UPN 2012 "Most Desired Type Combo" Poll - Phase 2! (again)

See the original Phase 2 thread here for full details. So ...

Bug/Dragon - 204
Dark/Electric - 202
Electric/Psychic - 184 <--
Fighting/Ghost - 213
Ghost/Grass - 220 <--
Ghost/Steel - 195
Notice anything?

Several weeks ago, Concept pointed out to me that I'd make a bookkeeping error and had accidentally included Ghost/Grass (220 points) over Electric/Psychic (184 points). This was a pretty huge error considering Electric/Psychic, in Stage 1 polling, proved to be the least unpopular. Human error. I'd been kind of lazy in creating this do-over thread, and I was also a little curious to see how the final poll results would turn out for the original group of five. But since voting's pretty much stalled for that thread, I figure there's no reason to delay here any further. We're doing a do-over, and we're scrapping Ghost/Grass from the list and in its place comes Electric/Psychic.

As before, vote for all five type combos, ranking them from the one you most want to see (1) to the one you least want to see (5). Please avoid ties and rank each type a unique number. Once again, 1 means best, 5 means worst. The five combos are: Bug/Dragon, Dark/Electric, Electric/Psychic, Fighting/Ghost, and Ghost/Steel.

Second, please vote honestly, not strategically. The goal is to allow people to vote for their genuine favorites without worrying about trying to vote strategically to ensure some particular type does not win. As a result, we will be using the Schulze method to properly assess a winner. (See: this site.)

Third, anyone may vote or not vote. If you didn't participate in Phase 1, that's fine, you may still vote now. If you did participate in Phase 1 but no longer wish to vote, that's also fine. Same thing goes for the aborted Phase 2.

The round continues with Relicanth landing on Central Avenue! He decides to purchase the property.. it's super effective! Vulpix instead decides to use Imprison! Suddenly Relicanth finds himself in jail! What an exciting twist! The round ends with Relicanth unable to do anything else at the moment.

Several members are swapping things out of alphabetical order. I don't care what your reasons are for this (OCD, laziness, whatever) but please keep type combos in the alphabetical order provided!!! As a fair warning, anyone who does this after this announcement will have their ballot tossed out! The calculator doesn't count Dark/Electric the same as Electric/Dark, so you make more work for me when you do this, hence the retribution.

This is not what I meant when I mentioned putting things in alphabetical order, and you've only made it more difficult to factor your ballot into the tallies. ^^; I appreciate your response, but please:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5. What I was talking about above was that people were voting like this:
Quote:
1. Bug/Dragon
2. Dark/Electric
3. Psychic/Electric
4. Ghost/Fighting
5. Ghost/Steel
Notice how in this example the combo's been written "Psychic/Electric" instead of "Electric/Psychic" and "Ghost/Fighting" instead of "Fighting/Ghost." This is what I've asked people to please not do. But please, do continue to rank things in order from 1 (most desired) to 5 (least desired). Do not scramble them up while keeping the list itself in alphabetical order.

With the votes tallied as follows:

Spoiler: show
1:BugDragon>DarkElectric>GhostSteel>ElectricPsychi c>FightingGhost
1:BugDragon>ElectricPsychic>DarkElectric>FightingG host>GhostSteel
1:BugDragon>FightingGhost>DarkElectric>ElectricPsy chic>GhostSteel
1:BugDragon>FightingGhost>ElectricPsychic>DarkElec tric>GhostSteel
1:BugDragon>GhostSteel>FightingGhost>ElectricPsych ic>DarkElectric
1:DarkElectric>BugDragon>ElectricPsychic>GhostStee l>FightingGhost
1:DarkElectric>BugDragon>ElectricPsychic>FightingG host>GhostSteel
1:ElectricPsychic>FightingGhost>DarkElectric>Ghost Steel>BugDragon
1:GhostSteel>ElectricPsychic>DarkElectric>Fighting Ghost>BugDragon

Only one ballot was thrown out for failing to follow instructions and it was the one that submitted votes for six things. ¬_¬

The Schulze winner is Bug/Dragon.



Judging from the table up top, it looks like Electric/Psychic came in second overall (losing only to Bug/Dragon), then Dark/Electric, then Fighting/Ghost, and finally Ghost/Steel in last place.

If people would like to still vote, they can since this isn't really a big deal and I'd like to think people will vote honestly rather than vote influenced by the early poll results, but I think I gave this plenty of time. Apologies for the mess-up I made in the initial Part 2 thread.
