I spoke the words but never gave a thought to what they all could mean

#1 I vote for @@Reiisawh_re I like this Kinoko Teikoku's track really much. It's one of my fav from them.

#2 I vote for @Codephat. Though Soad is a band of my teenage years, i prefer Cody's track.

#3 i vote for @Mystical, Frank Zappa's track is superior but The Strokes track is good either way.

#4 I vote for @Malarkey. Amaranthe track is just , heh. While the other classic..

#5

#6 I vote for @Sad, this Fleetwood Mac's track is one of the greatest to ever exist imo.

#7 I vote for @Salvatia. @Crajj track is crap.

#8 I vote for @Snappynator. Nightwish track is just better sounding and structured than the Two Door Cinema Club track, in my perspectives.

Just a reminder to use the polls, which are linked underneath the songs. Don't make the same mistake as Gracey.

Wow, these are some tight contests right now. Several are just one or two votes apart.

Wait, so you can vote more than once? That's kinda dumb considering how people might actually (for sure) vote more than once, I didn't realize that it actually works like that so I tried and I gave a free vote..

I put the settings on each poll to enable people only to vote once according to their IP.

Also, it claims to tell me how many voters there have been, so I could tell if there had been multiple votes by the same person. If it allows multiple votes, that's a problem with the site and we'll have to do something else.


But this is what it's set to, for reference.

It's much easier and more reliable to just let people list each winner in the thread and count them.

I suggested the name thing in the chat thread but welp.

It was set to this from the beginning.

I explained why usernames are with the songs in the chat thread, not going over that again.

As for stating in the thread, polls are a much more efficient way of doing it if we can get it working. Doesn't clutter up the thread, doesn't take nearly as much time for the voters or me. Also you can vote privately, as opposed to open ballot.


Is it letting people vote twice? If so, I'll change it. I tried voting more than once in a test run and it didn't let me.

It let me vote twice, I gave one vote to Clockwerk and one vote to Codephat
So if you can change so that only we can vote 1 time, that'd be nice.
Also, I think the polls need to be remake cause people probably abused it from the start, so it's kinda not fair..

Updated OP to do voting in thread. Will not be changing usernames because it is readily apparent who is facing who in the bracket anyway and this is how it was done last time without problems.

Thank you to everyone for alerting my attention to the polling issue. Don't know why it prevented me from voting twice but not you guys.
