Note there will be a change in how the polling works (again). The results of each match will be hidden until the match ends. While this may take away from the experience of watching tight matches run to a close, it also prevents the results from having an influence on which one you vote and this makes it easier to deal with fraud voting.
…
Next it’ll be “the choices name and link will be hidden as well. You’ll need to use your luck to choose the blog you prefer”. ;D
“Sudden death final match-up, begin!”
No, they will post a mail address where you must submit a hand written card with the name of your choice written in Enigma code.
Can you see the percentage/bars at least, or is it completely hidden?
Completely hidden
Called it.
Good choice with the polls!
I never knew we were supposed to take this as seriously as US President Elections. >>
Let’s try Roulette Wheel next round.
That would be interesting!
Somehow I feel relieved. Watching the votes swinging back and forth in real-time proved to be a bit un-nerving for me lately.
Well that will stop me obsessively refreshing the polls like a eejit.
Boy, this is serious stuff.
Let’s all drop a comment when we vote showing the poll numbers.
Blah, missed that part.
Woooooo! FINAL ROUNDS!? This is exciting stuff <3
GL to everyone left <3
I don’t understand why this is a problem. I think it’s a valid action.
I’m sorry…is this supposed to be a spectator sport? Are we all supposed to sit huddled around a computer screen two bars trying to edge each other out and cheer with beers in our hands? I’m sorry if you are no longer able to go into desperation mode begging everyone you know to vote for you when you realize that you’re behind. If you need to know so much, maybe at the end of each 24 hour period, the current leader should be stated for each poll. But they’re right that this makes things more fair.
This is quite interesting.
