For each MegaMinerAI, we can easily do a fair ballot.
To do so, first go to the SIG-Game Google Drive, and open the Google Form at SIG-Game Archive/General/MegaMinerAI ## Game Poll
Make a copy of that to SIG-Game Archive/## - GAME_NAME/Polls/MegaMinerAI ## Game Poll, where you replace ## and GAME_NAME with the number and game name respectively.
Make sure to change all the games in there from GAME_# to their name, and update the github links to the game ideas.
For the bottom section you'll need to ensure there is a number for every game, so if you had games:
[ Chess, Checkers, Go, Warcraft, Statecraft, Civ ]
you'd need the numbers
[ 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th ]
and so on.
Then send out the ballot. Google Forms thankfully randomizes the order for fairness. For the game links I recommend alphabetical order.
Once they are in export the results to a google spreadsheet. Then open that spreadsheet in google docs.
Once in the spreadsheet, click File -> Download As -> CSV
Now with that file overwrite the data.csv file alongside this file. You'll notice the game-voter.py script in this repo. It will read in that data.csv file, and output a string you can use to get the results.
Run the script via python3 game-voter.py and paste the output to http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~legrand/rbvote/calc.html
Then click "Calculate all winners", and see who won! It will use a variety of algorithms, and there should be a clear winner. If there is not, let the leads decide.
