So now that the voteoff for Original Lemmings is finished, it's time to do the Oh No! More Lemmings! one.
This will follow more or less the same format as the original did.
So, in each of six rounds, levels will be divided into sets according to the rules for that round. For the most part, this is just a matter of all levels within a round being rolled together, but a set may be re-rolled (together with the next set; and more if the problem persists after a few re-rolls) in the following cases:
* If the set does not contain levels from at least three difficulty ranks
* If 70% or more of the set comes from the same rank (rounded down)
* If the set contains more than three consecutive levels
In the fourth round, a set will be re-rolled if it does not contain levels from at least two difficulty ranks.
Obviously, these rules can be ignored if another result isn't possible. EG: If only Havoc levels make it to the 4th round, then of course the two difficulty ranks rule will be ignored.
Each round has a limit on the number of levels that qualify to proceed to the next round. However, this limit may be exceeded in certain situations, depending on the results. Here's how the "limit" and the results combine to determine the qualifying levels:
1) All levels in first place qualify, no matter what.
2) If the limit has not been reached, all levels in second place qualify, no matter what.
3) If the limit has not been reached, then 3rd, 4th and so on are considered, but *only* if (a) including them won't cause the limit to be exceeded, and (b) they have at least one vote (first round) or half as many votes as the first place levels (any other round).
There are two important changes I'm going to make here compared to the Orig one:
1) No discussion of any levels in the currently-being-voted set (or the set itself, beyond vague comments like "this is a hard decision") is allowed within the topic. You are free to discuss previous sets/rounds, though, apart from comments relating to the levels that are in the current set/round too. You're also free to discuss them elsewhere on the boards (or outside the boards altogether); just not in this topic.
2) Since this can now be edited/reset on the new board, I'll use the board's Poll Expiry option to determine the round's ending time. So, each set's voting will last for 2 days from when it's put up, except Round 6 which I will set to 3 days.
Round Breakdown
In all cases, when the sets cannot be divided equally, the remainder levels are added to the earlier rounds. EG: If a round says "divided into three equal sets" and there are 17 levels, the first two sets will have 6 levels each and the third set will have 5 levels. Likewise, if a round says "divided into sets of 5 levels" and there are 21 levels, the first set will get 6 levels. This does not affect the qualifying levels limit or the number of votes unless the round specifically states otherwise.
Round 1
Levels are broken into sets of 10 levels each. Three votes are allowed per user. Qualifying levels limit is 5.
Round 2
Levels are broken into sets of 5 levels each. Two votes are allowed per user. Qualifying levels limit is 3.
Round 3
Levels are broken into sets of 4 levels each. Two votes are allowed per user. Qualifying levels limit is 2.
Round 4
Levels are broken into three sets. Two votes are allowed per user. Qualifying levels limit is 2.
Round 5
Levels are in a single set. Two votes are allowed per user. Qualifying levels limit is 2.
Round 6
Levels are in a single set. One vote is allowed per user. This round determines the winner.
