Good luck ryuryu2949. You have an excellent collection.

The choice between my collection and RyoHazuki comes down to one preference: color versus black and white. Yes, that is right, I said it. I certainly respect black and white (I even have one in my collection: Rashomon), but Ryo simply has too much. Eraserhead: black and white. Rules of the Game: black and white. To Kill a Mockingbird: black and white. Band of Brothers: muted tones. Schindler's List: black and white (and pink). I mean, the only dvd he has that has vibrant colors is an animated movie!

A vote for ryuryu2949 is a vote for color!!!

This will be remembered if you make it to the next round!

Sarcasm, people! I love B & W films; almost picked Psycho too before someone beat me to it. But it looks like we are back in action after the downtime. Not much time left.......

I think an Anti-Christian Slater platform would have been much more effective but hey, that's why I'm not in politics.

ryuryu2949 09-19-05 02:17 PM

Groucho, any chance the voting can be extended because of the 2+ hour forum downtime???

Groucho 09-19-05 02:20 PM

Preliminary Results

1. jfrost vs. Franchot (tie - 26 each)

2. ryuryu2949 (27 votes) wins over RyoHazuki (24 votes)

3. cleaver (31 votes) wins over dollfins1 (21 votes)

4. slop101 (34 votes) wins over William Fuld (18 votes)

I'm going to do a recount on #1 because it's a tie. I'm going to do a recount on #2 because the results don't total up to 52 as expected, and because the names are similar so I'm sure I screwed something up.

I don't think a recount is necessary for #3 or #4.

Voting had pretty much died anyway. If somebody comes in here clamoring that they missed out because of the downtime I'll hear their case.

Groucho 09-19-05 02:31 PM

Recount Results

1. jfrost (29) wins over Franchot (23)

2. ryuryu2949 ties with RyoHazuki (26 each)

3. cleaver (31 votes) wins over dollfins1 (21 votes) [from 1st count]

4. slop101 (34 votes) wins over William Fuld (18 votes) [from 1st count]

Wow, I really miscounted #1 the first time. :lol: I'm going to recount match up #2 one more time...

Groucho 09-19-05 02:37 PM

Can I get some of you to independently count match-up #2? The similar names are making my head spin.

ryuryu2949 09-19-05 02:39 PM

Groucho, I will try this again, but one count had me winning 27-26 (I guess that is impossible) and another had it tied at 26. I will do another count though.

darkhawk 09-19-05 02:41 PM

I count

ryuryu2949 - 25

RyoHazuki - 27

ryuryu2949 09-19-05 02:43 PM

Yea, I am now counting ryuryu2949-26, ryohazuki-27. I won't concede until there is an official ruling though. :-)

ryuryu2949 09-19-05 02:44 PM

Groucho, maybe you should keep the voing open a bit more because of how close it was??

Groucho 09-19-05 02:45 PM

I found a "lost" post. spartanstew quoted somebody else's post and replied "ditto." So I didn't see his votes. Adding those in, I get

ryuryu2949 - 26 votes
RyoHazuki - 27 votes

This looks correct to me. Any objections?

(I won't allowed "quoted" votes in the next round)

cleaver 09-19-05 02:46 PM

I've got RyoHazuki over ryuryu2949 27-26 and jfrost over Franchot 27-26. Maybe OT wouldn't be a bad idea...

Mhepburn20 09-19-05 02:49 PM

Extending the deadline seems a bit ridiculous. Sure it was close but so were previous rounds and this one went on the longest amount of time and had the most amount of votes of any round.

Got the same.

Hmm, counting the "lost" vote, I got 30-23 in this matchup.

jfrost 09-19-05 03:02 PM

Sweet... when does the semi-final round start?

Mhep, I would completely agree with you if not for the significant downtime this board experienced today. I think that makes it different. Rest assured, I agree that a close matcup is not reason alone to extend the time, but a close matchup + almolst 3 hours of downtime toward the end of voting might be.

William Fuld 09-19-05 03:20 PM

Thanks to everybody who voted for my list, and congrats to slop101.

ryuryu2949 09-19-05 03:52 PM

RyoHazuki, congratulations on your victory. You have an outstanding collection. I wish you great success with the remainder of the competition.



P.S.- please tell me more about Yakuza Papers, I am intrigued.

Franchot 09-19-05 04:14 PM

Please keep the voting open until I win the game. (Just kidding.) I vote we end this round and get on to the next round.

Congrats to all the winners and my opponent--jfrost. Good job.

Nice post, and please note that you were, hands down, my pick for the competition...so I'm a bit disappointed. Hell of a collection, win or lose.

Groucho 09-19-05 05:16 PM

The next round will start sometime tomorrow...sorry for the delay!
