kcirrot Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) 2 hours ago, Ice Dragon said: "Voting" refers to the act of expressing your choice and has nothing to do with how those votes are scored. Wiki has an article with a good smattering of voting systems used in real-life elections, referendums, etc. The majority of those systems define victory as having the most votes, either directly or indirectly. Voting gauntlet is a terrible name for this....not really sure what to call this now. Maybe "Voting, unless you're beating the other team too badly, then you may lose because reasons gauntlet." Doesn't roll off the tongue, but more accurate. Edited October 6, 2017 by kcirrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about "Voting, defined as points which may or may not have anything to do with the effort you and your team put in, gauntlet." I have to admit, that does sound better and more accurate.

It's not like the original voting gauntlets had anything to do with effort either. You're just sounding bitter and salty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But saltiness, for better or worse, has also always been a part of the Voting Gauntlet experience as well to the point that the below may as well be the motto for the Voting Gauntlet as a whole even before the multiplier came into the picture: "Hmph. Pass the salt." You'll get meaningless brownie points with me if you got the reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Tiki crosses the sea between Archanea and Valentia, sneezes and unknowingly wipes out the native population? That explains what happened to Alm's One Kingdom. As for Corrin, I'm sure we could dress up their dragon form like a turkey.

But at least you can use one of those rare Super Horns, some item you would have no chance of getting in 1st, or a well timed speed boost to dodge the hit. Actually, that might not be a bad idea. WARNING: INCOMING MULTIPLIER FOR X IN Y HOURS Z MINUTES AND AA SECONDS! IF BB ACHIEVES CC POINTS BY DD TIME, MULTIPLIER WILL BE CANCELED. It'd encourage the leading team to press themselves really hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rezzy Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 So, if it's a Dragon Gauntlet, why was the hint "those that draw the blood of dragons"? It makes it sound like a dragon slayer Gauntlet and not the dragons themselves, unless they are going to release Emo-phase Tiki who Falchioned her own wrists.

ChibiToastExplosion Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I have to go with Young Tiki, because she's my favorite. Poor Fae tho. I'm especially glad I S ranked Marth, he should do a fantastic job of punishing those on the opposing team trying to get bonus points.

If both are in effect, you have two units of the same kind, and Murphy's Law states that the opponent shall have an advantage against your team's mascot. And may the gods have mercy on your soul if all three of your units are the mascot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point still stands then - having a good Marth primed is going to be beneficial to my runs, as I'm sure I'll see plenty of 'ketes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilda Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I major Flaw with Voting Gauntlets is: 30 min battle breaks inbetween matches. I would rather have them let you accumulate 5 battles per day you can do instantly all in a row whenever you want or split them up, People have a Work/Life schedule. Also lost matches should deduct points... IMHO with the current Voting Gauntlet System present i'd rather have them remove this feature totally and focus more on GHB.
