I'm going to sound monumentally stupid here, but I didn't follow what you mean. Can you please re-explain it step by step? With bullet points? And single syllables? :P
I guess it would have helped if I hung around the Comics And Culture baord...
You gat 16 people to sign up.
You start put their names in a random order where they start choosing the best arcs, not choosing any duplicates. See here for an example
Each person gets 4 picks, ending with 64 total arcs.
In a new voting thread, the arcs get paired off and people vote for each pair - like a single elimination tournament.
Eventually, you end up with a single winner.
I don't see it working too well. It's unimaginable to believe people will have time to play most the arcs to be able to vote on each pairing.

Ah, I see now - thanks for clarifying that for me. |

I think Ozzie may have a point there. It might be best to let this be a looong open-ended "contest" which goes something like
"This pairing: Clave Dark 5's "Beat Guys Up" vs. BubbaWheat's "Guys Get Beat Up". You have two weeks to vote, which ever arc gets the most wins." No need for everyone playing to vote that way, just whoever participates that two week period. But I don't know what you'd do for a tie. After that, then the next two get paired up for another two weeks.
I can see this has draw backs though, namely that it would take forever to finish.
The only reason that this works in the other forum is that the picks are usually things that everyone is already fairly familiar with, or in the babes case the choice is made just by looking at some pictures anyway.
I see these in the Comic and Culture section a lot. People sign up, the list gets randomized, then they go through and make their picks on what they think fits the topic the best (in this case, pick the best arcs). Afterwards, the picks are paired up and everyone votes on each pair until we get to a winner. Would anyone be interested in doing one of these for AE arcs? (Do we have 16 people that would be willing to participate?)
