We have a winner: You and I (Must Die) by House of Mammoth! ~Halloween and All Saints Day may have helped prepare the terrain for this one...~
Anyways: Congratulations to @walden@sub.wetshaving.social, who is on a run with his second consecutive win β will he be able to secure the hat-trick?
Here are the results of the wetshaving jury:
@snooting@sub.wetshaving.social β could you reach out to Walden and give him your address?
Oh cool. I didn't even have a chance to vote though!
Sorry - I didn't even check π©
Ifyou want to go ahead and vote, please do so, and I will adjust the results, if necessary
No that's ok. I saw it last night and was too tired to think about it!
This tub was free from Ben, so it's a perfect winner.
π
Next time, I should probably announce the deadline
Yeah definitely. @walden@wetshaving.social do you have matrix set up?
You should be able to go to his profile page, and there should be a ΓΈatrix link.
Ah, yes I see it now. Thanks. It wasn't showing up in my mobile client.
First off, thanks for organising these every time. Your efforts have my utmost respect and none of what follows is meant to be a personal critique. It's all meant in good faith.
I have to issue a few minor complaints:
These are just minor issues, but I guess like every club we need to follow at least a bare minimum of rules. BVWSC has been really great so far and I find it charming how open and inviting our Lemmy community is.
Perhaps those are only personal issues though; I am of course open to discussion with other members and receptive for constructive feedback. Cheers & have a nice evening βπ»
Yeah, these are valid complaints.
Next time, I will announce before how much time ther is or voting, maybe something like 48 h?
Also, I'll check how different ways of counting votes interact with partial votes.
I will put up a thread for discussion soon.
Thanks!
I personally think 48 hours would be enough for everyone to make their choice in a timely manner.
Maybe something like 2 token points for every unranked soap would be okay. I think this wouldn't mess with the general voting consensus, of course depending on how many soaps are suggested.
That's a great idea with a discussion thread! I am sure we'd find a good consensus based on democratic decision making. Thanks again for coming up with the idea of BVWSC ππ»
I'll launch it in a few days, so that we can have a new and better procedure for next time.
