Greatest Server Ever! (Poll) FINALS: TOP 4

[Kalphiter²]

ie:

1) A voter picks 5 choices, ordered from 1st to 5th. Servers he doesn't like at all don't get ranked.
2) The server with the least amount of 1st rank votes is eliminated.
3) If a player voted for the eliminated server, the server is removed from his ranked list. The idea here is that we are able to simulate a situation in which that server was never an option by iterating through a player's ranked voting preferences. This will prevent candidates from winning even if it got the least amount of votes.
4) Recount poll and cycle back to step 2 if there is still more than one candidate left.

This doesn't exactly solve the poll manipulation like Ravencroft did but it'll certainly make the poll fairer. Unfortunately it all has to be done manually.

no, that doesn't solve the manipulation worth a damn at all period

limiting it to only not-running ones works though

I, Whirlwind, apologize for ruining this poll.

There really weren't a whole lot of votes on the poll and I didn't think people thought this was for real (considering that the poll title said "What is the best server in the history of Blockland?" which implies since version 1, but all the servers were really recent...), and I noticed that our server was still in the poll, but it was losing badly so i thought it would be funny if i told a bunch of people on the server to come here and vote for us.

But then a proposition was made: "I will vote for your server, if you give me a duck cannon." The request was harmless enough, so i complied. Soon more people wanted duck cannons and so votes were exchanged for duck cannons...

Unfortunately, I did not foresee this topic escalating so rapidly... Everyone started this giant ass argument over a completely exaggerated and meaningless title.
 

So what happens when you win?
You get e-jizz squirted over you from a bunch of guys? I don't see the point in trying to win if there's no real prize.

I'm sorry if feeling were hurt...

And I was winning fair and square.

Boo hoo.

I'm sorry that I had to drag my good friend Ravencroft into this...

I need to do damage control on that greatest server topic...

And I'm sorry for the contentious people of the internet who love to argue over absolutely anything they come across.

Blah blah blah... Ravencroft... Blah blah... unfair

Blah blah... duck cannon... blah blah

Blah... Fuk u im doge... blah... trolol

So if it comes down to it, just remove our damn name from that list. It's not even worth the trouble.

No more free ducks. Our supply is running low on ammo.

How did Pecons jump to first?

did it?

Well this got screwed up. Why did you continue to the next round? You should have taken out Ravencroft's and restarted that round due to all the votes wasted on his.

Now the only servers really worth voting for are Jorgur's and Badspot's, and I don't even think Badspot's should be up there to begin with.

I only voted for Jorgur's.

I dislike ravencrofts falling tiles.
Pecon's is better imo
