Weighted Voting System Changes (Patreon)
Content
Now my reasoning:
The Weight gain sequence has won 12 months out of the 22 months my patreon has been doing these monthly events, and that balance is honestly not ideal in my eyes, especially given 2 options haven't won at all.
I took some time to do some looking, and noticed a couple things about voting:
===
-A very large majority of voters have double voting power; this month, there were 76 votes on the 1 dollar voting poll. 55 of them were 5$ and higher voters. This pattern holds true for past months where a large percentage of voters are double vote casters.
-despite the above, a victory still counts as a single vote against that choice.
The two above observations mean that my weighted system isn't doing much to slow down the popular options, and next to nothing to help the options who've yet to win a victory because they essentially end up accounting for less than one person overall.
This system was made under the original assumption that single voters would outweigh the double voters at least somewhat, but that has been the exact opposite of the case.
===
Due to the fact that most of the people voting are double voters anyway, the fair thing to do in order to diversify the events is to try and line up the weight against victors with the weight of the votes most are casting.
This may seem pretty harsh, but I assure you, even with this huge penalty increase, I foresee the WG sequence still winning it's fair share after the penalties equalize a bit. I looked at this month's tally, and if I applied this new system to this month's polls, the WG sequence would've lost by only one vote.
My main goal is to mix things up every once in a while, because a healthy portion of my patrons don't necessarily enjoy WG, and a lot of them don't mind it but would like to see other belly kink sources/themes on more occasions. I myself hope to diversify the events too, especially since there are a couple options that I personally enjoy that I'd like to see win more often!
Of course, I appreciate any and all feedback, but please be sure to give good reasoning behind your ideas and criticisms!
