It should always be 200.  This means that 23 points are missing.
I'm calling people who can't copy from the previous post. Tongue
 
The errors (and they are just silly errors) are distributed throughout the thread. The first cock-up occurs here: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=88006&PID=4563911#4563911 ... need I continue Rob or shall we just ignore it?

As they used to say....pwnd!LOL

I  look again and  see Rob corrected it though......it was notsosmartpatrol's error.

Not much of a game using a simple binary search - in 72 pages you can locate a page with a mistake in 6 moves, then locate the erroneous post in 4 moves. Once you've got the first one the next require fewer moves . I'm not going any further with it because this game thread is riddled with mistakes.

I did copy from the previous post, and the previous post (and post prior to that) was wrong, so I amended my post.  Wink

Silly errors tend to ruin things for me, particularly games on an Internet forum.

Well, we have 17 more points than we ought to. If it will make Rob happy, why not just subtract 1 point from every band, and take the remaining seven from the seven bands that have been in the poll the longest?

Like so:

Van Der Graaf Generator 17
Opeth 13
Can 14
Don Caballero 7
Mastodon 11
Banco 21
Kansas 13 
Hawkwind 16
Sieges Even 9
Le Orme 19

...because some of extra points are for bands that are no longer on the list so the wrong artists are being penalised. Also, I'm not so convinced the 17 point deficit is real - I think it's more likely 3 points - I suspect the total score should be 180 and someone's forgotten to add a band to the hall of shame.

Your total is 199 - the previous totals were 200, the missing score occurs in your post - the silly mistakes do happen in Andy's post and are partly corrected by yourself and Jon but not completely.
