Thanks! |
Yo, after making my "image" vote for fun I thought about maybe programming something that could tally the votes for us. At first I just wanted to make it easy for people to re-create my photo.
You just need a database of the album covers, a spot for the user to input their point totals (while keeping track of their remaining points), and then a place to tally up the votes.
I'm kinda just rambling, but I'm thinking we could possibly get a group together to come up with some tools that could make our ranking/rating/voting process a lot easier. _________________

Sure, I'm open to collaboration on something like this.
At the moment, I'm just planning to write a quick Perl script to parse the private messages, extracting the album name, artist, and points. The reason I'm encouraging the use of "Insert BEA link" is that it makes use of a database that already exists -- specifically, BEA's. This way I don't have to worry about misspelling, article omission (e.g., leaving out "the" in album titles), etc.
If we were going to make a web tool for the voting process, it would probably have to be incoporated into BEA itself, since making a separate album database would be a massive undertaking.

Keep those votes coming, the top 10 is still very fluid.

Would it be possible for your script to tally how many times each album got the highest possible amount of positive points (30) in a ballot and how many times each album got the highest amount of negative points (-30) in a ballot? Kind of like how many #1 votes an album got in Let's Rank. Would just be interesting to see.

Yes. In fact, people should feel free to chime in with stat requests. After I've presented the main list, I'll post a thread with a more detailed breakdown.

Would love to see average number of points per ballot - ie if everyone had Piñata at 10 points, but literally EVERYONE had it, it could well come in first. While that won't happen, some albums could just receive a lot of low point scores from a lot of users, making them seem more beloved than they really are _________________
