I'm constantly trying to change things. Re: advantaged games (Patreon)

I'm just gonna copy and paste what I wrote in the discord. I've been musing about this today and decided to write them up so as to clarify them a little

people of sauce town
I want... to completely overhaul the advantage system for my votes again
I say this so people stop me (or say it's a good idea maybe)

as of now, there are games that have just kind of lingered in the advantage shelves for kind of forever without moving. like there are games who have completely lost context of when they where voted in the first place.

I think I want to, like... okay

I kind of want polls to be all advantage polls until we clear things up. Basically run a poll with all advantages. The winner wins. if a game with a large advantage loses, then it has a small advantage. if a small advantage loses, it's out.

clear up the whole board, and then keep going in the future. Do random poll, and once we accumulate ten favourites (five bigs and five smalls) we run the same wringer with the new advantages

it changes 'advantage', to basically 'extra life' and 'last life'

There was a bit of a discussion about the best ways to execute this. I feel like Minna hit the nail though on a good way to get this done. It would take three poll events to go through.

So you could do, like  A nine-game poll of the current nine tenners One game would win, the other eight would get downgraded to fivers, so there would be eighteen  Then two polls of nine fivers each (split randomly), one wins, eight get demoted to nothing special  This would be the next three events, and then you'd have a clean slate to do whatever with

On we get a clen slate, we could do something a bit like: five purely random polls, which would get us ten advantaged games. Following this there would be a 10 poll 'advantage bowl', with one winner, large advantages turning small and small advantages returning to the list. The next poll would be the survivors. And then we resume the cycle

I think this would be interesting because it would foster more new games during the polls, and it would keep games that are meant to have an advantage to languish forever: it would take a lot less time to just know if they're sticking around or not. That's better, right?

So an eternal cycle of 5 normal polls and 2 special ones. A season, so to speak. 

Maybe I'm overthinking but I think overthinking these things is fun :U
Any thoughts? Please share.
I tend to discuss these things on the discord, the back and forth is useful for me. Here's the latest invite link: https://discord.gg/Z8x2C6R

lol when I dream up a new scheme before a full season even finishes
(do note that none of this is set in stone, this is brainstorming and trying to figure changes that could be useful)
