wtf did I do?
Well it seems election mania has finally subsided over at
v1: The tired old Bad Poster thread. The quite unsatisfying result ended up being co-title holders:
Deuces McCracken and
spanktehbadwookie... kinda like the William & Mary of Baja Politards. This then is a good time to review the history of Baja Politard's Bad Poster Elections...
- 2014 Election, by The REAL Trolly:
This election was pretty much perfect. The time to vote was too long in the first round, but that was corrected going forward. The Head-2-head format really encouraged the trash talking. Two very picayune quibbles: the system that the MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL uses where teams are re-bracketed after each round is superior to a fixed bracket, as used in this election. Also... the finals should not have been multi-vote (for aesthetics reasons only).
- 2015 Election, by Shame Trolly !!!1!:
Since this election didn't reach a quorum, it can't be considered wildly successful. However, it did end up accomplishing what it was intended to do: legitimize ikestoys title. Two things I would have done differently: first I set the quorum way too high for today's Baja Politards. Second, instead of being silly, and listing a buncha 'colorful' posters, I should have played it straight by, say, picking the top nine in cumulative Bad Poster votes (see chart below), plus a write-in spot of course.
- v1 Only Election, by SenorKeeed:
This is the election that spat out co-title holders. Some, including SenorKeeed himself, consider that alone to be a fail. Other than that fiasco, this election was also marred. Now... I don't blame the Committee, they worked long and hard on this project. But they sure didn't pick a very good spokesperson. Now, before we get to the quibbles... it should be pointed out that the overall overall format of this election was sound. This wasn't a long-running tournament without any need for expediency... The old, tired, Bad Poster thread had been crippled without a real title holder for way to long. The June 1st deadline had come and gone. Something needed to be done in a timely manner.
However, although the minimum Baja post requirements were stated, they weren't consistently repeated in all the relevant threads. The fact there was only one preliminary round was never made clear. The number of posters going to the finals should have been specified (not a vague 2 or 3), there wasn't near enough time for nominations, or enough time for voting in the preliminary round.
Cumulative Bad Poster Vote Totals
(v1 only in parens). Election mandate. & Two pools. # Preliminary rounds. a Election to ratify co-title holders, votes to remove Deuces McCracken, and votes to remove nobody, counted for spanktehbadwookie, and visa-verse. b Title retained for lack of quorum. c Two and a half year election mandate ignored. d As of June 4th.
