February 23Feb 23 Thing is though if you get 0pts for your act, or have your points counted for them - it would end up cancelling each other out anyway. As surely if you're 'managing' an act and the points you give are counted, you'd award them maximum points anyway.So if everyone who votes has their act given 11pts (for example), it would equate to the same as if they got 0pts. Everyone would be in the same boat in the end regardless.I guess if your act gets 11pts if you vote, it would encourage those who theoretically aren't, into at least voting in the category they have an act in... but I guess it depends if it is widespread or not. It could just be a lot of chat for nothing 😂

I guess it depends how much you'd want your own act to go through - if you get 0pts if they're placed last or first - you might as well not place them first, so people don't guess who has what act.Anyway - I look forward to the results and being shocked at the decisions Edited February 23Feb 23 by ElectroBoy
February 23Feb 23 Hypothetically, I would be ranking everything as normally as possible and putting my own act where I thought they deserved to be.Hypothetically, of course.
February 23Feb 23 Actually, changing to maximum points for your act, rather than zero, regardless of where you place them does get around the issue

February 23Feb 23 But then if you're the only person who gives your act maximum points, you'd be found out.
February 23Feb 23 I think dandy’s suggesting when you vote your own act gets maximum points regardless of where you’ve placed it. So everyone has the incentive to vote.

February 23Feb 23 Ah I've just spotted the "regardless of where you place them" in Dandy's post - yes, agree!
February 23Feb 23 dandy's a much smarter member than we all give him credit for. He should be given a crown or something.
