Thread for coordinating the order and timing of ILM ballot polls

Thanks for adding me WmC!

Any approx idea when I the KB poll will commence? September?

Pls slot Madonna in for No. 4

Please can Aphex Twin go in at No. 8 because after his last interview, we know he's just dying to be underneath Kate Bush. FnarGiggleSnort.

Ha! Can we read that somewhere?

Dunno really, we'll have a better idea after the first couple have come and gone. My guess would be the 2nd half of August, but that's a very rough guess.

Shit, I revived a thread for ya, LBI but turns out it's on ILE:

I dreamed of kate bush

yay, thanks WmC! That seems much less stressful for me. :)

ty Kate :-)

yep up for that

My own inclination for Zep was to allow 3 days for voting and 2 days for the reveal. Billy's 10-day vote window for PSB seems too long, but is my time frame too short?

You suggested 3 days right? I think that's too short. Needs to be a week, I think.

I was originally going to go for a week, but that would mean finishing on a Thursday/Friday and I didn't want to roll out the results over the weekend, hence my extending it a few days. I agree with LBI I think 3 days is too short.

Yeah, I'm coming around on that, 3 days is too short. Agreed on the weekday reveal as well. Obv everybody will wing it as needed for each ballot.

maybe it should be up to the person in charge of the poll...people have different schedules...but 1 week max?

I'm happy w/ how organized this ended up

imo long voting period (although more than a week isn't necessary) and brief reveal period is the way to go

^ Ignore this dude and his quest to rid the world of the unnecessary

eh if we're gonna do these i do think there are better and worse ways to execute them

id like to see a sonic youth poll like this

Sign up for #11!

okay someone put me down for a "Producers" poll. I might need some help with this lol

yeah can we make sure the non-artist polls stick to this too?

left it in quotes 'cause it'll mean different things to different voters obv

at this pace, it'll be a late summer thing

iatee, you mean like label polls/ballots?

yeah

My work schedule peaked last night for a few weeks; if anybody in #2-4 wants more time, I can trade with them, but no problem staying at #5 either.

Can I just say somethin... Beatles poll really needs some other kind of element to it in order for it to not be hugely boring. Why not include all solo & collaborative material? like if you wanted to you could vote for "Handle With Care." that kind of thing.

Or like "Badge."

Yes, I'm Your Angel?

I'd be interested in a solo Beatles poll more than a Beatles poll, which feels like it's been done to death.

solo would be pretty interesting...

totally

I'd prefer Beatles and solo-Beatles be separate, but whatever's cool.

Has this order been changed, and if so could a mod please let me know? If not could a mod please take a look at the rogue Madonna poll?

I'm on an iPhone so I can't make a thread but could a mod please delete or lock this thread as it's out of order and is likely to spoil the real Madonna poll when we do it?

Madonna Tracks Poll

Thanks.

If no one's going to enforce this, why bother doing it?

Forget it, I wash my hands of this.

KDT, would you PLEASE let people assess the situation before you go off!?

don't let the bastards grind you down Karen! mods need to step up tho. i've done what I can (sb)

Yeah, I very nearly sb'ed, which I have never done.

ah you changed your name but you are still so very Masonic Boom. FITE!

NO FITE

I'm not fighting, I'm just amused by the 'will you give us three minutes to react' post upthread.

o so apparently this is the thread where a handful of aspie rubes unilaterally decided what polls are (beatles - exciting!) and aren't (madonna - a girl!) allowed on ilx and ASSUMED that the rest of ilx (the ones w/ jobs, lives, etc) would know/care/heed what the handful decided. what a fucking wasteland. bye ilx!

bye

Who's going to do the Madonna poll now?

30 minutes is not 3 minutes, BTW and it would be really great if you could for once just keep the "OMG Masonic Boom!" jeering out of yet another thread.

The Madonna poll is after the Prince one.

The idea of scheduling was so we're not all doing polls at the same time.

Also, that the person having put their name against an artist is sort of comitting themselves to the work involved.

I know you know this, so hey.

i for one will miss having balls
