Board 8 > Sir Chris Gives a Speech and Plots: UotY Victory Speech.

(+) Yeah! (+)

you should take the mean score round from this year and just replace the first round with it next year

just thinking about giving a .1 to a bunch of bottom of the barrel users while reserving the high point values for the actual good users, striving for that perfect 5.0 balance, is getting me hot. it was a good idea this year but poor in execution because in the effort of balancing your mean score you had to score certain users incorrectly. I mean, once you get to like the top 5 there aren't that many users deserving of a less than average score left.

anyway, improvements that could also be made to the mean score round:
- make the target mean score 5.9 in honor of our savior LordEmbok
- display every users average worth once the round is done so we know how high priority any given user on board 8 is

Only problem I see in doing that is people are pretty lazy.

as far as I'm concerned only the truly elite should be allowed to vote anyway to preserve the integrity of the contest

But then what fun would a contest be if I was the only voter?

well, you could be a bit more lenient in order to bait casuals. maybe anyone who has placed top 5 or better in user of the year would be allowed to vote.

one thing I later contemplated for the mean score round was allowing a range for the average from 4.1 to 5.9

but the straight up 25 was easier to make work as a spreadsheet so
