Greatest List with Point System

I got bored today, so decided to see how the voting results would turn out if we used a point system. I decided to use 2 points for a top 50 vote, 1 point for a top 100, and -1 point for a neither vote. I don't know if that's the best way to do it, but it made the most sense to me, since a top 50 vote is really a top 100 vote also. I then divided by the number of votes, since that wasn't equal for each poll.

This only includes artists we've voted on here, since I don't have raw numbers from the old forum. I've included those even with a negative results, just to show how they all turned out. This definitely differs from the way we've been doing it. For examples, Paris made the top 100 list Kev has been maintaining, while Too Short didn't. But here, these results show Too Short had stronger voting than Paris.

wow...definitely shows the forums biases.

I would have made neither 0 points. Both work, though

I'm not good at math so what the hell does these 1.?? numbers mean? It is all the votes added then divided to show what?

Wow three six mafia seriously got a fucking .05, that's RIDICULOUS.

The points were added then divided by the number of votes, because the number of votes wasn't equal for each poll. So it's a way to correct for the disparate number of votes.

Then it would be like they didn't vote at all. -1 makes their vote matter.

The numbers for the day 48 artists (and I'll add them in the big list):

Kurupt/Dogg Pound 0.38
K-Rino 0.3
Big L 0.2

"Then it would be like they didn't vote at all. -1 makes their vote matter."

Not true, because you're dividing the points by the number of voters. Either way, though

Yeah, I didn't think about that.

Day 49:

Del tha Funkee Homosapien 1.17
Tech N9ne 0.41
Das EFX 0.24

...and the way we've been doing votes, Das EFX makes the top 100, and Tech N9ne doesn't, when clearly Tech has the stronger voting.

Day 50:

Cee-Lo/Goodie Mob 1.11
LOX, the -0.13
Mantronix -0.43

Day 51:

Big Pun 0.82
Onyx/Stick Fingaz 0.57
Murs -0.35

Jason are you going to put all this together when were finish? I still really don't get it but whatever.

I'll keep posting the results after each day of polls, but unless we redo the voting for the ones from the previous forum, it's not gonna be complete. These the artists that would need to be voted on again, to make this complete:

Rakim
LL Cool J
Outkast
Kool G Rap
KRS-One/BDP
Run DMC
Ice Cube
NWA
Public Enemy
2Pac
Big Daddy Kane
Scarface
Nas
A Tribe Called Quest
Jay-Z
Notorious BIG
Geto Boys
Wu Tang Clan
Pete Rock and CL Smooth
Enimem
Ice-T
MC Lyte
Snoop Dogg
Slick Rick
Heavy D

Since we already voted on them before, we could do a bunch of polls a day, for a couple days, and get them out of the way quickly. That's up to you though.

As for how this works, it basically just measures the relative strength of the votes. The numbers only mean anything in relation to each other, it's just to put the artists in order. So, The Roots are #1 so far, in the artists we've voted on here, because they have the highest number.

Day 52:

Royce Da 5'9 0.13
Ras Kass -0.24
Master P/TRU -0.25
