Title: The Dominion Cards Lists 2018 Edition: List Orders list
Post by: GendoIkari on February 21, 2019, 03:43:42 pm
#8 Editing an already-posted list because you didn't read through your mod reports closely.

Self-explanatory really. Not recommended.



#7 Reposting an already-posted list to put it into a different order that you prefer.

Clearly the worst way to do a best cards list.  No one should ever do this.



#6 Listing all cards in a completely random order, all within one post.

Although it has the advantage of not (usually) immediately spoiling either the best or the worst card for people reading the list, it makes it really difficult to compare cards for the purposes of discussion.



#5 Posting the cards all within one thread, but broken into several posts, with the best card first.

Having all cards in the same thread make it harder to load that thread; especially from a mobile device. It also makes it harder to follow discussions about a specific card. On the other hand, it makes it so that you can see all the discussion at once without opening multiple threads.



#4 Posting the cards all within one thread, but broken into several posts, with the worst card first.

Has all the same advantages and disadvantages of the all-one-thread system of #4, but has the advantage of being a "countdown" style, building up to the best card.



#3 A separate thread for each partial list (limited to 50 cards or so), ordered from worst card to best card, posted so that the best cards list comes out first.

Once the entire list is out, this is indistinguishable from the #1 way. But it's not a good user experience in the meantime; the order of the lists themselves is inconsistent with the order of the cards in the list.



#2 A separate thread for each partial list (limited to 50 cards or so), ordered from best card to worst card, posted so that the best cards list comes out first.

Similar to the #3 way, but has the advantage of being consistent with itself.



#1 A separate thread for each partial list (limited to 50 cards or so), ordered from worst card to best card, posted so that the best cards list comes out last.

This is the way the majority of The Dominion Cards Lists have worked. Some people voted it last, but many people voted it first.





Sorry, couldn't resist.

I would have liked more talk about statistics. How many votes were there on this list?

This list is so wrong.  Two #3s, and those lines between numbers ruins everything.

I have no idea how I did that lol. I thought I only had 6 things in the list. Fixed.

Perfect.  You have pleased the masses.   Carry on.

#8 should be doing a list order list, with the arguments being there were 2 #3s and that needed to be editted, #4 references itself in its description, no one voted for it (or voting was private), and it's missing list #8. I expect it to rise to #7, however, when people realize that reposting lists is worse than this, which should be soon-ish.

Reposting an already-posted list to put it into a different order that you prefer. was one of the strongest list orders in the new expansion, it will probably gain ranks when people have had more chances to get accustomed to it.

I don't know why posting them in a random order wasn't at the very bottom. It's too luck-dependent to be useful for anything.

Well based on the astounding quality of this list I would suggest that GendoIkari should write half the  card lists for next year.

werothegreat's and faust's enthusiasm about what lists should look like indicates to me that they would be excellent candidates for splitting the other half.

#1 is wrong; they were always the same thread until Qvist stopped doing the write ups.

Actually, in terms of too many images, I feel like it would probably be best to put the actual cards in separate, locked, threads, and then have one single thread for discussion (for each cost).

The ideal order is the order you rated the cards yourself. Then you don't need to say "this card should go up" or whatever; it's right there in the order.
