I've been allowed to start up Superlative voting again. Happyman stopped this for several reasons. One of which was that it was too much work. I believe this was him having to check in here every so often to see if 3 votes had gone onto 1 person. This is going to be more like SSOTW. I'm going to post the question, and check in on Friday, and who has the most votes wins. If it's a tie, the question is carried onto the next week. Now, each question is started on Sunday, which makes it easy for me to start today. Here are a list of the current questions:
1:Most Popular Member:
2:Bester Chatter in Chat:
3:Craziest Member:
4:Funniest Member:
5:Strangest Member:
6:Member with the worst split personality:
7:Member with the Best Avatar Choices:
8:Member with the Best Signiture Choices:
9:Most Annoying Member:
10:SS That Does the Most:
11:Most likely Member with a Life:
12:Member that Knows the Most about Computers:
13:Member Least Likely to be Here in 2004:
14:Best ZQuest Editor:
15:Faster ZQuest Game Maker:
16:Member that Knows the Most About ZQuest:
17:Best Tile Editor:
18:Best SSotW Competitor:
Now, rules:
1: Do not vote for yourself
2: No Flaming
3: Don't vote twice for the same question
Now, If I could get this pinned, that would be great. If you have any question suggestions, whether you feel one shouldn't be there, or you have an idea for a question, please PM me. I would prefer that over me having to search this place for any question suggestions.
So, let's start Superlative Voting with Question Number 1: Most Popular Person
So, make a post on who you think is the most popluar person on PureZC.

[Jaivaz]

WildBill, he is the owner after all...

[ShadowTiger]

OOH! YES! Finally. I can go into some of these! ^_^ Are the superlatives chosen by the members to be included, or are they voiced by one person (Or maybe a group) based on the casual observation of the members?

And I believe Beldaran from AGN once did something like this, but it was hosted on a poll place. I forget the site, but it was a very good place to perform a superlative voting session. *sigh* If only he wasn't banned.

[LinktheMaster]

Everyone on PureZC who wants to vote votes for the person who they think should win the award for the question currently being asked. At the end of the week, I calculate who has the most votes, and they win the award. Which, I need to find an award or something.
(LTM starts to search the internet)

[ShadowTiger]

I mean, how do you tell who's in the poll? Do you sign up to be in the poll or something beforehand, or do you just tell people who can be selected as a nominee?

[LinktheMaster]

Anyone on this site can be a nominee.
Let me rephrase that.
You can vote for anyone. There are no choices except by the people on PureZC.
And, because this is done on PureZC, unless WB gives me my own forum for this, Superlative Voting will stay in this topic.
Although, I might be able to put together a small site for Superlative Voting, but this would be a lot easier.

[ShadowTiger]

Aha.. So once more, *sigh* (Sorry.) What happens BEFORE anyone gets to vote? How are the nominees selected? We can't vote for anyone if we don't have any nominees? Or do people vote for who gets to be voted for?

[LinktheMaster]

There are no nominees. You just vote for who ever on PureZC deserves that rank.

[Matt]

Wow, this isn't going very well, is it? I say you find a PHP developer to write you a simple little script to run this thing. It would be so much easier.

[Aerogard LM]

Wild Bill

This would go too slow if it's only one at a time, I agree with Matt's Idea, make it a php type poll thing that lasts for 2 weeks, and people can't se the results so their vote can't be swayed, you know, a form with text boxes.

[ShadowTiger]

Probably.

OK, so I see. People just shout out names at random to someone, and he/she posts them up, then people vote on them?

[LinktheMaster]

Oh forget it. This is going no where. I'll find some other way of doing it.

[ShadowTiger]

Sorry. (BTW, congrats on your 500th post. Sorry it was wasted on me. I share the feeling.)

Actually, that could be a good way. You can just make a thread, with the topics in bold, and people will recommend people (Even themselves, sure.) and then later, a poll is founded.

[LinktheMaster]

Okay, here's how it's now going to be done. I have found a site that will give me a poll, and it will cycle through them once it hits a certain amount of time. So, now, what I need you all to do:
I'm going to make a post after this with all of the questions. Quote that, and make your nomination for that question after what I said, but in the quote. Put your nomination in bold.
Don't nominate your self though. It should look somewhat like the following:

Most Popular Member:
Wild Bill

Except it spands the whole question list.
Got that? Once it is Sunday, I will find all nominations, and put them into the polls.
I'm going to double post, but for a reason.
