ILX's Best Television of 2019 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends January 31

Unless you're making a mordant comment on the viewing-figures-based likelihood of shows getting renewed lol

Problem with changing the voting is that not everyone who sent in a ballot is going to know things have changed.

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!

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!

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

alternatively let's just do this and think about a revision next time, sorry to have been a pest

I like the limitations of the current voting.

Nah, stick with Ulysses' plan. Changing the voting after 30+ people have voted is dumb.

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.

My ballot is in! I just put in four things I really, really liked.

It’s ok LJ u just being u!

And for the record: I realize that is not the best means of scoring for future. But we’re here now!

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.

yeah, i don't think every poll needs P&J bloody tears level of point debating.

Well under the current scoring regime I found myself kicking some shows off my ballot so that I only had 10 total entries.

i also only did 4.

I didn't actually order my already submitted ballot that carefully after the initial top four, tbh, and considered only voting for four also.

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!

Only benefit to fewer picks is the under five ballot, where every vote gets fifteen.
Intent there is to encourage casuals to vote and to have a rooting interest. It appears to be working, we have ballots of all types now!

Oh damn I misread the rules then! Can I submit a revised ballot?

Just for you yes

I'm ~*special*~

Fixed!

i sent in my ballot

I don't have the sensibility to work out whether 'strategically voting' for only a top 10 will benefit my favoured shows or not. Nor do I really have the restraint to only vote for a top 10.

Voted!

Likewise!

Having just finished Giri/Haji, I regret not voting for it.

I think that’s 2020?

Also: HEY EVERYONE GET A BALLOT IN! Be part of the (televised) action!

I think that’s 2020?

FPing furiously

Oh I thought you meant “girl” not giri, not sure what you are talking about

I'ma vote, if only to distract myself from today's politics.

It's amazing how few of these shows I've seen, though there are some things I *wanted* to see but didn't get around to or didn't have access to.

messed up that the good place wasn't nominated

You’re not the first to vote for it

Anyway, last call? Any left over ballots unmailed? Let me know, otherwise I will add and tabulate and close when I am done.

I just sent you a revised ballot if not too late

I would have voted for bob's burgers too if it was on there, but I somehow doubt there are many other people clamoring for it

I didn't actually order my already submitted ballot that carefully after the initial top four, tbh, and considered only voting for four also.

indeed, yes, I posted that to mean that it would be a bad idea to change the rules / shift the goalposts after people had already submitted their ballots.

I don't think a different weighting would have a significant effect anyway.

add The Good Place to the end of mine too if you can be bothered, no wucks if not

wucks?

Same - I’d like The Good Place added to my ballot too if possible but OK if it’s not.

"no wuckin' furries"

added two 5pt votes for good place for Roz and sic and changed vinnie's ballot and am adding everything up so hang on a second...

Okay, great turnout! 53 ballots and 585 votes!

I'll be rolling out the 77 Winners (yay, we got enough where #77 got two votes at least)in about two to three weeks once we get done with the tabulation, Moka tackles images, I pull youtubes and ilx threads... and oh yeah we gotta get the ILM album poll done still. Nonetheless, I'm excited! Great job everybody!

Thread may now be used for speculation on winners!

also i looked up giri/haji and added to my netflix queue so thanks!

yeah, thanks for that, watched my first episode last night. was just missing Kelly Macdonald last week and there she is!

Yeah I didn't realize voting for the Good Place was possible! But I'm comfy with my top 4 as they are, as much as I like the Good Place (would have rated season 1 as #1 of 2016 I imagine) I'd put 2019 TGP in the group of things I'd be happy to see in the rolllout but to which I don't want to give the same points as I do to my absolute faves.

I missed voting fo this but a top 4 would be

1) Pose
2) bojack Horseman
3) The good place
4) midnight Diner (深夜食堂)

Very much colluded by my veil f this weekend, however Pose is definitely for all time.
