IMO bring it back on an individual basis, but let it stay forever banned from use by entire factions as THAT is what led to the most lopsided and uninteresting smific in history, not the actual practice. In fairness I blame Gravy for that. He kept wanting more allies. ... wait. Steiner/light was nowhere near the most lopsided final though. Maybe not the most lopsided final, but the most undisputed path to the final ever, with it being certain who was going all the way from like... what, Day 66 (top 3rd)? Whenever it was, it became pretty apparent who would be making it to the finals and everyone else was fighting for 2nd place. mnkboy907 posted... GenesisSaga posted...

How would that work? Like each character can only be future-traded by one user or something? Easy. You can only promise your own future vote/nomination for x votes in the final or whatever, not Ermine's or greengravy's, or vcharon's or who haves you. On the flip side if you're the one trying to secure the votes for this contest you only have the power to offer your own primary/secondary/tertiary support or your own nominations (1 double nom/5 regular). You have no power beyond that. swordz9 posted... I think its better off staying banned. You dont even need a faction to impact a final with it. All it takes is some people without a horse in the final and they can offer all their saves. If even 5 people did that its several dozen bought saved This also solves this issue. As it can only be done on a 1-1 basis, no one individual has the power to secure 50 votes. Now if several different people are willing to offer whatever in the future for current contest votes, then yes that's a bunch of bought votes, but realistically the next contest won't be prematurely determined because the people that cashed in are going to do so for different characters in the following contest. (e.g. barrel wants Genny's primary Sephiroth support for x Tidus votes in the final, not barrel gets Genny's, charon's, MZero's, and whipper's primary support for Contest XXI or Chris gives gravy's, Ermine's, leo3leo's, and his own nominations and secondary support for red's and Inviso's Steiner votes in the final) Ya feel me? --- "You're stronger than you believe.
