[SoiBiker]

Still the rise of the null continues.

Have the others got your goat? Then vote NULL VOTE!

Is the null contingent being organized to act as a block? That's the subtext here.

[SoiBiker]

Can you organize nothing?

[Jingthing]

Can you organize nothing?

Nullies are people too.

Let the Einstein's work out the percentage.

That's the problem here isn't it? This hasn't really set the forum on fire.

If more users had been interested, it wouldn't have been dominated by Nancy's following, and what I'm going to politely call a special interest group from elsewhere on the internet.

The elite?

I guess that explains why POTY isn't sponsored by Chang Beer.

I think it demonstrates overwhelmingly that 159,829 aren't interested in who is voted POTY

WHY NOT?

[Jingthing]

Start a poll. Only way.

[SoiBiker]

How many people voted last time?

[uptheos]

Start a poll. Only way.

What you mean after we have a POTY have a poll asking people why they didn't vote for a POTY?

[Jingthing]

Go ahead. I ain't doing it. It has never been more than a tiny percentage of the membership. Ever.

Also you can't directly compare year to year. The structure has been different year to year. Typically running the same poll for weeks and just cutting people out. This last poll here is less than a week as it reset at zero.

As Soi Biker asked how many voted last year?

[Jingthing]

I think more as a raw number but I already explained why. This current poll is less than a week and that one was running for numerous weeks. Duh. In any case always a tiny percentage of the membership.

If you have a brilliant plan on how to get 10 percent of members to vote, great. Not sure this is the right thread for that though. We're in the middle of THIS YEAR'S event.

I think before the next one we need to have some practice runs, to really go over things and make sure we have the details worked out and we're prepared and know what we're doing.

Yes. We need POTY training.

Yes. We need POTY training.

No matter what you decide, no matter how brilliant it seems, a large number of people won't like it, and some won't like it in an ACTIVE way.

[Jingthing]

Which reminds me. I think there might be a case for promoting THIS years contest to get a last wave of votes. Hmmm. I can't think of how except to put announcements in other subforums and I think that would be frowned upon. So never mind. It is what it is.

Edited December 28, 2015 by Jingthing

[SoiBiker]

Maybe ask the mods to make it a sticky?

[Jingthing]

Who reads stickies? I don't. This gets bumped all the time. If it was promoted by the forum, which it isn't, they could do some kind of graphic. But that's not gonna happen.

A bit of fun. Over soon. Thank God!

Being poll lord isn't much fun?

As they say "be sure of what you wish for".

Nobody believes me but I didn't wish it. I saw it wasn't happening this year and I stepped in. Others may claim it was happening, but it wasn't. People just wanted to kvetch and argue endlessly about every little detail, and nobody had the balls to say I will own running it to completion, set the structure, make the schedules. Also I didn't see a clean way to cut it down to a top 20 but Canuckamuck did that part ... basically the same thing, he had the balls to just do it. Canuckamuck could have done this to the finish in his own way, but he didn't seem to want to and nobody else did either. It's not the glorious blessing you might imagine.

I don't think anyone else thought it needed quite so much in the way of structure or schedules.
