Tell me what you think about the Tie Run-Off, and when.
Edited on Thu Jan-26-06 06:42 PM by crispini
So, I'm thinking about:
1) Taking the top 10 vote-getters from BOTH polls.
2) Creating TWO IDENTICAL POLLS. That way we get two votes.
3) The top two vote-getters -- WHEN THE POLLS ARE ADDED TOGETHER -- are the winners.

Does that make sense?

The only thing I'm concerned about is, I don't wanna send him two ties that are really similar. Maybe we should have two categories instead? I mean, we have several brown-like ties. Or am I overthinking this? Maybe two similar ties is OK? I mean, even if two ties are similar, he might really like one and dislike the other.

Oh, and when should I post the final poll? I won't be around tonight for the show, but I'll be by afterwards.

1. I could go for the idea of a GSB category and an "other" category.
So the point of getting two votes is that we get to pick two ties? I'm a little sleep-deprived this week. Actually, I'm a lot sleep-deprived this week. I haven't even seen Countdown a few nights, although I did rewind the tape to watch the domestic/international memo "interpretation". Ah, but that was classic, and shockingly snarky for its placement in the show; he's usually pretty serious during the first 15 minutes.

2. Yes, we pick two ties.
And would need two polls because you can only vote once in the regular kind of polls.

I can't quite figure out how to do "categories" though... FOUR polls? Now we're getting a little crazy!

7. How about tonight?
We need to make a decision before KO is another year older! By the way, who's collecting the moolah for the tie fund?
