We are looking at a huge voting spike with this plan implemented...these figures (although only projections) really speak for themselves...even if they are far too optimistic we are still looking at all battles being closed within (at the latest) 3 days. I spent A LOT of time making these as accurate as possible based on our current model though so they should be pretty close to actual results.

There will probably be a small drop in the number of people that vote just for voting's sake...(the current number)...but it wont be enough of a dip to make this plan a bad plan...Id say every new battle closed in 3 days is a very reasonable expectation.

im loving this idea....im frustrated with the voting right now....2 of my battles have been up for weeks..and one of them doesnt even have 1 vote......we need to try this plan out for atleast a few weeks or so just to see what happens

how to completely eliminate duplicate/bullshit votes...

breakthrough: forget about the text boxes...leave the battle credits system...you get one credit per vote and you need 2 credits to open a battle...BUT your credits reset at the end of each week...same effect but smarter and easier...

^^^^I gotta say....this schema guy is pretty smart

has strobe seen this idea yet?

So make the credits required to start a battle be 2 and have them reset each week? That'd be easier to code. Anyone else for this?

I got too many credits i got like 130+ and that would be even doper because people who are too lazy to vote get no credits and are like...oh you set it up i got no credits...so would it be possible to open a battle...BOTH competitors had 2 credits it would effectively cost 4 credits but it would encourage lazy members to vote if they want to battle...

yeah this is a good point i didnt think about this...youd have to make it free to set up the battle and 2 credits to accept the battle...that way its fair both ways...

Nice idea...ya know what we should do though...stop talkin about this and actually DO THIS

ill ideas in this thread.........I do think we should up the post count to vote though

Schema . . That's fucking brilliant who ever said that, Free to make the battle (If strobe can do this) & Both of you need 2 credits to check in your battle.
And after you vote you get 1 credit or 2 . .
& It's RESTED everyweek . . To make sure votes come in . . I'm sure you will see great progress straight away.
^
= The Answer.
& Strobe says it's easy code this . . But i'm not sure about the free to make a battle and BOTH of you need 2 credits.

well...................I dont get the second thingy

Basically both need to have at least 2 credits to check into their battle instead of just one person paying to open the battle...therefore that's at least 4 votes made before 1 battle opens

^^werd...you down strobe?

So to summarize... make it so people need 2 credits to check in and credits reset every week. If that's it, I'll add that to the list of things to do.

yup add that...
