Top Trumps - Thread Terminated

This is why I'm seriously close to dropping Forum Stature as a category, despite it being voted in. It is just too pervasive, affecting all the previous stats, to be included as a stand alone category.

GRasscade may be a good port of call for people unsure on certain forumites, but it isn't conclusive and shouldn't be the only basis of a score if used.

Every category is essentially forum stature anyway... I am bitter. Like an olive. SUCK MY SIMILE!

But seriously, GRcade Top Trumps is brilliant in theory but not in practice.

This.

FFS.

Maybe I should make the final category grumpiness?

Make it bitterness please.

I'd win that hands down.

Yes! Or Simile Skills. You'll never find a subtler simile than bitter like an olive. It oozes class!

Lots of low scores including: puppetBoy - 45

Apologies if anyone has a lower than expected score, as I haven't seen everyone post enough to judge their grammar

Being serious for a minute, why did you actually vote then? All you've done is knocked down the average for everyone who isn't a major player on the forum, which isn't really fair. If you weren't sure what to award certain people, but still desperately wanted to participate, you could have quickly flicked through the forumites post history whenever you weren't sure.

Don't you mean gayness?




Bit obvious?

I've missed out on this, as I've been proper busy and didn't realise the voting was going on, but there seems to be a major flaw in the voting. Surely if someone gives an average 50 for each category it just destroys the system? It's rather irritating reading that people are scoring people even though they admit they "they haven't seen them around". Surely an "N/A" would be better than destroying the score given by people who actually know the poster?

Take for instance Jaxley's decision:

No one is going to score highly here, usually arguments are just the stupid " " then "WTF is your problem" thing.

And then he went on to score nobody higher than 60, while everyone else is voting on a proper scale of 1-100. I've seen a few people with suspiciously identical scores which makes me think people are copying other peoples scores when they don't know the person in question, too.

The humour score seems a bit off too, as people seem to have voted with the criteria "Do you have the same sense of humour as ME?" rather than simply "Do you have a sense of humour?".

I'm nagging, so I'll stop now.

Debating Skills

Just check any topic posted by Cal, Im proud to be the Ying to his "anti government" Yang.

I have chosen not to vote in certain categories because I feel I do not participate in certain activities enough to judge people properly on them. It is fairer that way, I reckon.

I agree, trouble is it may lead to very few votes and artificially altered averages, after all there will a minority who vote anyway and give low scores without knowing. Now if no one else votes that person ends up with a low value despite it not reflecting the forumite.
