Hero Contest #6 - Results

[Luorax]

Vote for everyone is actually like having no vote at all - increasing all votes by 1 is the same as decreasing them with 1 - no diffrence.

Is it really so?

Votes for everyone: 10
Votes for user A: 5 (Total: 15)
Votes for user B: 15 (Total: 25)
Total votes: 30

A's score taking the "useless" votes into account: 15/30= 1/2 (= 3/6)
B's score taking the "useless" votes into account: 25/30= 5/6

Difference is: 2/6

A's score not taking the "useless" votes into account: 5/20= 1/4
B's score not taking the "useless" votes into account: 15/20= 3/4

Difference is: 2/4 (3/6 > 2/6)

As you can see, not taking the useless votes into account would have made the useful ones had more "power", more effect one the final scores. Of course, because the winner won thanks to the poll and not the judging, it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the poll, and that's not the reason why I'm writing this, but to make you get your facts right before writing them down

I agree completely, but don't understand what the quoted message means. Vote for everyone is actually like having no vote at all - increasing all votes by 1 is the same as decreasing them with 1 - no diffrence.

I don't think that is accurate.

Here, a total of 20 votes are given, no-one has voted more than one contestant.

---	Contestant 1	Contestant 2	Constestant 3	Contestant 4	Total
Votes	2	7	10	1	20
Percentage	10%	35%	50%	5%	100%
Points	3	10,5	15	1,5	----

Now one guy comes and gives +1 to everyone.

---	Contestant 1	Contestant 2	Constestant 3	Contestant 4	Total
Votes	3	8	11	2	21
Percentage	14%	38%	52%	10%	100%
Points	4,3	11,4	15,7	2,86	----

The lower amount of votes you have, the more you benefit from someone voting everyone.

Yes I forgot that the formula takes into account all votes. My bad .I apologize. I was talking from the point of view that giving a vote to everyone doesn't change the ladder outcome in the end, altho the percentage slightly differs indeed.
