He added some comments in a 2nd post which was edited and also looks like a 2nd ballot.

Vryce's votes DO count. His votes were in the first post. His REASONS for voting were in later posts, which were edited.

But his VOTES were never edited.

:lol:

With my spreadsheet, I don't think I could have counted Vryce's votes twice, but I'm going to go over them again to make sure.

I voted for Pat Buchanan.

Sorry. Vryce votes DO count of course.

I'm still working on it.

I've never used this smilie before, but here goes: :banana:

Well played, my friend. This was a tough match-up, IMO. And later rounds are only going to get tougher, for everyone.

I didn't count Vryce's votes twice. I got 40 votes, with 2 disqualifications (not counting Fandango's late entry).

I still come up with 19-19 for Hollowgen vs. ChrisKnudsen. The two DQs were both for Knudsen (as was Fandangos). The outsiders were split 50/50 on them as well.

It will defiantly be interesting. It seems like so many lists are very different. I know that I will be checking out a lot of "new to me" bands because of this contest. For that I thank you Auto (even though you voted against me).

This is what I get as well.

That's a terrible way to break a tie. :)

Let them each pick 1 of their albums to be their tiebreaker (ringer) pick, and then open the voting for a half-hour or so and see who gets the most votes. That is better than flipping a coin.

Winners:

1. ???
2. Lokimok
3. illennium
4. BadlyDrawnBoy
5. DJLinus
6. Flynn
7. jimdrix
8. cdollaz
9. Vryce
10. ryuryu2949
11. Giles
12. Damfino
13. cleaver
14. maxfisher
15. Mordred
16. Aphex Twin

Why not let them both advance to the next round? Let Round 2 be decided by a vote for Chris, Hollow, or their competitor.

We certainly need a better way to break ties.

You asked for it. You got it.

Round 1 Tiebreaker

Pretty damn close. :lol:

What a mess. I appreciate everybody being patient.

how will tie breakers be done in future?

The same way I'm doing this one.

A one hour tiebreaker poll.

Edited winners can't win... :)

Damfino, you can thank me spelling "Aphex" as "Apez" multiple times. So my anal-retentiveness resulted in your victory (and my voice not being heard). Reminds me of the time I voted for Buchanan in 2000........ fly butterfly, fly.

Wrote the above post before I saw this. Nice.

Most overrated, maybe. Its presence on your opponent's list was a large factor in my vote for your list.

The "classes" so far are evenly split. Each has lost about half of its players. It looks like the age of the albums so far has not had much of an effect.



WINNERS, BY DEVIATION OF YEAR

This was mostly inconclusive... Still... people who drafted from a group of about a decade did very well. Those who stuck to too strict of a time period (Hollowgen, tripwire) or were all over the place (orange crush, ADD, myself) did not do well. This test seems to give an edge to maxfisher, jimdrix, DJLinus, BadlyDrawnBoy, ryuryu2949, and illenium.


SUPER-HEAVY FAVORITES (by votes in first round)

- ApexTwin ........ 29
- ryuryu2949 ...... 28
- jimdrix ......... 27
- maxfisher ....... 26
- BadlyDrawnBoy ... 25
- cdollaz ......... 25


These players either had a super-strong collection or a weak opponent. Keep a close eye on them.
