If you even try it, you're banned from all elimination games.

So was the LTK point taken out and then Barbel re-added it?

Diidn't touch it. I spotted this and simply brought it to your attention without amending any scores.

I believe what happened was that Son Of Barbel saved LTK. In the same go, he gave a point to James Bond Theme and OHMSS, which means that LTK should be on zero points and Son Of Barbel should then be able to give a point to a third film.

It doesn't make sense. Son Of Barbel applied the rule yesterday by giving three points in two different rounds. Why should he vote once more (or have a fourth vote to compensate today) ? The rule is : no more than three votes a day, even if we start a new round.

He (and I) don't understand either, which is why he said what he did above. I've tucked him in and battered him unconscious for the night, but I know he'll happily accept losing one of his nominations or perhaps only geting two choices tomorrow.

Votes for FRWL (saved), FYE and TMWTGG which makes me think, how is someone going to eliminate someone on this next one? I assume by not voting for one and voting for two others maybe?

M722

Votes for TMWTGG and LTK. Both are saved. FYEO is eliminated. I open a new round and give my third vote to MR

FYEO DIES AND THOSE OTHER BAD SONGS LIVE? Now it's JFF with a vengeance. X-(

With all due respect JFF, I can't recall one time that you didn't have an axe to grind. We've come to know the vengeful JFF quite well.

JFF, you have some questionable tastes when it comes to Bond music (You like the score to NSNA, you will defend Eric Serra to the end), but it is your confession of love for Nina's "Do You Know How Christmas Trees Are Grown" that takes the cake as one of your lowest moments on AJB! )

True... I definitely have a different viewpoint on Bond than most. I do like NSNA's score but I do believe some of it was inappropriate for the movie, I adore Serra's score, and I like "Christmas Trees", I've never loved it! I've always thought it a jolly little song and Barry's synth arrangement of it is done remarkably well! It gives it a haunting feel, IMO. Lowest moments? Maybe. But the vengeful JFF is here to stay for the duration of this game (but apparently, he/she/it was already here).

He is not responsible for that, so he should have his three choices tomorrow, unless JFF writes something else.

Ugh... this is more complicated than Octopussy.

So wait... in that time when there was the ORIGINAL controversy about who voted for what. Did Son of Barbel vote for LTK to be saved? If so it's too late to correct it... this game is just way too confusing to go back to try and make sense of anything. I think we should definitely continue but it would've helped if we had stable rules from the beginning.

By the current state of things, you just may have your work cut out for you Loeffs.

And of course you will inevitably meet with some strong opposition from the dreaded JennyFlexFan! )

Of course he has saved LTK, Jarvio's (+1) on the right didn't mean "add 1 to (2) on the left", but "(1) is now (2) because I added one".

Perhaps we should move on as this is becoming like the Kennedy assassination. ) Whether he made a mistake or not, let's just accept that Son Of Barbel had one extra vote yesterday, and make sure that the voting system continues to works in later rounds.

I've given points to GF, OHMSS and TMWTGG. OHMSS is now saved.

I can not believe that FYEO (arguably one of the 8 best Bond songs/themes of all time) has been eliminated already. X-(

Yeah of course let's play on. But you can't write "Whether he made mistake or not" If there is one sure thing, it's that he didn't make any mistake
