I would also suggest that *two* mods (rather than one) keep independent spreadsheets of the votes. That way, they can make sure their numbers match before the order of the games is established.
I volunteer to be one of the two.
I don't mind being the other. It's simple Excel data entry.
I volunteer as well.

If it were me running the poll, I would not find it difficult or too much work at all.

The concept makes sense to me, and seems ideal.

Also, another way to prevent cliquiness is to take votes via PM or host it on a third party site where votes wpuld be hidden.

Me too. Plus I ain't a part of any Clique so that would not work for me at all. :blush:
Let's form the anti-clique clique coalition!

You're the reason Woodrow Wilson was president. :)
No, I wasn't alive yet. I had nothing to do with the Russian Revolution, either. Or that nasty crucifixion business :)

And we will discuss how the poll will run as we get closer, MM. There is a submission deadline, yes.

Linki, if you have a way to tabulate it in thread, Made, that does not requirte modifications to the board, let us know.

Linki @ MM, no we will have less than 20 games. And I don't recall ties being an issue in the past.
I was definitely highballing the number of players offering feedback, but I'm sure there will be more games and more players voting than the last one I took part in.

My biggest concern is how we are going to accomplish using this alternative voting system. Are there plugins or something we'd add to the poll or would it be stating votes in thread/PMs?

And Re: SVS, how large do you expect the vote pool to be? i could see above 40 votes, especially if it's up for a few weeks.
20+ mafia games with votes coming from 50 or so people. (These are very rough guesses since I don't know the actual answer).

That's ~200 votes spread across ~20 games, so ties will definitely happen in an unweighted system.

Is it possible to hide votes and responses? Or is it more enjoyable to discuss as you go along?

Also, will we have a submission deadline?

Since your wife has lost weight, her vote is now worth less than it was 3 months ago.
