it's important to get this right. democracy must work.

you voting would have been nice

[Heathen]

I voted against Axel F mostly.

[stip]

I cant wait to listen to all my picks in a chronological playlist when we are done with all these.

I did that on my ride up to maine

[stip]

I don't care who thinks whose picks are 4th rate, or whose are not obscure enough. I have a good cross-section (not genre-specific) of my best representation of the 80's... and more importantly, have a cool new playlist of 25 songs.
I think it's mostly fun (and in some cases... interesting) to see what everyone picks, opening my eyes to songs/bands I wasn't previously familiar with (that's why I DO watch the videos).

Same here. I'm pretty certain I'm not nearly as musically literate or cultured as most of you, but these tournaments have been a great way for everyone to see what others' tastes are, in general.

It's this voting part, or more specifically the attempt to discredit someone else's picks that I get turned off by... especially by those who do not play.

Eh, sometimes I get irritated by the unprompted negative commentary, but I'm pretty sure that comes from my own insecurities and is not anyone else's fault. I love getting the opinions of the well-versed members around here. My musical horizons have been opened tenfold since coming to RM, and I'm definitely appreciative of it.

Commentary is my favorite part of this

Let's leave this round open in hour intervals from this post until we have no more ties

Good call.

And I think we should count Heathen's vote. So Stip v Kaius is tied up again.

[stip]

I was counting it.

I was counting it.

I figured. You can't afford the scandal.

But I was responding to the discussion on the previous page. Just putting in my two cents. But you've got this.

[William Bloke]

I'll pause the next round of voting for a small bit to leave this up for discussion.

If I were to make an executive decision, I would say Heathen's vote is not legitimate, because it seems she voted for a person & not the songs, and she failed to vote for any other person. Plus, she qualified her vote by saying "if kaius is tied" . A vote should be a vote across the board and free of any qualifications.

What do the rest of ya'll think?

Your points are interesting and have some merit, but I can't imagine any voting prerequisite except simply that an RMer state they are voting for a team.

If this is true, then dq anyone who voted against me... Lament's team is bullshit, and there's no way he wins against my picks if its vs. one of the beloved RMers.

[Norah]

stop it

[Iholdthepain]

If Kaius/Stip is still tied, then I change my vote to Stip.

Fuckers!

[Norah]

and you have every right to do that

[Iholdthepain]

stop it

Fuck you and your Paul's Boutique hard on!
