    IMO the voting system created for the Bond Girl Elimination Game is excellent (successive rounds where we save songs and the last song is eliminated; and +/- system when we reach top 10). I think we could perfect it by implementing JennyFlexFan's idea in the whole first stage of the game : every song has to have three (even better than two IMO) points added to it before it can be saved. The last one to be saved would be eliminated. We vote once per day going by the site clock for three (respectively two) different songs (you can vote for the same songs the following day day if they are not saved yet). This way one round wouldn't take more time than in the Bond Girl Elimination Game, but we would avoid the main bias of the previous game : the key in a 40 contender field is more to have a dedicated follower than to be appreciated by the majority, consequently any girl or song can reach directly the top 10. In some cases, if we all had to vote in a one vs one contest between a top 10 girl and a 25th for example, the result might be surprising. With the three votes/three needed to be saved, the song eliminated would reflect much better the views of the majority. I think there are only pros in this possible evolution of the voting system :) . And it would be a pleasure to vote for more songs each day :D

    Hello all ~

    Thanks for the apology about AVTAK. It's long overdue, but an apology's an apology. ;) :D

    Anyway, as we've already started with the regular method... Sweepy, songs are eliminated when there's only one more song left in the "still left" pile. That song becomes the first eliminated.

    Now, (thank you for the compliments M722), Bond Girl Elimination Game started with the rule that you had to add two to a song in order to save it, but you were also given the ability to spread could also spread those two points around when you voted, being able to add one point to two individual songs or add a point to one and subtract from another, BUT you could never subtract both points from one song or add two points to one song.

    After a few rounds of that, we went with the method we're using now.

    I say after this round, I shall institute the "beginning" rules of the Bond Girl Game into this one and it'll be loads of fun. :D

    IMO we shouldn't have the possibility to substract points before the top 10, it would become too complicated and the game could last forever, especially in the case of a giant retaliation war {[] (when everyone adds one and substracts one).

    The key of this system would be that you can't vote more than once per day for one given song (otherwise it's pointless to have two or three votes, you don't have anymore the benefit that one guy is not able to promote the worst song into the top 10).

    And I think three votes (and three to be saved) is much better than two (and two to be saved) because there are more songs than people to vote for. So, in practice, as long as we've not reached the point when one round doesn't last longer than one day, one guy can still artificially qualify the worst song by voting for it two days in a row. Moreover once we've reached that point the further eliminations would still respect much more the view of the majority.

    And yes, we're voting by the site clock. Also, when I said people could subtract, no one really did in the old game, so we'll just do adding. :D

    Afraid so. Don't worry about it, however if you eliminate GF (or another song I love) you will have something to be concerned about. :v

    I don't know about that.

    JFF, could you clarify whether we can vote in multiple rounds on the same day?

    That's not true. In the Bond Girl Elimination Game we could only vote once per day, regardless of how many rounds there were. I think we should assume that's the rule for this game as well.

    I must once again admit that I'm confused (and we wouldn't want that, would we :D ?). Son Of Barbel's not here anyway- he's enjoying his education at this moment- and hopefully AlisonDoodyFollower :)) can clarify soon.
