Haflinger Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 If two senate candidates have the same number of votes, how does the game engine break the tie? At one point recently on purple senate there was a 3-way tie for second place, which of course meant that the candidate who lost the tiebreaker didn't have a seat. I was just wondering how the tiebreaker was determined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willaim Kreiger Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 This is just a guess but I think it would be the last person to get the vote would move to the top. I have no proof to back this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Bacia Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Dunno, but its tied for 3rd place on the blue team senate right now. Can't see any difference between the nations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no proof to back this up. It's not. I have verified it by tracking vote counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDave Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Is it therefore whoever got the vote first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Janova Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 My guess would be the stronger nation gets the seat, as stronger nations appear higher up in the voting list. Either that or the earliest nation will get the seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zikawe Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Are you sure you check? (Correctly?) I was senate on pink team (big win ) for a while and it seemed to me whoever got the latest vote would go to the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haflinger Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I was senate on pink team (big win ) for a while and it seemed to me whoever got the latest vote would go to the top. It seemed like it was for a bit. But I was refreshing often enough at one point to see individual vote adds, and it was clearly maintaining the same order regardless of who had gotten the latest +1 vote. It's not NS BTW. It's been clear that these three nations in Purple are in the following order on the tiebreaker: #1... Solostar #2... Reformentia #3... Spoontonia I have wondered if it was the last month's standings that was the tiebreaker. This is the order they were in before reset.

Willaim Kreiger Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 My only other guess was nation age, and it isn't that, I just checked. So perhaps admin is playing with our minds and it IS entirely random? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I voted for Blue team Senate yesterday to tie votes for thid and the fourth place stayed in fourth place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
