whoops. missed the deadline on this one, but my additional vote wouldn't have changed the outcome. watched chupke chupke, which was delightful in its nonstop madcap foolishness

[flip]

i haven't posted the list to letterboxd yet, so if you want to add in a new ballot, that's cool with me

[thoxans]

in that case...

khubsoorat
chupke chupke

*seen three (wanted to get to more, but it's been a hectic couple of weeks)

[flip]

that does change the results! it creates a tie for first

i'm not willing to reopen a poll to hold a tiebreaker runoff vote, so i'm making the decision to award 1.99 points instead of 2 to your first-place choice (but if another late ballot comes in so that it wouldn't create a tie for 1st, i'll change it back to 2 points)

[thoxans]

oh wait. i thought the previous totals were chupke chupke @ 17 pts, and khubsoorat @ 16 pts; and only 1 pt should've been added to each of those scores with my new ballot, seeing how 1 pt that khubsoorat received from my previous ballot was already factored into the 16 pts it had initially received... right?

[flip]

oh got it, i didn't realize you had posted a ballot already, so i just treated it like it was new. okay, no ties!

::insert joke about flip being a secret russian operative interfering in these polls which calls into question the results of all polls prior::

[flip]

the real question is why a secret russian operative would have any interest in manipulating the outcome of these polls. if you haven't worked that out yet, you're missing most of the story

Secret!? LOOK AT HIS AVATAR!!!

[thoxans]

that's what makes the ruse so ingenious! you'd never expect the open trotskyist to be an undercover russian spy. but now we all know flip's infamous ex-gf was maria butina

STOP THE COUNT
