Subject: ABC5 (H) Votes Totaled

Written By: Matthias on 05/29/09 at 10:37 pm

Welcome to the
ABC5 (H)
Voting Thread



Voting deadline for ABC5(D) is midnight (amiright time)  Thursday June 12th
No votes date-stamped after the voting deadline will be accepted - no exceptions



Vote by replying to this thread with your five favorites in order:

1st choice........5 points
2nd place.........4 points
3rd place..........3 points
4th place..........2 points
5th place..........1 point

or in algebraic terms, p = 6 - r     (p=points, r=rank)



RULES
- Any parody beginning with the current letter is eligible, except parodies that have been entered into ABC1 or ABC2 or ABC3
- You're not allowed to vote for your own parody
- Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it
- Anyone who's participated in any previous ABC contest may vote
- Any entrant who hasn't left a comment on all entries is disqualified and may not participate in the next letter
- Any entrant who doesn't vote by the voting deadline (above) is disqualified and may not participate in the next letter



ALSO
Under no circumstances will a vote that missed the voting deadline be accepted (even by 1 second)
However the resulting disqualification from entry to the next ABC4 comp may be over-ruled, if you do the following...

  1.  Post an "appeal" on this thread giving your excuse for missing the deadline, and plead for mercy
  2.  If your plea wins the sympathy of 3 other entrants your disqualification from the next round will be overturned
       Your late votes will still not count though  
       (if less than 4 entrants in the comp, only 2 sympathetic "Thumbs Ups" are required)


and the entries are.........

:-[  I'm not sure I'm going to find the time to vote by Thursday night.   :\'(

I have two comprehensive teacher-licensing tests on Saturday, and I have to read my worksheets and study guides.  I also need to prepare material for my screenwriting class tomorrow, AND I might be "babysitting" my teenaged niece and nephew for a few days starting tomorrow night.

So, in case I don't make the deadline, I'm pleading mercy for the next round.  Truthfully, I don't know if I'll have time to pick an "I" song carefully; I may have to do it haphazardly, if at all.   :o


Addendum: I've chosen an "I" song after all; it took me about ten minutes!  ::)

pssss. . .don't give up just yet, it's only Tuesday. . .but if you have an "I" entry, ask after the official results have been posted--officially mercy/sympathy votes to allow an over-ride of a DQ can't be cast until the DQ has actually happened, you still have 56 hours so obviously at this time you have not been DQ'd, good luck with everything, Melanie, Stuff happens-we all understand that.
