i think maybe people respond to deadlines, though? like if you set a new date and put it in the subject line, people will know how much time they have and work on it. i know that at least for me, personally, i'm not gonna take the time if there's a good chance that the poll is just going to randomly close at any minute before i'm ready.

are you referring to yrself? cuz so far people have not responded to deadlines, but maybe the ABBA poll was distracting people or something
― retro-shittified (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 11 June 2012 15:40 (twelve years ago) link
I mean if there's another pool of voters out there I'm fine with setting a new deadline, but if there aren't then I'm not going to bother
Is there anyone upthread who's said "I plan to vote, honest" but hasn't pulled their finger out yet?
― Biff Wellington (WmC), Monday, 11 June 2012 15:41 (twelve years ago) link
i'm speaking broadly, if you extend the deadline without updating the thread title or saying what the new deadline is, a lot of people will just assume the poll closed already or they won't have time. if you care about maximizing the # of late ballots you get at this point.
― shipl.de.al (some dude), Monday, 11 June 2012 15:42 (twelve years ago) link
yeah yeah I know, I can't update the thread title myself so I was asking if there are actually any other people who want to vote before I set a new deadline is all

(m@ttw3iner that includes yrs, but I was unable to send a confirmation e-mail for some reason)
Great. Kickback was probably bc I was emailing my ballot from my Evernote account. I just wanted to make sure my full 30 vote ballot made it in -- after all, cutting those masterpieces from High Civilization and Magnet were hard enough!

I'm not hearing much from prospective voters aside from some dude... sooooo, let's extend the deadline to this Friday, the 15th and that'll be it.
Can a mod put the deadline in the thread title plz? thx
― retro-shittified (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 11 June 2012 20:41 (twelve years ago) link
If you don't start voting soon, people, I'm going to post sequential photos of me disrobing. NOBODY WANTS TO SEE THAT, BELIEVE ME!

this makes me v sad
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 11 June 2012 22:20 (twelve years ago) link

(^^^entire movie is absolutely amazing fwiw, but that is the only Bee Gees song in it. He does do "Bridge Over Troubled Water" later tho)

Robin's song about his dog >>>>>> Macca's song about his dog

four Andy Gibb songs on my ballot! I think all were Barry co-writes
― Lee626, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 17:12 (twelve years ago) link
14 ballots in so far
― a dense custard of infinity (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 20:56 (twelve years ago) link
It will be weird if this actually gets as many ballots as Abba.
― Naive Teen Idol, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 21:30 (twelve years ago) link
It will speak well of Shakey Mo's browbeating prowess, though nobody will ever match Armond Ratfucker.

Hey, I have been beating many a brow as well!

only TWO days of voting left!!! OMG SO EXCITING
― a dense custard of infinity (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 14 June 2012 17:26 (twelve years ago) link
As it stands, is the #1 track expected or unexpected?
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 14 June 2012 17:32 (twelve years ago) link
it is a lustrous pop pearl of the highest quality, buffed and polished to perfection
― a dense custard of infinity (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 14 June 2012 17:38 (twelve years ago) link
Oh great, that could be 50 different Bee Gees songs.
I guess more people should vote so the right pearl wins!
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 14 June 2012 17:42 (twelve years ago) link
at this stage, more votes will make the lower ranks more diverse/interesting, rather than being a string of entries all separated by less than a single point. I don't expect the top 10 to change too much.
― a dense custard of infinity (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 14 June 2012 17:44 (twelve years ago) link
I'm sending in a ballot today. I just keep being introduced to new awesomeness by y'all.

Did anyone ever realize that they wrote the opening song to "Grease"?! I didn't, but listening to it now I can hear them all over it.

Damn...if I had realized, it would probably have been on mine too.
― JessFlip, Friday, 15 June 2012 17:21 (twelve years ago) link
I am hoping that more ballots will break up the number of ties in the lower ranks...
― a dense custard of infinity (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 15 June 2012 18:26 (twelve years ago) link
how many spots are on the countdown?
― bronytheus (some dude), Friday, 15 June 2012 18:27 (twelve years ago) link
my original plan was to do 50
― a dense custard of infinity (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 15 June 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link
interestingly, there is not a single song that has appeared on every ballot
― a dense custard of infinity (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 15 June 2012 18:36 (twelve years ago) link
