Might need a number on that last one. The vote counting software kind of demands it.

Is that a constant though? After Slippery Slope's last win it shot up in votes/week.

I think that's because people weren't so interested before, but are now, given that the stakes are increasing.

Not necessarily a constant, but I can approximate an average by rolling back the predictor and seeing how far off it tended to be in its predictions where recently-winning stories fell short of their expected votes. They tend to be the least-accurate ones in any given prediction, and just from memory it runs somewhere around 80-85% of their prior prediction. I can then take that average and factor it into predictions, such that when a story has just won a vote the predictor assumes it will only get 80-85% of its normal votes.

At least, that's how I'm planning to handle it. Not sure if I'll have it work for just the first round after a win or not; I'll need to examine the trends more closely.
 
[X] Recoil (6)

Only voting for recoil intentionally. I like others, but Recoil is my favorite.

You could try tracking the number of likes each chapter gets, if that's possible. Probably would be too hard to get to actually show you any valuable information.
