The 2007 User Popularity Elimination Game

[Final-Fan]

Speaking of awards, these are my currently planned awards. Consider this post an invitation for additional suggestions.

(However, the data I've collected do not allow for (for instance) finding out who got eliminated the fastest, so if you want that sort of thing you'll have to sift through the thread for it yourself. If you have the guts, I will gladly add the Fastest Elimination award.

(The data I've collected are strictly the cumulative total points each voter gave to each contestant. "Reverse votes" -- that is, positive and negative votes given to the same contestant over time -- cancel out to 0 and were not recorded separately. I also noted when a vote that was integrated into the score was actually not a valid vote, giving some latitude for the first couple pages while the rules were getting ironed out.)

(And to think that I could have spent all this time playing Halo 3, or playing Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, or staring at a ceiling fan.)

AWARDS:

ASSASSIN
This award is given to the person who has the greatest proportion of "elimination" votes compared to total votes.

LATE TO THE PARTY
This award is given to the last person to become a contestant or to the last "live" contestant to become a voter.

MOST CONTENTIOUS
This award is given to the person who garnered the most positive and negative votes over the course of the thread.  (Due to the limitation of the collected data, each individual voter's positive and negative votes canceled out to one cumulative score.)

MOST DEDICATED
This award is given to the person who has the most concentrated vote spread -- the most votes spread amongst the smallest number of benefactors/victims.

MOST DIVERSE
This award goes to the person who voted for or against the greatest number of people. (This would be the opposite of the Most Dedicated award.)

MOST EVENHANDED
This award goes to the person who gives out votes without any great favoritism; this would be the antithesis of the Most Positive and Most Negative awards.

MOST NEGATIVE
This award is given to the person with the greatest total of negative points accumulated against one contestant.

MOST POSITIVE
This award is given to the person with the greatest total of positive points accumulated towards one contestant.

MOST SELF-HATING
This award is given to the person with the greatest total of negative points accumulated against himself or herself.

MOST SELF-PROMOTING
This award is given to the person with the greatest total of positive points accumulated towards himself or herself.

POSITIVE-SCORE ELIMINATION
This award is given to anyone who has an "elimination" vote against a contestant whom they have a positive cumulative total of votes for. There is currently only one winner.

SUICIDE
This award is given to anyone who has an "elimination" vote against himself or herself. There is currently only one "winner".
