Hairstyle voting begins!

[ElHeggunte]

Just keep in mind that "Likes" are not "votes". We have no idea how many votes any of the entries actually have.

What? Yes they are and yes we do.

• How to vote

Log into the official forums and press the “Like!” button for the design entries that you like the most. The entries for the male and female hairstyles with the most “Likes!” will be chosen as the winners.

1 Like = 1 Vote

We knew even before voting officially started that this is how it was going to work because they told us. The only reason the the numbers might not add up is from the use of sock accounts, but the likelihood of enough people doing that for it to matter is slim at best and SE probably has ways of detecting and weeding out fraudulent votes anyway.

Never mind, SE went an updated the rules an hour after I posted.

What he means is that the only Like that counts is the last Like you used in that thread. Let's say you liked every picture in the thread; the only like that counts is picture 25. So while one hairstyle may appear to have 5000 votes, it might actually be a lot less.

* “Likes!” will only be counted for the last entry you vote on.

And that only applies to the Scarf of Wonders Wit reward. It means voting multiple times won't help you win any more than voting on just one thing.

They added new info, it's not only about the scarf.

* “Likes!” will only be counted for the last entry you vote on.
* Please only vote for one entry in each category by pressing the “Like!” button.
* Due to the way the forum works, the number of "Likes!" will increase each time they are selected; however, only the final "Like!" from each user will be counted, and there may be instances where the numbers shown on the forum are different than the actual results.

Anything else think any hairstyles on page 1 and 2 are shit out of luck now? =l

Pretty sure that's referencing the scarf. As in, people with multiple characters (like myself) can't "Like" a whole bunch of times to try and get more chances at the scarf. It just counts our last like.

Now, why they decided to limit the scarf to so few people, I have no idea.

It's actually not about the scarf at all. The instructions have been pretty clear since the start. Again, anyone who votes (by pressing "Like" on one of the finalist entries) is automatically entered into the drawing for the "Scarf of Wondrous Wit", and 140 scarf winners will be randomly selected. There simply is no more to that particular part of the contest (for the scarf) than that (other than that they won't be announcing scarf winners, it will either show up in your game-mail one day or it won't).

For example, using "Like" more than once does not give you a better chance of being one of the "randomly selected 140 winners" for the scarf. And only your last "like" counts when it comes to determining a winning hairstyle anyway.

^ This guy gets it.

Well, the highest voted one on page 3 still has about 3,000 less votes than the highest one (still #21 :c) and the second highest one, so I doubt it's going to put either out of the running even with people not knowing only their last like counts.

Either way, they really should have the notice of only the last like counting bold and red on the first post of both voting threads imo.

21 was originally on page 3 though, when the majority of the current votes very put in. Regardless, considering that page 2 has 2 of the highest voted ones, 8 & 1 seem out of luck.

Considering their forum software doesn't even have a basic poll function, it makes me wonder how they'll figure out who voted on what last? They can probably see who voted on what, but how would they know if I cast a vote on (random numbers) 19 before 2? The cynic in me says they're using that a cop out in case the more complex and difficult ones win, but I hope I'm wrong.

...and I hope they add a poll system onto their forums if they ever do this again.

Awesome, so they amended it an hour after I backed them up. Way to go, SE!

Would have been nice if they had made it more clear earlier. They probably should have posted the voting rules on the voting page as well, as I'm pretty sure most wouldn't read it on the main page.
