  • The +1/-1 Game: THE -1 THREAD

    THIS IS THE -1 THREAD


    This is a suggestion I got from Aks in my "What job should I take to 90 next" thread to use instead of a poll. At the time I was already knee deep in votes... so I didn't think it wise to change the rules of the game that far in. That being said... I felt this suggestion was well worth exploring as... lets call it a SOCIAL EXPERIMENT.

    The rules are simple in the +1/-1 game.

    Step 1: Vote for your FAVORITE Job in FFXI. That Thread can be found HERE.
    http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/rac...tml#post919301

    Step 2: Vote for your LEAST favorite job in FFXI. You place that vote in THIS THREAD.

    To see who is in the lead, simply take the numbers in the +1 Thread and subtract the number from the -1 Thread.

    Time to see what job is the most popular. Make sure to cast your vote in BOTH polls!

    I have set them both to stay active for the next 365 days. That should prove to be more than enough time to determine how this forum feels.

      If I could have put 2 polls in the same thread... I would have. I don't ask for miracles, I improvise. Besides... this kinda puts a fun spin on it, don't you think?

        I guess, but the point is, when you eliminate a job, it's gone. With two polls, the "eliminated" jobs will always be an option. Whereas with putting the jobs in each post, eventually, something gets -1'd off, it's gone for good. You'd list all of them and they'd start with 10 usually.

        But we'll see, you have the opportunity to prove me wrong, I think by the time the polls close though you'll have probably leveled your job to 90. XD

          LoL. This isn't a thread to pick my next job to 90. It's just a social experiment to see what the most popular and subsequently least popular jobs in FFXI are... according to our forum.

          I'm curious.

          Besides, TM put up a poll in my origial THREAD-O-MY-FUTURE so that I won't have to count anymore.

            Lazy.

            Okay then. I'm cool with that. Just when you labeled it as the game and then didn't quite make it the game I was like, "uh, what?"

              I just wanted to make sure you got credit for the idea. I'm not a thief.

                  You put the idea in my head... so you get honorable mention. Simple as that.

                  I'm like the Anti-Mark Zuckerberg

                    Someone chose PLD for -1 so I hate this game.

                    edit: NVM it was RNG.

                          Depending on the number of votes these threads recieve, your deception will likely be inconsequential to the over-all outcome. I'm not terribly concerned. 1 vote does not an imbalance make.

                            It throws into question the results. Questionable results are useless!

                              Only if there's a close race near the end. If the one you voted for gets completely ignored... it makes little to no impact on the results. You're betting on the wild card.
