Writing contest exit poll: How did you vote?

[edyzmedieval]

I voted for Master of Puppets.My English is so bad that i judged those stories only by how fascinating they were so my vote goes to Puppetmaster.

Your english is bad?!

Shakespeare's gonna be revolted.....

You guys realise that the whole point of keeping the original poll invisible was so people didn't know how many votes someone had until they won...? It was why Tosa had to manualy rework the code to make the poll hidden.

So...why is this poll up again?

And thanks for the compliments edyzmedieval.

and thus the entire question of

So...why is this poll up again?

is unanswered.

Well we can be pretty sure that most of us voted for ourselves.

I didn't vote for myself last year iirc, and i won't this year.

Monk.I dont know about the others,but its just the same to me whether this poll is here or not.But i understand your concern about it effectin voters.I was only joking.

[RabidGibbon]

I have to agree that voting for yourself is a bit weird. I originally thought that partcipants wouldn't vote, but when I realised others were I decided to vote for my favourite story.

[The Stranger]

You're welcome by Red Robe Bald Brother.

Monk really is a great writer. I'm not gonna be surprised if he wins the contest again.

I agree. TosaInu manually adjusted the poll to make the results invisible and guarantee that the jury does not know the results, and then someone else creates another poll to guess the results.

I think this thread should be closed and deleted.

For the record: I have not voted yet, but will do so after I have read every story properly.

my point exactly

I think this thread should be closed and deleted.

seconded. Nothing against this threads creator, but the entire point is to be unaware of who is winning/losing/or what until the poll is closed.

[The Shadow One]

Okay -- here's one downside to two polls. I just realized I voted in the wrong D*MN POLL!!!

Granted I should have been paying more attention but it was during my lunch hour, I wasn't feeling well, yada, yada, yada . . .

Oh well, errror corrected.

[RabidGibbon]

LOL The Shadow One, I know what you mean. I voted in the exit poll, then realised I hadn't voted in the main poll.

I agree though that this thread should really be closed.

So why am I posting and voting here you ask? - thats easy - I'm a hypocrite(sp).

This concern alone merits the removal of this thread from the Mead Hall. If voting in the wrong poll is done by a contestant (or 2), what will non-contestants do when confronted by 2 identical polls?

The integrity of the contest is at stake here, so I've moved it to an unrelated forum.

My humble apologies to the thread/poll starter. I hope you understand the logic behind this decision.

[King Henry V]

As I said in the Unofficial Story comments thread, I perfectly understand the logic. I did not mean any confusion when I started this poll.
