Back in the good old days, we had a variety of contests that placed the FOFC mambers into two groups: Odds versus Evens (as determined by your member number... mine is #66, for instance). I was recently thinking about a way to make one of these contests pretty much completely self-executing... and this is what I've come up with.
The poll in this thread will allow each FOFC member to vote once somewhere among the ten options listed. The twist is that there are five separate contests going on simultaneously... and (hopefully) you will be restricted to only one vote from among the five separate contests.
Sunday, I will tally the results - and declare the winner in this thread. The side with the highest vote count in each "round" will receive the score indicated - highest total score wins, of course. If there is a tie in any round, no points will be awarded for that round to either side.
For participants, I have two requests:
-If you post here at FOFC under multiple names, please only vote in the poll with your main name... this game will work much better if it retains its intended integrity
-If you want to post any issues of strategy, I request that you do it in this thread - so we can all see what's being discussed. It's fine to go elsewhere to recruit people to visit this thread... but if you're going to coorindate efforts (suggestin that people come and make particular vote), please do all that within this thread.
If there are any questions of rules or protocol, I will be the final arbiter. I set the poll to be active for 2 days-- meaning that some time on Sunday (QDT) will be the cutoff point. If it's 48 hours on the button, that will be slightly after 9am EDT, but I don't know how these polls really work.
Enjoy.
