled down as it is and getting people to vote a 2nd time will end up favoring people w/ the biggest ICQ list, not neccessarily the best skill. If you do have a run-off, just go w/ the ties. Keep it simple.

'Sides, I wanna free up the voting for my Warries.

Suggest list first only.

Otherwise might as well just publish all the results as of date of poll closure, which can be viewed anyway at:

http://vulcansforge-online.net:99/TWFor ... um.php?f=1

If it's a tie, so be it, list those who tied and leave it at that. It wasn't a "Primary".

Okay going to keep it simple, and do runoffs on ties only, and if it is a real close one on a category, then will post the runner up, and will hopefully satisfy all.

I wish we had poll options in here, hehe.

I just realized that Ultimate TW has almost as many people playing tonight as you had voting in your little contest. I don't think it's right to keep voting and voting and voting and voting until you get the results that you want. Only 85 people out of thousands of TW Players voted to begin with. At best, this is not a good representation of players or servers. IT'S OVER!

Just post the total results like you have in the database for all the nominees and put this whole mess to sleep.

what do you mean Sage you have baerly half that... If you look most of those people are on 2-4 different nodes playing in different games.. No one cares what you have to say.. If its a tie you should have a run off other wise who wins??? Its not to try and get the result someone wants its to get a defenite winner instead of a tie... Darn I hate people sometimes...
