The Second Great Ritual of Voting: This Time, It's Personal

By Jedit2, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

Hello, folks! I don't know how many of you malingered on the old boards or remember the original Great Rituals of Voting that I set off there, but I promised that a second round of Great Rituals would be run when Innsmouth Horror - the last big-box expansion - was finally released. Well, it took me a little while to get hold of IH, but here it is.

For those who missed it the first time: the Great Rituals of Voting are what is commonly known as "hurt/heal" polls. In these polls, each candidate starts with a certain number of points. Everyone can then vote to hurt a number of candidates by deducting a point from their tally, and may also heal another candidate by restoring a point. When a candidate runs out of points, he or she is eliminated from the poll and optionally awarded a final placing. The last candidate to still have points is the winner.

The object of the Rituals is to find out the most popular Investigators and GOOs, not the best or easiest to defeat. If you love Patrice or Mandy because they're strong, vote to heal them. If you hate them because you think they unbalance the game, vote to hurt them. There are no wrong answers - just go with your personal preference. Although it needs rules to keep things orderly, it's all just a bit of fun and in no way as serious as being sucked through a dimensional portal to have your soul feasted upon by an unspeakable tentacular evil.

So, without further ado - let the Ritual commence!

The Rules of Voting:

1) Each Investigator starts with 10 points.

2) Voters must hurt exactly two Investigators, and may if they wish heal one other Investigator.

2a) When there are eight or fewer Investigators remaining, this changes to one hurt per vote and no heals.

2b) An Investigator with 10 points cannot be healed - they're not hurt!

3) Voters may vote no more than once every 24 hours.

To give an example of how the voting should be done, I'll vote first.

Copy and paste the list from the last post, then correct the numbers with your hurts and heal and highlight the changed rows. Once that's done, list what you've done like so:

Hurt: Dexter Drake. Just 'cos gran_risa.gif !

Heal: Trish. Dexter can see this seesawing

Hurt: Charlie. Who wants to play a politician. No consensus on his ability.

Hurt: Mandy

I can see this being more of a hastle given the poor edit mode compared top the old forum.

I think I adopted my current handle after doggedly defending my 2 favourites in the poll the last time around - Mar(y) (D)iana the ex-(nun)cultust gui%C3%B1o.gif

Just drag over the list of names and numbers and copy, then paste that into your reply. That way all the formatting is gone (boldeds), so you can bold your changes without suddenly having 6 bolded names.

Oops forgot about bolding sonrojado.gif

The problems I forsee are with simultaneous posting/voting requiring retro editing on the old forum it was easier to go back and edit stuff than it is on the current forum. I'll see if I can still sort out the bolding...

HURT: Daisy Walker. So annoyingly broken.

HURT: Amanda Sharpe. So painfully boring.

HEAL: Dexter Drake. (Mariana kind of messed things up so it was unclear whether she healed Dexter or Trish, so my vote will fix things up- I love Dexter anyway :)

Heal Lily, hurt Harvey since he's miscast and hurt Sister.

Oh golly. It begins again. Time to break the tracking spreadsheet out of mothballs.

Yikes. And it's so much harder this time, because now I actually like a bunch of people I used to hate (Personal Stories).

HURT: Amanda. I actually dig Amanda...but she's mostly unchanged.

HURT: Luke. Still a little annoying to play.

HEAL: Mandy. Still one of the best.

Gott hurt her, for broken-ness, then Hem healed her, out of love. Check the posts.

Fail-proof would be good. How do you suggest we go about doing that?

Impossible. As long as voters continue to fail to double-check their posts, "fail-proof" is a pipe dream. So we leave it up to OP Jedit to keep it all straight. Jedit can adjust things from time to time as necessary, and we all agree to not get upset when he "ruins our plans". gran_risa.gif

oy vay, we gonna be here til the stars are right, and then go wrong again!

Since I have still yet to actually play with half the IH investigators, and have not played many games with the others, my opinion on the newest 16 is embryonic. That said, time to begin the lashing and loving!

HURT: Kate. Dealt a fatal blow by Innsmouth from which she will likly never recover.

HURT: Harvey. A loveable 80s original, but sadly speed now more urgent than ever, and his PS usually takes too long to make a difference.

HEAL: Luke. Still annoying yes and the first 3 turns suck but the Gate Box comes in more handy when you need 2 people in Innsmouth.

HURT: "Ashcan" Pete, the Drifter. I originally really liked him, but his personal Story is unpassable in ~95 % of the games and I really dislike impossible tasks.

HURT: Mark Harrigan. Almost the same personal Story problem as "Ashcan"... depending on a specific gate trophy is really a bad idea. Plus he has 3 Will, 3 Sanity... a combination that is really bad for someone supposed to fight monsters.

HEAL: Sister Mary. A nice personal story, useful abilities for a Gate Closer and unbelievable cool with a shotgun ^^ What´s not to like about her?

Oh, sorry. Missed Hems' heal. And I really checked.

Fail-proof. Not much of an idea, but.. Have a simple database (list) where the changes would be maded based on the hurt/hurt/heal listing, and then compare the db with the list in this poll. Occasionally.

HURT: Patrice > Too powerful to my liking

HURT: Daisy > Just don't like the artwork :-)

HEAL: Charlie > Politician working for the people. We have to stay behind this guy! Together we can do it!

BTW last time around after a few rounds we adopted the practice of typing in the vote and changes fast then going back and adding any comments via edit. This helped save some of the cross posting problems that threatened to screw up the voting

HURT: Leo Anderson. So dependent on getting a good initial ally, and a nasty PS too.

HURT: Kate Winthrop. Never got much use from her even before Innsmouth came out.

HEAL: Mark Harrigan. He can be a bit fragile mentally, but I like him

Edited ranking from Mariana. BTW, Mariana, seeing as how you posted after me on the first page, guess you missed the 24h rule? Don't know if that's upheld how strictly, but I know I'll be aiming to put in my posts around the same time every day. Still 4.5h till my voting time.
