ozfortress Voting Tools: Basic Usage

Requirements

Explanation

ozfortress runs a Nomination process in which teams nominate their own players for specific awards, and from that use the 6s-nominations.py or hl-nominations.py to collate the nominations into a text file. Non-standard characters no longer need to be filtered out manually, as the script does that by itself (thanks @refoow).

After the nominations are collated into a votes list, ozfortress distributes this to players via voting threads. Players then send their awards votes to league administrators to compile on a thread, which eventually is compiled into another readable text file, employing the same spacing between items as observed below. The vote-counter.py script is then run to compile winners for each division's awards. You may see some awards with multiple winners, which can be tie-breaked however you wish.

Format

Inputted data needs to be in the following format, spaced, and in a text file that the script can run.

Script Usage

Once a "dump" is made in a text file, you will need to run one of the following lines depending on which stage in the nominations & voting process you are at:

  • py 6s-nominations.py 6s-nominations.txt
  • py hl-nominations.py hl-nominations.txt
  • py vote-counter.py votes.txt

It's pretty simple, just Enable Developer mode on Discord, then right click a user and Copy ID. Then add that ID to the end of this link and link it.
