Composers Hall of Fame Game.

[Rod Corkin]

Yeh it's fine now, next one to vote agains Handel can enter a new composer
Handel is doomed!

This is the stupidest most undemocratic poll I've ever seen in all my life. Multiple votes per person and all. And you wonder why I am so cynical about this place? But the fact that the usual suspects of GMG have saw fit to boot out Handel first must by default confirm that Handle is the greatest composer. Cheers lads!

Come on, it's democratic, the people spoke, Handel is out, deal with it

Heck you call this poll democratic? So you believe the old German Democratic Republic was a real democracy too I suppose... 

[The Emperor]

Why is it not democratic? Everyone has the same votes, the same rights, so what's the problem?
Just read the rules...

I have already pointed out that people are allowed multiple votes, ie one per day, so that those regulars attending this thread are over represented. By the look of it its the same few voting again day after day. You may call that democratic, but please don't run for President...

[The Emperor]

Everyone votes once per day (a + and -), it's the same for everybody, don't see a problem there.
If more people don't join the game is not our fault, everyone is feel to vote.
Plus if you didn't notice, this a game, don't like it, don't play it, just chill out...

I am chilled out, just seems a strange way to pass the time of day. I've just noticed this thread today, what if I wanted to vote for Handel? Too late! The result is meaningless really...

You can help get rid of a composer, and then re-introduce Handel if that is allowed

You didn't vote for him, lost your chance...
If you miss a poll in real life you miss your chance also, not our fault.

And of course the result is meaningless, it's a game...

Well usually a poll is announced long in advance of the actual vote! I think it could have been even more fun, but don't worry though, play away boys.

I thought it was "poopy flying", not "flying poopy" ........

good point. The "poopy flying" species are more deadly, they'll drop a log of poop on people that'll kill them instantly while they're walking around in the rain forest.

The "flying poopy" species fly around underwater, and while they also drop their poop, the speed will be much slower, resulting in rare chance of bodily injury.

Perhaps, if the options are there, there may be a poll where users are allowed to vote twice per day but will not see the results until the vote expires. That way the votes given solely to save (or bury) a composer may be avoided. We can see at the end of say 1 month who got the most and least votes. There will have to be 20 choices for 10 composers (1 for + and 1 for -). If this is not possible there may be two polls: one for positive votes and one for negative ones
