MindCrime Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I like both ideas very much but if I had to pick just one I'd go with the no votes I'm planning on doing the Ultimate Top 2's anyways if Ron doesn't feel like doing it, but we also got the Ultimate 10s 201-225 coming up soon.

Lea Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Why do you think yours don't count? If you vote in a timely fashion I think your votes are counted. I may be wrong but I think thats how it's been handled in the past. Pkstones was pretty new last time we played and she was able to vote and put up a list if I recall as was my mother. They were both fairly new to SF but I don't remember if they started in the middle You'd have to ask Ron but if your voting before voting closes, I'll bet he's counting your votes. He did say anyone could vote when we started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chutzpah Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I'm catching up...as far as I know my votes count in a timely manner...and to be fair,I'll just vote...I have no problem with this...I always wait till the last possible time to say anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I'm counting Chutzpah's votes and I have him in the magic hat to take a turn nominating for this PTT. I see no reason we can't do both a "no votes" PTT playoff, before the final "Top Two Winners" PTT. No problems at all. I don't mind staying with it to the end, Kenne.

Steel2Velvet Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 We are nearing the finish line of the second round of PTTs. The next three weeks will feature the nominations of Viaene, Chutzpah and then, if there are no other takers of the opportunity, mine. Finally, we will finish up with two weeks of results compilation style TTs. If there is anyone else who has been participating in this exercise, who has not gotten a chance to have their nominations voted upon, please PM me and let me know who you are so I can fit you into the schedule. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesboy Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I am concerned by the possibility that some of the earlier list submittors may no longer be voting on those lists that have come after theirs. I have not done a detailed analysis and do not know identities, but we had about 24 participants originally (plus a couple of steady "voters only,") yet the last PTT had a slim 19 voting respondents. If the trend continues to see a decline in voters, this just wouldn't be fair to those who have been faithfully maintaining the game and have yet to submit their list. Think about this and support the community. Thanks Some people are just the bad apples of society. It's amazing how they just blow this thread off after their turn comes.

Steel2Velvet Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Well, if that be the case, BB, they only cost themselves. Fairly certain I am not alone in understanding that by actively listening to each of the songs presented through a conscientious personal screening process by each new nominator, that I am hearing a richer, broader selection of international music than I might ever hope to hear through a radio station rotation. Plus, I know the person doing the nominating is, in effect, sending me a piece of themself while desirous of a closer relationship through our music exchange. Frankly, there is just too much upside to this process to not stay involved; and those who chose to no longer do so - lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Unfortunately I have been a culprit of not voting the past couple PTT's. I've been phenomenally busy with both of my jobs and haven't had the chance to really listen to each playlist. I will do my best though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 some posts for discussion imposted from Viaene's PTT I think steel should give it a few more days. I need to bump a few of those songs off the list And I think that anyone who wanted to impact the results should have gotten their vote in before the same deadline we have consistently had in place for 6 months. I have another nominator excitedly expecting their list to be posted around midnight tonight. What do I tell them; we're pushing you back? I have tried to accommodate as fairly and reasonably as I could this entire round, but totally understand now that precedent is essential for the effective working of the top tens. I originally considered setting up a two-week period for voting, but in my experience the lists (and anticipation) lose a lot of dynamic energy at that interval. A week is fast, but its a rapid world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I agree with Steel. I know that the new ptt gets published Saturday nights and I need to listen and vote by the next friday afternoon (west coast time). So it's all about time management during your busy weekly schedule. If I know very few songs of the current ptt, then I try to listen to 10 or so songs every day and by the deadline for voting I've whittled down my list.

Steel2Velvet Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 In all fairness, were I to start this again, I would post the results at midnight (EST) on Thursday, allow for comments all day Friday and then post a new set of nominations at midnight on Friday. This would allow the entire weekend for listening and 4 additional weekdays for fine-tuning/voting. But when I originally set it up, I tried to accommodate my own schedule as well, in order to consistently maintain the process without needing to change horses in midstream, as it were. Midnight Thursday EST is, in summer here, 3 A.M. And working a full-time job, plus running a photography business, at my age sleep is fairly important.

Steel2Velvet Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 It doesn't look like it needs special time for comments, it only takes a minute to post a comment. Those can be made at anytime regardless of another set of nominations being posted or not. Just my .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Perhaps you're right, Kenne; and I have thought about that. I just visualize that if at the end of one cycle the next abruptly begins that people might have a tendency to forget the first list too soon and withhold a thought. Perhaps not ... thoughts from others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chutzpah Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I think it should stay the way it is A week is good...50 songs...I listen to ten then 5 more...sometimes I have to listen to certain songs more than once...Especially,this last week... because I knew none of them...Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
