How placement works. Abilities are ordered by a weighted score that starts each one near the middle of the scale and moves it as votes come in. An ability with two five-star votes will not outrank one with thirty votes averaging 4.6 — the weighting fades as real votes accumulate, so the board sharpens over time rather than swinging on the first few opinions.
