A'ight, sent my ballot after I sorted out the technical intricacies of having compiled my ballot upon a work computer that doesn't allow me to access my personal email. I feel like MacGyver now. Like the MacGyver of emailing things.

Will definitely put in a ballot tonight. If I can possibly binge another season or 2 before then, I will.

Watched the first four episodes of Terrace House 2019-2020 since sending my ballot and I'm already pretty sure I'll regret not including it

Dan Worsley, thank you for nominating Yorkshire Walks! Just caught it this week, it's slow zen tv right up my alley.
Ballot sent!

30 ballots and 353 votes! Can we do 40 ballots? Get me your list of favorites; all we need is a minimum of 4 up to a maximum of 25 and then you'll have a fighting chance for your faves!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 14:09 (four years ago) link
Good news!
Worth a last minute promotion drive in the Netflix or other TV threads?
― groovypanda, Friday, 31 January 2020 14:28 (four years ago) link
I might have thought of doing that, yes.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 14:31 (four years ago) link
I feel like I watch a pretty healthy amount of TV yet I think I only saw the entire 2019 season of 12 shows apparently (voted for 10). I think I'll let the poll results guide my viewing in the immediate future (starting I imagine with Fleabag, which I haven't seen).
might ask my wife to do a list too, she watches way more than I do (while I'm watching sports). I bet she's gotten through at least 30-40 of these.

"I think I'll let the poll results guide my viewing"my hope is that's what this poll is good for but to do that it needs a broad base of entries, so get in whatever you got so we can see what everybody's recommending!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 14:44 (four years ago) link
Most of the 2019 shows I have seen are frankly unworthy of nominations or votes but they make for solid ambient accompaniment to making dinner and paying bills and what have you.
― Dr. Teeth and the Women (Old Lunch), Friday, 31 January 2020 14:47 (four years ago) link
most of us eat dinner and pay bills too!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 14:48 (four years ago) link
reminded I need to finish this season of Mindhunter, I really dig that show so I'm not sure why I haven't yet seen it through to the end.

Lol. Just seen my bookmarks

lol
i kinda feel like i haven't seen enough to do this. there are many shows on the list that i feel like i would love that i just haven't gotten around to (the oa bc i love hot incoherent messes, steven universe which i've seen some but not all of, joe pera talks to you, letterkenny, tuca and bertie). i'd be a prominent voter for the most recent season of are you the one though, greatest season of reality tv i've ever seen
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 31 January 2020 15:32 (four years ago) link
PEN15! PEN15!
― 🚶♂️💨 (Eric H.), Friday, 31 January 2020 15:46 (four years ago) link
i also need to see that show
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 31 January 2020 15:51 (four years ago) link
i arranged the 15 shows i voted for into a tier of 1-10 and 11-15 to align with the point tiers above, but then i was thinking that if i could choose, i would give 10 points to my top 5, which were the shows i really enjoyed above and beyond everything else, and 5 points to my bottom 10, which were shows i enjoyed but didn't reach that peak. but i understand that letting everyone assign their own points is too complicated. just being honest about what i loved vs. what i liked
also i know it came out like three years ago but i think i should still be able to vote for twin peaks the return
― na (NA), Friday, 31 January 2020 16:07 (four years ago) link
I sent a ballot. I would have given Russian Doll the bulk of my points had that been an option.
It's a shame Emmerdale wasn't nominated!
― Good taste, bit Victorian but who isn't? (jed_), Friday, 31 January 2020 16:08 (four years ago) link
Modest proposal: same points as before except on all ballots,
#4 = 15 points#3 = 20 points #2 = 25 points #1 = 30 points
I want my very favourite stuff to get an outsize share of the points and stand a better chance, and I think others would agree. As I say, your call, and thanks for running this
― opden gnash (imago), Friday, 31 January 2020 17:10 (four years ago) link
I'll likely adjust different point scoring for future polls but let's chalk scoring issues up this go round to first time polling. I've already got a tabulation system in place and people voted based on it so i don't want the hassle/work/madness of revising it midstream.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 17:18 (four years ago) link
Also: we are getting several ballots with only three or four picks which means there's some strategic options if you really want to stress the stuff you love!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 17:19 (four years ago) link
Solution: close the voting tonight as planned. Then announce that every voter has 3 or 4 days to affirm their ordered top 4 by email. Then add 5 points to 4s, 10 to 3s, 15 to 2s and 20 to 1s. I don't want my #1 and #10 to get the same number of points, and my only 'strategic option' is to only vote for 4 things! Which all get the same points as each other anyway! Sorry to be difficult but this would be way better (and less of a dull Netflix procession) with more tiering.
― opden gnash (imago), Friday, 31 January 2020 17:50 (four years ago) link
Unless you're making a mordant comment on the viewing-figures-based likelihood of shows getting renewed lol
― opden gnash (imago), Friday, 31 January 2020 17:52 (four years ago) link
Problem with changing the voting is that not everyone who sent in a ballot is going to know things have changed.
― Charlotte Brontesaurus (Leee), Friday, 31 January 2020 17:53 (four years ago) link
imago: sorry, it's not changing this year. It'll be okay! There will still be lots to explore and argue about even if the final tabulation doesn't meticulously reflect everyone's very specific enthusiasms to the proper decimal point.Plus: Moka images! How can you not be happy with Moka images!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 17:54 (four years ago) link
Also forks if you aren't too busy tabulating results I could really use your help painting my house. And by help I mean basically that I need you to just be a dear and do it for me. I'll be out of town for the weekend, hope you can finish by the time I'm back!
― Dr. Teeth and the Women (Old Lunch), Friday, 31 January 2020 17:55 (four years ago) link
obviously I feel like an asshole being like this but...a straight 25 points -> 1 point system would have been the way to go. send me the results and I'll tabulate them all lol
― opden gnash (imago), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:07 (four years ago) link
alternatively let's just do this and think about a revision next time, sorry to have been a pest
― opden gnash (imago), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:09 (four years ago) link
I like the limitations of the current voting.
― Yerac, Friday, 31 January 2020 18:10 (four years ago) link
Nah, stick with Ulysses' plan. Changing the voting after 30+ people have voted is dumb.
― Dan Worsley, Friday, 31 January 2020 18:10 (four years ago) link
Just a thought, but the time to issue concerns about the methods of tabulation would've maybe been any day prior to the voting deadline. Again, just a thought.
― Dr. Teeth and the Women (Old Lunch), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:14 (four years ago) link
My ballot is in! I just put in four things I really, really liked.

― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:34 (four years ago) link
And for the record: I realize that is not the best means of scoring for future. But we’re here now!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:41 (four years ago) link
I am fine with different scoring for different polls, let a hundred flowers bloom! In a way, this scoring system forced me to put down four things I really liked and skip six which I like a lot but which lots of other people also like and maybe this helps reward individual enthusiasms, I dunno.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:43 (four years ago) link
yeah, i don't think every poll needs P&J bloody tears level of point debating.
― Yerac, Friday, 31 January 2020 18:44 (four years ago) link
Well under the current scoring regime I found myself kicking some shows off my ballot so that I only had 10 total entries.
― Charlotte Brontesaurus (Leee), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:47 (four years ago) link
i also only did 4.
― Yerac, Friday, 31 January 2020 18:56 (four years ago) link
I didn't actually order my already submitted ballot that carefully after the initial top four, tbh, and considered only voting for four also.
― Good taste, bit Victorian but who isn't? (jed_), Friday, 31 January 2020 19:17 (four years ago) link
No reason to kick things off just to have ten! Any picks between eleven and twenty get five points and doesn’t penalize your first ten at all!
