Each entrant must vote within the allotted timeframe or be liable to the sanction of not voting in the following "XX" number of contests.

To vote, each entrant must choose three different songs and allocate the following points score:

1st place - 3 points
2nd place - 2 points
3rd place - 1 point

By definition the most votes a song can be allocated by a voter is three points.

Tie-break rule again: in the event that the number of votes is tied, it'll be a draw - we'll have two winners and a third place (or whatever).

All votes must be in by end of play Sunday week, that is 19th December

PS.. the above list was generated automatically by entering the URLs, and took about the same length of time to write as going through and extracting the text from 21 separate web pages.  Please check your song is there in case I missed any; also, if any competition-runners are interested, drop me a line.  I may do something to count votes, too, but Excel seems to work pretty well for now.

Merry & Pippin have been listed twice, Phil.

Well, two halflings does equal one ling.  ;D

Groan!

Anyway, that's fixed - I didn't spot that Merry and Pippin *both* submitted their entry (fortunately, I guess, it was the same one ;))  I'll put a check in my code for that, just in case it happens again...

No, I didn't have a glitch.. and I'm sorry for the aspersion cast on your good self, Merry: Pippin submitted it twice ;)  But I've written in the duplicate check anyway.

Must admit this was a strong and even round, but it didn't have any that really slew me as in some previous rounds.  But it did make coming to a decision very hard...

2 points: #20 "Will they still bug me tomorrow" by Scathe

...It'll be Weds at the earliest before I can tally the results: if anyone else wants to do it in the meantime, please feel free.

Just remembered I have get my vote in today...why didn't I do this earlier?  (That's a rhetorical question, I KNOW the answer to that, thank you...)...anyway, it should be fun and I have left myself enough reading time to actually be able to enjoy the works...of course I'll have to blow off the housework I planned to do this afternoon...damn, I was SO looking forward to doing that...

pr

Oh, man - I've NEVER seen such a fine array of entries in this contest...All of them, even the DKTOS ones, were very well done and entertaining to me...That said, here are my votes for the "W" round:

1st place:  #13 Jeff Reuben - "We're Lost"
2nd place: # 9  Kristof Robertson - "Wooden Kid Gets Spliced"
3rd place:  # 4 Steve Cavanaugh - "We Are The Borg"

I was going to start mentioning some of the other's that I considered for the top 3 spots but the list is pretty long.  Again, everything in this round was very, very good...

Oops  can I still vote .?..just misssed the deadline.....


my votes are :

Philbo    #7    3 points
Adagio  #8    2 points
Claude  # 17 1 pont



as the others have said ... terrific round .... very hard to choose...

  Are we going to get to the "x" letter songs?  ???

  Are we going to get to the "x" letter songs?   ???


Good question, Adagio ... I've got an "X" (and I do NOT mean "X-Rated"...well, not this time, at least   ;) )  song all queued-up & ready-to-go.

Sorry, have had just about enough time to post the occasional reply... normal service will be resumed in the new year, unless someone else wants to pick up the baton.

Thanks, Phil.  I saw your words and was going to make a joke out of it, but I understand and will lay off.  ::) Whenever, no rush.

What Adagio said, Philbo - no hurry, take all the time you want/need.  I'm grateful for everything you've done managing these contests.  Since I'm on parody sabbatical, I'm certainly in no rush, especially since so much else is calling for my time and attention these days.  Happy New Year!  :) :D ;D

Phil, Thanks for running so many of these...I was going to try and manufacture an "X" song but just haven't had the time lately...maybe I still will since the letter contest appears to be on brief (an well-deserved hiatus)...well, got to run...Happy New Year, all!!

Oops can I still vote .?..just misssed the deadline.....


my votes are :

Philbo #7 3 points
Adagio #8 2 points
Claude # 17 1 pont

Well, you do pose a problem, Martha... voting late, then giving three points to me ;)

I've included it, though, 'cause it makes no difference to me... it does, however promote Claude from joint third on 13 points to joint second on 14.

The final tallies are in:

In a very close-fought round, first place, with a total of 16 points, goes to:
* Steven Cavanagh's "We are the Borg"

Just two points behind, with 14:
* Jeff Reuben- "We're Lost"
* Claude Prez- "Wal-Mart"

And one point behind them (which I thought would be cruel to exclude based on a late vote) in "third":
* Kristof- "Wooden kid gets spliced"

Well done, everyone :)

Congratulations Steven, Jeff, Claude, and Kristof!
