I feel like that
Re: Final 1980s Poll: Instructions and Links
I think there were some issues with your first 2 posts. I got 3 messages from you, but when I clicked the first two, it said "this message has been deleted by the sender". The third one came through fine, however!PlasticRam wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2020 10:00 amOh I see.

Re: Final 1980s Poll: Instructions and Links
Ballots are officially closed! We've ended up with 35 album ballots and 38 song ballots - a pretty good turnout!
There seem to be a few surprises in the results, which is exciting! I'll start rolling them out soon - it may not be super detailed as I am busy preparing for the upcoming semester with some unforeseen kinks to work out. I will take Henrik's suggestion and start the countdown not from 300 for songs and 200 for albums, but from a smaller number, to add suspense to the poll in terms of which albums and songs made the final presentation. I'm thinking of presenting the top 200 songs and 150 albums, but let me know what you'd prefer.
Also, what would be preferred - rolling out the album results first, the song results first, or both (basically alternating between the two each day)?

Re: Final 1980s Poll: Instructions and Links
I think songs first is sort of the tradition and a good way to go

Top 200 songs and 150 or albums is fine.Moonbeam wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2020 3:35 am Ballots are officially closed! We've ended up with 35 album ballots and 38 song ballots - a pretty good turnout!

And I prefer the alternating resuts.
Thanks.

One vote for songs first.

Re: Final 1980s Poll: Instructions and Links
It depends on how you go about the remaining entries, songs #201-300 and #151-200. Are you just going to post them as a one-post list? That could work, but as a special roll-out those tend to be anti-climactic, as we already have the big winners. I prefer just starting at the end as it creates a more natural suspense; while Henrik's method is more about creating suspense through a sort of guessing game. Of course, if most people prefer that, than it's fine with me.Moonbeam wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2020 3:35 am I will take Henrik's suggestion and start the countdown not from 300 for songs and 200 for albums, but from a smaller number, to add suspense to the poll in terms of which albums and songs made the final presentation.

I'm in the same boat as Rob here. But I didn't vote, so I guess it's not really up to me.Rob wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2020 2:51 pmIt depends on how you go about the remaining entries, songs #201-300 and #151-200.

Re: Final 1980s Poll: Instructions and Links
I prefer a top 200/150
A top 300 would make the presentation a little bit extensive
Especially because, probably at the end of the presentation, the complete chart will be published.
