I would still like the voters to remain anonymous (known only to the host and previous host for confirmation) and only the vote totals made public at the end. It is only important who won and not who voted for whom.
Seeing who voted for you (or who DIDN'T) does little more than promote bad feelings, in my opinion.

Imagine you go to the races, and they're off and everyone turns away from the track, the commentary stops and a Barry Manilow song plays until the commentator announces the winner cause that's all that matters. Yep, that sounds exciting.

An attitude like what shit for brains?
I am calling it exactly as it is and you are one of the clique so you're as biased as they come. You can't cope with a contrary view you can't beat so you resort to name calling. This whole thing is a sham, EJLS and her trusty pals are going to make the rules up as they see fit and that's how its going to be.

Even if that were true, none of the rules seem draconian enough for it to matter anyway. I think the voting mechanism has always worked fine as it was (well, except for sock votes, but there's not much to be done about that), so this strikes me as a case of something unbroken not needing a fix, but by the same token most of the proposed fixes seem like they'd work fine too. I guess it's not that helpful to just say "Oh, anything will do," but that's honestly how I feel.

It was ejls who wanted to make sure all voices were heard before permanent changed were made. I'm sure, Prurient Purveyer, that yours will be one of the voices taken into consideration. From what I have gathered, most people will be very happy with the coming CAW challenges.

Whats Happening? I can vote but not tell the forum who, or why, I voted for them? Only two people will know who voted and will tell us the number of votes? I am not allowed to vote because of my name. As was proved in the last challenge. If anybody else votes and you do not like their name will you just not count it. Will you inform the thread that you have received a vote but didnt count it because you didnt like the name.

You have it in one; there is no transparency its all done in secret, by two buddies. ![]() Horse can't understand why I bother when I'm wrong. But I'm not; after all the input on voting and show or don't show we get ELPs post and its obvious he and the others are stuck on what they have proposed. So back to the "draft" and the driver is the expectation that stories and or writers will be disqualified, that generates the need for polling to be by PM and we have no idea who or what sock vote was accepted for not. Maybe it will be run according to Hoyle but if we can't see, we can't know. If it goes ahead as planned then absolutely all the fun in it will be sucked right out of it and the result will be one huge anti climax. ELP uses the Oscars as a for instance. Fair enough, he has a point but what about elections. Follow the Presidential one or the mid-terms? Watch the polling updates? He doesn't, just reads it in tomorrow's paper.

I have been following from the beginning, we have gone off at tangents at times and changes of a minor nature have been "noted" but the essential format proposed remains unchanged. I have raised my objections to it; ie lack of transparency in vote counting and no fun in seeing how your story, either as the writer or a supporter, is getting on. We have made no progress whatsoever because the positions are diametrically opposed. If I could see any merit in what you're proposing, other than for administrative convenience I would agree with it but I can't so I won't. Rudolf, isn't he the one they needed to lead the way?

He was redeemed in the end but unfortunately shot down, over New Zealand, several years later.

Why not just have a simple poll and go with whatever the majority vote ? Would only need 2 options Public voting, on the forum, for all to see. Private voting, only by PM, where nobody can see.

Of course, I'm thinking that there will always be cheaters whether it's by PM or by polling, with socks and such, so the simplest way to eliminate such problems is to just say "screw the popularity contest" and have a board of members (none of whom have entered) act as judges to determine the winner themselves. Of course, this negates the fun of readers participating, making the contest fairly useless. So, best bet is to figure out what form of voting makes as many people happy as possible while minimizing cheating. The problem here is one cannot assume there is such an option.

even if there had to be 2 different polls with votes open for all to see then it would be easy to spot if anyone voted twice. Then just discount both of their votes.

Another problem with a standard poll for voting is that once it is set, it is set. You can't make changes. So when you have votes that need to be removed because of sock voting, or stories because someone gets banned, it screws the whole CAW up. That's why we came up with a way to get the votes recorded pretty easily without having to deal with double polls, broken polls, etc.
I suggest we try the new method and see how it all works out. If it turns out to be a big flop, we can always go back. |

Exactly. Why don't we try out these rules for the next CAW, but don't write anything in stone so we can figure out how well it works? If there is not enough support for it (as in, people simply aren't voting anymore) then we can change to something else.

after reading the latest posts by ej and horse i can see what the problem is with poll voting now.
but then PM voting is open to abuse by whoever counts the votes and i'm sure there will be plenty saying it is all fixed by the counter(s).

I propose we sate the most vocal among us. Otherwise, this bickering will continue well into May. If the majority are for the new option, that of voting by PM, we will see how it works out on a trial run.
I am for the new option.

But the poll did not work because of the issues last time. We're tying to come up with a way so as not to majorly disrupt another CAW, should anyone try anything not quite kosher.

![]() Would it be a good idea with PM voting to get members to CC their PM's to several counters, including at least one who is in no way connected to the stories board and who has no real connection to any of the writers ? Two people could easily fix the voting if they wished to (not saying they will). members might get a PM acknowledgement but no way of knowing if their votes has been actually counted. also it's been said that the counters can discount a vote if they choose to (for various reasons). i know it's difficult to come to a perfect solution but just thought i'd raise some points where some members might find fault.

![]() i think if that's the case then you're covering all bases. having all previous winners seeing all votes is a great way. ![]() although ej says it is two counters. now just need to find a way to stop all sock votes. though that is going to be impossible really.

better still make it voters must have been here 3 months or more and have over 100 posts.
would prevent a large majority of socks.

One idea that was bandied about was to create an account whose sole purpose would be to receive CAW votes. It would have an easily identifiable name, and its address would be included in the CAW threads. ALL previous CAW winners would be sent PMs by whomever initially sets up the account, giving those people (ejls, MrFors, smcaaphd, JayneyRedd, Elaken-Palmer, ahorsewithnoname, and myself, so far) the password to the account.
All of us can check the math (and the integrity) of each other, but probably only the current CAW host (ejls) and one other person would actively tally votes and acknowledge them. Using the site-provided poll structure was fine. It was easy, it had a few options, but it had two fatal flaws: the 25-story limit, and the fact that it was set for eternity as soon as it was posted. During CAW #10, two writers got themselves banned, so their entries had to be removed. That blew the poll structure, so counting was done offsite by spreadsheet. There WERE errors in the running tallies in CAW #10. The fact that TWO people were counting independently of each other made it possible to fix that. What other option is there? If we go back to the old poll structure, that's fine. Assuming no one fucks it up for the rest of us. We are less than two weeks away from ejls' stated starting date for CAW #11. Let's get this settled now. We've had input from a lot of different people. If this doesn't work, we can all work together to come up with something else for CAW #12. For God's sake, people, it's a fucking challenge -- an unpaid amateur writing competition. ejls said it in her original post for the original CAW -- she double dog dared people to write something. That was basically it. ELP mentioned the Oscars, when discussing suspense and the thrill of winning, and he's right -- it's kinda cool. But it's really not quite that cool. Sheesh.

One time zone here so we get polling counts and Political Scientists postulating outcomes from about an hour in. The front runner syndrome, yeah possibly but there has been one landslide (yours) most have been fairly close as I recall. I still think if the idea of just vote for the one you like best were to be encouraged this reluctance to vote would be diminished. Sometimes its just a convenient excuse anyway.
