Really, it is just no fun for anyone outside of mods. If people really get their votes swayed by what the votes are, then they shouldn't be voting anyway. It's no fun to be in a matchup blind of what the current score is, especially when your opponent is a mod. That actually has some unfairness in itself. Why should one person in a matchup know the score while the other doesn't? So you should be able to see the votes after you vote. ( I am against seeing it before you vote). Personally, I like being able to know which way the votes are going. I don't like waiting until the last moment to see whether I win or lose, but maybe that's just me. Tell me if you guys agree, disagree, or if you have any good ideas to change the voting system. Also vote in the poll. Thanks guys.  |

I say change it back, being able to see if you are down or up in voting allows you to decide whether u need to keep posting to try and sway the rest of the voters or if you can sit back and get ready for the next team u have to verse.
Also having mods able to see the votes while the rest can't is simply not fair, and like Viking said if people let the votes that are already their somehow effect their decision they shouldn't be voting or even playing this game in the first place.

I'm all for hidden voting if everyone is blind, but if some can see and some can't then i'm against it. i vote to change it back or somehow change it so everyone is blind

I think we should.
Fairer voting cause GMs wont be able to tell others which team has more votes, resulting in less 'sympathy votes' and influential votes where guys just vote for the team other GMs feel should win.
More discussions and arguements as well from what i see.

I second BN, everyone or no one should be blind. If we are doing this blind stuff, it should extend to voting for playoffs as well.

I think you should be able to see the votes after you vote, but not until then. Other peoples votes or who is winning shouldn't have anything to do with your pick so seeing them before shouldn't make a difference so we don't need to see them.
After you vote it would be nice to know who is winning or if you have a chance to win and so forth. If other GMs want to tell others the vote count before they vote then thats up to them but it's for fun so why would they? that's my 2 cents

More discussions and arguements as well from what i see. Well, other GMs are going to affect people no matter what. When GMs say what they think of a matchup that can change someone's opinion with or without hidden voting. TBH sympathy votes don't really matter if the score is far apart which it would be if someone is doing a sympathy vote imo. |

ALSO gone are the days where people used to explain why they are voting a certain way.
Cavs vs Bulls matchup had 19 voters that werent me or jb BUT boipoison was the only one to explain how and why he voted the way he did.
I remember times when nearly every GM posted and explained their point of view on a matchup and this added to the discussion etc.

^ lol that never really did happen... maybe 4-6 GMs in one matchup discussed but very rarely will you get even more than 10 GMs discussing a matchup in the thread.

More discussions and arguements as well from what i see. That's true. You would see some post during the discussion that a GM might say that he's waiting to hear some arguments before he makes up his mind. WHY? GMs should vote on what they think and not be swayed by another GMs point of view. I'd rather give opinions after we vote on another thread but a GM should make up his own mind and vote. That's why I don't really Discuss my vote until after to explain why I did it if it's a tough choice. Well that's just my opinion. Well, other GMs are going to affect people no matter what. When GMs say what they think of a matchup that can change someone's opinion with or without hidden voting. TBH sympathy votes don't really matter if the score is far apart which it would be if someone is doing a sympathy vote imo. |
