And now for the first 3 results!

First of all, I find this method of revealing the score MUCH too personal, as revealing the votes of individual people is the best way to start a flamewar. I can see this is derived from your block formation reveal, but the whole point of the block formation was to keep anonymity. This is NOT how you reveal the score.

Secondly, you apparently didn't take my vote in since I voted for Mexico and you explicitly stated he didn't receive any points.

I prefer to keep my anonymity in my votes, so please change this ASAP, for the sake of the competition.

As stated MANY times before in this thread and in the rules. Each individuals votes are combine with jury votes... so the end result we get isn't just strictly yours, it's a mixture of yours and the jury.

The general jury vote is turned into votes which then are combined with yours, then they're ordered in the highest points and those are the points given in the results, not just your lone results.

...Wait, hang on. how does this thing work? I'm really confused.

Guys, weren't there fourteen people who voted? He's only counted the first three results. Sooner or later he'll be revealing mine, as well as the rest of yours.

Eurovision does the same -- people actually know where the 12 points go. Now I'm one for anonymity, but I'm also one for transparency. So suggest away, guys. What would you honestly do to rectify the situation?

havn't seen this kind of uncovering the results before but i like it. also I hope to beat germany :P

To my knowledge, all participants' votes are added, publicised and tallied, along with the jury's votes. There is a jury for the RAC too, so that might change the positions.

At the moment only three participants' votes are publicised, so it's not even finished yet.

How are the jury votes calculated again? Is it like each jury member's votes are combined with each individual participant's votes or are there specific categories like last time where all of the jury votes are rounded up?

Same here. It's like our votes are completely scrambled.

When you vote those are added to our personal database. But these aren't the actual points your country gives.

The juries votes equal points, just like yours.

Your votes are then combine with the jury votes.

So for example if you gave Iran 10 points and the jury gave Iran 6 the total would then add to 16.

These totals are then ordered to give your countries filtered result. The Juries do not have their own points to give out, they just filter your votes.

And the results for today!

I have no idea what you're trying to explain. I gave Serbia 20 points so what the hell? Did the jury give it negative 10 points on my behalf? ...
I don't understand why you don't just have the participants' votes first, then the jury votes. Now it looks like everyone voted for different songs than they actually did. It's too late for there to be a point in changing it now and hopefully you've done the math right so that the final results (which is, to be honest, probably the only thing most people actually care about at this point) end up right.

Same goes for my list, Buoy. Same goes for my list. I don't think we're even expected to vote for ourselves, so how did I get an extra six points from my own list of votes?

I do certainly wonder how the jury's votes are tallied against my own list TBH. This is one thing that we'd all like to know, because otherwise, it'll look arbitrary at best.

shit didn't expect that I was that bad :(

United Kingdom didn't give itself points! That was an error!

Remove the UK vote bump the others up and Netherlands got 2 points.

Once all the results have been shown and the final result is done the Jury and Voters ranks will be published along with the Points countries Gained on both results.

Juries don't give negative points, the result of the jury results in the same 24, 20 etc. format you guys voted with. If you give points to a country but the jury completely disagrees (it doesn't get jury points) it will obviously not get as high points you gave it. The same goes if a jury votes a country high and you disagreed.

The Jury vote is the same, whereas your votes are different, this is why it's published this way, so that your results are filtered and possible biased is removed, but also it keeps the results week interesting.

I'm putting a lot of work into this contest. I appreciate things are confusing and some people are concerned and I like getting feedback. What I don't appreciate is people telling me what I 'should' and 'shouldn't' be doing and being aggressive in tone. I want people to suggest things, but not tell me how to do things. I've run this contest for about 3 years and it is a lot of hard work... I do it because I enjoy it and I find the people to be generally friendly. Can we please be a bit more constructive and friendly. If you have suggestions feel free to suggest, but think about how you're saying it and about the amount of work I put into this along with the amount of work others do too.

*sigh* Once again I'm dead last. Did anyone really even vote for me?
