Most Loved XV | May 2018 | Countdown Tonight, 5pm

[Ashley.]

Pushing the deadline back a day to this coming Friday as I'm both busy on Thursday and massively short of votes compared to the first round (there's a difference of about 30 votes at the moment. :laugh:) so I don't want to bring it forward - so what I'll do is close this round Friday morning and then get started with the write ups Friday evening. I'll get through as many as I can over the weekend but I may be quite busy, so may have to finish up the last of them next Monday evening (28th) or early Tuesday morning.

As it stands, the countdown will take place on the Tuesday 29th May. xx

[Babayaro.]

Get PMing people Ashley!

[Lostie!]

I'm voting soon bloody back off!

Still true

[Ashley.]

Tidbits:
- There are currently only 24 points separating #1 and #5.
- The Top 5 are all in the 100+ points zone.
- 18 members of the 50 have been in the Top 10 at one point or another.
- The member who has so far received the most Round 2 points isn't in the Top 10.

[RileyH]

- The member who has so far received the most Round 2 points isn't in the Top 10.

How does that work

:tidbitcup:

[Babayaro.]

How does that work

This

It just means that they have the most votes in round 2 and not both rounds combined. So, they might have got loads of 7-10 points but only got 5/6 votes in the first round.

[Ashley.]

How does that work

This

Both Round 1 & Round 2 points are totalled. The countdown isn't based solely on one or the other but a calculation of both.

We should all just enjoy it for what it is Twosugars; a bit of fun with the added bonus of showing some appreciation for members who we like or admire.

The end result is totally meaningless in the 'Grand Scheme of Things' because no one's life is going to be changed one way or the other because they didn't win these - hell, no one's standing on this forum is even going to be affected.

It's been fun to see Nicky's nervous apprehension that he may not do well and to witness T.S's jokey OTT obsequious grovelling on here, and I have joined in with it, but it does not mean diddley-squat where either of us ends up. (I would like to beat the twot though :laugh:)

Yes as I recall I was 11th last year which in itself was a disgrace as i should have been top 3 but with my 2019 campaign aimed at the youth I think i will have no problems. Being a champion of many minorities and a speaker of truth and justice lends itself to such contests.

Tidbits (or pointless pieces of information that you'll never need to know again):
- This year's Top 50 includes four former winners: Shaun (ML2, ML4), Niamh (ML5), LukeB (ML13) and Lostie! (ML14).
- Three members have won ML twice: Ammi, Shaun & Z.
- The Top 50 also contains fourteen new entries, tied with ML5 and ML11 for the highest number of new entries since ML3. This ML does however hold the record for most re-entries with eleven... so there's that.

:nono: it takes alot of work to organise this, Ashley has to do writes up for each of the 50 as well as counting all the votes and putting them into an ever changing order, and she has to fit it in around her life while giving people enough time to vote in round 2 so they don't moan :nono:

Sorry you are not having a great day

[Mokka]

Voted. It was actually hard to pick just 10... that's why it took so long.
Good luck with hosting Ashley! You are a gem for doing it :love:

I didn't mean to throw any shade on Ashley and her hard work. Sorry if it sounded like that. Ashley, you're doing a great job!
I was questioning the format, that's all.

Not sure how it could be changed though,

1st round to whittle it down to 50
2nd round find your 10 and write a nice sentence (or war and peace in Kirks and Marus case :hehe:) about them

It's fine TS(2) :love: You're not the first to complain about the format actually, and I have been thinking about what I could do to refresh the format should I do this again next year.

seems to me the interest declined during 2nd round, that's why I thought maybe one round is about right
and maybe make it more interactive, e.g. have a list of 50 or less and then play a +1/-1 type final?
just a thought :shrug:

I'm just jesting mate.

I've just had a pm from ToySoldier though on this very subject and his proposal is that the rules need changing so that members can vote for anyone ------whose initials are T.S. :laugh: so that narrows it down.

The amount of ties there were after the first round (including a tie for #1), it just wouldn't work to have just one. Plus, Round 2 gives people a concrete list to vote from containing people that they may have forgot to vote for in the first round. The current format works... it's been the same for almost ten years. If I were to change anything it would be minor details.

As for the interest declining, I disagree. In the first round I received 55 votes, and in the second round I received 49. People aren't going to carry on keeping this thread active, most are just waiting for the countdown.

Makes sense, Ash. I love this thread though LT does liven it up (as he does most threads.)
