CGC FORUM TOP BRONZE AGE COVERS - Final List, Thought, Impressions

[Zonker]

I love this place

 

[14 of spades]

I'll pick Comic A. My 36 million friends will pick comic B.

 

 

ok BS

 

so i guess in the face of 36 million friends, ur opinion is right? gawd the arrogance.

 

maybe u don't realize that JC's infinite analogy is trying to make a point.

 

THE POINT: (since you don't seem to have figured it out yet)

 

a ranking based solely on a first-place-tally can lead to erroneous results.

 

 

capiche? or are you going to debate this point?

 

i think BS is a shill.

Definitely.

 

Agree.

[Sal]

well, duh.

 

still, anyone who says "pedantry" in a serious manner is fine with me.

I think Conan 20 beats Avengers 93 (which didnt get a first) - and while I agree that the weighted system may be more representative further down the list when the voting is sparse - I still think a straight 5-4-3-2-1 weight problematic (It essentially counts two 3rds as being worth more than a 1st) had I set a weighted poll I would have ascribed values to the weights.

 

Yes, a better way would have been to have a larger spread in the weights to prevent something like that from happening.

 

One way might be to choose a series of prime numbers for the various weights: It does amplify the effect of the 1st place votes, and while it doesn't eliminate the possibility of ties, it does reduce their likelihood, since two lower-place votes would never exactly equal the value of a higher vote:

 

First place is worth 11

Second place is worth 7

Third place is worth 5

Fourth place is worth 3

Fifth place is worth 1

 

That said, it was a fun contest! Thanks Jason & Scott!

 

I love this place

 

I think all the feedback this poll generated is proof that this was a very cool and immensly successful poll. We all have our own opnion, and in case any of you are interested but i'm sure your probably not, I think wrightson's art trumps all and if he were here now i'd not be typing this as i'd be too busy licking his ____! That being said, that's to Jason & Scott for keeping us coming back.

Correction: Thanks not that's. Sorry! I'm drunk!
