It's the final time for nominations, right? Until 11:59 tonight, correct?
Nah Saturday Night
I'm not gonna be to strict. I'll probably consider it done by SUnday or something since we have a severe lack of nominees XFD
We have currently
Wolf
King Dedede
Megaman.
I dunno. I'll talk to Shane about it. Maybe the more restrictive poll will provide better results.
I think we'll probably determine it like this.
Top Priority
Characters who gets nominated across every forum. We'll see how many results we end up with, however I'm thinking that these characters will automatically acheive a spot on the screen.
Medium Priority.
If they're nominated on 2 of the 3 forums they automatically gain a spot in the polling to determine who will be on the screen.
Low Priority:
Nominee's whom have only been nominated from one forum. They will not appear in the poll. However their place will be held and they will be reused in polling in the future.
So lemme give you guys an example
Please note this is not real XD
Smashboard Nominees - Wolf, Dedede, and Megaman
GameFAQs Nominees - Geno, Dedede, Little Mac, Dark Samus, Ike, and Reggie
DJU Nominees - Dedede, Little Mac, Ike, Megaman.
If these were the results, I'm thinking it could work like this
Top Priority
Dedede would be top priority since he was nominated on all 3 forums. He would instantly achieve a spot on the screen.
Medium Priority
Megaman, Little Mac, and Ike all reached Medium Priority in this example. This means that the three will be thrown into a poll, and you will vote on who you want to see the most. The character who wins the poll will be added to the screen, and the other two will remain at medium priority until next polling.
Low Priority
Wolf, Geno, Dark Samus, and Reggie all would fall into the Low Priority category in this scenario, and would not appear on any poll, but they will be acknowledged, and held onto for hopes of a worthy nominee status in the future.
Makese sense right?
Now, in the scenario where there are ONLY Low Priority characters, we would probably hold a special timed section for you to have extra nominations. For example if the low priority characters listed above were the ONLY nominee's across the 3 forums, then Wolf, Geno, Dark Samus, and Reggie would be the only characters allowed for you to choose from, and you would nominate from that selection.
From that point on, it would fall back into the High, Medium and Low Priority system. I'd rather it work this way than to vote on Low Priorities. I don't want voting to end up being unfair to certain characters just because a majorly popular character ended up in the polls. How fair would it be to allow voting when we know that a majority of the fans already desire the character?
These rules aren't official, but it's most likely a structure of what we will be doing. So you'll know what to expect.
For all those intrested, these are the characters with more than 1 nominations.
