RPG Superstar Round 1 Voting Update

I love that you guys are dropping the bottom 25%. That will make it quite a bit better and (hopefully) let us see more of the quality items. Good job!

A custom title is an excellent incentive to get involved in the RPG Superstar process, even if you're not competing.

--Vrock the Vote!

Although this will restart the fervor for Have You Seen Your Item :)

Huzzah! Well done to all of the voters (and submitters) out there. :)

I see there's a "Dedicated Voter" tag, but it's not mentioned in the blog post. What is that, 50 votes?

Great news! So is everything we see starting today in the top 75% or will that start tomorrow?

What's the "Dedicated Voter" tier?

if you hover your mouse over it for a moment a pop up will tell you... in this case 'dedicated' means 500+ votes

What's the "Dedicated Voter" tier?

It's the one labeled as "Expert" on the blog. You can also mouse over the titles in the user's name to see what they mean.

Darn it... now this is incentive to be a Champion Voter!

/starts clicking more... every minute.

We renamed "expert voter" to "dedicated voter". The blog has been fixed.

Thanks for thinning out the items some.

Great news! Thank you.

Woohoo! Thrilled at the news of the Great Culling!

Is voting going to be affected when the culling commences (IE are you going to have to suspend voting temporarily while you cut off the bottom 25%)?

They've already been removed.

So how many champion voters do we think we'll have by the end?

Oh, also I'm thrilled the bottom 25 percent are being culled. Looking forward to seeing more, better items. (And using this tag to figure out how many votes I've cast -- I can start counting at 1,000 once I see my tag change.)

I'm aiming for the Zombie Voter tag.
Must...keep...voting.

Although this will restart the fervor for Have You Seen Your Item :)

Yup. I know that is why I am starting another period of voting right now. Of course, if you even have a chance of being in the top 32 you shouldn't even be worrying about being in the bottom 25%...

Thanks for this; I'm re-energized now to keep voting.

Completely agree, but I'm still worried :) It's my first time entering, and even though I think my item is a good one...

Fantastic news - Paizo never stops being awesome!

So cool! Data AND a thinning of the herd. Thank you!

Thanks for posting these stats! With 1,440 one-minute intervals in every day, 203,909 votes cast means that we've done the work of what one totally insane person could do given 141.6 days and an endless decanter of coffee.

Now I'm curious about whether we'll hit one entire year of voting before the round ends!

After some voting I am definately seeing a difference. New items are more frequent and quality is a bit better.

endless decanter of coffee

I think I found my entry for next year.

How many marathon voters atm?

Interesting!

Next stop.... Champion Voter! I'm pretty sure I'm not the person with 3690 votes.

This is very welcome news!

Very cool, thank you!

Just about to start another stint, so to all the items I am about to see...

Congratulations in making the top 75% !!

Last time I checked there were about a dozen people with the "Marathon Voter" title. I expect that number might go be going up.

I admit it. I'm just posting to see my new voter tag.

I'd say that's a pretty safe bet :)

Very cool idea Paizo! Kudos to the hardcore voters out there!

Dotting to see my tag :D

Then back to voting to see if I'm still in the game ;P

I admit it. I'm just posting to see my new voter tag.

Yeah me too. :)

EDIT: doh! best get cracking... although currently that puts me in the company of only 504 others. :)

Also thanks for these numbers. I am no mathemagician (I took trigonometry three times and eventually got up to a C grade), but I am always curious about this kind of data. As a marketing tool alone, it is must be giving y'all tons of usable info. :)

Most votes?
How many people voting?
Minimum for accurate sampling?
Most votes in an hour? (I do know enough math to say that this is 61).

I also hope you will consider running a workshop on this at PaizoCon. Not only on how you chose the method, the possible number of outcomes, but what trends you saw develop because of it.
(except I cannae make PaizoCon this year. :)

I am pretty positive I've voted well over 100 times, but I don't see a tag. (I just voted over 20 times and didn't see a new item but only had one repeat in those 20.) Am I missing something, too new to the boards, etc.?

Your alias may hide the tag.

I believe that is the case.... I think the tag only shows up on your primary.

OK, I'll try posting without the alias, and sure enough I'm dedicated.

Thanks!

There is drop down menu under the text box (left of the preview/cancel/submit buttons :)

Wow, pretty cool!

Oh my, time to get cracking again! :) I'm totally seeing a difference in the items I'm voting on now. Way more new items...it's really heartening.

I'm also hoping this means a better chance to see my (still MIA on my end) item. You know. Unless it got culled... but fingers crossed that's not the case! ;)

Thanks for the stats, guys! And the new tags are nifty, too.

Thanks for culling the heard. It definitely makes me want to vote more.

Great response to feedback. Thank you, Gary and team. And wow, have I really voted that many times? It barely felt like 400.

nice time for me to vote some more. Thanks for the removal of 25%.

I'm so nervous that I was eliminated. Anyway, I hope to get to star voter.
