Well then I'm honestly not sure. It must be based on a percentage of the total votes taken. I can honestly say I didn't even realize that was a part of the equation

Either way even if someone was tampering with the votes, and positive votes for one ranger meant less for the other, then we'd have some bizarre negative numbers by now.

I've heard it's good. I would recommend going to the ToQger thread, and asking.

Lol trust me, the numbers are WAY bizarre. But thanks for all your help and explanations on the subject,and thanks for welcoming me to the page/group despite my..."rocky" first post. It was an honor being able to talk and confer with you guys... with people who know as much, if not more about Power Rangers/Super Sentai, and love the series as much as I do too. Thanks.

I'm not really understanding what you're saying or why you're confused. The "loss" in the "win-loss record" just indicates how many times people voted for the other character. Losses are equivalent to wins from the other perspective. So, using the Samurai Red/Titanium example - if two people voted at the exact same time, one for Red, one for Titanium they would see (using example numbers)

Red: 20000-30000
Titanium: 30000-20000

It's literally just the numbers reversed, presented in a manner that makes sense for whoever you voted for, since it's a reasonable assumption that the voted would be more interested in that order.

Votes can only go up, not down. That's how a poll works.

Yes the votes for some are quite a bit higher than the others, but just because somebody brings attention to them expecting the votes to go in his favor, doesn't necessarily mean that will happen. As is being demonstrated, the opposite is. And you don't have to vote for all match-ups, hence people stopping at those select few.

Voted again and noticed that in one day Green Ranger has gone from 28% to 36%. Sort of sucks that it seems the cheating guide helped him out. Wouldn't be surprised if his drones take him all the way to victory now.

Drago Rider · 03-28-2014, 08:08 AM

mystic white is at 47%, and rpm gold is at 45%.

Have done my voting for the day. Really hope we pull through this weekend and get to enjoy days of JDF throwing his toys out of the pram.
