Understanding VP (Vote Power) and how it works.

Understanding Voter Power and how it affects battles.

A lot of people seem to still be confused and unsure about how the VP( vote power) system actually works on Letsbeef.com.

You do not win a battle by having the most votes, you win by having the Most VP (Voter Power).

Example:

Battler A has a total of 6 votes and battler B has a total of 3 votes. Battler B wins the battle. How?

This happens because the total combined VP for battler B is higher than the combined VP for battler A. Meaning; even though battler A had more votes, some of the votes he received had either 1VP or 0VP.

How & Why is someone's VP lowered?:

A member will have their VP lowered to 1 or in more serious cases down to 0, for: Troll voting, Hate voting, Spam voting etc.. and they will also receive an infraction for their child-like antics as well to go along with their VP being lowered.

Once they have started voting again, their vote will not carry the same weight as it did before, nor will their VP be reinstated until such time as they have proven to be able to vote fairly and conduct themselves in a more mature manner when it comes to voting.

Their previous trolling/hating on other members' battles affected those battles. As such, these poor voters are punished for their actions.

The knock-on effect of this, sadly, is that now when these 0VP member’s start voting on battles, the members who receive their votes may come under the impression that they are winning their battle by simply receiving another vote. When in reality, they may have received another 0VP vote.

Battle remaining open after deadline:

This happens when a battles VP score is equal. The battle will remain open indefinitely until another vote is placed on the battle, which will then result in that battle closing soon afterwards by making the VP on the battle tilt one way or the other (providing that that voter has VP).


Hope this helps you understand better.
