Subject: non biased voting
Written By: tomario on 07/25/06 at 1:01 pm
hello i have an idea for a contest but i need to find a way of picking a winner that doesn't include voting.
in a head to head contest how can i stop the "eurovision"type voting i.e someone voting for a parody because the like/ know the writer better than the other ?
i know stu has mentioned matchplay mines simular it's based on the fa cup/nfl playoffs .a knockout comp.
i just don't know the best way to decide on the winner of each match.
any help /ideas would be appreiciated :D

the only way would be to have the parodies presented anonymously, so nobody knows who wrote them until after the voting is done.

We had a Halloween themed contest 2 or 3 years ago where folks submitted to amiright under an assumed name (ie. "a disguise") a parody of "Who Can It Be Now?"

yeh, but that would ahve to be posted on this site rather than amireight, unless of course the pseudunym was used in the posting and then changed later on.

We posted to AmiRight using our pseudonyms. It was great fun...however...once you've been around the site for long enough, you can start to recognize SOME people's writing styles...several people knew which parody was mine in the Who Can It Be Now contest.
Still...I think it's probably the only way you'll have a chance of non-partisan voting.
