I've been looking over the rules, especially the points system, in greater detail. I'm sorry to be a pain-in-the-a** here, but I just don't get the votes points. I quote the rule below:
”In addition, participants receive "bonus points" depending on the number of votes cast. For this, the number of votes received by the participant is divided by 10, the result being the number of "bonus points" the participant receives, ranging from 0 (9 votes or less) to a maximum of 5 (50 votes or more).”
I say "I don't get them" because, according to another thread, some teams have more votes because they have been posted for a longer period of time. This quote below was posted in answer to a question about why some matches have more votes:
”that's easy, I've started some of the polls 1-2 days ago in the Admin board”
So, of course, I’m wondering if it’s fair to award points for more votes if some matches have been posted for longer, and therefore have had more time to earn votes. Or am I misunderstanding something?
(By the way, looking at the table at the start of the thread, it seems Uncle Mike has earned 9 vote points, which I assume is an error given the rule quoted above.)
sorry, guys, but the bonus theme was "Aztecs, Mayas, Inkas or Amazon savages" :)

I hope I'm not annoying the Prof. so much that he regrets my participation in particular, and the contest in general.
At least you both didn't loose points and get Zoolga'd at the same time! :cry:
I believe 'being Zoogla'd' is going against Zoogla in the LPL and getting worked over, and roundly at that!
Only mistake I see so far is that Keith isn't in the league.

after my drubbing at the hands of Lt Hazel couldnt stand that :wink:
Was it something I said? There seems to be no record of moi on the table? Obviously need to etend my Ki.

I think I am missing 10 points - I have entered new entries every time?
d'oh! Of course not, but i did a new team, so it's still at least 10 points missing.

there aren't any "new team" points for the first round, only later for replacements
I can't argue with any ranking where I'm coming in just behind Alex! lolGood grief, and I'm next in line! Prof, you're cheating. Negatively cheating, but still cheating ;) :)
Pete & I should start a club - the LPL-loosers ;)
Nah, you should get to play against me. I only think I got a draw because of my pigs' innate charm (round 3), rather than my painting...Pete & I should start a club - the LPL-loosers ;)
We should get t-shirts made. lol
NVA sounds great
Poliorketes, Braxandur, and I are going to form the Never-Victorious Army. lolWhy thank you 8)
Vanvlak can be an honorary colonel or something, as he's got one tie.
Well, Braxandur and I are paired for this round, so the NVA will get smaller by one after this round! (Braxandur will win) lolBy two - Poliorketes is on the way out too!
Bah, you're only 1 vote behind and I haven't voted so far :DUh-oh, the arm twisting is working after all! Right, let's make a deal, since you have a vote, I'll PM you with an offer to convince you to vote for yourself. Let's start with the 6mm goblin... ;) ;D
I'm gaining - three behind, and still didn't have to vote myself! (Something I never do, voting in my own duels)Oh heck! 2 x 6mm scale goblins? Although hang on, if the scores are close enough I believe it's a draw, so I might still be safe!
Nice scrolling action :)Long Live the Never-Victorious Army!
I have a feeling who last place is going to be for this season...
;)
Hey, I'm famous at last :D :D :D
Also, all sorts of fascinating statistics to hash out from the table. Vanvlak, for instance, should be termed Enemy of the People for leading on Votes Against, and by the same token Captain Blood should be named Hero of the People for winning Votes For. Zoogla has the most bonus points, and if you deducted my bonus points from my point totals, I'd be in next-to-last place. lol
It's a bit like wondering why you're losing a marathon when you start an hour and a half after the guy from Kenya.
Vegetarian? I thought your birthday was in october? That would make you... Libran?Groan... the only thing worse than that is that it's in July, and lions are - go on, Moriarty, have your fun ;D
A sad day vor the NVA, one less member :'(Hey Poli, cheer up, if our draws do not disqualify us, our friend and colleague Moriarty is an as yet unnoticed member of the club too :) Quick, send him a club tie. ;D
Vanvlak, now it's only you & me left. I guess I stay a member at least one more turn.

Vanvlak, you need to add "Public Enemy #1" or "Enemy of the People" somewhere to your profile. :)Splendid idea - but I'll not jump the gun, and apply it after the final round. And that's not because I have any hope of doing better!

Curse you, Vanvlak!Well, I DO have to live up to my reputation of enemy of the people. :D

I'm very jealous of anyone who's played the same number of rounds as I have and has a higher score. :) So allow me to point out that I think Bugsda has nine plays, rather than eight. Alas, the Prof genuinely has only eight plays, and is beating me. :(
