Question

Hello :) question/suggestion about the owl competition voting system

Why can we only vote for one owl? Why not make it so each person can vote for 10? What if everyone voted for the same one owl? Then we wouldn't have the 9 others! We should be able to vote for ten :)

Answer 1

Where can we vote?

Answer 3

There are too many

Answer 4

do you see what i mean? or am i being unreasonable?

Answer 5

i feel like voting for ten would insure that ten get picked for the win

Answer 6

Well it is the Top 10 So I think who ever gets the most votes and so on.

Answer 7

will get 1st place and so on

Answer 8

ok so if 100 people voted...and they were only able to vote for one...and those 100 people, collectively, only voted for 5 owls...what happens to the other 5 that were supposed to win

Answer 9

But we would need to ask @Abhisar .He manages the website and all

Answer 10

True @AriPotta

Answer 11

that's why i suggest we should be able to vote for 10 owls. that would ensure that 10 owls win

Answer 12

i hope i made sense?

Answer 13

what is an owl? I mean i know what the animal means, but what do you mean? @AriPotta

Answer 14

there was an owl-making competition that ended today. voting starts today and the winners are announced on the 20th

Answer 15

there are supposed to be 10 winning owls. but i think the voting system that's in place now will not guarantee 10 owls winning

Answer 16

winning for what?

Answer 17

the competition..

Answer 18

you can vote multiple times

Answer 19

yes but what do you vote for?

Answer 20

i tried voting a second time and it said "Thank you, we have already counted your vote."

Answer 21

you vote for the owl you like

Answer 22

what is the competition for?

Answer 23

owlfred's best friends..

Answer 24

Answer 26

Answer 27

I just pressed terurn to poll

Answer 28

return*

Answer 29

i've tried 3 times after my original vote and that comment pops up

Answer 30

even when you push "return to poll" and vote, the comment is still there

Answer 31

were do you vote?

Answer 32

i've already posted where you can vote. scroll up.

Answer 33

How about everybody picks the ten owls they like best. They vote for ten owls. Then we can arrange it.

Answer 34

that's what i was trying to suggest. if everybody has the ability to vote for their 10 favorite owls, then 10 owls are guaranteed to win

Answer 35

@preetha what do you think?

Answer 36

Hmm I understand... It makes sense

Answer 37

Better to make sure you have 10 winners than ending up with only 4 or 5

Answer 38

I am sure they will not have ten winners.

Answer 39

Unless almost every owl gets one vote.

Answer 40

What happens with ties.

Answer 41

30 owls were submitted, so 10 should be able to win. so long as least 10 different owls get some votes. idk how they'll resolve ties

Answer 42

We restricted the ability of multiple votings to check double voting which could have made the poll biased.

Everyone has to vote for their fav owl ryt now and we will arrange the winners according to the number of single votes they get. Be assured about the fact, you think that people will vote for 4 or 5 owls but it's not true. Everybody has quite different choice and thus each owl is recieving votes.

Answer 43

well it was just a suggestion :) i obviously can't see the poll results, so i was just worried that we wouldn't get the 10 owls
