Pimp That Snack

10 just isnt enough.

    rating the pimps i think needs to be out of 100 of ten isnt enough anymore. pimps are getting too good and the gap between say 9-10 is to much to mark an exelent pimp down.

    This has come up a couple of times, I'll take it under advisement [Wink]

    Won't it make the scores of past pimps incomparable with newly scored pimps? [Confused]

    No, but its one of the reasons why it wouldn't be as easy as changing how much to vote by. All existing votes would merely have a 0 added on the end to bring them up to an 'out of 100' vote.

    But if you simply add a 0 that means that pimps who might have scored 9.5 will only have had a score of 90, and likewise pimps that might only be 9.7 may be 100 etc etc. That's not an even playing field.

    Being as it is these in between scores that is the whole reason for changing the scoring system, then that will matter.

    Not that it's the end of the world or owt ... just sayin .... [Wink]

    I think we need to have a 'top pimp of the month' type scenario.
    We could have a gallery of pics at the top of the page, like in a dirty calendar in a car garage (well that's the kind of thing you see on the telly, i don't know if it really happens).
    Miss July = Pimp July or summat?

    I think pimp daddy meant that he would x by 10 which would move the decimal place 1 to the right....something which rated 9.5 would therefore be 95 out of 100 and not 90 like you quote.

    Scores could always be cleared and started again, as you could say it aint fair on the older pimps. 100 people give an average vote of 9 for something then 1 person votes 10 for a new pimp therefore making the new pimp top.

    Best solution would be for someone to come up with a really really complex mathematical equation to score the pimps

    e.g. Total Score = ((Average Score/Number of pimps) x (number of votes/pi (mmmm pi)) devided by (the weight of the pimp x height of the pimp) x Square root of 57

    The answer is 7 if anyone tries to calculate it.

    Of course!! I had forgotten about the average rated score ... apologies, that makes total sense. [Embarassed]

    In response to demands, which I thought were reasonable, pimps are now rated out of 100.

    I've scaled up all past scores to match so now we'll be able to get more granular ratings! [Smile]

    I agree, oh honoured genius [prayer]

    i would take my hat of to you if i was wearing one

    This is too confusing, now I can never decide whether something should be an 86 or an 87. Simpletons like me need a nice rating system out of 10. [Laughing]

    I suppose there's no chance I can convince everyone the old way was better?
  15. blueeyes Thu Sep 14, 2006 6:50 pm #15
    Noooooooooooo

    I like the choice. Makes me feel special

    just use the system in groups of 10..... 10,20,30 etc then you only have 10 options thus giving you the same amount of options as the old system.
    10=1
    20=2
    30=3

    and so on [Smile]

    wouldnt it just be easier to make the ranking out of 10 if that was the case?
  18. em'n'mz Fri Sep 15, 2006 9:13 pm #18
    not really becasue a few people like to have the choice of 86 or 87

    i think out of 100 is great much more scope for these great pimps we are seeing the 10,20,30 thing is for people who likeit out of 10 and cant get used to change like them new fangled grams and litre's.

    Basically this way it means that every1 is happy, those that want it out of 10 can just do the 10,20,30 thing and those of us that like it out of 100 have enough choice aswell.

    Beckly sorts it out [Laughing]

    you could have a quick vote list at the top of the drop down menu...e.g. 10, 20, 50, 90 and then have more accurate scores below.

    That way everyone is happy.
