There is an alternative to first-to-a-total voting - timed voting. Perhaps voting open for one hour per tie, with longer periods as the rounds go on? I would have to give advance notice of each tie.

I'm loath to keep changing the rules but I don't think changing at this stage would affect much - all the early ties have been quite one-sided. I think first to nine works well for the time being. I suppose I could change it to timed voting for the second round - albeit that is about two months away, at a tie a day.

Incidentally, owing to work commitments in the afternoon, I will try and do tomorrow's tie at noon.

Do it!

In fact, since youre only doing one a day, and youre not waiting for one tie to finish so u can get on with posting the next tie, a two-hour window would be a good idea.
There's no reason not to change it now. That way more ppl can vote, and yet we wont have a situation where we're begging ppl to vote so that we can move on.

Nothing wrong with a two-hour window. Very fair I think.
Just try it for the next tie, doesnt matter that we keep changing the rules. The rules have to evolve, way more posters on here nowadays than when this started.

Sensible refereeing! Clap

Nobody can complain about the vote being over too quickly then. Very democratic. Could make for some interesting scores too.

If there is a tie, it will then be a free vote, first to 9. Everyone can vote again.

Edit: rule change, ties will be decided by whoever was the first to reach nine votes..... votes will stay open if the tie is lower than 9-9.

Um. How about a count back in the event of a tie? That is the first person to nine within the initial two hour period?
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me...

Just my 2 cents on the matter, but I preferred it when we didn't know when a round was going to take place. Kept us on our toes.
Maybe that's cos I haven't been around to vote for any tie yet.

There are literally no good pictures of Clare.

I suppose seeing as it is now a timed vote, there is nothing to stop posters putting up their own pictures.
