Vote Thread for Ack's Omake Corner

And another few rounds where our counts match, Ack. :)

Milestones: At the end of the past round, counting points since the beginning of a separate voting thread, with 2041, Recoil becomes the first to pass 2000 total points. And with 1030, One More Trigger joins the four-digit club.

Or possibly Aftermath. I'm having different thoughts about my earlier assessment. In the past three rounds it got 21, 34, and 23 points more than MirrorVerse. With MirrorVerse's lead down to just 38 points, it's quite feasible for it to go One More Trigger, Aftermath, MirrorVerse, which, with 472 points at the start of this round, opens up the possibility that MirrorVerse will end up with the highest first win total (over Brian & Aisha's 501), to go with its record of most rounds to get to that point (42 by then), and lowest number of points gained per round (~12.35).

I'm confused, are these additive? Because my math says Panacea with 65 beat Recoil with 64. Don't get me wrong, I prefer Recoil, I'm just trying to figure out how voting works exactly.

To expand on what Ack's already said, since I'm possibly contributing to the confusion with the stats observations I've been making:
-The important value for the purpose of story order is the one that Ack is listing. That's the reason why if number of votes per round is mentioned in the vote end posts, it's as an addendum. It's neat information, but in isolation, an individual round's point gains don't determine anything.
I track a bunch of figures and try to make sure to distinguish them when describing them, but sometimes use shorthand whose exact meaning needs to be interpreted using context. The main ones are:
-running total: Ack's listed totals that get reset when they come highest in a round.
-cumulative total, or overall total: points gained since splitting the vote thread from the Omake Corner
-round total (usually by fic): points gained in a given voting round.
-voters per round
-points per voter per round
-average point gain per round (by fic)

For specific purposes I also split things out. For instance, in another five rounds, this thread will have had the same number of rounds (12) as there were since we started voting on the current slate of fics on the NSFW voting thread, and I'll check what differences, if any there have been. If Ack decides to add or remove another fic to the slate before then, I'll probably go early so that the data sets are more comparable.

Well, Nemesis is out there now. Please don't vote for it, but feel free to leave a comment with your vote if you think it should join the voting round. (I might be doing a second part to it soon anyway).

On that note, if you're on a roll with Nemesis, I'm not in favour of your adding it to the voting yet. Often fics don't start getting substantial numbers of votes until they've had a few chapters anyway (see Trump Card), and it might benefit from being a bit more established. Not that being in the vote rounds would stop you from writing more if you felt like it, but if you're going to be writing it anyway, then may as well let people put their votes towards other fics since there are already plenty of options, some of which could do with the votes. You've mentioned a few fics are winding down relatively soon, so you could add Nemesis as a replacement when that happens. Or if that's too far off, you could wait a few (say five?) more rounds until the SFW vote thread has had as many rounds as the NSFW one with this slate.

Okay then. Recoil is up. And as I took longer than usual on it (outside distractions), I'll be tallying votes about ... say, now.

Voting is CLOSED.
 
Vote 9: One More Trigger

Nemesis is still not a voting choice, but it's on its second chapter.


Aftermath 475
All Unaware 207
Bait & Switch 119
Brian & Aisha 29
Confrontation 279
Danny & Taylor 292
I, Panacea 245

Actually thinking Aftermath, followed by MirrorVerse


For anyone who hasn't voted on this thread before, the voting rules go as follows:

1) UP TO five votes. I will not count anything extra, and a write-in will likely be ignored (if I want to write a different story, I will, but at my own discretion). Suggestions are welcome, but I am under no obligation to carry them out. And just remember, the more stories I am writing, the longer it will take for your favourites to roll back around.
2) First vote is worth five points, second is worth four, and so on.
3) You can't vote twice on the same story. First vote is the only one that counts.
4) If I say "Voting is CLOSED", then this post comes up, with "Voting is OPEN" at the bottom, then you can vote again.
5) If I say "Voting will continue", it's still the same voting period. Voting has not restarted. You can not vote a second time.

Vote format looks like this:

[X] I, Panacea - 5
[X] Security! - 4
[X] Recoil - 3
[X] Trump Card - 2
[X] NSW - 1

Specifically: SQUARE brackets around an X, one space, and please spell at least the first word of the name of the story properly. Number of voting points comes last. Please try to format your vote properly, so as not to confuse the vote counter.
