Guys - it's no problem. We already settled it, I won. Right? I mean, look at my crown. I made it out of macaroni.

Boofo 02-29-2008 02:20 PM

Danny?

Boofo 02-29-2008 02:49 PM

Yes, from the Yankee Doodle song where he stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni.

Boofo 02-29-2008 03:27 PM

And some can use words but still don't make sense.

Boofo 03-01-2008 05:44 AM

I think that statement was very easy to understand. When you allow people to multiple vote in a poll like this, that takes a lot of the fairness out of it, don't you think?

And that statement was meant in a humorous tone, anyway. Sorry you missed it.

Marco van Herwaarden 03-01-2008 05:55 AM

Maybe my post was also humorous, sorry you missed that.

PS If everyone may vote multiple times, then how is this a fixed vote. All have the same voting options.

"Fixing a vote" usually points at the organizers of the contest or 1 of the contestants and is accusing them of manipulating the outcome of the vote. That is something different then allowing people to cast more then 1 vote, don't you think?

I was worried too for the system, but by the distribution of the numbers/votes, you can notice that everybody voted 'proportionally fair' :cool:

Touch?! I guess I deserved that.

A proper way to do it would have been to first vote on who was to be in the poll. Then vote on the participants. This poll was started by one individual who personally picked the contestants. The outcome of the vote was basically set up from the beginning as the choices were preset. Now, see what I learned from living in the first caucus state? :D

'Proportionally fair' doesn't cut it in the real world, my friend. ;)

Paul M 03-01-2008 07:34 AM

And there was me thinking this thread was just a bit of fun ..................

Boofo 03-01-2008 07:36 AM

It was, Paul. We all know [S]Danny.VBT[/S] who the real queen is here. It was all in fun, just a misunderstanding. ;)

What I meant was: Although the System was imperfect, the voters acted fairly and honorably...
;) But I know you understood since the beginning, so no need to explain and now lets get to the celebration part!

Zachariah 03-01-2008 03:41 PM

Did I win ?

/me goes back to code cave.

Boofo 03-01-2008 03:52 PM

You'll always be my Queen, John. ;)

UncoderMom 02-05-2009 11:43 AM
