Forceful_Dragon 01/14/20 5:37:19 PM #333 | 2/87 chance to get bottom 5'd on your 2ofs. 2.3% 5040 / 11703240 or 14 / 32509 chance to get bottom 10'd on your 4ofs. 0.04% Edit: So the hearthstone version is 53.38 more likely to occur. I think it helps to understands the math involved before getting upset about bad beats in a game that is going to have more variation by design. --- |

Forceful_Dragon 12/31/19 6:59:54 PM #18 | That is why my system accounts for that by making each vote a decimal that is relative to the number of games in the vote. I don't see any other way that won't inherently favor either a larger/smaller dev team or creators with more or less games. --- |

Forceful_Dragon 12/31/19 2:08:29 AM #364 | I think there is confusion between "person I most admire" and "person admired by the most number of people". The former might be someone like my father who I admire greatly. But my father is not going to be admired by very many people. Not that many people know my father. So if they are listing the people who are most admired and not the people who are most admirable then you are going to end up with results leaning towards people who (A) are known by everyone and (B) have a lot of fans, whether they deserve them or not. There is no sense getting lost in the weeds quibbling about this. --- |

Forceful_Dragon 12/30/19 6:45:46 PM #13 | @Moonroof Here's what I have in mind. (Keep in mind I'm an Excel Noob so the formulas being used are pretty janky looking, but imo they would work) Here is the sheet that is blank and ready for input: And then you fill in the first two columns and the "Total Votes" and "Total Points" and "Average Points" will automatically calculate. Here are two examples of me filling in some scores. On example with nothing but 1st place finishes, and another example with middle of the road finishes: You would just start with a blank sheet, fill in the first two columns and see what the Average Points worked out to. And Idk how many votes you are anticipating but currently it is set up to take up to 100 votes. This could be changed if necessary. And I'm sure there is a way to set it up with better formulas so it could take an undetermined amount of votes, but I don't know how to do that. Edit: This still allows the POTENTIAL for large teams to vote in strategic ways, but the most they would be able to do is drive down the average points of a rival, or drive the average points across the board closer to 0.500 and thus reduce the amount of good votes they need to excel by comparison. But I think it's a lot less prone to abuse then allow everyone to give themselves a first place finish and it weights the value of each vote based upon the number of things they had to vote on. --- |

Forceful_Dragon 12/30/19 6:00:51 PM #12 | I can think of something that wouldn't be too hard if you could work it into a spreadsheet. 1) Everyone ranks every game that they did not participate on. (example: someone worked on 2 games and there were 15 total games, so they rank the other 13 games from 1 to 13). 2) Each vote gets counted as a decimal. (So to take the previous example the game ranked the best would be worth 13/13 or 1.000 pts, and the game ranked fourth would be worth 10/13 or .769 points) 3) Average all the votes for each game to determine it's weighted value. So if a game got nothing but 1st place finishes it would the maximum possible score of 1.000, but more likely the scores will all end up being decimals. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but I could probably throw something together in Excel. --- |

Forceful_Dragon 12/30/19 4:12:55 PM #9 | Moonroof posted... Complete objectivity was thrown out when people biasedly voted for theirs as number one in past tournaments. Also, no teams can vote as an individual. I do not know where you got that from.He's saying one vote per team would have been better. Otherwise larger teams have an inherent advantage of having more voting power. Even with the "rate yourself last" restricting you are still giving larger teams more power because tray can strategically give low scores to their perceived rivals and have a unduly large influence on the scoring. --- |

I felt pretty good about Yang's December performance (despite once again being shorted on time) and I think in terms of actual opinions he easily has the 5 percent support at this point that he would need. It's quite frustrating -_- --- |

Forceful_Dragon 12/30/19 12:05:16 AM #71 | Ah, that's dumb then. Taking the rules independently it sounds like the situation of the ball being beyond the LOS and the QBs leg behind the LOS would result in the play simultaneously not being a "permissible pass" per the first rule and not being an "illegal pass" per the second. --- |
Topic | NFL Week 17 Discussion Topic |
Forceful_Dragon 12/29/19 11:43:03 PM #67 | ARTICLE 2. LEGAL FORWARD PASS The offensive team may make one forward pass from behind the line during each down. If the ball, whether in player possession or loose, crosses the line of scrimmage, a forward pass is not permissible, regardless of whether the ball returns behind the line of scrimmage before the pass is thrown. (https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-video-rulebook/forward-pass/) That's what I was basing my thoughts on. I could certainly be wrong. In any case I had written the game off after the Seahawks got that first down at the end. I just assumed they would run it in from the half yard line and then the delay of game happened. --- |

I'm pretty sure they should have taken back the Seahawks first touchdown in the 3rd anyways. Wilson looked like he was past the line of scrimmage when the ball left his hands --- |
