You said you would only respond to posts in this thread that were directed to you.

Was my post directed at you, or were you justing lying when you said that?

Traditionally we voted in one round. Last year someone sugestted we use a two round voting system. So I set up another poll:

A) is the traditional way, you give 5-3-1 to three favourite stories.
B) is the same only that after the first round of voting there is a second round for the first three placed (and any story with max. one vote less than the third.) In the second round it is one vote per person.

Voting procedure

42% one round
58% two rounds
12 votes • Final results


The result was two round voting, so the three top voted pieces (and any which are 1 vote behind the thrid will make it to a decisive round.

I missed this, I don't mind at all how we vote, but is there some way such things can be made more obvious?

If the vote is first in the thread it helps keeps thing neat and tidy.


So I apologize to all who don't routinely follw the thread…

I am not really motivated to start new threads for each Detail, and I would like to have "floating"votings (that is a vote without a thread and stuck to the Forum, like the Blogs in "Chess only" I will make a formal Suggestion in the site Ideas thread.

Indeed this is why some voted for longer formats.

Edit I misread the characters for words...🙁
