I've been thinking that one way to spread information about alternative voting systems might be to gamify one or more systems.Wikipedia explains gamification better than I could: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamification
wow, that says something because i would vote to delete that Wikipedia article. it's cheerleading or sales pitching. i can't learn a thing from it or from the "Funware" article.
Basically, it's a form of crowd-sourcing where you give game-like points and rewards to get masses of people to engage in large social interactions. On Facebook, for example, one could set up a ranking site to enable users to do their own version of Oscar voting, political favorites, etc, and award prizes for things we might be interested in (like criteria satisfaction). A site like FB would also have the advantage of ID-checking to limit vote-stuffing. Has anyone out there in the EM communities thought about this?
are you suggesting setting up experiments on FB where participants vote about stuff, and then apply different voting systems to it?
