  1. Next time you are in a game, start a vote/survey about something. Watch how many votes you require initially, and watch how it increases with each no vote. In a game with 20 people, 6 yes', 5 no' and 9 abstain, the vote will fail. Initially when you start the vote it will require 10 yes' to pass, but with each no that figure increases. With 5 no', you would need 15 yes'. To be honest, just having abstain and no counting as 1 vote against, and not increasing the required yes' would be a more than fair way to do it. Even with this system, the vote is weighted towards no because the abstains effectively count as no. In the event you have more than 50% yes', then the vote should absolutely pass as you definitely have more than 50% who want it, but could have less than 50% who don't.
  2. You're right that there is a large number of players that say no, but there is an even large number of players that say yes. Should the majority not get their say? Those who abstain from voting presumably are not bothered by the outcome. But why? If more people want an outcome than another group, then is it not fair that they get what they want? Is that not the foundation of a voting system?
  3. Hello all, I've a question about the voting system in game which I just cant get my head around. In fact, it's so annoying that I felt the need to register on the forum for no reason other than to find out why. Why oh why oh why does a no vote count as 2 votes against? Suppose you have a game of 20 people. If you start a vote, you need 10 yes' for it to pass. However if someone votes no, then you need an extra yes on top of what you need already to pass the vote. This leads to a situation where if 6 people vote no, even if the 14 others vote yes the vote still fails. Can anyone please explain to me why this is the case?
