that would mean nearly 40 votes in 3/4 days which is quite remarkable. Thanks ilm!

I told you, dude – people are lazy and wait until the last minute. It's human nature.

usually i start album countdown as soon as i get the results after (vote) closing time. But with this year us trying a tracks poll I dunno whether to do that first or just start albums tonight and start tracks on monday when everyones back to work (it wont be a particularly long rollout.
Also I was going to do it on just the one results thread but seanwayne thinks it would be better on its own thread.
Another thought was leave tracks poll to the last few days of albums rollout and count it down simultaneously with the albums.
so anyone got any thoughts on it?
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:23 (ten years ago) link
j3ff might be right. Maybe polls should just have one week of voting in future. People could cram listening in during extended nominations instead.
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:24 (ten years ago) link
I guess it depends on how many tracks ballots come in and how long that rollout would be, but it seems like a minor feature of the metal poll and could probably kick off the thread that would house both polls' results.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 10 January 2014 19:25 (ten years ago) link
It may be tomorrow before I can get you the results btw.

oh and there will be no 150 200 300 etc albums rollout
xp
ahh ok seandalai np!
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:26 (ten years ago) link
i think tracks rollout would be around the top 25 mark
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:27 (ten years ago) link
I might start with the tracks rollout as jf suggests then whenever i get the results. Just hope noone minds the tracks results being done over the weekend but if noone objects I will do it.

thinking about doing this thing. no one nommed wrekmeister harmonies, what's up with that?
― tench and pike, scaup and snipe (NickB), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:40 (ten years ago) link
go for it. And thanks for the shorter total rollout of tracks.
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 10 January 2014 19:40 (ten years ago) link
do it!
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 10 January 2014 19:40 (ten years ago) link
tracks poll was always just a wee bit of fun. Hoped that it might attract non-partisans who might be more willing to check out standout tracks, that might then lead to albums being checked out.
Hopefully those who will follow tracks poll will be able to real time comments on the songs and will then hang around for albums.
plus I love it when in previous polls emil.y and others live-blogged thoughts on songs they didnt know.
Plus it can prove to doubters than metal has songs that do stand out. (also got no idea what the top 25 will be like.)

Still trying to listen through the tracks spotify playlist. I may have to give up and just submit an albums-only ballot, though I have discovered lots of cool stuff on the playlist (Oranssi Pazuzu and Stara Rzeka come to mind).

haha i forgot there is 2 nick b's. one has voted for years in metal poll but we used to only take email addys not ilx names. So seandalai its 2 different people not a revote.

its not just the NSA who knows who you are!
Anyway late voters can make a huge difference not only voting albums into the countdown, or into the top 10 or changing the order of the top 20buy ALSO decide #1. One year j3ffs last min vote changed the top 3.
so with ONE HOUR LEFT TO GO PLEASE VOTE
