I hate to go on about this constantly and I apologise in advance because it is probably extrenely annoying that you keep seeing me whine and winge about the Super-Powered War but as pointed out by Pach in a recent discussion, it is evidently the voting demand of the Super-Powered War which is putting off voters and in turn causing inactivty which locks the blog's comments.

As such, since this is just as much your event as it is mine due to you all providing fantastic heroes and villains - I want to discuss the possibility of changing the voting style to something more suitable to the large content the blog has. 

The proposed format in my discussion with Pach (By him kindly) was a tally and summary system. 

Essentially, users would look at the three sections by which the match ups are split up: Leader, Higher and Lower Tier.

They would then tally the survivors of the match ups based on who they think would win, e.g. Lower Tier: Heroes: 9 Villains: 3 or something like then provide a summary of how and/or why. Ultimatley, you'd have 3 tallies of the survivors of the Leader, Higher and Lower tier and 3 summaries and then possibly some concluding notes on the ultimate winner.

It is undoubtable that this change in voting style would be much smaller than the match up per match up style I currently have in place and as such, more people could hopefully vote sooner and the blog could end much sooner. 

Here's a poll if you're lazy:

Let me know what you think of this, it is good? Bad? Awful? Got any ideas yourself?

Whatever voting style is decided, I'm probably going too reupload the blog with the new voting style if a new one is brought in.

It happens on a day to day basis,

it is one of the most annoying things that anons can do,

it clogs up Wiki Activity and wastes user time.

I am of course - talking about when contributors and in very rare cases, users, 'resurrect' old battles by commenting on them. While my proposition is only minor, I feel as though it is something we do need to bring to the table and discuss.

The penalty for commenting on old blog battles is not light, and 'resurrecting' them into the Wiki Activity section is punishable by a three day ban, but let me ask you something.. has that ever really stopped them? While the punishment is effective and clear, anons still go for it and they will continue to do so undoubtedly, but what if we could change that?

All I'm proposing at it's core element here is that we either ensure or encourage users to disable commenting on their blogs. If they are going to announce the blog is over in their comments, surely they have the time too make an edit that doesn't show up on Wiki Activity. 

I think we need to share ideas and opinions on this. My idea is that we just ensure or make it a rule than users disable commenting on their blogs after the blog is closed, and if this idea here is perused, we can publish an official blog or forum post for everyone to see so they know how to do so if they didn't before. Disabling the comments does not show in Wiki Activity so disabling all your own would not to do and current ones would not do so either. 

Thoughts? Opinions?

Hey guys,

While I hold no grudge with Swg, I think we need to look at the rematching an old battle by Swg: Thor vs. Darkseid. I would very much like to do this battle and I believe this battle needs to rematching for a couple of reasons. 

• Warrior presentation was not well done. I don't mean to be rude about Swg but the warrior's presentation was very lacking and instead of listing their powers, links to their powers on other websites were offered.
• There is a major lack of photos to show the warriors and the two ones present are fairly small.
• No X-factors or comparison was actually done. 
• Votes were below average. One voter voted in favour of Thor purley because they didn't know who Darkseid was and Leo was the only user who provided reasoning behind Thor winning.

Hey felllow wikians,

I am in the process of designing a one off event I'm calling the 'Super-Powered War', and that's all I intend for you to know about it for now with the exception of this discussion in which I need to settle a debate. The issue I am having is how to co-ordinate this event in regards to establishing your character's powers for the event so if you would be as kind as to answer this little poll below, I would be very grateful and will explain in a little bit more detail below the poll. 

• Should you like to follow a power tree system with points, the way it works is that you are given some points with which you spend these points on a variety of powers within a certain tree. Each tree consists of powers relating to a type of element or ability like magic or fire, so the fire tree will consist of fire related powers.
• Should you like to have no tree or point system, you could have a much more open system where you can create the powers you want but at a limit where you don't produce something to the level that you can flatten Superman and Thor in one go.
• If you have your own ideas please share them in the comment below and I will look at each and every one. If you see someone has produced an idea you like, give it a Kudos so I know it has the support. 

Thanks everyone,

Kite.

Someone help me, my chat is completely messed up? Does someone know how I can fix this and so it can stand as a future reference to anyone else experiencing the same technical difficulties:

Hey guys,

I think we have to agree there are some very funny users on this wiki. Whether it's completely random or a well structured joke, we've got some people who have all made us laugh at some point.

As you all know, well.. atleast hopefully know, the year is coming to a close. With that comes our yearly nominations for awards and this year I wonder if we should add a Funniest User of the Year award? 

It's an idea. Some of you may think it's f*cking stupid, some of you may think we need to find the Deadliest Joker (That was awful.), so I ask.. feedback?

Yes?

No?

Sh*t award photo?

You reply, let's discuss.
