wow - here's a problem that I totally expected and dreaded :(

I can't make a snap decision on this one - which doesn't mean I don't believe you Mike, because I do (I don't think you'd bother, if it weren't true) - it's just that it affects so many others

I'm inclined to recalculate the U-vote to include your votes (and naturally overturn your  disqualification) - but only after the people it negatively affects (ie Red Ant) gets to read of this little dilemma

for the record, as these are such unusual circumstances, it's my view that no compromising precedent would be set by allowing your votes to stand under these unusual circumstances 

if no contrary opinion is posted in the next 12 hours, I'll redo the voting

- stu

PS:  of course, if anyone can vouch for seeing Mike's votes posted before the crash, problem over! :D

I win either way, BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA  ;)

Not to be a sore winner or anything
Good luck Red Ant

I know this has nothing to do with me, but I'm going to throw my dang hat into the ring anyway.

There IS no precedent for having posts wiped so, IMHO, any judgement on this would stand alone.

I sometimes don't visit amiright or inthe00s for days, weeks, and occasionally months...so if I had entered this contest there would be a fair to middling chance that I would be unaware my vote got lost in cyberspace. If I had voted honestly (which I'm sure Mike did), there would not necessarily be a reason for me to visit the site if I didn't have time...so I would miss the voting deadline (as Mike did).

I think you have include these votes regardless of how it effects places...which is tough for those who lose out, but who wouldn't have placed anyway if the whole debacle didn't occur in the first place.

I'll shut up now...

exactly, KR - any other action would be clearly unfair imo

btw my concern was about setting a precedent not following one, but even so, it would not be a dangerous precedent to set

again, if anyone saw Mike's votes up, say so...in which case gray skies are gonna clear up :)

I'm almost certain that I did.

There's no dilemma here, Stu. I'm sure Mike voted (I believe I saw them myself) and his votes should be counted.  :)

Congrats to Matthias and Aggy.

PS: This is not setting a precedent really. The MB is unlikely to ever go through such a thing again (i.e a 3 day post wipe), and only in that case should the "my vote was wiped" issue ever come up again.

I'm for keeping Mike's vote.  I'm pretty sure I had 10 points when the results were first posted, and the top guy had 27.  Including Mike's puts me at 9.  It's possible that Jack may have voted as well, but I don't see any response from him.  And it may be...like Kristof said...he hasn't visited or viewed this thread since the posts were lost.

Congrats to Ant, Matthias, Agri, and everyone else.

Thanks Red Ant!!

thanks also to cat and Wolverine for their witness reports (and going by your recollection Wolverine, there may soon be a similar appeal by Jack W)

see revised tallies on my original results post everyone

Revised (only for the first time!) Results for the U round are:

1st place with 24 points:     "Uneasy Rider" by       Matthias
2nd place with 20 points:    "The Unemployment Song" by        Agrimorfee
3rd place with 19 points:     "Unsavory Folks" by        Red Ant

1 disqualification:  Jack Wilson (I think..................er, pending)

congrats to Matthias, Agrimorfee and Red Ant


see you in the "V"s.....





Stuart the title of my parody was "Uneasy Writer" not "Uneasy Rider"
"Uneasy Rider" is the OS title

I appreciate everyone's support :) Thanls.

For me the real issue isn't how I did in this round -- I think someone else's votes got lost and that would have left me with a whopping 3 points i/o 2  ;D My concern was more about missing a far better opportunity in the V round.

Thanks again,

MM

Ah well, it's only the Internet, and we 3 are still in the top spots. So it's all cool.
