Secret Ballot

[TeaLeaf]

As agreed last night a secret ballot has been set up.  This is a free vote, so please use your own best judgement in casting your votes for who should receive the splinters.  Please submit your votes to Oldbloke via a PM on these forums no later than 6pm UK time on Wednesday this week.

Your ballot should look like this:

1st Choice:
2nd Choice:
3rd Choice:

Good luck everyone!

Hi Oldie

We'd like to ask you a favour.  We want to hold a secret ballot and we would like you to be our vote counter!   We would like to be able to send you our votes for you to total them and then announce the results to us - we do not need to know who voted for whom.  We would like the result announced to us via a PM on these forums on Wednesday evening with votes closing by 6pm UK time on that day.  

We want you to hold the votes as you are independent of the Field Marshalls and it will enable us to hold a truly secret ballot.  None of the Field Marshalls should come to know who voted for whom (including me).  I hope you feel able to accept this position.

The vote relates to this thread where we asked our members how we ought to select the person who should receive the 40 'splinters' necessary to craft a 'Legendary' staff for their character.  Legendary items are as good an item as you will ever get in WoW and to call them merely 'exceptionally rare' would a gross understatement.  As these items are so good the members chose to ask the Field Marshalls to decide who should get the item.

We have decided that in order to protect the item for the Guild it will go to a Field Marshall.  Those able to use the item are: Vargen, Kreuz, Pentesilea, Lunares and Teaelle (me).

The vote will ask all Field Marshalls to send you a PM with their votes, for 3 people, in the order of preference for them to receive the item, so all votes received should look like this:

1st Choice:
2nd Choice:
3rd Choice:

Each 1st choice nomination received receives 3 points.
Each 2nd choice nomination received receives 2 points.
Each 3rd choice nomination received receives 1 point.

The winner would be the one with the highest number of points, but we will need to know the total points for the top 3 people so if one person is not in the raid when a splinter drops then we know who is 2nd and 3rd priority.

In the event of a tie please differentiate between those tied by looking at the number of 1st Choice nominations, if not then 2nd choice nominations, then 3rd choice.  If we still have a tie at that point then please provide us with a tied result with scores for the top 3 (or more if including ties).

Voters may not cast a vote for themselves, so if someone votes for themself as one of the choices then please ignore that single nomination and bump the remaining 2 nominations up (where necessary) to fill 1st and 2nd Choice slots.  In such cases the voter would have only 2 valid votes and only those two would count towards the result.

I trust that this is ok with you, but should you have any questions about the procedures we would like you to adopt for this vote then please feel free to PM us all.

Many thanks Oldie.
