2012 DWPS - Poll B1 REDO: "Soe" (Marshy) vs. Melissa Clarke (Cal)

OK, the image in the last thread fucked up somehow, which gave Melissa Clarke an unfair disadvantage. I have voided and removed the previous poll and restarted it. It will run until the original time was up, which 8AM on the 9th January. Because of the glitch, I am unable to find one of Phants original images (the one I did find broke the 'decency' rules). I apologise for this and have substituted with an image of my choosing. Apologies on both counts

No tiebreakers as yet. Poll closes 48 hours after time of posting.

This is why I reset the poll, was 6-0 without an image, but it's 5-4 with.

That means people voted without even seeing a photo of both women...

First time round I googled the other woman

Good thing I had the extra time on it :D - extended by 12 hours due to tie at end of regulation.

Given that Soe was one up until late this morning, if it is still tied tonight, I will give her the tiebreaker. Seems unfair, but I see no other method to do it.

Hint: get on the forum more :p

Everyone just needs to get their friends to sign up and vote!

POLL CLOSED - Soe by tiebreak.

Right...

Could just extend the deadline? Bloo hasn't voted for one.

EDIT: Or Vox, who is online now!!

They've had just over 2 days. I'm not going to keep extending it for people who CBA to come online.

Yeah so just pick one at random, that's fair...

As I said, Soe was leading for the entire period until the sixth vote came in an hour before the poll was supposed to close. I gave anyone who hadn't voted all day to cast a decider, yet none as come forward. Since it was obvious who had been leading this poll for a majority, I made the decision that Soe would be the winner. Now if you dislike the methods, then I suggest you a) get more people onto the community to vote and b) if it means that much, campaign more. I gave the poll a restart when the image glitched and although Soe still got the 6 votes from before, Melissa couldn't beat it. As I say, if you think there is a better method, then by all means, speak out. But when I started doing this in 2010, the main purpose was to get activity onto the board, something we desperatly need right now. If people who don't come on that often want to vote in a poll that was supposed to have been closed, then I hope that they see that as an incentive to visit the forum more often.

If even just one percent of those that have signed up to ATK over it's lifetime (speaking to any lurkers that are out there) just posted once a day, we'd be a hive of activity and we would have many more votes than we do now, and chances are we aren't having this discussion..

TL;DR - It's staying as it. If people cba to come on and vote in the 2 days given and suddenly want to appear to swing the balance, then tough. Soe lead for nearly all of the poll (which has lasted nearly 3 days inc. the glitched), so afaic, she wins it. Any problems, speak to my suggestion box.
