@mrnovember

If we do 3 polls per pool we do a simple final round.

If we do brackets we take the winner of each or the top 2 of each into the final.

I'm the electrical collagen.

Yeah dude I think if you're gonna organize it then you should control the rules. We are subject to your Volvo-centric nonsense.

[PeteeBee]

I think either brackets or three polls per size category is fine. Anything more complicated is just too dang much work.
That being said, I get like 2 votes every year so I'm not majorly invested in this. I figure you have to take it very serious as you set up your dopest boards and simultaneously not serious at all as the votes and banter happen.

[odontophobia]

I don't care because I'm not going to win anyways

It's hard to win when the Kremlin Gremlin's are hacking the polls, man.

Cmon you academics, lets maths and problem solve the most practical system possible. It can be done. Yup!
Is there a way to set it up where only participants can vote in a weighted poll (1st, 2nd, 3rd), but not vote for themselves?
1st pick gets 9 points, 2nd gets 5 points, 3rd gets 1 point etc; in each diff size board category.
If 40 people participate and send 40 (verified) emails with 3 votes per category, first identifying which board is their own, then the data can be entered into an excel or similar spreadsheet for proper tally with paper trail, relatively easily I would think. Which boards get how many 1st, 2nd, 3rd place votes and the final value from under 10 min of data entry. Designing the spreadsheet would require more effort and I suspect some of ya are handy with those things ...or maybe strawpoll.me or equivalent allows for that

Spreadsheets are to ILF as grapes are to dogs; garlic to vampires, &c. I come here to escape the world of order and sensibility--this is Bakhtin's carnivalesque.

Arguing about rules suggests that this is not a fucking goofy arbitrary juvenile exercise in electronic whimsy.








Anyway I'll do the spreadsheet.

[Invisible Man]

But seriously I think of it like Vid is the dungeonmaster in assless chaps cracking a whip of braided patch cables. It's the balm on my spanked fanny and on my bruised ego when I inevitably get knocked out immediately.

[rustywire]

bruh I'm not arguing rules, but I'd argue you come here to bask in the enjoyable world of order and sensibility because the world of academia is actually the goofy, arbitrary juvenile exercise devoid of electronic whimsy.

Think about it. Life makes more sense on ILF and BILF is no exception. An oscillating fuzz is out of order and disrupts sensibility in your world, but here it can wreck in harmony and still be unruly on spreadsheets. Also getting your shine took is no big deal when you're a glutton for punishment, doing what you do for a living

[Invisible Man]

Nah Rusty I love in a world of concentric rings of pleasure. From inner to outer: family, friends, ILF, work. The direction of the insanity changes a lot.

In seriousness: so many misconceptions and strange assumptions about academe out there that I can't be sure where anyone is coming from, so who knows what you mean there--no fault of yours.

Growing impatient as I wait for a 'shopped Vid as a fuzz doninatrix/spreadsheet warlord/spin chip deity.

Fuck democracy. Get in the BILFODROME.
4-6 Boards enter, 1 Board leaves.

[Antlerface]

I'm not quite sure what's going on but I wanna play.

[weebles]

At the end of the day, it comes down to whether or not you trust the community and the members thereof to not be dicks and vote for themselves three times.

Which I kind of don't. But you do you. You're the captain.

[Blackened Soul]

I'm just here to see someone try and put all their pedals on their pet for a picture
