Thanks for the comments, everyone! I really appreciate the positive feedback.

Haha, indeed it is. I got a tie with Horikawa Otane over "most helpful," which I thought was very interesting. (although, to be honest, I'd rather she get the title because this is only a small thing, she did the entirety of MaGLX2 plus generally helping people out, and MaGL's already more work than I can imagine)

We probably needed fewer ties in general, though. This year has at least ten ties, including every "Best MaGLX2/MaFAB something" category, and there's been a tie between as many as four people. However, people have already spoken what they wish about ties, and I can't do anything about that.

Will I ever get dead last in a talkhaus thing?

Also, I guess I should change my flair to

So, you all know by now I made polls to break ties.

Would you like me to make gold/silver/bronze (and perhaps platinum for the four-way one) userbars, or just make one userbar out of the highest one? Or would you like something else?

It certainly was. I'd say one if we're objectively deciding Bests/Mosts via votes.

I say all the tied categories that are nominated to be in tiebreakers should get userbars.

Edit: I mean really, we already decided about a day ago to just leave ties alone. That means they should get something.

There were more than 10 ties, and that's a biiit too much. As well as that, we have 78 accepted categories; the amount of ties we had would make 100 userbars. I thought that was a bit too much, so I discussed with a person about it in pm and we thought it was okay to do a short poll thingy

It is dumb, but the results were sorta dumb too.

If you're not up to making all the userbars just say so, you don't have to tiebreak everything :​P

(Seriously though if we have that many mosts and that many winners then so be it, I say. There's still literally no reason to tiebreak anything but the best MaGL X2/MaFAB aside from "I don't like ties" or "I've decided there are too many userbars to be made," nothing has actually changed since the last time peeps were all "yo why can't we have ties.")

1. This is the first year we've had more than two ties

2. how is more than 10 ties not dumb and unecessary

3. Image

4.
I like this idea better because I couldn't decide before when it was between all of the levels, but one of the levels I was trying to decide between ended up being one of the tied options
this can apply to all tied categories

The 2013 Mosts had plenty of tied votes per the original rules, and it still worked out to be quite enjoyable. Bwarch made about 50 userbars and I made another 60+, which includes separate userbars for all tied winners.

If making that many userbars is too much work, you should just have people help you.

Yes but it doesn't have to, we've had ties plenty of times in previous years with nobody taking any issue with them. The only reason this is even a discussion is because you personally don't like them and you happen to be the one running the mosts.
Like, has literally anybody other than you taken issue with us having these ties? I'll admit I may not have been paying attention but from what I've seen you are literally the only one here who has a problem with it.

e: If you wanna look like you're not just deciding how things are run based solely on your own whims, community be damned, at least run a poll on the matter.

ee: Also I just found that quote. Probably worth noting that that was Quark preferring a particular method of tiebreaking in one of the few mosts that actually can't be tied, that kiiiinda means literally nothing in the context of a discussion on if we need to break them at all.

It's not that it's too much work, (it's less than counting up the votes, and that I could take more of) I was just misinterpreting what the results in past years were. I thought only page one of 2013 had results, guess not then.

Okay. I'll make a poll here about it since it's that much of a concern to you.

Like, normally I wouldn't care about ties, but I feel like since everyone already voted in the polls, it would be more annoying to just scrap all of that now. Also I do not want the best MaGL X2/ MAFAB to be decided by submission date without a secondary tiebreaker poll.

I do kind of hope the Sweetest poll stays tied though

also the polls give me a chance to rectify my mistake of not voting You Can't Handle the Youth in the MaGL X2 name thread

if the polls are kept, I'd like to vote for the medals idea btw (hopefully that doesn't tie this too)

Just for the record, voting "no" on the automated poll in this thread won't necessarily make the mosts one bar. They can still be medals.

Actually, wait...

E: there. I've made all options now.

Alright... I've decided to let ties be now, and make mosts bars separate and equal. Now, another question: what about the polls?

An idea could be to have the poll winner be like... gold fonted or shinier or something than the others. I dunno.

I don't feel like having an extra round of votes should make a category more important than others. The userbars should probably look about the same, maybe defferenciated by the category they represent-

Not sure though. Would probably be fine either way.
