Voting spoiled vs unspoiles also makes a difference I am 105 but have less points than others ranked lower. When I compared the scores I found that spoiled players got more bonus points for Peter and Rotu than Unspoiled voters did.

Bonus for Peter spolied:63.54 Unspoiled 62.29
Bonus for Rotu spoiled 7.20 Unspoiled 6.57

I didn't get to vote, I sent an e-mail to Grooch who was going to vote for me because for some reason I can't get into the site but the e-mail was sent back because I didn't have the right address. THANK GOD because I was totally wrong and my votes would have hurt tvclubhouse 2 and trois.

Should we start a thread for discussing how we are going to vote like we had last time. I found it helped hearing others opinions.

Neko, you've got me. Unless it's like I speculated with the previous voting having some play in the present scores, I shouldn't be that high.

Wait a minute... Spoiled voters get MORE points than unspoiled? Whaaat? I would have figured it would be the other way around or at least the same, but not more for spoiled. I had to sign up as unspoiled, because it is nearly impossible for a webtv'r to get into the site when all the computer users are scrambling to get in and have a better chance at making it in than us web-slow-pokes.

Previous votes (votes in previous games) have NOTHING to do with the scores in this game... spoiled and unspoiled does. Unspoiled would mean you are not prevy to some of the spoilers that come out later in the week and must vote by Monday.

All of these rules and explanations are on the deadpool site:)

Urgrace I thought that unspoiled would get more points too. But thats not the way they score it.

It is all based on how many people vote the same. You start with 100 points. Then the subtract the percentage of people that voted like you.

In this case more unspoileds voted for Peter than spoileds. Therefore unspoileds get less points.

I'm thinking this trend will reverse itself in the coming weeks. Because I think as the game goes on the unspoiled vote will be more diverse than the spoiled votes because of spoilers.

I also thought you should get more points if your not off choice came very close to being off. That's not how it works either. It's all about how many people made the same choice.

As for thoughts in this thread that we should all get together and vote alike I'm not sure under these rules that it would be to our benefit to do so.

Actually, Jbean, it says: We'd also like to remind new members of the Deadpool that there is no inherent scoring advantage to playing Standard or Unspoiled; in any given week, depending on the percentages voting that determine bonus points, either can score more points..

Not that it's clear at all. Unspoiled voters only complete against unspoiled voters; and spoiled only compete against spoiled. The Alliances are all lumped together.

So the above explanations for waited scoring still apply. It just means that spoiled voters are only weighted based on what other spoiled voters did; and unspoiled are weighted based on what other unspoiled voters did. So there is no "advantage" in being one or the other.

Okay, that still doesn't make any sense.

Okie Disco, I just figured it was Deadpool's many glitches. They have a very slow server, too. It could be due to very high traffic..but still...
