Hello everybody.

Today I had browsed through all the articles on this website choosing my favorite game. For now, as the size of this community is not that impressive it is probably an ok system.

First things first. I don't intend to help with the implementation of all this. But I'd really like the discussion had.

Anyway for the future I'd like to raise some issues.

1. It does not seem to me apropiate that all favorite games share the same level.  There are definitely games among my favorites that I like more than others. A neat propose I think it would be to have gold preferences scoring 4 points, silver preferences scoring 2 points and bronze preferences scoring 1 point.

2. Next, I don't think this system makes the favorites enumerating (the hearts) a valuable commodity. After a certain lowest threshold (in the 4,2,1 system according to my calculations 80 points should be fine, as I have roughly 40 games which in average should worth 2 points, with maybe a distribution of bronze hearts> silver hearts> than gold hearts, by a healthy margin), the number favorites should have a lower impact if you gave an overall score higher than the average score given by all users, and a higher impact if you gave an overall score lower than the average score given by all users. Also the impact of someone "hearting" the games should by influenced by other factors like writing recognized scientific articles on the matter, writing a popular computer program for CV, having a reasonable distribution among your bronze, silver and gold hearts, or even being an older member :)!

Hope to hear from you guys!

Good luck :)!
