I'm not convinced by the new rules. Three votes to be saved is ok, but casting two votes is not enough. One round is going to last more than two days, which is unnecessarily long. And the consequence is that one guy can still protect one song until we've reached Top 15. We are 11 voters each day. When there are 16 songs left, in 2 days 10 voters can cast 40 votes (42 if we add the 2 votes used by the guy who protects one song for other songs). 3x15=45 votes are needed to save every other song than the protected one. We need a third voting day, so one guy can cast three votes for one song and save it at will.
I strongly militate for casting three votes in the next round. 8-) {[]

I don't really have any idea what's going on, but I'll cast two votes (is that correct? How did 'Nobody Does It Better' get saved this round?? Where did the five 'ones' come from all of a sudden?? I'm confused. One set of rules per game is better, IMO )

That's right, you cast two votes. Nobody does it better had 2 votes before I added mine. JFF had voted without taking account of the vote of Tee Hee. I corrected this

[JFF has edited his previous post, so you can skip mine]
JFF, sorry to insist but it's essential that we cast 3 votes for different songs. It doesn't make sense to allow two votes for the same song, we could protect songs almost as easily as in the direct saving system.
I've logged on to vote, but find that the rules have changed overnight (in this time zone). Anyone care to clarify? I think I should give two songs one vote each...? ?:)
I don't understand this, however from what I gather, I'm meant to vote three times? ?:) (I'm voting for GF, LALD and TMWTGG.)

I was waiting for JFF's clarification, but since he hasn't answered yet, I do it myself. At least for this round :
THREE POINTS GIVEN, ONE PER SONG AND NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE TWO POINTS TO ONE SONG. THREE POINTS NEEDED TO BE SAVED. YOU VOTE ONCE PER DAY. YOU CAN VOTE THREE TIMES AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY, FOR THE SAME THREE SONGS IF YOU WANT (BUT AGAIN NOT MORE THAN ONE POINT PER DAY PER SONG)
John Drake, Tee Hee, JFF, Loeffelholz (and myself) have voted only twice today, they can cast one more vote.

I think the reason for the confusion has been that there isn't really one person in charge. Sweepy started the game but it has become an orphan. Someone (JFF, M722, whoever) needs to take control, determine exactly what rules should be imposed, and explain them clearly. The other games worked well, because while other people might offer suggestions, there was really only one person who was in charge, and he was for all intents and purposes the dictator. A benevolent dictator perhaps, but a dictator nonetheless.

Can JFF officially take over the game now and it becomes his just as if he had created it? Games run more efficiently IMO if they are run by a single dictator, rather than committees.
One more detail. In order to read easily one's three votes, it would be useful to write (+1) after the name of the songs when you cast your votes.

John Drake, Tee Hee and Loeffelholz, if you vote today, you have a bonus fourth vote because you voted twice yesterday before we allowed three votes per day (the bonus vote shouldn't be given to one of the two songs you chose yesterday) -{

I have read through some of the previous posts and just joining I hope I did this right. If you need to correct me please do, but three votes per day (not more than one per song per day) and three points saves right?

Good, cos my old brain wasn't sure it had grasped this. No surprise that you went on to save AVTAK ! (Not that it isn't a great song, of course)
Dan Same, I share your point of view.
JFF, could you sum up the rules in one post, precising if we use the +/- method for Top 10 (which worked well in the Bond Girl Elimination Game IMO) ?
One more detail. In order to read easily one's three votes, it would be useful to write (+1) after the name of the songs when you cast your votes.
