Subject: February 2009 SOTM RESULTS POSTED
Written By: Below Average Dave on 03/09/09 at 12:38 am
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. and so on
If the points total and votes are identical, it will be left as a legitimate tie
~~Any entrant whose votes don't show a time stamp prior to midnight on the last day of the month (ie. according to the "inthe00's meantime" clock as it appears BEFORE you log in - not a timezone corrected version) is disqualified, without exception.
~~A medal known as the FUCA shall be awarded to the highest ranking parody which did not make the month's podium and is of an original song which has not previously earned any medal

********RULE CHANGE SUGGESTION (PLEASE VOTE)***********************
Jeff Reuben has made a rule change proposal to change the Disqualification rule. The official rule change if this passes will strike the rule "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." to "Anyone who enters but does not both comment and vote on all entries by the end of the month is disqualified and may not participate next month unless (s)he goes back and comments on all entries for the month (s)he did not vote".
In essence it'd make it to where if you forget or are unable to vote for whatever reason, you can still enter the following month so long as you comment on all other entries, but does not change the fact that you cannot earn point in a month which you don't vote.
Jeff Reuben, Claude Prez, 2nz, Below Average Dave, Red Ant, Arwen, Stuart McArthur, and The Conqueror of Parodies have all already stated their support for this rule and their votes for "yes" will be added to the totals. . .though because those votes were placed before the thread was placed, anyone may change their vote on this rule if they wish--and I wouldn't mind if you guys and girl still posted a "yes" on your actual vote also

Good to see so many new authors - there'll be life in the ol' SOTM for a while to come, methinks...
I know "Under the Sea" parodies are not necessarily the most original of beasties, but Pensworth's is more original than most...

Also thanks to all who voted my song 12 points (Very new OS I know, and I'm glad that a lot of you didn't look too down upon it)

Special congratulations to Pensworth for winning his first SOTM - now you've really got something to live up to, you know? :)
Hey.. I so nearly voted 1,2,3 (Arwen, where were ya?) :)
..and it's especially hard to believe that "Complicated" has never been on the SOTM podium before. On the other hand, looking at most of the 100+ parodies of it, it's not that hard to believe. Thanks all for making this FUCA very happy.

Beats me...blame it on those losers who didn't vote for my celebration of laziness... ;)
CONGRATS to Pensworth, Jeff and Claude...you're all well deserving...
And thanks to all those who did vote for me...(and to those who didn't...I guess... ;))...and just for letting me play. I'm loving being back in the swing of SOTM.

Thank you. I'm glad you all enjoyed my song. There's a lot of talent on this site. I might try this again one day, but probably not too soon. As laborious as it was to write this one song I don't see myself popping one out every week. But this was fun. You're all very talented.

Congratulations to Pensworth, as far as I know the only TOTAL "newbie" in SOTM history to come in and kick tail on the first try.
Congratulations to Jeff, who is as far from being a newbie as there is at AmiRight.
Congratulations to Me!Me!Me! without whom I may not have even entered this month.
And of course the usual thanks to the apparently tireless Dave and Matthias, who do a ton of work with these comps; believe me, I know it can be a pain in the ass but from my point of view it's totally worth it since I'm not the one doing it anymore.

Congrats to Pensworth, who is new to amiright, but I imagine has been a very good writer for a long time. Congrats to Claude for his continued comeback tour! As Dave said, this was well stocked month
