Admin,

just my Twopence-hapini,

this system introduces the human factor. Isn't there already a fail-safe system of knowing which articles are popular? I mean number of comments and number of hits? These could then be shortlisted for Villagers to vote.

Shortlisting by nomination means I would nominate my friend's article and call up all of our clique to do the same. Conversely, I would shun my perceived opponents article and get my guys to do the same.

Just my guinea's worth.

The Count
