Vote Thread for Ack's Omake Corner

Wait, has there been a change to how voting works? Seeing a lot of posts with only 3 votes instead of the usual 6. Haven't found the post explaining that.

Also, is there any point to having a vote to remove stories? If people don't like a story, they won't vote for it and people have (had?) plenty of voting options with the 6 choices and weighted point system.

Security! Just finished, so the three option vote was to see if it would get a replacement on the voting list or not. Not adding anything or removing certain stories were among the options.
 
Vote 101: Confrontation II
  • Threadmarks
    • Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 1873

    Announcements
    If anyone doesn't know, Security! has been completed, and taken off the voting list. All vote points accumulated toward it were shared among other stories equally.

    Throne3d 's vote counting system appears to be offline, and qqbot's vote counting isn't helping. Until further notice, I will be counting votes manually. Yay.

    Counted the secondary votes also. We came very close to having Are You Afraid of the Dark become part of the voting list, but "Don't add any more stories" won the day.

    User Errors:
    In the secondary vote, anwan7 and Fishyface both voted twice. The first votes were deleted.
    I don't know if anyone is voting twice on the main vote. If anyone could check for me, that would be great.

    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 1378
    All Alone 441

    [If you want to know which of these stories is NSFW, check the first post of the thread..]

    It'll almost certainly be Confrontation II then maybe One More Trigger then Junior Hero. But then it's anyone's guess.

    So far so good.

    Check out Jim Starluck 's spreadsheet for a reasonable prediction.

    Anyway, thanks again for voting, and I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoy writing them.


    For anyone who hasn't voted on this thread before, the voting rules go as follows:

    1) UP TO six votes. I will not count anything extra, and a write-in will likely be ignored (if I want to write a different story, I will, but at my own discretion). Suggestions are welcome, but I am under no obligation to carry them out. And just remember, the more stories I am writing, the longer it will take for your favourites to roll back around.
    2) First vote is worth six points, second is worth five, and so on.
    3) You can't vote twice on the same story. The voting code will count the last vote and ignore previous ones.
    4) If I say "Voting is CLOSED", then this post comes up, with "Voting is OPEN" at the bottom, then you can vote again.
    5) If I say "Voting will continue", it's still the same voting period. Voting has not restarted. You can not vote a second time.
    6) If you vote for a story that is not on the voting list, those point(s) will go to the story that got the least number of vote points that round.

    Vote format looks like this:

    [X] Alea Iacta Est - 6
    [X] I, Panacea - 5
    [X] War Games - 4
    [X] Recoil - 3
    [X] Trump Card - 2
    [X] NSW - 1

    Specifically: SQUARE brackets around an X, one space, and please spell at least the first word of the name of the story properly. Number of voting points comes last. Please try to format your vote properly, so as not to confuse the vote counter.

    Normally I'd cycle my #6 down, but since I really like Confrontation II and it's pretty unlikely to come up for a while (the last wis being 26 votes ago), I'm leaving it at #6 and cycling the rest from now on.

    6 & 5 MirrorVerse & All Alone w/Angush & SnakeEater. 4 Alea Iacta Est - MirrorVerse w/JKR.

    Willing to change my - 3, - 2, & - 1 votes in exchange for an equivalent vote for MirrorVerse. Just tag me, or quote this post.
