yeh, sry - not meaning to be awkward and I'm not going to fight for any particular outcome ... I though Christian's idea (further up) was adopted, but then there's no official adoption method ... so ... what's the best method for picking 5th ?

sorry daz,not sure what you mean?

- what I mean is I'm not trying to be grumpy, or greedy, and I'm not here to dispute whatever (eventual) distribution method is settled upon - I'm amazed I got 4th, and hopefully, appropriately grateful

... are we all meant to have a seperate vote for 5th as dev's choice, or is this done through the votes cast by (most) dev's in the main voting. Christian's idea was for a streamlined distribution and could be applied from any rank, onwards :

c.borss wrote:For N entrants this procedure has a time complexity of O(N). Here's a O(1) algorithm:

1) Every entrant sorts the prize list according to his personal preferences.
2) After a given time (lets say 2 weeks) the organizer distributes the prizes:
- the winner gets the first item on his list
- the second place entrant gets the first entry on his list which is still available
- the third place entrant gets the first entry on his list which is still available
- ...

We could use a modified version of Ben's voting script for the ordered list. The default value of all entries is "don't care". If someone is interested in some prizes only, he does not have to specify the rest. If the first entry on an entrants list which is still available is a "don't care", he is skipped and re-queued to the end of the list of entrants.

You're doing fine. *thumbs up* And yes, lists are a good idea. Wish I'd done that last time 'round.

Cool. So how will this work? Any time limit? Will choices be allocated by rank or how quickly people get their list in? Regardles thanks and respect for taking this on

spacedad · Post by **spacedad** » Sat Dec 05, 2009 5:03 pm

rank.

spacedad · Post by **spacedad** » Sat Dec 05, 2009 5:06 pm

i guess a time limit must be sort of implemented.
