Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 7: Group B) [abandoned]

Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 1: Group

Well... "the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray" - but we try.

You're applying what math people call the transitive property. If A > B and B > C then A > C. It works great with numbers, because their order never changes. But songs aren't that simple. You could find that A > B and B > C, but when you run A and C ... C > A!! People's opinions are funny like that. That looks like trouble to me, if it happens.

Yup, I've thought about this aspect of the game a lot actually. I think it's an assumption that should work positively for the game. If A > B and B > C, I won't run A vs. C anymore because the transitivity should dictate that A > C. It's not an unassailable rule/assumption, but it should work for the most part.

Hallowed is #1 Metal Song at Digital Dream Door, I site that IMO has some good lists.

Not anymore. This guy made a huge stink about it, and I think now they're changing it to Black Sabbath.

Ohhhhhhh, it's a round robin. I GET it.

It still is No. 1 at the minute. If it does get replaced for that reason, then who's up for causing another huge stink until it gets turned back?

Really? I thought I could vote for 2 songs from the same bracket. I just can't choose between both.

I tried to make it as clear as possible that you must only choose one song from each pair. Not a big deal in this case since "Revelations" is so far ahead of "Icarus" - but yeah - only one song from each bracket pls

I usually do not read the rules. Next bracket, I'll remember about it.

Not a big deal in any case, ever. Think about it...

If you vote for both, you don't change the relationship between them. Whichever led before is still leading. All you've done is make the vote count a bit larger.
Because no change happens, it's exactly the same as not voting at all, in terms of the final result. It's equal to abstaining.

Hm... Good point. Seems logical. That didn't occur to me, thanks. In that case, I guess voting for the "divider" is also similarly abstaining

Although of course - only if it can be helped - I hope people avoid abstaining as much as possible for better results
