the classic rock poll was a high point of ILX though, thanks again

Can we just start a new poll? The metal one hasn't even started voting, they're still nominating.
― kornrulez6969, Monday, 19 October 2015 19:13 (eight years ago) link
Nominations are closed, it's just that Frobisher's gone off to live his life like some sort of fvlse.

maybe someone can tabulate for him?
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 19 October 2015 20:11 (eight years ago) link
here's the spreadsheet for tabulating results:https://www.dropbox.com/s/wtyvbozifqfrtvn/ballot%20poll.xlsx?dl=0

i mean a person's poll is their poll, let frobisher come back whenever and start something else in the meantime.
― Gorefest Frump (Doctor Casino), Monday, 19 October 2015 21:00 (eight years ago) link
seems like it should be one of these:
Stephin Merritt - GukbeFairport Convention et al (R Thompson, S Denny) - Billy DodsNirvana - Gavin, LeedsCan - Z STom Petty - rogermexicoJimi Hendrix - some dude
― Οὖτις, Monday, 19 October 2015 21:07 (eight years ago) link
I vote Can.
― :wq (Leee), Monday, 19 October 2015 21:11 (eight years ago) link
this is clearly all being driven by the level of enthusiasm of the poll runners, so it kinda doesn't matter what anyone "votes" if the poll runner isn't available/doesn't want to do it.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 19 October 2015 21:13 (eight years ago) link
I want to do it! Thank you so much for posting that spreadsheet. Do you know where I find web form that thing people use for people to mail in their ballot?
― Frobisher, Monday, 19 October 2015 21:47 (eight years ago) link
it must be in google docs somewhere?
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 19 October 2015 21:49 (eight years ago) link
not sure what you're talking about
― Οὖτις, Monday, 19 October 2015 21:50 (eight years ago) link
No webform to my knowledge, people just email you with whatever they think is the correct format/whatever format.
― :wq (Leee), Monday, 19 October 2015 21:51 (eight years ago) link
yeah honestly most of the work is just getting everyone's ballots into a consistent format, correcting spelling/grammer errors to make everything consistent etc.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 19 October 2015 21:52 (eight years ago) link
seandalai uses a webform for metal poll and the big poll. Frobisher wants to use that. So hopefully seandalai will see this
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 19 October 2015 21:54 (eight years ago) link
A webform *would* be an excellent idea, though! xp
― :wq (Leee), Monday, 19 October 2015 21:55 (eight years ago) link
if done properly people copy and paste nominations directly from the spreadsheet to voting form and that saves the hassle of correcting peoples mistakes.
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 19 October 2015 21:58 (eight years ago) link
Yeah I had that with the epics poll, but I still got ballots where people typed in the entries.
― :wq (Leee), Monday, 19 October 2015 21:59 (eight years ago) link
you always get some dick who doesnt do it and just dumps a list they made for elsewhere, but you just ignore those - fuck them if they dont follow instructions imo.
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 19 October 2015 21:59 (eight years ago) link
(you can see why i get someone else to help out with the forms side lol )
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 19 October 2015 22:00 (eight years ago) link
That wouldn't have been very epic of me!
― :wq (Leee), Monday, 19 October 2015 22:03 (eight years ago) link
Oh hey, sorry I'm not on ILX much as I used to be...Anyway, it's really easy to make a Google Form to log the ballots (go to Google Docs and select New->Form iirc), though you do have to create a new one each time.
The code I use for tabulating big polls is not particularly user-friendly (though I should put it up on github or somewhere anyway), I think the Excel spreadsheet is going to be be much easier to use. Happy to answer questions though.
― pep ponk aliyev (seandalai), Monday, 19 October 2015 22:06 (eight years ago) link
I am really bad at math and don't know Excel at all but I had no trouble running the Elvis Costello poll using the spreadsheet.
― kornrulez6969, Monday, 19 October 2015 23:00 (eight years ago) link
ok, I finally got the voting thread set up. If anybody wants to come check it out and also vote (pleeeeassse!!) its here:The ILM Extreme Metal Poll Voting, Discussion and Campaigning Thread

Can someone set up a P.O. Box for those of us who wish to vote, but don't have a computer?

Are Gukbe and Billy Dods around at the moment? Would be happy to get the Nirvana poll going but don't want to jump the queue.
― Gavin, Leeds, Tuesday, 20 October 2015 13:23 (eight years ago) link
If you wouldn't mind I would jump the queue
― how's life, Tuesday, 20 October 2015 13:30 (eight years ago) link
Nirvana poll pleez! So so stoked for that one
― bunny slopes, Tuesday, 20 October 2015 15:26 (eight years ago) link
obviously everyone is eager for someone to jump the queue
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 20 October 2015 15:28 (eight years ago) link
Jump the queue! I'm still mired in life muck.
― Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Friday, 23 October 2015 13:24 (eight years ago) link
Let's start a new poll. I'm sure the extreme metal one is absolutely dynamite but it is taking a long time and life is short.
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 23 October 2015 13:52 (eight years ago) link
OK cool, I'll get the Nirvana one going.
― Gavin, Leeds, Friday, 23 October 2015 17:20 (eight years ago) link

it involves having to copy and paste for a start!
