In My Stash GB : Threepeat

Ya know, I was a little worried about our fearless leader.  For awhile I thought "cripes, he's gonna have to build another boat!"

I believe that might have pushed him over the edge.

I hear ya, arki.  Although, from what I have seen, that kit that he will be building isn't any pushover either...

Just noted another trend in the exit polling thus far:

Of the 13 votes that were decided as of my review earlier today:

9 are building aircraft

3 are building ships/subs

1 is building a car

For cryin' out loud, is any armor going to get built in this thing...??

man always happens the vote comes i go away and there is a million new pages to read lol .

well i am glad you are all enjoying the vote process and teh build is always great

i hope you all have had great holidays so far

and yes another 3ft model to build yipppeeeeee lol

Voter #30 please put me out of my misery, the suspence is killing me

Cheers

Bear

Someone is being a bum here, almost everybody above Jeff has 29 votes, and everyone below 28. 

Please go back and double check that you have voted for **everyone.**  Even if nothing among the choices interests you...

In theory my armor could still be knocked out if the last two votes were to actually come in too.

I just went back over the list just to be sure and I did voted for each member....Shades of Minnisota!! Are we going to need a recount?

I know the rules here are set for this build but here's a suggestion for maybe next year build.   Build 2 kits, one that has the most votes and the other that got 0 votes. Opposite ends of the voting scale.

Dupes, it looks like you and I could be building the same kit if the votes stay the way they are now. That will be an interesting GB for us I think.

Yeah, you better believe it! Still hoping that mystery 30th voter casts his ballot in time...I could end up with a tie.

Guess I should start trying to track down that Cobra Company resin set - or hope that they reopen some time soon!

I thought you had the NTS upgrade already?

 As for the short votes, I don't know if it matters that much. When the polls close, the highest tally wins. What I'm wondering about are the ties... does everyone vote again between the 2 (or more) kits that are tied?

Yup, if you have kits that are tied (no matter how many) we all get to vote on the AGAIN!!  Shades of Florida in 2000!!!  Depending how tight the tie is, we might need to set up our own 'Supreme Court' to reach a decision...

And I voted for a bunch of the armor choices.  Bummer.

Yeah, but there are still a lot of undecided races, a few with armor kits in or near the lead...  we shall see...

As already answered several times, for those wondering what we do in case of tie, we have a tie-breaker vote.

We've had one for the previous two IMS GB's, so this is sort of expected.

However, here's something to bake your noodle.  In the last IMS, the tie-breaker vote didn't necessarily resolve anything.  We actually had tie votes in the tie-breaker.   I seem to recall T Gregory was one of the unfortunates who had that issue.  In the end, Kenny had to toss a coin and pick one! 

The aggravating issue for me is the discrepancy in the number of votes cast for each person.  Same issue last year right down to the wire.  I recall one person never did vote, only to show up much later wondering what he'd missed.

Ah, good times.

It is a little odd that as you go down the list, the number of voters diminishes... Well, we shall see what the next 36 hours brings for those of us who are still wondering what our future holds...

Hey guys, thought I'd give you today's exit polls.  I'm only going to do those folks at the bottom of the list that did not have 29 votes, since only their results could be changed (by the way, anyone get 30 votes yet...?).  The only exception is, if your race was decided already, I did not bother to update it.  Yesterday's results remain, with today's update below

btp2k2:               28 votes       one at 10; 4 at eight

As you can see, the most recent voting activity has decided only one additional race.  It has, however, tightened up several others.

Where are those missing voters??!!

I'm with you arki.  I especially can't wrap my noggin around why the guys lower down on the list are trending one vote short compared to the guys at the top.  It doesn't really make a lot of sense to me.

I remember now that one 'non-voter' from last year.  Wish I remembered who it was to see if he is in the GB this year... and if he has voted!

  I went back and checked, all my votes are in.

Kenny you might want to start warming up your coin

Bear,

Hate to break it to you, but you are still one short - well I think you are.  When I check, it shows that you have 29 votes.  Do you see that you have 30?  If so, that is great because maybe it means mystery voter has arrived.  If it is stuck at 29, then you are in the same boat I am - waiting... waiting... waiting...

Boyd  Yup I'm still one short and like you waiting.... waiting.... waiting did I mention waiting. 

Went back in time and checked the IMS2 vote and the person who missed the vote is not participating this year.
