Vote on the post that should win

Postby WarDaft » Wed Jan 11, 2012 3:45 pm UTC

Like "Post X wins" except we continuously vote on what X should be. The median is the winning post (rounded down if necessary.)

I'll start things off with a 137!

No actually, because threads start with post 0. That would make this the winning post.

So let's start again.

I say post "by UniqueScreenname" wins.

Are we allowed to vote multiple times? In that case I vote 1 again.

I'd say every time we pass the voted post it's reasonable to vote again.
