There is discontent in the masses and this discontent must be quashed by, er, giving them what they want.

Since some of you still do not seem to get the rules I do not feel like playing anymore... :,(

This is the day all of a sudden has 42 (it had 40 before) votes, and you put a (+) to PFAYM but did not change the vote from 51 to 50...

I disagree, it's like rewarding unruly children for misbehaving!
But whatever, I'm not playing anymore, you've ruined it IMHO. Never mind. Enjoy the rest of the game everyone. Sorry to go all Dragon's Den, but 'I'm out'.

It's Not War will probably 'win', eventually, my choice would fairly obviously have been Autumnsong.

Aww, I'm sorry Porco, I didn't mean to upset your highbrow tastes . I'm sure everyone else will enjoy their two votes a day, and It's Not War will lose/win as you said. Goodbye!

I'm sure that isn't a case of 'not getting the rules', it's just a mistake. I know I've found that with the editing I have to do (removing the 'quote' tags, moving the 'bold' tags, adding/removing my/their plus and minus signs) that I occasionally forget to change the actual figures I always spot it and correct immediately though. TITD changing to 42 just looks like they deleted the last digit by mistake when removing the 'quote' tags and replaced it with the wrong one. Again, easy to do, I've made the same mistake myself before.

I'll go along with that , ta Marwood. I can assure you all I wasn't trying to rig the vote!

Hopefully what I put above should be right now

So this is my (ONLY) vote for the day:

UK Channel Boredom -34
Let Robeson Sing -62 (-)
Underdogs -31
Autumnsong -110
It's Not War -117
Postcards From A Young Man -47 (+)

AAAAAAARGH!!! I don't believe this!! I double-checked, as well! Where the hell did all those wrong numbers come from?!? Did anyone delete their last vote? Was I too slow and missed a couple?!? This is weird... Surely my maths problems aren't THAT big?!? Now you know what I meant, though. *blushing*

OK, so this was the last one before mine:

And based on it, here's my correct one - I think (!!!!).
