The Algorythym is not working properly

Jan 27, 2009 by Nfuego
I'm new here, but after having many discussions during my games, I feel the current algorythym is not fair.

3 people are nominated each day. 2 of those 3 leave the game at the end if the day. The algorythym only computes on the two people that do not win the vote instead of computing on ALL the remaining players in the game.

Basically, if you are not given the lowest vote totals, you have approx. a 50/50 shot of leaving the game even though you may have been a lot more active in the game than many of the other participants.

From what others have told me, the algorythym wasn't always set up this way.

No it isn't! The 1st evictee is based on votes, and the 2nd is based on activity, and that evictee doesn't have to be a nominee!!
Perhaps this is new algo! =O

Hey there! I blogged about this yesterday and people are still saying that in other casting games, non-nominees are being evicted. So maybe our game is just one big fluke? However, there have been other differences so I still think something is "off." +9

Individual differences perhaps?
Maybe certain games have certain algos?? hehehe

In my game before the algo evicted somebody who wasn't up on the day before the final.. when at the top it says "if you're safe you've made it to the final" which made no sense to me :S

oh, yeah that happened in my game months ago...  that's nothing new, but that tip should be removed!
