It's been about a year and a half since
Titans Idol ended. (oops!) So let's get the ball rolling on JLIdol, shall we?
The concept of an
Idol game is that players get to vote for their FAVORITES, instead of voting for the characters they most want off the list.
Players have to rank their faves. The higher the rank, the more points a character gets. So your rank 1 might get 10 points, but rank 2 only gets 8, and so on.
Idol games typically produce lots of surprises. Many "popular" characters have been eliminated in the first few rounds of past games, while some relatively obscure or underdog characters have made it to the top (just look at the list of past winners below)!
For those not familiar, you may check out previous
Idol games. Rules vary slightly but the concept is the same. In order of recency -
Titans Idol (Winner: Kole)
Multiverse Legion Idol (Winner: Kinetix)
Reboot Legion Idol (Winner: Triad)
Preboot Legion Idol (Winner: White Witch)
House Rules1) Each round will last about 48 hours. I will try to end each round at the same time, but this won't always be possible because of work.
2) I'll vote at the start of every round to minimize bias on my part.
3) I don't actively encourage editing of votes; it's a smart tactic but may be unfair for those who don't get to log on as often. However, I won't disallow them either. I'll only tally votes at the end of each round (to make it easier on myself!). I'll post on this thread the minute I start tallying to alert everyone; votes that come in after that will be ignored.
4) In case of errors in the results, I'll post a correction immediately. If anyone's vote was affected by the error, that poster will be notified by PM immediately. If the poster cannot correct his/her votes before the end of the round, he/she will get a makeup point next round - a +15 bonus. This only applies to instances where I made the error, and not where the poster made an error.
5) Points will be given based on your ranking. The higher you rank a character on your list, the more points that character will get (e.g. Rank 1 gets 10 points, Rank 2 gets 9 points...) Point distributions will change per round.
6) Exception to the above will be the first 1-2 rounds of the game, which trim the list down considerably. Each vote will count as one point, and characters below a certain point threshold get eliminated.
7) Because several characters have the same code name, and because the list includes multiple realities, PLEASE SPECIFY which character you are voting for. I won't make assumptions for votes which don't identify the character clearly. Example, if you vote for:
1) Superman
2) Maya
3) Elongated Man
4) Green Lantern (Pre-Flashpoint)
I'll only count the votes for Maya and Elongated Man. I have no way of knowing if you're voting for JLU Superman vs. Pre Flashpoint Superman, or whether you're voting for Hal, Kyle, Guy or John.
This pre-game round is to allow us to finalize the list of characters for the game. For obvious reasons, once we get past the first couple of rounds we can't just add characters to the list If you have any characters/realities you want to add, post here. Because the first rounds usually see massive eliminations, I'll be lenient in allowing characters to be added. The only criterion is the character has to be a Justice League memner; honorary and reserve members are welcome, as are characters closely associated with the League whose membership is arguable (e.g. Catherine Cobert was a long-time supporting character and administrator; Lionheart guest-starred for almost a year). I used Wikipedia as a source As of now I have four realities on the list -
