I compiled the code provided by CCP. Here is the output.

Check out how close the other candidates were to winning this election. I won't pretend to understand how this works completely but I am currently googling it and reading the pdf linked by ccp!

I am guessing those are the amount of initial votes everyone got. They needed 118 to be elected and excess votes got transferred over to other candidates. Every round someone was eliminated until there were only 7. This is just my best guess. I still have not finished reading up on how this whole process works.

Also how come Appia isnt in the final 7 and IWS is? (no comment on either candidate there, i am merely trying to understand the outputs)
Interesting stuff none the less (WOOO GO JUDGE!)
Yea I am trying to understand this aswell. I would appreciate some community input if they understand this better than I. I just ran the code for you guys. I'm a programmer, not an election expert. lol.

Things look much clearer in the pie chart. Visualization ftw.
Looks like somehow during the calculations that appia and pokey were skipped.. hmm.

CEOPyrex CloneA wrote:In fact now i look at the data - i can perhaps see what was the Achilles heel of some of the candidates.
The 'self endorsement' saga may have actually been the worst thing they could have done. This created cross votes for sure but as there was no consensus as to the ranking of each endorsement it meant that those lower in the endorsed lists would fair worse when the recalculations were taken into account
This is likely why some of the stronger candidates higher up the ranking tree, lose out to stronger lower ranked candidates. E.g. if everyone had put someone as a v strong 3rd vote - it would have meant they got in as they would have had 118 or more rank 3 votes.
Its quite interesting to see how this has played out with all but one candidate having to rely heavily on multiple ranked votes to get in. Had this been a normal vote system, we would have an entirely different CPM (cept judge who won it as a landslide)
just my 2 cents.
I don't believe many people "copy and pasted" an endorsement list by a specific candidate or followed their ranking so closely. I mean I would like to believe that most people have minds of their own and would have their own lists in their mind. Using the endorsement list only for reference to learning how candidates felt about each others positions...
Well at least I did not do that. I voted for who I believed should be cpm, endorsed by my favorite candidate or not.

I ******* hate you people. I was hoping for Aeon or Appia IWS must have been everyone's "second choice"
I was hoping for Appia to make it. She came close though.

<3 appia!
Well it is sleepy time for me. My IQ will jump up 30 points after a good rest. Then I will see if I can go over the code logic.

CommanderBolt wrote:Thankyou for this thread, I have a much better understanding.
Congratulations to those that won!
My first vote went to Tesfa, my second to Judge however across all my alts IWS was there somewhere.
Judge basically won because of his youtube presence and IWS got in because more than likely everyone knew of him so he was always there...
An interesting system but what's wrong with everyone just having a single vote? I mean is there a specific reason to use this convoluted system?
You are welcome. :)

I ******* hate you people. IWS is proven to do his job. Aeon is not. Hard to prove something I haven't yet had the opportunity to try, but thanks for your sentiment.
I believed in you. I actually was one of the ones who voted for you.
