Actually 2 votes... if it ends with a tie, Camel will go ahead! Tongue

the tiebreaking mechanism has been changed. I really didn't like the way ties got broken for the 1st round.

So what's the new mechanism?

its a secret... that was part of the point of changing it. More drama and less predictable. It was M@X's idea to help boost ratings for Progspin. Clap

Like... you should make a selfie of yourself on a real live camel for an extra vote for Camel?

Or an ELPfie for ELP? LOL

I was on the losing side of that.

You would think that. My sinister reputation. Well cultivated, and earned LOL

However I've been a good boy, this was not a life or death contest like some others here have been, and I've completely on the up and up. Clap

No alt-ID's, no campaigning for votes (and they are there) of friends and ex-collabs that no longer post here that are my friends on FB, that are big ELP fans. Using alt-ID's would have been below the belt, and to be honest, ELP has 'won' the poll already in my mind so I really didn't bother with the FB campaign. The final result pointless as either will get crushed next round.

By having such a close nip and tuck contest. ELP's reputation has been slightly restored.. and the best part.. doing so while have a good bit of forum fun LOL

oh no. I do have a new way for breaking ties. It might not be announced on the general forum (secrecy and drama.. after all .. the whole intent is to have some 'over the top' fun).. but if it is needed (and would here i suppose if ELP DID tie it) the mechanism would be explained. Not here but in the collab zone thread where we are working on these contests. so no hanging chads or partisan court judges ignoring good common sense and the rule of law LOL

Oh yeah. I had decided to change after the last tie we broke but didn't see the point in mentioning it. As this one is so close, and people already figuring the tiebreaker, it was the right place to say the tiebreaking mechanism (if necessary) has changed but won't be known to the forum to not influence voting (oh.. a tie and we win).

in all seriousness.. it was a lot of fun. As much fun as I thought it would be, but what it great was ELP keeping it close. As I alluded to, that in my eyes makes it a 'win' for ELP regardless of who advances.

ELP and their fans can no hold their heads high knowing they can hold their own against even the most overrated and trumped up 2nd division generic prog groups LOL

Correction: ELP and their fans can now hold their heads high knowing they can ALMOST hold their own against even the most underrated 2nd division prog groups
