VF10: public vote

Mon Oct 27, 2008 7:49 pm

Want one ? :-k

If so I might see if I can rustle up a prize for the winner of that version of the result too. If I'd had thought about it earlier I might have conjured up something for the voters too but.... hey, you want some freebie actually slap a video together, m'kay ? :P

Who could vote? - If i get my sister, father, mother, wife, kids, nephews..... friends...... to vote for me, I might have a reasonable chance of not coming...'furthest from first place'!:lol:

Yan :D

Any non-competitor. I would, of course, exercise Admin. Control over any obviously stupid numbers (he flew a French kite - no points, etc.) but.... a big risk ?

Why the Nays? As I understand it it's like a second unoffical ballot?

Errr... yeah. This would be a totally separate vote, if that wasn't clear. Real, actual, true VF finishing order is decided solely by those who take part.

Sorry if that was misunderstood. :oops:

This would be quite interesting, but can it be kept secret until the real results are announced?

Sorry, I misunderstood the post #-o . Having read it again, it is clear.

So, that'll be a 'yes' from me.

Nope,
should be judged only by the participants.
IMHO it doesn't add anything to this very nice competition format.

I've thought about this some more over a couple rounds of bacon sandwiches and would like to change my mind, It's quit handy that I didn't actually vote earlier.
I think there would be too much room for abuse.

I would, if it went ahead, remove anything that I thought was a "spoilt ballot". IIRC a previous public vote received a few responses that didn't add anything to the process so I would politely reject those.

It'd be secret, as with the main, real scoring and announced at the same time.

Still no, huh ? :?

I say yes with the hope that it might pull a few off the sidelines and into the next round.
