Subject: October SOTM RESULTS POSTED

Written By: Below Average Dave on 11/09/10 at 8:02 pm

Note to new participants: Welcome, and good luck. Please read all guidelines carefully. Especially, please make sure to read all the entries and vote by the end of the month. The SOTM is not so much a contest as a feedback exchange. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, either in this thread or via personal message. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

~~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.

~~You're not allowed to vote for your own song.

~~Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it.

~~Voting continues until the last day of the month ends.

~~Anyone who's participated in a SOTM contest may vote.

~~By entering, you are agreeing to read and comment on all the other entries and vote.

~~Anyone who enters but does not both comment on all entries and vote by the end of the month is disqualified and may not participate next month, while all points will be forfeited, an entrant who has been disqualified may still participate next month if (s)he goes back and comments on all entrants from the month (s)he got disqualified prior to the end of the entry field (s)he is trying to get involved in.

~~In the event of a tie, the parody with the most first place votes wins.
If it's still tied, the parody with the most second place votes wins. and so on
If the points total and votes are identical, it will be left as a legitimate tie

~~Any entrant whose votes don't show a time stamp prior to midnight on the last day of the month (ie. according to the "inthe00's meantime" clock as it appears BEFORE you log in - not a timezone corrected version) is disqualified, no exceptions.

~~A medal known as the FUCA shall be awarded to the highest ranking parody which did not make the month's podium and is of an original song which has not previously earned any medal

Wow, great round everybody, I think a lot of your eight parodies could have been on the podium for several of the other months this year, I'm almost getting a bit of guilty conscience for bringing such a short last minute ditty to the table myself, Dave's comment about the lack of length is right on and hits home, October was a busy month IRL so I grabbed the P&P idea from my muse's backburner but I can see now that compared to the rest of the stuff this time I don't even deserve any consolation points.

And now, here's my voting:

1 point to "Igor's Girl"

2 points to "Crunchalicious"

3 points to "Putrid Ghoul"

4 points to "Pissed at you"

5 points to "Watch for Chucky"

Where is Jeff? I'm planning on hitting the hay around 1 o'clock so if he hasn't voted by then is first place rank will be revoked. Come on buddy! I really don't want to do that!

One of your 5 points was accidentally counted as 1 while one of Mark's 1 counts was counted as 5. . .I double checked my math, and that's where the error happened, the math still equaled 120 total points--so I didn't catch , surprisingly there were no 2 and 4 error, which normally is what happens when I don't catch someone's vote in the opposite direction. . .I am so sorry TCOP, since this knocks your song to 4th. . .and I am sorry Jeff for miscounting your points as well as Mark Scotti--I am working so much on the site, trying to get it ready in time; I am truly sorry for misposting the results:(

Apologies for not commenting and voting this month.

Life took a little turn and never got the chance to come back.

I do say thanks to those who voted on my parody, and I look forward to participating in future contests. 

Once again apologies.

I thought I'd commented here already.. anyway, congrats Matti et al

I'll let Paul & Ian know that I won a FUCA with my parody to their poem.. I'm sure it'll raise a grin

Have another parody to a song my one of my fellow performers.. difficulty is that this one isn't even on the web, anywhere.  yet.  Doesn't help that the OS is considerably funnier than the parody, but it was a parody that just had to be done.
