World Leaders Survivor Redux - Organisation Thread

[Platypus]

Just a reminder: there is no split voting in this round, it was one of a series of unusual rounds that will take place during this, the first section of World Leaders Survivor. Round Nine is a 'normal' round, and round 10 will be an unusual round because immunity will be given to the leaders with the most total votes over all rounds who have not been eliminated. After that, expect a few normal rounds again.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Just added up votes from the first eight rounds.  The leader with the largest vote total was Raul Castro of  Cuba with 30 votes who was eliminated in Round 8.

For leaders still not eliminated, here are my unofficial totals through the end of round 8.  As you can see, Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega, and Zine El Abidine Ben Ali from Groups 1, 2, and 5 have a lock on immunity for round 10 if they are not eliminated in round 9, and Silvio Berlusconi in Group 1 has lock on immunity if Chavez is eliminated in Round 9.

[big bad fab]

In Round 10, Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega, Evo Morales, Sultan Qaboos and Viktor Yushenko will be immune.

Fine for Yushenko. Why not for Qaboos and Morales. Very disappoinbting as for Ortega.
OMG, Chavez.... Next time....

[Antonio the Sixth]

I can't understand the sense of this "immunity" system.

[Gustaf]

I can't understand the sense of this "immunity" system.

I don't think it's a good idea either, but I guess it's supposed to spice things up. Anyway, it's based on a calculation as you can see above. And it's only for one round.

[Antonio the Sixth]

To protect those who got the most votes without being eliminated just makes no sense.

[minionofmidas]

To protect those who got the most votes without being eliminated just makes no sense.

Yes it does - of a sort.

What it patently is not is fair, though.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

It's no more intrusive than the immunity system the last time this was done. I like the idea anyway, it forces long-term targeters to go after someone else, and the implications could be interesting.

[Platypus]

The idea of it was to force some of these perennial high vote getters out, and if that was not done, to punish you guys for not doing it

(the idea was basically as BRTD suggested: to get people to re-examine all the people on the lists rather than automatically voting for the same person as the last 9 rounds)

I should also note that rounds 11 and 12 will be normal rounds, and rounds thirteen and fourteen will be combined (two votes, two leaders eliminated for each group)

[dead0man]

Is there a way to make this a little more complicated?  Maybe some sort of anagram algorithm?

[Associate Justice PiT]

I should also note that rounds 11 and 12 will be normal rounds, and rounds thirteen and fourteen will be combined (two votes, two leaders eliminated for each group)

     It would be difficult for Chavez & Ortega to survive that happening.

I presume the hard choice was booting Abbas?

I have broken a tie between Uribe and dos Santos, again favouring Uribe in a tiebreak, but with good reasons.

[GMantis]

I have broken a tie between Uribe and dos Santos, again favouring Uribe in a tiebreak, but with good reasons.

What reasons?

[big bad fab]

What reasons?

As the organizer-in-chief, Hughento's reasons are always good reasons.
And they may be kept secret until the end !

And they may be kept secret until the end !

And well beyond.
