Subject: On the Waterfront May 2013 voting thread (Deadline: July 1!) RESULTS POSTED!

Written By: ChrisBodilyTM on 06/14/13 at 7:56 pm

Welcome and good luck. On the Waterfront is for any parody that "coulda been a contender" for SOTM, but the author chose a different song instead.

Please read all guidelines carefully. Especially, please make sure to read all the entries and vote by the end of the month. OTW 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.*

*If there's less than five to choose from, your first choice still gets 5 points, etc.

~~You're only allowed to vote for your own song if you submitted more than one. And even then, you may only vote for one of them.

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

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

~~Anyone 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, while all points will be forfeited, an entrant who has been disqualified may still participate next month if (s)he goes back and comments on all entrants from the month (s)he got disqualified prior to the end of the entry field (s)he is trying to get involved in.

~~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

~~The timestamp rule that SOTM abides by is null and void in OTW.

Sound good?  :) Rebellious little contest, ain't it?  ;D

Have fun! :)

Just a friendly reminder that there are only 11 days left in this contest, and so far no activity except from me. I can guess it was a slow month (Even SOTM only has six entries; this one only has five) and that people are busy and have lives. Just making sure you all haven't forgotten about your commitments.

No offense, but this is getting ridiculous.  :-\\ Four voting days left and absolutely no activity except from me? Hmm...

I thought I was making you guys "an offer can't refuse." Oh well.

If nobody else votes by July 1, there will be no winner. What exactly is going on here? just curious is all.  :)

We do usually wait 'til close to the deadline to vote, but I assure you we will vote. Matty and I are pretty consistent when it comes to voting on time. Sorry that we concerned you.
