Subject: November SOTM Voting Thread: Results Posted

Written By: Red Ant on 12/08/06 at 7:36 pm

Note to new participants: Welcome, and good luck. Please read all guidelines carefully. Especially, please make sure to read all the entries and vote by the end of the month. The SOTM is not so much a contest as a feedback exchange. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, either in this thread or via personal message. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

~~Vote by replying to this thread with your five favorites in order:
1st choice- 5 points
2nd place- 4 points
3rd place- 3 points
4th place- 2 points
5th place- 1 point.

~~You're not allowed to vote for your own song.

~~Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it.

~~Voting continues until the last day of the month ends.

~~Anyone who's participated in a SOTM contest may vote.

~~By entering, you are agreeing to read and comment on all the other entries and vote.

~~Anyone who enters but does not both comment on all entries and vote by the end of the month is disqualified and may not participate next month.

~~In the event of a tie, the parody with the most first place votes wins.
If it's still tied, the parody with the most second place votes wins.
If it's still tied, a brief playoff round will be held.
All participants will have the first week of the month to choose one favorite from among the tied entries.
Tiebreaker voting is strongly encouraged but not required. On the eighth day the one with the most votes win.

And the 18 entrants are...

Written By: Red Ant on 12/30/06 at 8:05 pm

Like Stu, I am not entirely happy with having to cut several deserving parodies from my votes. I'm even more dismayed that I couldn't place these final five in a clear-cut 1st, 2nd, and so on. Though these parody picks are very different in content, style, and OS choice, they all were in serious contention for my five points.  Enough rambling already...

5 points to #17: Make It Stop by Scathe
4 points to #16: Black Tracks In White Places by Tim Mayfield
3 points to #12: Internet Poultry Auction by Kristof Robertson

Congratulations to Kristof and Stu for their outstanding entries, and also to Cat and Tim for their near-podium finishes

One DQ to report: Scathe did not vote in time, so he forfeits his 11 points and is ineligible to participate in December SOTM.

Happy New Years to all, and the December Entry thread will be up later today.

Hi everybody!  Congratulations to Kristof, Red Ant, and Stu.  I was here to post the winners in the SOTM winners thread like I always do eventually, but I'm having some trouble with my new browser (it won't let me cut and paste from the address bar for some reason).  I'll have time to figure it out tonight but right now I'm pretty busy so I just wanted to let you all know I haven't forgotten about it.  All right, gotta go; congrats again and happy new year all

Well, gee! Thanks everybody....what a great New Years present! I'm chuffed with all the support my Ode de Poulet got. There were lots of comments mentioning "double-entendre"; what's that then? :D Congrats to The Antman and Lord McArthur: two finer gentleman parodists you're unlikely to meet. I'm off to take some paracetemol for the hangover I've still got from welcoming in 2007..... http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/02/beerchug.gif

I'd like to thank everyone who voted for my parody (and even those who didn't  :D). November was an awful month for me output-wise, and to have finished second amongst so many great works is a nice way to start off the new year.

Congratulations to Overlord Kristof (the guy is inescapable I tell ya!) and to Stu "Paparazzi" McArthur.

Kristof: Gentlemen? I thought you knew me better than that by now!  ;)

Note to self: Do not drink champagne again. Ever. Champagne is apparently French for "bad hangover."

I have very limited internet access at the moment (on holidays) but I'm thrilled to have gotten a third amongst this month's quality entries.  I also note the fast finishing of Cat and Tim who just eventually ran out of last-minute voters- bad luck guys

congrats to the mighty Kristof and the mighty Jack :)

Stu, surely you are mistaken... I have never gotten more points than I did this SOTM. I think that is good luck.  :D

And sorry to Cat that I didn't vote for her parody and launch her into third (or second) place!  :-[

Phil, you definitely earned that point! and if I had rolled the dice with my other hand you may have had a higher point score, but alas...

Congrats to Kristof, Red and Stu. Well done you all. Happy New Year  :) Sadly, there's a nice stomach flu travelling throughout my house, so I've been sick  :P But it's been quite excellent to have so many people find something to enjoy about my 'inside-joke' entry this month. Thanks guys and gals.
