Can this thread please be stickied?

O.K., I'm starting this thread to give the community an "official" general idea of each character's Power with the Force. There can be variances of each character represented (ie; Vader presuit/Vader suited). Anyone who wants to, can join in, if you don't want to, please keep your comments to yourself. Here's how the rating system will go...

Each character gets 10 votes (1 vote per person) on a scale of 1-20, 1 being the lowest, 20 being the most powerful or tied for the most powerful force user ever. The lowest vote for each character will be thrown out. When 10 votes have been accumulated, I or someone can total the votes and come up with an average, that number will be the "official" force power rating for that particular character. If you are not a part of the 10 votes for a particular person, sorry tough luck. When one character is finished, "the first person" to mention a new character will take precedence, and that will be the next character to be rated. Here is an example of how the process will go...


Barriss Offee

Votes: 6, 7, 5, 4, 6, 9, 8, 7, 6, 8,

So here the low vote is 4, so that would be thrown out, the remaining 9 numbers would be totaled for an average. In this case...


Barriss Offee: Official Rating: 6.8


O.K., that was just an example, remember please try to keep all your biased thoughts in check, and give each character their full due.

First Candidate: Luminara Unduli

All you have to do is put down a number, I'll start.

Luminara Unduli: 12

BAD IDEA.

Darth Bandon: nine trillion trillion google-plex.

Please keep your comments to yourself, if you want to "actually" participate in the thread fine, just don't be a troll.

Darth Bandon: Over 9000
Darth Revan: -1

how did you decide there were 10 of us?

Please, no trolling.

I didn't, it just seemed like a decent number, where the voting could happen somewhat quickly, and we could move on to the next character.

Luminara 7

Luminara Undulii: 8

Luminara 9.

Ive been thinking about this, and I think I'll throw out the low vote as well as the high vote, it just makes sense.

Does 10/11 represent the absolute average power of a Force User (which I'd imagine would be Jedi Knight level)? If so I'd probably give her a 13.

Maybe make the scale 1-50?

So you don't have to give any reason why you give someone a certain number? I can't wait until the fanboy characters get there.

Luminara: 10.

I know nothing of her, so I'll go with a nice safe 10.

Also, trying to rate Zayne Carrick'll be fun.

Luminara: 10. I'm waiting for Bandon, and Kas'im *flexes*.

20 is (in your opinion) the most powerful force user of all time, go from there to determine what any certain character's rating is in the grand scheme of things.

Change it to 1-50. 1-20 doesn't allow for enough variation.

All who want the scale changed to 1-50 say I. Three "I's" in the next 5 posts will change it, other wise it stays the same. Remember if this is done we will have to start over. Edit: If I post it doesn't count as one of the five posts.

You could also try moving averages to minimise outliers.

3 point moving average:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (in order of value)

1 = (1 + 2 + 3)/3
2 = (2 + 3 + 4)/3

....

8 = (8+9+10)/3

So you end up getting 8 remaining numbers which can then be averaged.

You could also assign different levels of voting power to each individual (I for instance could get 2 votes, truejedi automatically gets his vote cut in half, you take Dr McBeefington's vote and subtract it from 20 etc.)

Just a thought...

No, it's fine the way it is. Each person's vote counts for just 1 vote, no one is taking precedence over another.

How about everybody who originally participated gets to make 2 votes (they don't have to be the same) while anybody who comes in later only gets one?

There aren't all that many people on this forum, if your worried you or someone else won't get a vote, just be here daily and you probably will. If at some point in the future, it needs to be changed, so that more people get the chance to vote, then so be it, for now this should work.

Ok but what if someone, let's say truejedi, repeatedly made absolutely outrageous votes for every single contest, then would the rest of us be able to vote on whether or not he gets eliminated from the voting process?

Both the high and low vote are thrown out, thus the extremes should be covered. But if someone does continually make insane votes, that do not whatsoever coincide with the rest of the votes, that person's votes could end up being disregarded.

What if he repeatedly voted 10 in every single matchup, from Luke Skywalker to Ki-Adi-Mundi?

actually, it does, considering we are all voting.

and wolfpack,what if grahf's votes continue to be so ridiculous? can we cut them in half?

What is your problem Grahf?

There aren't any problems yet, if someone becomes a problem at some point, then we'll cross that bridge when we get their. There's no point in talking about what if's right now.

edit

Under what circumstances would someone no longer be allowed to vote?

Using truejedi as an example.

Yes, let's not fix the problems, let's remove them.

As I said, We'll cross that bridge "if" we get their, we aren't their now.

Enough of this crap, or maybe you will be the example of someone who's vote will be disregarded.
