Maybe if "outsider" votes weren't deemed half as worthy, some new blood could have had a chance. That's the worst decision put into this contest. There is no reason to weigh user votes over outsiders.

You know, we've got all the numbers, we can calculate exactly which matches would've had a different winner without the "double vote" bonus.

And I am not going to go over those numbers because I don't consider them invalid, but when outsiders only have essentially half a vote can you ever really know how many people didn't bother because they were treated as less-than?

I'm not saying under the current system that the results are wrong. I'm saying under the current system they're right. But the system is wrong.

Every vote should be counted equal, and there could be a lot of people who saw their votes weren't equal so they didn't reach out to others and didn't themselves continue to vote because it's a rigged system. Who would want to participate in a system where some people have twice the power in popular vote as they do?
