Subject: ABC5 (S) Voting Thread RESULTS POSTED

Written By: Below Average Dave on 10/05/09 at 3:10 am

Welcome to the
ABC5 (S)
Voting Thread



Voting deadline for ABC5(P) is by the end of the day according to AmIRight
Friday October 16th
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 or ABC4
- 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 ABC5 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)


and the entries are.........

1. SuperSizer by Abbott Skelding
    Womanizer

2. Shopping is Spastic by The Conqueror of Parodies
    Intergalactic

3. Stunt Guy by Matthias

Hey David, since no one has voted yet can I get in the contest? If so, here's what I'd like to enter:

Thanks.

Current video link for Womaniser has been removed, use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSdLwzVCba8

The link for Spokesman is incorrectly written, delete the first "http://" : ;)

I will reserve my vote for now, but I do not believe that ABC rules allow for a late entry, even if no one has voted yet.

The rules say no late entries but there is already precedents set that allowed this in the past, so I have no objections to letting Jack's entry in, but it is for Dave to decide.

You guys know me and deadlines. . .I don't like firm entry deadlines, and usually grant extensions for legitimate reasons.  . .Ant you are in, Agri --thanks, that's fixed
