Stephen Leeds--12 I was expecting someone, at some point, to heal one of the Alcatraz characters. It might not happen. I think the number of people participating has been decreasing, though. We'd get a bit more variety of preferences if there were more people.

J.C.--5 I kept forgetting to say this, so: I wouldn't have minded some Perfect State characters, but I think WoT is more of its own thing. Plus, it'd be hard not to add a whole bunch of them. There don't seem to be any Alcatraz fans here. I'm splitting my vote more than usual this time because my favorites don't seem like they need all my heals yet. But I always did it a bit.

I'm assuming I was left out because you saw I was viewing the thread. I haven't read Alcatraz or Legion, but there aren't any characters I know that I particularly want to hurt, so I've decided to use a random number generator to decide which of the ones I don't know to hurt each post.

Yeah – I did that on occasion as well. But sometimes I wanted to post quickly, so I didn't. And later on I mostly just didn't bother refreshing. Posting the vote, then editing in the score, would allow carefulness about ninjas while still posting quickly, but it would still be extra effort.

So... what next? I just recalled something from another forum that could be done to guard against ninjas: request that people post their vote alone, then refresh the page (since some ninja posts won't show up without refreshing) and edit in the score. And do we need to adjust the rules at all?

My count got off by one at some point, annoyingly, but I have it as 211 for and 141 against. Surgebinding actually had more heals: 255, to 250 hurts. The doubled votes were 77-66 in favor of Rithmatics. As you can see if you do the math, it doesn't quite add up, but I'm satisfied that the error is with my counts and not those in the thread (and also, my count would have Surgebinding at -2), so I can't be bothered to fix it right now.

Results: Rithmatics - Champion! Surgebinding - lasted 659 votes Feruchemy - 516 Allomancy - 95 Hemalurgy -87 Forgery - 68 Voidbinding - 58 Oculatory Stuff - 52 Awakening - 48 Epic Powers - 46 Bloodsealing - 36 AonDor - 33 Channeling - 31 Dakhor - 24 ChayShan - 19 Old Magic - 17 Smedry Talents - 11 There was a pretty huge gap between 3rd and 4th.
