Here’s the complete list of nominated shows/youtubes:https://pastebin.com/a06uSJEz
I wanted to set this up so that people who only watched a little television as well as massive media nerds like myself could have equal opportunity to play, so here's how the voting will work:
(1) If you list between 1 and 4 shows on your ballot, each show you vote for is given fifteen points.
(2) If you list between 5 and 10 shows on your ballot, each show you vote for is given ten points.
(3) If you list between 11 and 20 shows on your ballot, the first ten shows you include will be given ten points apiece and 11 through 20 will be tallied at five points.
(4) If you list up to 25 shows on your ballot: the first ten shows get ten points, 11 to 20 get five, 21 to 25 get three points apiece.
(5) If you list more than 25 shows on your ballot, I'll ignore everything after 25.
Obviously, given the method of assessing votes, you'll want to list your ballot in order of best to least. As much as humanly possible, please make your vote pertain only to seasons/episodes that were released in 2019... a vote for Better Things should be for the 2019 season and not for the first season that you just discovered over Christmas.
Send your ballots to forksclovetofu at gmail.comVoting Ends on MIDNIGHT US EST on Friday, January 31; I'll aim to put this up in the first week or two of February.
I need at least twenty people to vote to make this worthwhile; if we get more than thirty, I'll do a complete list roll-out.
Also I could use some assistance with poll images when this goes live... anybody good with graphics willing to help?

Yep, for the purposes of this poll, nominated youtube channels count as shows.Feel free to vote for write-ins but bear in mind you are tilting at windmills as votes for non-nominated shows won’t register. The nomination thread was open for a month!

for the sake of argument, I'll add your votes for shows/youtube series that didn't make the nomination cut, but you're unlikely to get a mass write-in push given the ridiculous number of already nominated options.

― Mordy, Tuesday, 21 January 2020 18:14 (five years ago)
if you want to vote strategically, yes! I wanted to give the option to folks who felt real passionate about two or three shows and didn't watch anything else to speak loudly. By normalizing the top ten as ten points, i hope that doesn't penalize maximists too much.

Hello I have OCD and I have recommendations: start a document on your desktop labeled "2020 Media" and then put in headings for MOVIE, TV, PLAYS, BOOKS/COMICS, CONCERTS, EXPERIENCES (good catch-all for museum visits, art shows, talks, ice skating and whatnot) and blammo, you have a diary that you can check at the end of the year to keep track of things you like. It's still January so you can likely put that list together now and not lose anything!If you are like me, organizing music this way is totally useless as there are too many songs/albums; so use ILM as your personal blog to keep track of stuff.Join me next week when I'll explain why you have to wash your hands for the third time (spoiler: you touched the sink)

If for no other reason (and, it should be said, there are other reasons), I'm thankful this poll exists to remind me to watch 63 Up. And, well, 56 Up, which I somehow failed to get around to over the span of seven dithering years.

I'm hovering right around ten shows that I'm caught up on and can legitimately vote for and there are at least a couple that frankly aren't really good enough for me to vote for. I may quite frankly cheat on the former point because I've just started watching (but am already several seasons into and will probably be caught up on by the time the results go live) a show which I've quickly fallen in love with and have on good authority maintains its sterling standards through the present day.

I genuinely didn't see the ballot thread, if I had I'd have nominated Legion, but tbh that would only increase my ballot from 3 to 4 shows - I will note down the results and then get around to them in 10 years, by which time half of them will have had a terrible final season and I will feel relief.

I feel like I watch a pretty healthy amount of TV yet I think I only saw the entire 2019 season of 12 shows apparently (voted for 10). I think I'll let the poll results guide my viewing in the immediate future (starting I imagine with Fleabag, which I haven't seen).
might ask my wife to do a list too, she watches way more than I do (while I'm watching sports). I bet she's gotten through at least 30-40 of these.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Friday, 31 January 2020 14:43 (five years ago)
"I think I'll let the poll results guide my viewing"my hope is that's what this poll is good for but to do that it needs a broad base of entries, so get in whatever you got so we can see what everybody's recommending!

i arranged the 15 shows i voted for into a tier of 1-10 and 11-15 to align with the point tiers above, but then i was thinking that if i could choose, i would give 10 points to my top 5, which were the shows i really enjoyed above and beyond everything else, and 5 points to my bottom 10, which were shows i enjoyed but didn't reach that peak. but i understand that letting everyone assign their own points is too complicated. just being honest about what i loved vs. what i liked
also i know it came out like three years ago but i think i should still be able to vote for twin peaks the return

Modest proposal: same points as before except on all ballots,
#4 = 15 points#3 = 20 points #2 = 25 points #1 = 30 points
I want my very favourite stuff to get an outsize share of the points and stand a better chance, and I think others would agree. As I say, your call, and thanks for running this
― opden gnash (imago), Friday, 31 January 2020 17:10 (five years ago)
I'll likely adjust different point scoring for future polls but let's chalk scoring issues up this go round to first time polling. I've already got a tabulation system in place and people voted based on it so i don't want the hassle/work/madness of revising it midstream.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 17:18 (five years ago)
Also: we are getting several ballots with only three or four picks which means there's some strategic options if you really want to stress the stuff you love!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 17:19 (five years ago)
Solution: close the voting tonight as planned. Then announce that every voter has 3 or 4 days to affirm their ordered top 4 by email. Then add 5 points to 4s, 10 to 3s, 15 to 2s and 20 to 1s. I don't want my #1 and #10 to get the same number of points, and my only 'strategic option' is to only vote for 4 things! Which all get the same points as each other anyway! Sorry to be difficult but this would be way better (and less of a dull Netflix procession) with more tiering.

Unless you're making a mordant comment on the viewing-figures-based likelihood of shows getting renewed lol

Problem with changing the voting is that not everyone who sent in a ballot is going to know things have changed.
― Charlotte Brontesaurus (Leee), Friday, 31 January 2020 17:53 (five years ago)
imago: sorry, it's not changing this year. It'll be okay! There will still be lots to explore and argue about even if the final tabulation doesn't meticulously reflect everyone's very specific enthusiasms to the proper decimal point.Plus: Moka images! How can you not be happy with Moka images!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 17:54 (five years ago)
Also forks if you aren't too busy tabulating results I could really use your help painting my house. And by help I mean basically that I need you to just be a dear and do it for me. I'll be out of town for the weekend, hope you can finish by the time I'm back!
― Dr. Teeth and the Women (Old Lunch), Friday, 31 January 2020 17:55 (five years ago)
obviously I feel like an asshole being like this but...a straight 25 points -> 1 point system would have been the way to go. send me the results and I'll tabulate them all lol
― opden gnash (imago), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:07 (five years ago)
alternatively let's just do this and think about a revision next time, sorry to have been a pest
― opden gnash (imago), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:09 (five years ago)
I like the limitations of the current voting.
― Yerac, Friday, 31 January 2020 18:10 (five years ago)
Nah, stick with Ulysses' plan. Changing the voting after 30+ people have voted is dumb.
― Dan Worsley, Friday, 31 January 2020 18:10 (five years ago)
Just a thought, but the time to issue concerns about the methods of tabulation would've maybe been any day prior to the voting deadline. Again, just a thought.
― Dr. Teeth and the Women (Old Lunch), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:14 (five years ago)
My ballot is in! I just put in four things I really, really liked.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:30 (five years ago)
It’s ok LJ u just being u!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:34 (five years ago)
And for the record: I realize that is not the best means of scoring for future. But we’re here now!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:41 (five years ago)
I am fine with different scoring for different polls, let a hundred flowers bloom! In a way, this scoring system forced me to put down four things I really liked and skip six which I like a lot but which lots of other people also like and maybe this helps reward individual enthusiasms, I dunno.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:43 (five years ago)
yeah, i don't think every poll needs P&J bloody tears level of point debating.
― Yerac, Friday, 31 January 2020 18:44 (five years ago)
Well under the current scoring regime I found myself kicking some shows off my ballot so that I only had 10 total entries.
― Charlotte Brontesaurus (Leee), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:47 (five years ago)
i also only did 4.
― Yerac, Friday, 31 January 2020 18:56 (five years ago)
I didn't actually order my already submitted ballot that carefully after the initial top four, tbh, and considered only voting for four also.
― Good taste, bit Victorian but who isn't? (jed_), Friday, 31 January 2020 19:17 (five years ago)
No reason to kick things off just to have ten! Any picks between eleven and twenty get five points and doesn’t penalize your first ten at all!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 19:17 (five years ago)
Only benefit to fewer picks is the under five ballot, where every vote gets fifteen.Intent there is to encourage casuals to vote and to have a rooting interest. It appears to be working, we have ballots of all types now!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 31 January 2020 19:19 (five years ago)
Oh damn I misread the rules then! Can I submit a revised ballot?
― Charlotte Brontesaurus (Leee), Friday, 31 January 2020 19:21 (five years ago)
Just for you yes

i sent in my ballot
― omar little, Friday, 31 January 2020 19:50 (five years ago)
I don't have the sensibility to work out whether 'strategically voting' for only a top 10 will benefit my favoured shows or not. Nor do I really have the restraint to only vote for a top 10.

I'ma vote, if only to distract myself from today's politics.
― Ainsley James Gryffyd Lowbeer Holdsworth (Raymond Cummings), Saturday, 1 February 2020 01:18 (five years ago)
It's amazing how few of these shows I've seen, though there are some things I *wanted* to see but didn't get around to or didn't have access to.
― Ainsley James Gryffyd Lowbeer Holdsworth (Raymond Cummings), Saturday, 1 February 2020 01:25 (five years ago)
messed up that the good place wasn't nominated

You’re not the first to vote for it
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Saturday, 1 February 2020 04:10 (five years ago)
Anyway, last call? Any left over ballots unmailed? Let me know, otherwise I will add and tabulate and close when I am done.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Saturday, 1 February 2020 04:12 (five years ago)
I just sent you a revised ballot if not too late
― Vinnie, Saturday, 1 February 2020 04:19 (five years ago)
I would have voted for bob's burgers too if it was on there, but I somehow doubt there are many other people clamoring for it

indeed, yes, I posted that to mean that it would be a bad idea to change the rules / shift the goalposts after people had already submitted their ballots.
I don't think a different weighting would have a significant effect anyway.
― Good taste, bit Victorian but who isn't? (jed_), Saturday, 1 February 2020 05:42 (five years ago)
add The Good Place to the end of mine too if you can be bothered, no wucks if not

wucks?
― Good taste, bit Victorian but who isn't? (jed_), Saturday, 1 February 2020 06:13 (five years ago)
Same - I’d like The Good Place added to my ballot too if possible but OK if it’s not.

"no wuckin' furries"
― don't care didn't ask still clappin (sic), Saturday, 1 February 2020 10:05 (five years ago)
added two 5pt votes for good place for Roz and sic and changed vinnie's ballot and am adding everything up so hang on a second...
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Saturday, 1 February 2020 17:23 (five years ago)
Okay, great turnout! 53 ballots and 585 votes!
I'll be rolling out the 77 Winners (yay, we got enough where #77 got two votes at least)in about two to three weeks once we get done with the tabulation, Moka tackles images, I pull youtubes and ilx threads... and oh yeah we gotta get the ILM album poll done still. Nonetheless, I'm excited! Great job everybody!
Thread may now be used for speculation on winners!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Saturday, 1 February 2020 18:36 (five years ago)
also i looked up giri/haji and added to my netflix queue so thanks!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Saturday, 1 February 2020 18:38 (five years ago)
yeah, thanks for that, watched my first episode last night. was just missing Kelly Macdonald last week and there she is!
― by the light of the burning Citroën, Saturday, 1 February 2020 18:43 (five years ago)
Yeah I didn't realize voting for the Good Place was possible! But I'm comfy with my top 4 as they are, as much as I like the Good Place (would have rated season 1 as #1 of 2016 I imagine) I'd put 2019 TGP in the group of things I'd be happy to see in the rolllout but to which I don't want to give the same points as I do to my absolute faves.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 1 February 2020 19:21 (five years ago)
I missed voting fo this but a top 4 would be
1) Pose2) bojack Horseman3) The good place4) midnight Diner (深夜食堂)
Very much colluded by my veil f this weekend, however Pose is definitely for all time.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 2 February 2020 10:30 (five years ago)
Moka's images for this are fucking awesome btw.
We'll likely kick off this upcoming Monday and run either over the next two weeks or just Monday to Thursday.
High Maintenance premiers tonight!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Saturday, 8 February 2020 01:20 (five years ago)
xp I loved the first season of Pose but that's all I've seen so far
― Dan S, Saturday, 8 February 2020 01:23 (five years ago)
damn i missed this, will be cheering for a high placement for Schitt's Creek. very interested to see the results!

Looking forward to this. How many ballots were there in the end?
― groovypanda, Saturday, 8 February 2020 17:39 (five years ago)
ONE HUNDRED.
― Charlotte Brontesaurus (Leee), Saturday, 8 February 2020 19:16 (five years ago)
nobody wants two week roll-outs!You can listen to a song in the time between results on a tracks thread, you need 11 hours to watch a TV series
― Fantastic. Great move. Well done (sic), Saturday, 8 February 2020 20:00 (five years ago)
i generally need a month.
― Good taste, bit Victorian but who isn't? (jed_), Saturday, 8 February 2020 20:01 (five years ago)
you gotta queue it up in another tab and choke it down in order to add yr first thoughts to the rollout before another result gets posted
― Fantastic. Great move. Well done (sic), Saturday, 8 February 2020 20:35 (five years ago)
53 ballots. Two week roll out would be a function of my work schedule I’m afraid. Let’s see.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Sunday, 9 February 2020 05:34 (five years ago)
that’s a solid turnout!
― Clay, Sunday, 9 February 2020 05:42 (five years ago)
Enough to do a legit 77 i think
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Sunday, 9 February 2020 05:54 (five years ago)
Wow that's great. I saw ~20 different shows last year, which is of course a very small slice of what's out there. excited to see what I'm missing out on
― Vinnie, Sunday, 9 February 2020 06:12 (five years ago)
forks I seriously think a slow roll-out suits a TV poll, giving people time to talk about the results at more leisure, especially if they're not online during the moments that you're posting. don't stress!
― Fantastic. Great move. Well done (sic), Sunday, 9 February 2020 08:19 (five years ago)
