Fixed Ash's comments. Thanks for mentioning them.
I have to say, it's been a real roller-coaster of a day, especially for the K-On! girls, who are now all towards the bottom of the rankings. A few days from now, I'll analyze the data to figure out what's going on are the votes coming from one person or a bunch of people.
I think the k-constant is too high - I have it at 32, which means that if a high-ranked character is defeated by a low-ranked one, the characters exchange 32 points. 32 is appropriate if ratings are infrequent - but they're not. (6000+ votes already.)
I think it might make sense to have it so that a character appears at most once per day per person. Right now, a person can rank each character once for each possible opponent - so a single person can cause quite a bit of mayhem.
I had originally expected people to come in, give a couple of votes, and then leave to come back another day - that's not what's happening, I think.
