Looks like it to me. His second weighted vote idea would allow two players with buildr scores of 6+ to kill off every submission in minutes.

First off, a submission has to reach a much lower negative number to be ‘killed’, or we simply remove the stipulation that a certain negative value kills a submission.

There’s also the bumumption being made with these weighted voting systems that players with high buildr scores would act in the best interests of the game when voting. That’s a foolish thing to do.

Why is this foolish? FWZ has a significant amount of user-generated content. Those players that have made submissions that appealed to the general fanbase obviously have valuable input, and a sense of what is appropriate to the FWZ Universe.

Additionally, it would be bumumed that those players that have the strongest input via weighted votes would be watched a bit more closely than the average player, so that they do not abuse their power.

And to answer another question posed, I think votes should be limited to players, not characters. All of your characters can make submissions as normal, but only your highest buildr score character is the one that gets to vote.
