July 19, 20177 yr Yeah I've started ticking "save in sent box" or whatever, ever since I couldn't remember if I'd sent them and didn't have access to the internet to send them again. Saves a lot of hassle even if I agree with the updated voter list as a necessity.
July 19, 20177 yr Basically I do the same everytime I sent my votes, tick the box...I started doing that since one time I hit sent button without message title and I closed the tab before I realised that the message it didn't go through, and ended up in the same situation as few here now ...I was swearing that I sent my votes lol but in fact it never went through because of reasons stated above.
July 19, 20177 yr I would agree that an updated voter list is somewhat essential so I will make the necessary change to the rules tonight. I think saying it's unfair is somewhat of an exaggeration
July 19, 20177 yr I totally agree with the above but it's worth pointing out that mere mortals (non mods) like me only have limited space for PMs so although I do always tick to keep a copy of the votes I've sent, I can only keep them for about six months as then I have to clear my inbox to make space. I only wish I still had all of my sent messages that I'd saved with my BJSC votes on!
July 19, 20177 yr With all due respect it really doesn't take much to bold a few names :lol: So I totally agree with making that compulsory. Reminders are nice but as Rich said when someone isn't a mod it's awkward to do as you don't get the option to PM multiple people, so i wouldn't make it compulsory.
July 19, 20177 yr I've updated the rules so hosts now have to regularly update the confirmed/voted list. Also guys please note that holiday arrangements have to be done with the mods in order for them to be valid. Arranging things with the host isn't acceptable and from here on we will void any arrangements that we are not involved in. We had a bit of a mix up this month with one set of holiday votes we didn't know about, not going to the correct host. Luckily it was resolved before the final but this is why we ask that you make the arrangements with us. We will remember and be able to ensure that the votes are received/counted properly. Did we ever get Jake's votes? Unless Jake has them in his sent box, as far as we can see they do not exist.
July 19, 20177 yr In fairness, a voter list wouldn't have actually helped here because both Jake and Travis said they voted on the final night so they wouldn't have seen it any earlier anyway. It's weird that this has happened twice in the same month but if Suede didn't receive the votes then they must have just got lost in transit somehow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If these phantom votes aren't going to be included then this is the final scoreboard before the deductions (fixed from Suede's original version with New Lexico's votes changed to the updated version and the anomalous extra 18 points for Trifoski and 1 point for Flynnonda removed): 1 318 Daehun 2 286 Cor Lupus 3 281 Altyr Muunilinst (31 votes) 4 281 Ojnoj (28 votes) 5 274 Aelandor 6 261 Ramrynia 7 260 République d'Ashton 8 235 Dobago 9 232 FSR Rontvia 10 212 Kluminican Republic 11 205 Fljótavík 12 196 Varakë 13 192 Hendinia 14 189 Sandebörg 15 188 Trifoski 16 184 FARC 17 182 Bhangra 18 177 Jadakissnia 19 173 Unovia 20 172 St. Burbia (21 votes; 1 18; 1 15) 21 172 Terra Avium (21 votes; 1 18; no 15s) 22 171 Cadelicia 23 164 Espen 24 158 Alteria 25 153 Niceland 26 152 Yehesi 27 148 Land of DW 28 146 Deandria 29 144 Flynnonda 30 133 Aeroche 31 131 Beaverdonia 32 129 Azure 33 125 Oslol 34 124 Lotunia 35 118 Bøtanikkä 36 112 South Danaelanda 37 107 Bignia-Zaragovina 38 99 Hushkanukia 39 97 Tinnmark 40 89 Ultraviolenceland 41 83 Medhelnia 42 63 Suedeonia I need some confirmation from Suede / the mods re: the deductions. It will be 33% for Medhelnia and 15% for Yehesi, but I don't know what deduction FARC get (at least 30% for the lack of semi votes but do they still get the other 33% deduction in light of this lost votes situation?) and I suspect Oslol also have a 15% deduction but I'm not totally sure about that, they may have just voted at the last minute before the original deadline. Have asked Suede a couple of times to confirm if there were other late voters but not had a response yet ;o Once we have worked out the full list of non-voters and such like we will confirm which countries are banned for next month. No votes received from #00274E, Aesthetica, Ajanaeda, FARC, Kingdom of Horanius, Medhelnia, Mezidinia, N DNTN and Skall.
July 19, 20177 yr for future reference who are the bjsc mods? i know silas is but not sure where to find a list of the others unless i'm just having a dumb moment of where to look x completely forgot to vote this month oop. will be back in 2 contests time with a BANGA
July 19, 20177 yr Any votes after 23:59 but before 16:00 get 15% as per the rules. Suede will have to confirm which nations that applies to. FARC will get 30% for non-voting in the semi's. A further 33% may still be applied to the remaining score. #00274E will not be getting a ban/deduction due to extenuating circumstances. That has been agreed by the mods already. All others will be confirmed in due course.
July 19, 20177 yr for future reference who are the bjsc mods? i know silas is but not sure where to find a list of the others unless i'm just having a dumb moment of where to look x completely forgot to vote this month oop. will be back in 2 contests time with a BANGA On the homepage, the moderators for each forum are listed in the right-hand-side column so for BJSC it is Silas, Jahq, Lew, Oricon and Ryan. I definitely didn't vote so yeah, that can be cleared up. (sorry Jade for you missing out due to my lack of votes - I see you mentioned me :heehee:)

BJSC mods are me, Leww, Ryan, Jahq and Oricon. We didn't expect votes from you with all that has happened so we're not giving you a ban/deduction
July 19, 20177 yr All the mods for the site are viewable here too: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?a...mp;CODE=leaders

July 19, 20177 yr So am I going to be banned because Suede didn't receive my votes? I'd understand if that's the case, although still a bit unfair because I definitely 100000% did vote. But, without proof otherwise, I'd understand it. Just a bit sad since I have an awesome song I was gonna send for August~
July 20, 20177 yr ^^ I actually remember Travis saying twice that he is going to vote during out late night plug session.
July 20, 20177 yr are you having a laugh?! i sent in my votes, telling me i didn't when i know fully well i did and in time is a joke and to now be excluded is shocking...do you really think i'd make such public pavlova if i disn't KNOW i'd voted on time?! and i'm not the only person saying this i double checked i was sending my votes to the right person then watched as it went through the process of saying the votes were sent; i find this insulting to my intelligence, as if i don't know after 11 years on this site how to use the PM system and now to be excluded?! there is something so off here
July 20, 20177 yr when was the last time two nations publicly stated they sent votes in on time but weren't included? why hasn't suedehead himself said anything here?
