Alright so voting will be open at some point today. But I want to do a quick rundown of things before it does open.

Voting is much different this time around. Last time when every act had the potential to each get 10 votes, it made the results insanely close constantly and even made a lot of obnoxious ties happen. So this new method should hopefully get rid of ties and make the results more accurate.

I'm using a website called SurveyMonkey and the way they do their surveys is basically you're only allowed 1 submission of a survey per browser per IP address. And instead of each act being given up to 10 votes, you are only given 10 votes per browser on each device. So, for example, your votes could look like 10 for Zurcaroh, or 5 for Zurcaroh and 5 for Wanda Sykes. You can mix and match however you want and each vote counts the same.

Now here's the kicker: You aren't limited to only 10 votes. That's right, if you have multiple browsers on one device, you are able to have 10 votes on EACH browser (sort of like how the old school shows allowed 10 votes per phone line). So if you wanna give 10 votes to Penn and Teller and 10 votes to 2CELLOS, you can do so on two different browsers. So if you have Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Firefox on one computer, that's 30 votes right there, plus 10 votes on a mobile device and 10 more if you have something like an iPad. So this method should shake things up and keep rankings farther apart.

And this also means that you don't have to put in your Wikia username on each voting form as the website itself only lets you submit once per browser. Since this is a new system, I'll probably leave voting up longer than I usually would for future voting periods, so keep that in mind for future semifinals.
