Just assume I had given 700 points to a single task. No one voting honestly could have pushed this point out of the first position. We should ignore anyone that is voting strategically, since they clearly violate the instructions. However when I've used this process in the past such "extreme" allocations tend to be averaged out quickly. These are supposed to be ordinal estimates, anything other than using mean to combine them will make the result no-longer ordinal which will invalidate their use as a "value" estimate. If you had asked instead of questioning my motives I would have explained that. Do you want Freenet to be known as the project which fails at even basic and what cannot, using the poll to support decisions is a mere fraud. Now that you've accused me of fraud you've just confirmed to everyone reading that your motives here are malicious. You've been doing everything you can to poison this process almost from the beginning. Fortunately we're all free to ignore you and that is what I recommend everyone does. I suggest that Xor proceed with the plan that was laid out months ago. We'll deal with issues with malicious voting if they arise. Ian.
