Reveal hidden contents No I'm not. Also Itaria PMed me that he's just going to wait until his favorite wins the tie and then end the vote. Reveal hidden contents No he didn't. Heeheehee! I think it's time for a coin toss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Borex Posted July 30, 2017 @Itaria No Shintaku no ties, right now. Maybe a good time to close it finally? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirBlake Posted July 30, 2017 Ok, I'm calling it (even though I have zero authority to do so). The elf has won by two votes (again) and that hasn't changed for almost a full day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Littleworlds Posted July 31, 2017 Oh wow. That round is still going This is really remarkable that after how many days our two most heated duels are still undecided. Which way ever this will end, please keep in mind that its just a poll Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This does seem like a good idea if we cannot break out of this tie. Just let the final round be made up of all three figures. It seems that @Robert8's prediction of a Eurobricks civil war in this round was completely accurate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Borex Posted July 31, 2017 What if... @Itaria No Shintaku lost his password for good. And this round will never close. The horror. I know one thing after this round is over; the finals will take a month or two to decide who wins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAB Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) I've lost interest in it now. The elf has been two in front for a number of days, even after 70+ votes and it wasn't closed. It is now a whole week that this round has been going. How long will the final be open for? I think really a time limit should have been set for people to vote and the winner at the end of the time period should have been the winner. It has been a fun game throughout the rounds, but this last round has just dragged on too much. Edited July 31, 2017 by MAB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roebuck Posted July 31, 2017 Maybe, @Itaria No Shintaku is on vacation, is sick or really busy with work etc. Let the poor guy close the round when he got time, it is not the end of the world, both are great figs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He put so much effort into it already and we know he is tight on time. ...and maybe that settles the waves a bit as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirBlake Posted July 31, 2017 You're right, it's not the end of the world. Still, Elf was on top for 36 hours and this could have been done with. Now we're back to even and it's a little frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted July 31, 2017 One idea I had is maybe redo the vote with a tighter and pre anounced timeframe. Something like "whoever gets the most votes in a 24 hour period". Presumably people who reeaaaally want a figure to win would vote then no matter the time constraint, and then whoever has the most die hard fans wins.

dr_spock Posted July 31, 2017 Maybe he should've delegated a backup person if he is going to be away or unavailable. Fixed voting time limits would make it seem fairer and not open to conflicts of interests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koalayummies Posted July 31, 2017 Can't we save Elf, Scarecrow, Imp and Farmer and pair each of them against a different semi-finalist? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickJagger Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) The results here are definitely too close to tell which figure is preferred. I second @Slegengr 's suggestion to have a three-figure final round. Edited July 31, 2017 by BrickJagger typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I second @Slegengr 's suggestion to have a three-figure final round. Yeah but the problem with that is again spoiler candidates. If we did a 3 figure final round, the fairest system would be to ask everyone to rank the figures and make a tally manually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Littleworlds Posted August 1, 2017 Is there a minimum account-age for taking part in the poll? If not, maybe its a good idea to introduce one. Ideally the account has to be older than the poll it tries to vote in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
