review of nominations and VOTING for (very nebulously defined) ELECTRONIC DANCE TRACKS of the 00s

Yea, why not tell us what format you want them in. Most should still have ballets in their sent items.

i nominate jaymc as official results calculator, he said he'd LOVE to do it

the calculation's not so much the problem, more just getting the shit into a spreadsheet

ok so first of all i want to be able to disaggregate the data so i want to preserve the ballots in the spreadsheet

i got five columns in my spreadsheet

they go: artist, song, remixer, points, voter

my method has been to import everyone's ballot in using hyphen and parenthesis as delimiters

theo parrish - falling up (carl craig remix)

becomes

theo parrish / falling up / carl craig

the nice thing about this is that i can then just copy in the assigned points in the fourth column and copy the voters' name into the fifth column

now the problem is that people have spaced their ballots all weird

one person might do

theo parrish - falling up

and another might do

theo parrish-falling up

and a third might do

theo parrish - falling up

which go into the spreadsheet as three different things: " falling up", "falling up" and " falling up", which jacks up the column sorting scheme

seriously though if somebody wants to enter all of this shit manually, that works for me

apologies everyone, i didn't anticipate being unemployed right now

i nominate jaymc as official results calculator, he said he'd LOVE to do it

I do like tabulating stuff, but I'm pretty low-tech and math-dumb, so I'd pretty much be doing what Moka suggested.

I saved my votes and could resend my vote with these guidelines artist, song, remixer, points, voter?

Who wants to post their ballot for me to fixate over?

I'd love to resend my ballot. I have 2 crucial entries that I'd like to put in.

has this just been swept under the carpet then?

just give the dang data to someone who has offered to do it imo

someone who has offered to do it imo

no one who has offered to do it has followed up w/ a second webmail

alsoi've been

1) embarrassed to directly ask anyone

2) approaching the level of motivation i need to do it myself

3) crossing my fingers i'll get another flurry of ballots because honestly i feel like 35 voters is way less interesting than 50 voters
3)

^^ part of it is my fucked up keyboard that is missing at this point five keys

make it v difficult to do serious detail work

it just needs a push in one way or another. i almost don't like anything i've voted for anymore.

not sure what kind of push you're asking for pardner

I can't believe this is happening.

what????

nothing!!

that there's even a possibility we wouldn't get to see the results

hey man don't put that on me

if you want i'll email you all of the ballots

anyway

I'll do it. Gotta learn the Excel thing but how hard could that be?

just give it to jaymc!

or do a new deadline and another push for votes first

no, I'm not blaming anybody tbh. it's not like I can give a hand. sorry.

I can tabulate -- but as I said, it would be rudimentary. But as long as we have results, that's good, right? Would prefer to have someone else actually roll out, though.

I'd be happy to roll out as long as ppl don't mind receiving their results ~from the future~

late you have at least 5 people in here willing to do it for you.

here is my email adress motelmoka @ gmail

Send it to me and I'll have it done by wednesday.

I second giving duties to Moka (thank you).

do it.

That a yes?

I have all the evening free so I might even get it done by tomorrow if you send the ballots right now.

i don't particularly want to be the one to say this but something doesn't feel quite right here.

?

So late never sent me the ballots. Sorry peeps I tried.

i sent them just now to yr motel address

just to address what or something said, there is a long IRL hard luck story that involves unemployment, destitution, health problems etc but it's really neither here nor there

sorry to sound like a dick but there was a huge lack of dialogue. hope it was nothing serious dude.

yeah I didn't mean to come off as a dick in pressuring or anything, just wanted to help out. I've also got health problems that have led to long-term unemployment and, consequently, some form of destitution so I feel ya.

there was a serious chance of being bankrupt and/or evicted and/or murdering my "best friend" who moved in w/o telling me he had no savings w/ which to pay rent but it seems to have passed

When will these results be rolled out? Dont wish to step on anyones toes with the poll im doing and i believe theres an indie poll too

what's this indie poll?

whoa whole lotta polls will start counting.

i just read up a bit and it seems theres problems? sorry to hassle you.

gukbe i was informed there's an indie singles poll or something? i didn't know about it until i had decided to run my own poll (no its not an exclusively metal poll honest!)

Anyway i havent noticed a thread for it but i hadnt really been following ilm lately

i think there's a 90s electronic poll too? So we're last in the queue so im hoping to work out when we can start voting. Hopefully before xmas haha

Quick question:

Ranked ballots get 50 points 1st place and 1 vote 50th place, right?

I'm going to do a simple count. Only points per song and number of first place votes. Wont put the names of the voters next to each track.

Only unranked ballot is citizen smith's. What do I do about that one?

Give every song 25 points

"Ranked ballots get 50 points 1st place and 1 vote 50th place, right?"

I agree. Don't know about the others..

Only 5 ballots so far. This takes more time than I thought. Usually I start placing the numbers as the ballots get in the mail. Doing it all at once is exhausting.

I quit.

just kidding. Hopefully I'll get final results by next week. Right now the top 10 is looking pretty weird safe for the first place which I'm sure will remain there.

hi moka, can I resend my ballot?
