Bush, Reggie [275] - Wake, Cameron [200] + This whole thing would be a little more accurate if you were only allowed to vote once or twice a day when it got down to a certain number of players. Some people are logging like 10 votes a day.
Well I think that's the first time anyone has suggested a rule that would make the game even longer. You do realize that would make the game take well over an entire year, right?
Bush, Reggie [277] + Wake, Cameron [198] - Personally, I think we should be voting every hour to help speed it up... week one is already here, its normally done by now isnt it? But this epic battle has prolonged the game.
"Accurate"? By whose definition? Yours I assume. The game is fine. It's always been this way. Greater effort by players of the game result in greater impact on the game. Like in any good game. If you'd prefer a one-off poll feel free to start one in a new thread.
By the way, the voting often thing really has nothing to do with Wake or Bush anyways. Ophinerate is probably the guy who impresses me the most ere with his dedication, bailing water as fast as he can while Monst and I tag team him. That sounded gross. Lol. I'm just sayin both aides have some dudes who have really bought in. Ricky, Dupree et al on Wakes side, JDelenne, Brandon, flounder and many others on the Bush side. The reason it's called survivor is because the very nature of the game is one of attrition, endurance and outlasting. Love it.

not entirely true. with the commanding lead that Wake once had if the rules were changed then (which wouldnt be fair if the rules were changed in the middle of a game) the game wouldnt take long to be over with because the bush gang would have thought about how long it would take for bush to win the game and the faithful gang probably wouldnt be so faithful. i know that would be true if it was the other way around. i wouldnt keep voting for wake if he was behind by that much and u can only vote once a day. i would realize it would be very improbable and if i was so determined for wake to win instead of doing meaningless votes i would devote time into making poost to persuade the people to change sides. if i made progress by doing that, i would continue voting and persuading. if the rules were like that from the beginning i think the outcome would be the same once a player had a commanding lead. i think the game would be more intelectual and would inspire more thoughtful posts about the players
I think as the names dwindle down it would not be bad to make votes count for more then 1 point if speeding up the process is the desired effect. Personaly I think its fine just the way it is but I could see going to a format like this as an example: 53-27 names = 1 point per vote 27-13 names = 2 points per vote 13 - 7 names = 3 points per vote 7 - 4 names = 4 points per vote 4 - 2 names = 5 points per vote
??????? Ricky, I might just be tired cuz I just woke up from my "after work Hard Knocks Nap" but I have no idea what you're talking about!! Rick might not have inhaled, but I think you might have before that post. I think you might be saying it would be unfair to change the rules in the middle of the game? I agree.
Stop flooding my boat with your dribble! Come to think of it, weren't you the one that stated many, many, many, many pages ago that your goal was to see how long you could drag this thing out? Seems to me you should be paying your respects to the Kraken (© dj 2011-2013) now.
Yeah whatever, there's a better solution than letting a select few who can afford to vote every 2 hour on the hour determine the out come of this game. Here's another solutation. 5 votes max per 24 hour period. I'm sure there are a hundred more to prevent your cheating. Your 10 waking votes kinda sways it a little dontcha think?... You know compared to the average persons 1-4 a day. When your practically voting 3 peoples worth it's not exactly the forums vote as a whole anymore. SMH.
Sure, but maybe next year you should come up with a better method to ensure it's the forum's vote, and not just the members who can be at a computer 24/7.
Cheating? That's funny. I don't hear you complaining about the Wake supporters who log more votes than I do a day. This game is all about supporting the guys you like and voting every 2 hours or whenever you can. That's the whole point. We've been doing it this way for 5 years now. Those who like it play, those who don't, don't. It's that simple. If you don't like it quit playing and invent your own game.
