spylaw4 Posted October 28, 2011 Share #21 Posted October 28, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Now that's an interesting idea! 1 extra vote per attendance! Ahh - could one split one's votes? I quite like 'X' but I wouldn't mind 'Y' etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill Posted October 28, 2011 Share #22 Posted October 28, 2011 I should get a casting vote for thinking it up in the first place, then Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share #23 Posted October 28, 2011 I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work that way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted October 28, 2011 Share #24 Posted October 28, 2011 Copenhagen has an interesting statistical characteristic of adding four votes whenever anything gets within four votes of it...hope it doesen't move like that when the ferry arrives....

octo Posted October 28, 2011 Share #25 Posted October 28, 2011 Nothing - it's still there Given that we have been to Southern Europe three times in a row, it was felt that more northern cities should be offered as a choice for 2012. There's nothing to prevent Istanbul or any other city, being considered in future years. I quite like your idea of "the more you attend, the more votes you have". As the only person to have attended every challenge, that would give me ten votes next year. Which would be handy. Now, that really IS democracy PS - Don't forget the Charity Book we discussed Andy, Did I miss one? Can't remember which. Anyroad, I agree, for obvious reasons, that the ones who put their efforts - and money - where their mouths was should weigh more heavily: proven commitment and all that. Yet, they, or should I say, we, were also the ones to abide by the vote of the majority. Every year has seen new faces who, presumably, did vote at some stage. So the fact that our next destination is chosen in an open vote is part of the Challenge, IMHO, and may incite more participants. I quite agree with the suggestion that votes be not anonymous.

andybarton Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share #26 Posted October 28, 2011 You didn't miss one, but the suggestion was that people who'd only attended one, would get two votes. Have you also been to all the Challenges, Philippe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted October 28, 2011 Share #27 Posted October 28, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Keep it simple please. Shortlisted destinations, 1 vote per person. I doubt this matters enough to warrant gerrymandering! My issue last year was the initial 'military coup' who decided the venue full stop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted October 28, 2011 Share #28 Posted October 28, 2011 How about voting in the same way that we use for the Challenge itself: 'vote for your three favourite destinations'... ...the top one gets 3 points, second 2 points, the third choice gets 1 point, the one with the most points at the end wins Then the whole thing is consistent all the way through . I also agree that the voting should not be anonymous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share #29 Posted October 28, 2011 It wasn't a military coup last year and we still ended up in Palermo anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted October 28, 2011 Share #30 Posted October 28, 2011 It wasn't a military coup last year and we still ended up in Palermo anyway. Well initially it was declared that Palermo would be the destination, it was only thrown open to vote after complaints by myself and others. I was happy with the final decision, knowing I had the opportunity to have my say. Call it democracy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted November 7, 2011 Share #34 Posted November 7, 2011 ... My issue last year was the initial 'military coup' who decided the venue full stop. Hardly a miltary coup when it was decided on a vote by all of last year's attendees and then endorsed through a forum-wide vote, James. How were the venues for the first few One Challenges decided because I don't recall being invited to vote? Perhaps I missed the voting threads. Pete.

Pete, initially Palermo was chosen during the Venice weekend and it was announced here that that's where it would be. It was only thrown open to a forum wide vote after some of us who couldn't attend Venice voiced our opinions about reverting back to an open vote. Bill set the first One Challenge in London. I can't recall how it was decided for the 2nd time but I'm pretty certain we've used the same shortlist/voting system since then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio58 Posted November 7, 2011 Share #36 Posted November 7, 2011 Well 2012 is probably not possible for me but having looked at what is involved (in the challenge), it is definitely something I would like to participate in at some stage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted November 9, 2011 Share #37 Posted November 9, 2011 To pre-empt any pedantic responses, of course I don't mean military coup in the literal sense, as there isn't a military organisation within this forum (except of course for members here who have served, or are serving, or are about to serve in some branch of the armed forces, including the French foreign legion). My reference to a military coup was partly in jest (see humour, joke, sarcasm) but also to describe how the original choice of venue was made by a small section of the forum who voted among themselves and declared the result as final, as opposed to the hitherto (and subsequent) rather more democratic approach of an open vote, for a shortlisted number of venues, chosen by the attendees of the 'current' challenge. Just wanted to make that clear before I get corrected, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
