Weighted Patreon Event Polls? (Patreon)

Looking back on the last half year of Patreon events, it's easy to see which option is the most popular; Weight gain sequences have dominated, winning 4 out of 5 polls.

So i pose the question: Do you guys think the polls should be weighted against past victors in order to improve odds for less popular choices to  win and to increase variety?

If you have any feelings either way, let me know by voting! And if you have alternative ideas or other feedback, feel free to let me know in the comments

 One option I have been considering include using a past victory as a vote against it for future polls (ie: WG sequence's past 4 victories will be like it is 4 votes lower than what it actually is).

NOTE: This will not be applied to this month's patreon event poll. The earliest it would take affect, if i decide on anything, will be next month for June's event!

I do love the WG sequences but it's definitely time to see something new.

A recurring victory count eventually might make it impossible to ever see an idea again, but I like the idea of maybe weighting a choice at like -5 or something to start to ensure the same thing doesn't get selected two months in a row. Or maybe even just omit last month's winner from the next month's poll, so encourage a shift each month.

Yeah, that's a definite possibility, which is why i'd probably cap out the penalty (-5 is a good spot i think), and possibly have to have a system where the penalty would decay (probably a reduction of the penalty by 1 for each couple months it doesnt win). This also sorta depends on how many voters there'd be in the future, since a -5 penalty carries less weight in a pool of 80 voters than one of 40. Also, after a bit of thinking, odds are some things like the WG and Stuffing sequences, are gonna end up winning the most even with the penalties, since the others are very niche, and only interest a smaller fraction of my following, so I'm not sure if having a big penalty for only the following month will be best for variety if only two choices are ever gonna get chosen xD But yeah, gonna have to keep brainstorming for this! :P
