Subject: March 2012 SOTM Voting Thread--Results Posted!

Written By: jreuben on 04/11/12 at 8:23 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

No way!  I demand a recount!  ;)

Thanks so much to all of you...I heart you boys!!

Nice basically more or less tying with you Arwen!!!

Congrats to 2nz for making his Hitchhiker's Guide parody win! Even Marvin would be happy to see that!

Congratulations to you, Arwen my deer. Well deserved. And congratulations also to you, Matt the Haunted. Great fun this round.

I'm very surprised that my H2G2 parody appealed to enough of you to podium. I'd known there were several authors on the site who had read the books, but I'm happy to find more than I'd expected are familiar with it. As such, if any of you have not yet done so, please go here, and write a parody about H2G2 to a Beatles song, so I can mooch off it and increase the size of my, I mean OUR project to 42 songs. So... become AWESOME and help me out. Details are outlined in the thread. YAY!

Here's the link to the messageboard again: http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=45921.0

P.S. Matt and Peter are ALREADY AWESOME!

Arwen demanded a recount, so I did one and...I counted TCOPs votes backwards.  I apologize for screwing that up. 

Congratulations to 2nz for grabbing the gold, Matty for sticking with silver, and Arwen for hanging onto the bronze.

I guess that only makes sense since the spaceship is called the "Heart of Gold". Well done 2nz. I was a big fan of this project so I'm glad you were able to take the lead!

NP Jeff. Thanks for all the time you put into updating this stuff, even when you're not entered. The voting totals are so close this time around, it's basically a shared 1st place between me, Matty and Arwen. Congrats to us all. And I'm sorry for dethroning you, Arwen. You're still awesome, and very deer to all of us guys.

And thanks, Matty. Congrats on persisting at 2nd and thanks for your continued support of the project, and your awesome parody contributions.

Congrats to Arwen, Matty, and 2nz for getting on that podium! And another congrats is in order for TCOP and Porfle for getting the FUCA for this month tieing at 4th! Good job everyone, and hopefully my next entry won't be such a disappointment.

Congrats, boys...I am always honored to podium at all! We've been doing this together for a long time, but since we're all still having fun, it never gets old.  :)

No apology needed, 2nzy...you dethroned me fair & square!

Finally, Jeff, thanks for doing the recount...and just because I asked for it, to boot..haha. Heart you!
