Bilbo Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Some are probably only voting once because they haven't read the guidance. Quote
Dad3353 Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 But are some voting only twice, then..? How does that stack up..? Quote

Can we compensate with an arbitrary allocation of missing votes..? Is this how the EU referendum will be run..? Is there a pilot in the cockpit..? Who's running this show, anyway..?

lurksalot Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 If a voter has actually identified a run away favourite for themselves , it might mean that they read the rules as if they could use up to 3 votes but choose just 1 , you yourself lamented that the 3 votes could not go on 1 entry , therefore casting just 1 vote would actually provide sole benefit to the track of preference Quote

I wuz tempted, that's all, and resisted the temptation. Success..! The idea of voting is, I would suggest, more a means of providing approbation and encouragement rather than electing a 'winner'; all entries are 'winners' by their very existence..! This is not a micro-FIFA; no votes at all does not mean 'loser' (I have my pride..! ). Still a bit of a mystery, though. Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Perhaps all un-cast votes should be allocated to the song that has the dubbiest feel... Quote

Dad3353 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) And the winner is... the boy..! [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167486] Quite closely run again; the standard is very high. A well-deserved win for an excellent piece... Here ,then, is your Winner's Certificate (download and save as pdf file, then proudly print and frame...) ... [attachment=193299:BC_Chal_Cert_2015_05.pdf] ... which looks like this (but bigger, of course..!)... [attachment=193300:BC_Chal_Cert_2015_05.jpg] Another fine bunch of entries this month so, although I didn't doubt for a minute which one I personally thought best, there was still a very high standard from the other works. Felicitations are due to all who entered. Once again, all entries got votes, so showing that they are all appreciated. Edited May 31, 2015 by Dad3353 Quote
Skol303 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Posted May 31, 2015 Well done the boy! Great track and a deserving win. Please message me with your choice of image for the next challenge and I'll launch the new thread in the Rec forum tomorrow morning. Well done also to everyone else. It was a close-run month and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them all Quote
BirchTree Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Congratulations to The Boy! It was a very hearty piece, one of my favorites. It was a close run this month, I wondered if we weren't going to have a dead heat. Looking forward to what next month brings! Quote
paul h Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Yay! Congratulations...a well deserved win. But in some ways all the entries were winners Not in the literal sense though Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Excellent stuff from al, yet again! Let's hope the next pic is something chaotic so I can do some noisecore or free improv... Quote
lurksalot Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Well done that Boy , Great track brilliantly sung , a very worthy winner A further pat on the back to all the entries , another quality month of new music Quote
the boy Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Thank you guys, I'm delighted. I'll post Skol a pic some time this morning. There were some lovely entries this month so well done to all. Yeeehaaaa....... Quote
