Shit. Editing voids those posts. I'm going to start re-counting now.

I built a spreadsheet with everyone's votes including the people who weren't involved in the game. You want me to post my results Auto?

I'm counting 39 picks + 2 edited picks... How could it tie?

Can Fandango can be a tie breaker?

Mordred: email that to me at odel@@fantasticdamage.com.com (only one @ and .com obviously) --- I'd like to have a results graphic to post

Auto, I can promise on a holy book that my edit of my votes was just to correct a (rather embarassing) typo, and none of my picks changed. I understand if you need a bright-line rule about this, but I can attest that my original picks stand.

I am sorry for the confusion.

yeah, I demand a recount, and even if I still lose, I will appeal it with my team of lawyers

Great excitment. Sorry numanoid

was a worthy battle.

These are the votes I counted:

Hollowgen: 19
ChrisKnudsen: 21

TripWire: 19
Lokimok: 21

monkish: 19
illenium: 21

Numanoid: 15
BadlyDrawnBoy: 25

DJLinus: 23
Orangecrush: 17

Flynn: 25
Rogue588: 15

jimdrix: 27
Drexl: 13 *drexl did not vote

Sweet Baby James: 15
cdollaz: 25

auto: 17
Vryce: 23

mano365: 12
ryuryu2949: 28

whaat: 19
Giles: 21

Damfino: 20
A.D.D. for DVD: 20

cleaver: 21
The Bus: 19

maxfisher: 26
deadlax: 14

Hiro11: 17
Mordred: 23

Fandango: 11 *Fandango did not vote in time
Aphex Twin: 29

If Fandango's vote doesn't count (based on the rules) then ryuryu2949 and Hiro11's votes shouldn't count either (based on the rules).

Official ruling: None of the edited voting posts count. Fandango's votes do not count. Sorry, those were the rules.

Mordred: Do these include the inelgible votes?

With those, I have Damfino winning by two votes.

For people who weren't playing the game, they had a few favorites:

Vryce and Ryuryu both got 8 of the 10 non-participant votes.
Monkish, BadlyDrawnBoy, Flynn, maxfisher and Mordred each got 7 votes.

For the most part this voting went with the way the participants voted, with only one exception: Outsiders voted 7-3 for monkish, but he still lost 19-21.

Outsiders also voted 6-4 in favor of A.D.D. for DVD in the race that was tied.

Outsiders were the deciding votes in Lokimok, Vryce and Giles' victories.

My count matches Mordred's count but I need to recount the Damfino/A.D.D. matchup.

Damn, so close... but, I'll happily accept this well-fought defeat, considering I was down by 16 to 3 at one point. I'm no longer embarrassed.

Congrats, illenium! And thanks, outsiders!

I didn't count Fandango's votes. I can easily remove ryuryu's votes and who was the other person who edited their post?

Vryce

I'd like to thank everyone who voted for my list (and the two who edited their posts). I knew it wasn't going to be easy to beat the best cd of the 90s (Nirvana's Nevermind), but I wasn't expecting this much drama.

Round 2 will begin at 1 PM [PST] after I clear up this mess.

Thanks for your help Mordred.

That means we have a 19-19 tie still for Damfino vs A.D.D.

Hiro11 also edited his post.

It wasn't Vryce, it was Hiro11. His edit was 5 minutes after he first posted and there were no votes in the intervening time. I say his votes should stand.

If Hiro's vote is removed or stays, Damfino still beats A.D.D., however that will cause a tie between Hollowgen and ChrisKnudsen which is currently 19-20 in favor of Chris.

an edit is an edit and it's against the rules.

Agreed. I have Damfino winning 20-18.

ryuryu2949, Hiro11 & Fandango's votes DO NOT count.

I will now re-count ChrisKnudsen/Hollowgen.

Vryce did not edit his post. It was the very first vote.
