For the individual tournament match-ups, should we let people vote if they're only familiar with one of the two characters?
PROS:
- Voting is more educated, both characters get an equal chance
CONS:
- A lot of people will be left out of voting altogether
- People may ignore the request and vote anyway even if they only know one of the characters
- Some of the fun is taken out
Let's say the match up is between Sebastian and Sailor Moon
There are 500 people who can vote. All 500 have seen Sailor Moon but only 50 have seen Black Butler
If we let everyone vote, then even if those 50 all prefer Sebastian, then Sailor Moon will win 450-50
If we only let the 50 who've seen both vote, then Sebastian will win 50-0 even though more people are fans of Sailor Moon
It's a tough call. What do you think?
