October 19, 201311 yr I have voted, love my top seven a lot. WIsh I had had a bit more time over the week to listen more, but OH WELL.
October 19, 201311 yr Oh thank GOD Wall has voted. Can't have his 2nd best entry ever getting a deduction. Phlox, Jester, Martyn and Jonjo looking like lost causes though :(
October 19, 201311 yr Harve did vote (which is why I didn't include him in my last post cos I knew he was voting).
October 19, 201311 yr Oh yeah. I did have to ask Ryan if the deadline was when 19.00 started or when 19.00 ended (i.e. 19.01 began). :D I'd listened to every track beforehand though, I just couldn't decide! So so good. :( Edited October 19, 201311 yr by Harve
October 19, 201311 yr Author Voting has now closed! I will confirm the non-voting countries in a few minutes when I've sorted out the last minute PMs.
October 19, 201311 yr Jester not voting.......... http://static.unrealitytv.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/christopher-maloney3.jpg
October 19, 201311 yr Oops. Just voted, up to Ryan if he accepts or not - I understand if i'm banned from the next contest though :( MY BAD.
October 19, 201311 yr I thought it was midnight deadline for some reason :( I feel your pain, Martyn - me too!
October 19, 201311 yr Tbh, we should be allowed to give 5 or so tracks a token one point each, in addition to the 12/10/8...2/1 votes we have now. I hate this whole commiseration business!!

This is actually the first time in a while where I didn't really have a problem. There was one song that got squeezed out at the last second but usually I'd liked to have voted for about ten more.
October 19, 201311 yr Author Right! Firstly, the only reason I made the deadline 7pm is to give me this extra evening to prepare results as otherwise I would be struggling to get prepared in time for results tomorrow evening and no-one would want to wait another day or two. However, I understand that it is confusing to have voting close at a different time in the final compared to the semi finals but I thought it wouldn't be an issue as I remember it wasn't a problem in my previous contest. Nevertheless, I have been working out the changes the late votes would make and they are not very significant. Just about every country does not move more than 1 or 2 places and there is no change to either the top 3 or bottom 3 due to the different musical tastes the late voters had so they sort of cancelled each other out. So for this reason, I will accept the late votes as it shouldn't be too much hassle to add them into the results preparations and at the end of the day everyone wants to have as many points as possible and there won't be any significant changes! Phlox also can have until midnight to send me his votes. Hope that's ok for everyone and I've learnt that I should have just gone with a midnight deadline even though it gives me less time to prepare as this situation has arisen in quite a few of the recent contests I think. :kink:
