What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

One I thing I personally want clarified, but overall I agree with this. Let Martin see this too before our vote is in.

Can two teammates be charged with breaking the same rule and have their team lose 20 points?

    Sounds good to me.

      Given that the last voting round totally ignored the rule proposed only one turn before (about voting order - btw I didn't mention it before because that rule has always seemed too much of a hassle; why should I enforce a rule I don't like?) I'm worried that this would introduce (ironically) too much legal wrangling... but I'll hold my vote until I can talk to my partner.

        Jon you know what's weird? Your comment #1 is hours before mine, but it wasn't visible when I posted this one.

          I'm inclined to say no. I see no benefit.

          I would support this if it were reworded to say "There will be no penalty incurred by any team or player who has been judged to have broken the rules". ;)

                Well, hell. I don't know. I haven't even read the rules and have no idea what's going on. I support my partner, since he was with it enough to propose this.

                So is that a wrap?

                I think we still need an official vote from Djehuty/prompt...and then, yes.

                      Looks like 1-4 against, then.

                      313 - 291 = 22, * 1/5 = 4.4, - 10 = -6.4 for Viki and Orlando.

                      SHEdited. 4.4 - 10 =/= -5.6; WTF?
