Instead of having a poll people would just post their votes. It was done that way specifically to make sure people couldn't use second accounts as easily. But I don't have the time to tally all that shit anymore. It took forever.

there were nine more votes in the insigificance/immortality match than there were in Tremor Christ/Corduroy. It's a bit odd.

Re: Finals: Corduroy vs. Insignificance
Just checked: I voted in the Immortality/Insignificance match yet didn't for Corduroy/Tremor Christ as I was happy for either of the latter to advance.
So that's one person.

I'm sure there are some cases of that. but it only takes a few, unfortunately. Could be nothing

As much as I love Insignificance and all things Binaural, I cant vote against Corduroy.

Re: Finals: Corduroy vs. Insignificance
I really don't think it's that odd. The Tremor Christ/Corduroy matchup wasnt nearly as close, so people may have ony voted in the one where it seemed their vote would matter.stip wrote:Birds in Hell wrote:The mods may have a better idea but I find it hard to believe that anyone would bother.Coach wrote:Perhaps, and it's stronger than ever this year.theplatypus wrote:Let's not kid ourselves.

If you were going to use a second account to vote, wouldn't you vote in both matches so as to avoid this suspicion?

Unless there's actual evidence of dummy votes, I think the whole conversation is kind of absurd.

Re: Finals: Corduroy vs. Insignificance
Was it ever clearly stated that this is for best song and not personal favourite song? Or whatever criteria each voter brings to the table?
