It's now saying there are 8 hours left ... I guess that puts us at 3pm Eastern? Craziness.

@Zaid pretend I made some joke about how you'll see my ascension in cleansing fire. Or something funny. I'm tapped.

@BobCross - Long day?

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 let's just say that I keep saying up the chain "I seem to be surrounded by people with lots of time on their hands..."

This election ended 20 mins ago.

Download the election data and use OpenSTV for windows or mac to audit the results.


1,189 voters were eligible, 455 visited the site during the election, 327 visited the election page, and 200 voted

@BobCross - Because you have absolutely none. They are going to be pissed when you pull a Ducati on them and up/leave one day.

So voter turnout was roughly 20%. Not too shabby
Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2
Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2
Not bad.

But 127 people went to the page but didn't vote?
Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2
Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2
I would have hoped for more
They may not have had the rep?
I know, 300 points to vote, right?
Or was it 150 points?
Whatever ... not a large amount.
Nick C
Nick C
Ah, maybe...

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 can't do that. People are counting on me. People that I'm not walking away from. I'd just like to hear a little more of the clicks and clacks from keyboards and a little less about someone's softball team.
Make that "a lot more" and "a lot less"

@BobCross - I completely understand.
I've often had the same reaction serving my time in the Guberment

I'm not allowed as much of my previous coping mechanism: lots and lots of caffeine.

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2
I downloaded the election results ... not sure if I could even start to interpret.

Presumably they will announce them properly soon?

Wait, if the existing crew is getting replaced, am I replacing myself? It's like playing musical chairs by yourself! ;-)
@NickC thanks!

I got 4 votes! Probably 1 legit and 3 mis-clicks. :D
Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2
Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2
@tlhIngan - Probably ... :o)

What about me?
Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2
Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2
You only got two ... Or maybe a couple more ... :o)

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 those must be from my sock puppet account :)

@Zaid Other way around ... Larry enlisted Bob.
@Zaid - It's a 3k flat file.
Well, fairly flat.

Round 1 is the real vote count. Starting in Round 2 they are applying VooDoo.
I mean how the heck do you get fractions of a vote?
Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Holy crap on the 1st round ... dang.
Yes ... voodoo
And what the heck is a "surplus vote" ... sounds like our political process here in the States!
tlhIngan
tlhIngan
@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 You got 99 votes, but the threshold for election was 51, so you had 48 surplus votes that will get redistributed.
Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2
Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2
@tlhIngan - VooDoo I tell yah.

I'll have to look at it in more detail later. The only thing I can tell atm is that I was last to be eliminated
Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

That's what I saw as well.
