Haha don't be crazy. It's not that level. But they're all really good shows and will be difficult to pick between them. One of my favourites is in it.

So you have to arbitrarily rank shows you haven't seen or your vote counts for less than other people's?

Not expecting a perfect system by any means, but that's mental. :lol:

It doesn't do that. If my top show gets 3 points and shows 4&5 get nothing, it is +3 on both.

If I list all 5 shows, my top gets 5 points with 4th on 2 and 5th on 1 so my top show would be +3 & +4.

It basically works out quite even. Not perfect but the best we can come up with.

It's too combat tactical voting where someone might just come in and vote 1 show. I'm sure some people are still voting tactically but at least it limits it somewhat. No way to completely eradicate it though.

Ah, I thought the system was that all shows you don't vote for get 2 points. Fair enough!

This is exactly how the American Electoral College system started.

Not going to bother changing my list but started to watch The Wire again and just saw that notorious "feckin" crime scene-scene. Hilarious.

It's even within your own vote but not even overall.

For instance 5 people vote South Park no.1 and only list 3 shows then South Park gets 15 total points. 5 people vote Star Trek no 1 and list 5 shows and Star Trek gets 25 points. 10 point difference despite each show getting 5 first place votes.

Feels like that means you have to vote for all five shows even if you haven't seen them to get your first show full points which could make a difference. Maybe I'm missing something though

5 people vote this:

1. Breaking Bad (15)
2. GOT (10)
3. The Wire (5)
N/A. Twin Peaks (0)
N/A. Family Guy (0)

Breaking Bad has +15 on the bottom show.

5 people vote this:

1. Breaking Bad (25)
2. GOT (20)
3. The Wire (15)
4. Twin Peaks (10)
5. Family Guy (5)

Breaking Bad has +20 on the bottom show.

And this is assuming people vote exactly like that, which is not the case.

Whilst there is a difference, it's not THAT high compared to any other method.

In an ideal world, people will just be honest and vote what they've seen but any public voting system can be manipulated, there's no way around that.

System would have been fine were it not for a few sci fi nerds single voting.
