Voting is skewed

Post by Porter » Tue Feb 22, 2005 9:04 pm

Some people cheated and voted like 5 times, and it actually counted it on the song poll results. What's the deal people?

Also The Kiss Of Judas (which is the real name of the song) got 29 votes and Kiss Of Judas (which is wrong, but shows the stupidity of you strato fans, hangs on by a thread of getting in the 18 song list) got 89. Can we please combine those please?

C'mon people, let's get it the hell right. SPELL and use song names correctly correctly and don't CHEAT. :roll:

I'm sure that cheaters like that will have their votes thrown away when this is all over. Don't worry about it.

I'm just happy as long as Phoenix and Twilight Symphony are in the top 18. :D

well, it was said that you can write as many lists as you wish, but only your first post counts.
So where does the power come from to see the race to its end?

Allright, let's start working on your finnish, swedish, german, hungarian, greek, spanish etc. Then we shall see how smart you are.

He means people voted for one song multiple times in the same list.

His stupidity comment was uncalled for, but he's quite right. The name of the song is, "The Kiss Of Judas."

If someone likes a song so much that they want to waste all their 18 votes on it... well, then they must really like it :)

I think it's pretty clear which the most popular songs are, but of course we'll leave the voting poll open for a lot longer.

Will all the mispelling of one song (like kiss of judas, the kiss of judas, kiss of juda, kis of judas) be reunited at the end of the vote??

There should be also a "shadow" poll of around five songs that you have completely fed up hearing live ;)

Now that's an excellent idea! I'm not gonna make that topic sticky or anything though, this "anti-poll" will be our little secret! :)

Forgetting "the" in even my own song titles doesn't keep me up at night. If that makes me stupid but graduating at the top of my class at the university doesn't, we live in a very strange world. :roll:

Uh... don't know why this bit didn't post. What I said was it's not hard to just copy and paste the song names from another window that has the discography in it. That way you ensure that the names are spelled right.

It's a song title buddy boy. Not a translation.

This means, if it says "The Kiss Of Judas" logic says type in: "The Kiss Of Judas." Even I could figure that out in a different language.

Looking at all the ridiculous mispellings, it's completly idiotic. All you have to do is look at your album and copy what it says. Not type in : DS Milliaon LIghy Years awat.

Ok are you stupid buddy? It took me 5 seconds to count the votes. I'm not some retarded foreign idiot who can't count. Don't give me this bullshit that you haven't looked at the votes either for your favorite song.

Wow we have a slew of brilliant people here.
