TNG Hurt/Heal Game - Grand Final

[Star Treks]

Actually, I just thought of something:

I would like to propose an alternate form of the Hurt/Heal game for a test run in the future (give it a while, people are probably starting to get tired of these things)...

The Heal/Hurt Game

Every episode starts off with 10 points (just a matter of convenience to avoid having to use negative numbers).

Each turn, someone HEALS two points or HURTS one. The first episode to a set amount (say, 25 points) gets first place.

So you actually find out first first (which is kind of anti-climactic) but it is based much more on what we like than what we dislike. There will be more incentive for voting for truly favorite episodes instead of just helping along pretty good episodes that we don't want to see eliminated early, since there won't really be an "elimination" per se.

And because healing is faster than hurting, a few people dedicated against a great episode may only succeed in knocking it down a spot or two, not eliminating it very early.

If you think about it, this is probably a better way of ranking "favorite" episodes anyway - the bulk of each user's voting power goes towards helping an episode they love rather than hurting an episode they don't like.

Whaddya guys think?

 

[Rhaenys]

I think the results would be more realistic...
But I'm not sure that results would be a lot different. Maybe a little bit.
I compared results from this game with results of polls from a few months ago, and they were the same for most of the seasons. (They are the same except for the forth and fifth season, I think) I think polls are the best option when ranking episodes based on people's opinions.

But, come on, join the game again.
We have to pick the best 8 TNG episodes, so that it could compete against other series in a big finale in General discussion boards.

Star Treks changed the ranking of 6 different episodes in his post which I'm pretty sure is against the rules so I haven't included his changes in my post.

I have no idea how that happened. It wasn't intentional. I think I accidentally copied an old episode list instead of the most recently posted one.

But if you didn't include any changes then I will try again.
