Subject: ABC5 (I) Votes Totaled

Written By: Matthias on 06/14/09 at 6:50 pm

Welcome to the
ABC5 (I)
Voting Thread

Voting deadline for ABC5(D) is midnight (amiright time) Thursday June 26th
No votes date-stamped after the voting deadline will be accepted - no exceptions

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

or in algebraic terms, p = 6 - r (p=points, r=rank)

RULES
- Any parody beginning with the current letter is eligible, except parodies that have been entered into ABC1 or ABC2 or ABC3
- You're not allowed to vote for your own parody
- Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it
- Anyone who's participated in any previous ABC contest may vote
- Any entrant who hasn't left a comment on all entries is disqualified and may not participate in the next letter
- Any entrant who doesn't vote by the voting deadline (above) is disqualified and may not participate in the next letter

ALSO
Under no circumstances will a vote that missed the voting deadline be accepted (even by 1 second)
However the resulting disqualification from entry to the next ABC4 comp may be over-ruled, if you do the following...

1. Post an "appeal" on this thread giving your excuse for missing the deadline, and plead for mercy
2. If your plea wins the sympathy of 3 other entrants your disqualification from the next round will be overturned
Your late votes will still not count though
(if less than 4 entrants in the comp, only 2 sympathetic "Thumbs Ups" are required)

Um, no. DQs always forfeit points earned, no exceptions. If you want to put up a rule change proposal, or arbitrarily change the rules yourself, you can do that, but not after a contest has been run - it would have to be done before hand.

What if the parody had earned 50 points? You'd be giving the gold to a DQ, and robbing Leo of his rightful win. Or if she had 27 points, and didn't vote, you would be off the podium. The point total is irrelevant, since DQs forfeit all of them.

I'm giving a 'thumbs up' to Melanie being in the next round, provided she can comment on all the parodies she didn't get to for this one.

:) Thanks for all the "thumbs up" allowing me to go on to the next round.

According to my calculations, I would've received 16 points for the I round. Oh, well. Sorry I didnt get to listen to all your stuff. It seems like, with my new schedule, I can no longer count on squeezing it all in on one night! :o

Anyway, as I've been saying, I have some school stuff to catch up upon! See ya! ;)

Congrats to Leo, Silver and Matthias. All the rest too - all of the parodies were pretty good. Good luck in the J/K round; I just got back into town and won't get one in but I'll be back for another letter when I have a quality song. Thanks for the votes and hope you enjoyed.

Impeachably yours,
