I still need to add some scifi gubbins like grenades, holstered pistols/slung rifles, and maybe some goggles, monocles, or other scifi elements. Mantic them up, y'know.

For league position, the rank is decided as follows to minimise ties:
1st - Number of points

2nd - Highest ever finished challenge rank

3rd - Number of challenges completed

Finally - If there are multiple users still after the above has been considered, then they are classed as tied at that rank

Ok, so there are a bunch of us that got 1% of the vote with 3 or 4 votes, (myself included) and are ranked into different groups...way down at the bottom. Could somebody explain how this is done? Or are these just sort of arbitrary for those of us that didn't place and don't have last month's under the belt?

Thanks for getting in touch, the difference with last month and this month was that this was the first month to have the option for multiple votes being cast. Last month you could only vote for one person, therefore most people all were at the same rank (11th), but there was more spread this month.

To talk you through the way it was worked out:
Anyone who entered this month for the first time (or had only entered last month) scored one point unless you were in top 3, so after you were grouped in together...

... Votes were considered

And you were ranked this month according to number of votes (not percentage). Using this rank you were organised in to an order in the spreadsheet...

...the next step is not relevant to the people with one point, because you would have only entered one challenge. But I then went through the list a third time to ensure that if there were ties on league points with people also tied on highest rank, I would allocate a higher league rank based on number of challenges completed. I can't imagine this step having much use until we get into month 6 or above.

As you can see from the screenshot above, there was every effort made to allocate April's rank based upon votes received. I hope this makes sense.

If anyone has comments about the league order please respond, Para and I agreed these steps to ensure fairness of achievement recognition. If you don't feel this is occurring then we can discuss possible other options. At the end of the day though it's meant to be a fun contest, the League is more to highlight who among the members is consistently good and consistently persistent in trying to better their painting skills.

This is what I see for votes whenever I look at the april thread. Did people vote after the time closed or something?

TP^DC Deputy Manager wrote:Ah, I see. Para mentioned this in the voting thread - somehow after the voting period closed more votes were cast and it's not clear how that was possible. I had gathered the data after the voting closed, but before these votes were cast. The process of ranking had already taken place which was all done by hand because amalgamating the two months data is not easy due to the highest rank element - I would have no idea how to include a formula to the spreadsheet to account for that.

I also manually encode the forum post so that the colours appear which is quite pain-staking, I had stated that I would not be able to include those extra votes due to this.

I will post in the current thread these posts to ask for consensus opinion, but this will take another 2-3 evenings to correct and technically the voting had finished when I gathered the data. If the leaning is for me to correct I will have to go back and do it. I'm not sure when I will have time though.
