I'm a minnow and I can tell you, I did not have more power, though I considered powering up as I know as a dolphin I would have had.  True the power is more spread out and that made it an interesting experiment.  However, the rules weren't set, no post to say what threshold was considered "a collusive whale vote", guild votes or sock puppet voters were not taken into account, and when it came to negating the vote of one whale with 5 collusive whale accounts on the post the rules were bent and @abit went ahead and *asked* if it was ok to downvote.

The same rules did not apply to everyone.  The experiment was a failure because the perameters were not disclosed or even standards set.  The negated votes were completely random and some automated.  I will still be interested in seeing what @abit learned from it, but it was never an experiment to be taken seriously when the post that explained it was something like 2 sentences long.  Clearly, there wasn't enough thought put into it.
