Carry-Over Sizes

Added 2023-06-03 08:09:01 +0000 UTC

Following from my last post, I'd like to get your opinion on how you'd prefer that we handle the size carried over from the previous match.

As a reminder, my formula for growth to tally up the Votes then multiplying it exponentially by the Doubles, ie. Votes * 2 ^ (Doubles)

In the higher tiers, votes will simply be worth more (going from milimeters to kilometers, etc.).

My original plan was the simplest possible: Add the Previous Size as a flat addition to the new result, ie. Previous Size + New Size

As mentioned, for some EXTRA large waifus, unless that round grows them a TON they might not get appreciatively bigger at all, since they first have to catch up. On the other hand, it might be the fairest, because it doesn't change the calculation any more.

The other thought I had was to instead accumulate both Votes and Doubles and carry them over. (Previous Votes + New Votes) * 2 ^ (Previous Doubles + New Doubles)

In this way, votes are still meaningful, but since doubles accumulate the waifus that are ahead of the pack get even more so, so it's arguably less fair.

A third option would be to carry over only donations, but that feels like a weird middle way.

After the latest discussion I'm currently leaning towards Additive again, but let me know what you think!

PS: Sorry to keep posting about this, but I'm a NUMBERS person and I want to do it right! :v

PPS: I remade the poll to make the math more clear.
